| My sister is wanting my kid after I die Posted: 25 Jan 2020 09:23 AM PST I have always been straight forward and let everyone know that my son is to go to my best friend when I pass away if he is still underage. His dad and that side of the family are absolute trash— toxic, bigoted, racist, always the victim, entitled jerks. My side is mostly old and disabled except for my sister. She's in college, has a good job, doing well. However, she's kinda a terrible person. She's also extremely introverted and gets drained easily. My son is 4 and special needs. I 100% do not think she'd be mentally and emotionally equipped to handle him. She's saying when I die and Son is still underage she's going to go against my dying wish, my wants, and my very thorough decision of what's best for my son. She says she's going to court for kinship if I die or whatever, maybe even now. What can I do to protect my son? He'd be best in my best friend's and I've thought about it for years and it's never changed. Thanks everyone for any help that can be provided. EDIT: Wanted to add some additional context: 1 Dad is registered sex offender, against a minor female. My son does not fit the age or sex of his "preferred victim type." He's trying to be a better dad, so I've allowed more visitation based on that. The situation with his crime is... complicated. 2 Dad is not financially sound to take care of Son. He doesn't know how to budget or save. He's currently in one of those rooming apartments and usually can't pay his phone bill in a timely fashion, if that gives you any indication of his ability to take care of a child let alone himself. 3 Probably can't marry friend because she in love and eventually wants to marry her partner. So no Chuck and Larry kinda thing going to happen there. 4 Friend is 100% on board about taking Son when I pass. Family... family is not because "faaaaamily should be with faaaaamily" even if they aren't equipped to do so. Especially my Mother and Grandmother, think I'm not choosing my sister because I don't love her or some BS like that and refuse to listen to my argument and reasonings. All of them are stubborn and feel insulted that I chose an outsider. 5 Sister thinks she's stable enough to handle him. She's fallen asleep watching him and he wasn't there by her because he left to go to a different apartment. (My mother and grandmother live kitty corner across the hallway from each other in the same building. Sister was visiting). I just know, as he's getting older and his, erm, needs are getting more pronounced and defined, she wouldn't be able to handle his outbursts or special attention. 6 I am dying, slowly, but most likely won't make it through another decade. Also, in case of a fatal accident, I want him to be protected. 7 I am sure if it's between Friend and Sister, Dad would 100% pick Friend. However he might want his family to take Son. Which, would be catastrophic. They are absolutely a terrible fit for taking care of him, given their track record with him. [link] [comments]  |
| Code bootcamp preys on minorities and tricks them into indentured servitude Posted: 25 Jan 2020 04:49 AM PST TLDR: I got tricked into signing an income share agreement. Didn't receive anything that was promised. Now the school wants %12 of my income for three years and is threatening to sue me. I'm wondering if this is legal and whether I have any recourse against this "code school". I'd appreciate any laws or examples that could point me the right way. I just want to know if I have a case or not. Heres the story: I was living in public housing in NYC when they sent me an email featuring this is non profit code boot camp that would teach us to code at no upfront cost. ( they actually never mention what the cost is when courting us ) It wasnt until after going through a days long interview process did we find out there was pay it forward agreement. Sort of like indentured servitude where if we get a job, they take a percentage of our money, usually called an ISA. I was reticent to sign, but there were two things: The pay it forward contract advertised helping future underserved minorities and poor people learn to code, and I was told I would have in depth training in computer science. I was told I would not find these computer science fundamentals on my own. I was also told I would have resources like a metro card to get there every day and a computer. What I actually recieved after signing the contract was far from what I was promised. My class was made of 36 students, and taught by 3 different teachers ( one per day usually). 2 of the "teachers" had graduated the program just the year before, and did not have a degree in computer science nor much industry experience, nor did they know anything about pedagogy and how to teach. The third teacher was a new grad with a computer science degree but he left halfway through. The PM who told me I would get training in computer science also left halfway through. Several other instructors and PMs in other classes left part ways through as well. About 1/3 of the time at this program was actually spent ( haphazardly ) learning how to code. The rest of the time was spent on professional development training where we were taught to write resumes, interview, and speak tech lingo (while having no real grasp of the tech concepts). We were then paraded in front of tech companies as minority hires. But that doesnt actually work in tech. You kind of need to actually know how to code. So the only option was to teach myself how to code in my spare time. The resources they used were just links from Google anyway, I felt like I could do a better job. The contract is written so that basically any job you get thats anywhere near a computer qualifies, which is almost any job. You just have to make more than 60K, and they will take %12 before taxes. And they spent a lot of time getting us to apply to jobs. Also the pay it forward part, which is described in the contract as helping future students learn to code, was actually a lie. None of the money goes to help anyone new, it all goes back to the programs investors. ( They're a non profit with investors that we have to pay back at 15x what its actually worth ) In 2019 they tried to get us to sign new contracts rebranding it to a bond. The bond removes the mention of helping future students and is more clear about paying back investors. I never signed