DO IT TODAY!!!!! Get your Will & Living Will up-to-date
Afterwork I'm driving to my local computer store and picking up one of those Willmaker Software programs. I don't have much to my name so I really don't want to go through the expense of a lawyer when I could put this together myself.

I'm putting together my will including a living will that will have defined conditions of what to do with my body should I end up in a state similiar to Terry Schiavo. My biggest concern is if I end up like this after my mother & her husband passes away. I trust my mother to keep my wishes, but I do not trust the rest of family including a sibling who is a neo-con fundie.

I don't want to wait another day. I want to get something done to ensure that I never end up as a tool of Tom Delay and the fundie losers!!

2. just make sure your state recognizes holographic wills
if you're going to be making one out on your own, or be sure to have it properly executed. many states do not recognize holographic wills (including those made on computers) unless they also meet the statutory requirements; i.e. NY.
