More questions than answers

I've learned it's impossible to add photos to my blog from my iPad without using a Google app. I'm not interested so you will have to wait until tomorrow to see the great photos I had in store for today.

Last night, as I plugged my phone in to charge, lucky me. It was 11:37! I had no idea. Is this now a sign that my parents are looking out for me?






I spent a few hours today reading my estate book and taking notes. I ended up with more questions than lessons learned.

Of the few books I've borrowed from the library, this is the one I seem to like best
and would be most likely to recommend. So far...

However, I learned what per stirpes means. It means that each branch of a family is to receive an equal share of an estate. I've heard that term before. That's the situation we're in. My brother's bloodline (that consists of just my brother) and my bloodline which is me... and my three adult children. There's also something called per capita. Since it didn't apply to us, I didn't take notes. I think that means each beneficiary gets an equal amount. I'm not 100% sure so don't take my word about that.

I also learned that securities can be distributed in kind unequally with cash used to equalize the distributions. The important thing is having it all in writing. That was something I wondered about yesterday.

Today I went to the first funeral I've attended since my dad's funeral. Tomorrow is funeral #2. I want to know when 2015 starts to get better. When?