this though. Also I received no computer and no metro card. I basically went into debt going to this program where I essentially taught myself to code whilst the administration enacted a comedy of errors. My credit score dropped over a hundred points and by the end I was late several payments. But my hard work actually did pay off and I was able to land an internship before the program ended. But many others were not able to and even if they got an internship, they were not able to keep up and get hired. I'm actually still teaching myself as theres just a vast amount I dont know. And now this boot camp is planning to sue me, along with others refusing to pay. They want 12% of my income ( before taxes ) for three years, which would likely cost more than an actual computer science degree almost anywhere. And I dont feel like I or any of the other students should have to pay. This program specifically targeted young minorites and women. They tricked us into signing away our paychecks then taught us how to get jobs so they can extort it back from us. They are registered as a non profit and recieve grants and donations to fund their program. Yet they want us to pay tens of thousands for 8months of resume writing classes. Is this legal? I mean we were so poor we'd sign just about anything to escape. And we trusted them because they were a non profit. Is there any way I can fight against this? I kind of want to get this company shut down, so they can't do this to more people. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jan 2020 09:55 AM PST This morning I woke up to papers saying that I had been served and I had been named as a defendant in a lawsuit, Some piece of property, apparently, was seized by a town in MA after non-payment of taxes in August of 2000. I was a toddler. I called my mother and she has no knowledge of this property; I was listed on the citation in name of my father, but to make this even weirder -- he died in 1997. I imagine he had little to do with this as well. My father's residence was in VT, I was raised in NY, currently live in CT. He lived in MA at one point, but decades in the past. The document states, "You have been named in the attached tax lien foreclosure Complaint filed by the Plaintiff. The complaint asks the Court to enter a judgement ending any right or interest you may have in the land listed on the next page of this citation, for failure to pay property taxes or charges. This is known as "foreclosing the right of redemption." The lawsuit was filed by some builder in Maine. The actual case says "City of [X] v. [Builder's name]" What the fresh hell is going on? Four other people were named along with me (one including my aunt). I don't recognise the other names. My father had interest in MA, but did not reside there. His interest was in the south of Boston, though (think Braintree), and this city is a bit a ways outside fo Boston and in the north of the state. To make this even more odd, when I put in the address of the alleged property, no address comes up. No street of that name in that city can be located. It also says the builder is the owner of the property on a different page -- so what gives? But also lists an owed amount as $150,000. This is real, because the lawyer offices are real, and it came via certified mail. Can any lawyer decipher this for me? I tried calling the courts, but its Saturday, so obviously I got no answer. I'm very confused. I am a broke college student who literally does not have enough money to pay rent, so this gives me a ton of anxiety. Edit: possible pertinent information: there was a trust established after my father's death since I was a newborn. There was not a lot of money in it, because he was not a wealthy man. Any money that survived is no longer in a "trust" but is just "my" money under my name, with no trust documents attached, as far as I'm aware. I rolled it into a retirement account because that was easiest. I think some still exists in a 529, but I imagine you can't sue for that. Edit: I did contact the deed office in the relevant county, listed on the document, because I cannot find either of the streets listed (no address, listed as "intersection of x and y") or the coordinates. Maybe they can shed some light on the information. [link] [comments]  |
| Dad Threatened to call CPS on me. Posted: 25 Jan 2020 09:07 AM PST Hi, so I'm a 15 year old female who lives in Texas. To add a little context, I've been living with my grandma for a little under 2 years after my birth father threatened to kill me. My grandma never tried to get legal guardianship of me because he threatened her if she brought it to court. So this brings me to a few days ago when he messaged my grandma about a medical bill he received from when I went to a hospital. (I won't get into the message because it's too long) but the gist of it was that he wanted me back in his home by tomorrow, or he will call CPS and report me as a runaway. I'm scared to death of this man and I know if I go back to his home he'll kill me. I've already talked to my school about this, but the counselor doesn't think he'll go through with the threat. I also talked to the officers on campus and they said that on Monday they'll check their database to see if I'm reported as a runaway, and that they'll fix it. But I'm just concerned that I'll have to go to my birth fathers house. P.S: I'm really sorry if the grammar is not correct or if I'm rambling, I'm very scared and anxious at the moment and I'm hoping I can get some advice over what I can do. [link] [comments]  |
