When my father in law died, his will was 10 years old and did not reflect what he wanted when he passed. It caused a tremendous amount of stress and conflict amongst the people that loved him. He left a mixed legacy and it shadows the way his family interact to this day. I know you're a practical guy and would not want your family to guess what you wanted or be troubled by things that you can take care of now. I am not trying to morbid, but take it from me, you do not want your loved ones to go through more than they have to. It may also help you to know that they are taken care of in the way you wanted.

My thoughts are with you. Even though I don't really "know" you, I consider you to be a friend and wish you the best.
