Re: will vs living trust

What makes a will valid fills up pages of law books. There is a famous case of a will written on the wall of (i think) the person's bedroom!

It does need to be witnessed. It need not be kept at the court house. Anyone can keep it.

They are not at all expensive any more. You should see a lawyer and get a simple one drawn up.