| HOA messed up on a property lien because of an incorrect legal description Posted: 25 Jan 2020 09:27 AM PST I am executor of an estate and am currently less than a week away from closing on the sale of a property owned by the decedent. The HOA of said property had supposedly put a lien on the place, but the title company told me they couldn't find one when they ran a search. After doing a bit of digging I discovered they did file a lien... but they used the wrong legal description of the property. If the sale goes through without them realizing their mistake, are they SOL or would they be able to get the lien money through other means? (Note: enough time has passed that no creditors are able to place anymore claims against the estate). The lien placed was from unpaid HOA dues ($1200), and fines (around $7000 from a daily $25 charge over 10 months for trivial infractions regarding small repairs not made on the home.) Before I found out about their mistake, I had put in a request to have the fines portion of the lien waived, or reduced. The board unanimously declined it and didn't give much of an explanation why. I believe if they do end up getting the 7k from the bogus fines, it will 100% just line their pockets. No actual damages were done, except for maybe the home looking slightly less aesthetically pleasing to passersby...? There are a lot more issues and shady details surrounding this whole ordeal, but I would rather not disclose them publicly. I'm mainly concerned about covering my bases regarding the potential fallout from their lien fudge up. TLDR; I'm executor of an estate and am selling a property that will close next week. HOA intended to put a lien on it, but used the wrong legal description so no lien showed up on the title. Hypothetically, if they realize their mistake before closing would they be able to correct it that quickly? And if not, what recourse, if any, will they have to recover the lien amount? (The time has passed for creditor claims against the estate so they can't go that route). [link] [comments]  |
| Stolen eBook, how do I handle it? Posted: 25 Jan 2020 04:03 AM PST I published a book back in September, and I've recently found that the ebook version was stolen and uploaded, in full, to a website. I downloaded the file and checked it myself (after scanning it for viruses) and sure enough, it is my complete ebook. I've had a lot of BS to deal with this year. I've lost three family members, I'm about to lose another, I've been sick for basically the entire year, and I work ungodly hours for minimum wage (yay, retail). This is the last thing I need to deal with right now, and I'm sure plenty of people would let it go because everyone gets their content stolen at some point, but I feel violated and I'm sick and tired of the universe shoving me down and kicking me nonstop. This book took 10 years of my life to work on. I have never filed a DMCA notice, and these types of sites make it a headache to do so. I've heard that I can get royally screwed in filing a DMCA takedown "incorrectly," so what options do I have here? How does someone who has absolutely no experience with this proceed without hurting themselves in the process? Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm in California. [link] [comments]  |
| Fired for voicing workplace safety concerns. Posted: 25 Jan 2020 07:11 AM PST Location is Texas. I worked in a small printing shop for the last 3 months. There were no fire extinguishers or escape plans. The machinery was extremely old (1970s and older) without any safety guards. One of the machines repeatedly caught FIRE during use when paper would get stuck inside. To fix it, we had to insert a metal prong inside the machine to remove the paper. There were multiple chemicals (ink, IPA, lubricants) left sitting open. There are multiple electrical outlets that are exposed that spark and occasionally trip the breaker. The list goes on. I voiced some of these concerns to employer last Thursday. He fired me without providing any reason yesterday. I am assuming it was in connection to my complaint as he would not provide me any other reason. Do I go to OSHA? Do I report him to the Better Business Bureau? [link] [comments]  |
| Owner of a Bar Posted My Friends Names, D.O.B, and Addresses Online Posted: 25 Jan 2020 06:28 AM PST A few buddies of mine went to a bar at my college. They must have been overly drunk and reckless because the bar owner is now filing a restraining order against them. The question I have results from the fact that the bar owner stated he will do this along with posting the footage to YouTube all in an online Google review. In this review that anyone can see, he posted the full names, date of births and full home addresses of my friends that were there. I'm not saying my friends weren't in the wrong (they obviously were) I just don't see how this is something a bar owner should post about in an online review if he's taking legal action. I'm honestly just curious and any help is appreciated. Thank you Edit: Location is Wisconsin [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jan 2020 01:52 AM PST I got into a non collision accident on my way home from work this morning, so I had an officer respond to file a report for insurance purposes. Surprise surprise he told me he had to arrest me for a failure to appear warrant that was issued in 2009 for a misdemeanor ticket I had gotten in 2007 in another county. I vaguely remember getting the ticket...I was in high school. I'm 30 now, with two small kids and no criminal convictions other than a DUI. (Funny thing, this warrant has never been brought up before when my background has been checked.) I'm making the two hour drive on Monday to set a court date up per the paperwork I signed before I paid $1010 to bond out of jail.. Is this real life? Will a court system realistically try me for a 12 year old misdemeanor possesion/paraphernalia ticket that I barely remember? Do I have any options to try and get it dropped or am I just stuck going through the rigamarole? Edit: Idaho, US [link] [comments]  |
| I'm classified as vaccinated even if I'm not, and I want to make the vaccine Posted: 25 Jan 2020 07:38 AM PST I'm 15M and living in Romania. I don't have the measles vaccine but officially I do have it done, that because of my mother who is a GP, she signed that she vaccinated me even if she didn't (reason at the end of the post). And the thing is I don't want her going to jail or anything like that. So, my question is, how can I get that vaccine shot without getting her arrested, fined or anything like that? Is there any legal way ? Like going to another medic or anything like that ? (Also I don't really want her to know that I took it) What would be an illegal way to do it and if I would get caught what would happen to me? THE REASON Her sister in law (also a GP) told her that she had a kid to vaccinate with the measles shot, and after she vaccinated him, the next day the parents came with the kid (who was completely normal before that day) and he was autistic. I asked my aunt if she had any problems with vaccines and she told me the same story. So because of that she didn't vaccinate either me, nor my brother (7M) with the measles shot.

