[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1464759, member: 26621"] We had a discussion along these lines with my parents this evening. Life dealt them a serious bunch of lemons in February, 1998. Long story short, my little sister was called up, and Dad kind of folded. As a Daddy, I can't imagine getting through it, so I've tried to never judge how he or Mom handled it....or still handle it. Anyhow, they squared things with the feds today (a debt they didn't really owe....just based it on prior earnings) and walked away in the black. They still own some good real estate, and we've lost some close family friends in the past couple weeks.....That's where this gets back on topic. Mom asked what I wanted, and I made it clear to not leave me anything but the bills. Leave the estate to my sister or my kid. Mom got a little upset when I told them that they have a good payday on the way if I kick the bucket, and she got a lot upset when she found out that I prefer cremation and a party to burial and a funeral. She really lost it when Dad said he'd rather be torched, too. My folks are good at aggravating the pizz outa me, but I still can't imagine trying to rob them in their twilight. I'll be a happy man if they cost me a fortune in their old age. [/QUOTE]