| Posted: 25 Jan 2020 11:28 AM PST I have lived in my apartment in San Francisco for just over 8 years. I love my apartment and have done everything I can to be a responsible tenant. I always pay my rent on time, I keep communal spaces and equipment that I use clean, I report security incidents, take care of my apartment, the whole shebang. The building I live in is combination live/work, so there are some units with residents, some with businesses (more of the former I believe). The building is not rent controlled because it was built after the cut-off date per SF rental laws. On January 9th, 2020, I was sent an email from our Building Management (who are historically difficult to communicate with) that informed me of the following: "As you know, [my building] is a live/work building under city planning code. With the new year the city is now asking that one tenant in each unit hold a business license in compliance with the live/work code. Please note that we will reimburse you for the $104 minimal filing fee when you provide proof of filing and payment. I was prepared to register, as the note made it sound obligatory, but upon further inspection and some cursory Google searching, I had some questions and concerns.
When I wrote back with questions along the aforementioned lines and asked to see the new SF requirement and additional info, my landlord wrote back a brief email that simply stated it was listed in Section 6 of my lease that I had already signed. A shot of the section she is referring to. She also sent the following: "Fill in the form use your name to apply for it. And put in Sole Proprietorship and Zero gross receipts since you don't have any business. Also for the license start date to use current date (date they are filing application). If back date to the lease date or anything older than 30 days, it may generate additional filing fees." Based on this section, it seems like the regulation applies to Live/Work units that operate a business out of the unit and have a certain portion of the space dedication to the work/business- neither of which apply to me or my unit. I responded to my landlord noting that I don't operate a business or work out of my apartment and asked for more information. I have not heard back. My questions at this point are:
DO I HAVE TO DO THIS? Any help here would be much appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2020 08:09 PM PST I'm a candidate for public office and put up some signs at a restaurant owned by me and my family. This older man has come by twice now and pulled the signs out, throwing some of them into the dumpster. He even said to the employees that he would come back and do it again if we put the signs back, as he was offended by my political affiliation. When he did it again today, the employees took a picture of him and his license plate. I also think he took at least one of the signs with him. They called the police but unfortunately they never showed up. I have this man's name, license plate, and picture. Is the next best move to just go down to the station and implore them to do something about it? This guy is clearly out of his mind and I worry he'll escalate things. [link] [comments]  |
| [NY] Homeowner died after contract signing but before closing Posted: 25 Jan 2020 10:18 AM PST My husband and I were in the process of purchasing a home in NY when the husband homeowner died, the wife is still alive. We were at closing and our attorney discovered then that their deed was "in common" instead of "in tenant" which I guess means that she only actually owns 50% of the house and since her husband did not have a will she cannot sell the house. He has 2 children that are estranged who are due money from this sale since he had no will giving it to his wife. In order to try and close our attorney and the sellers attorney convinced the title insurance to approve the sale by saying they would put the 50% of the money that is in question in an escrow account and the wife could go to probate to sort that out and we could still buy the house that day. The title insurance company approved it but then our mortgage bank would not move forward with that plan. In the end we were not able to close on the house. Our attorney isn't giving us a lot of details and my husband and I feel a bit in the dark about what exactly the issue is. Our impression was that the concerns of the bank would be covered by the title insurance and we would be getting a clean title. We've spoken with our attorney a couple times and still don't feel that clear on exactly what the issue is or what our options are moving forward. Can someone shed some light on this?

| Therapist with a contract issue (Non-solicitation clause) Posted: 25 Jan 2020 10:10 AM PST Hi all, Denver, Colorado here. TIA for any help you can provide. I was a contract therapist for a small practice and was seeing roughly 70 clients. My contract included a non-solicitation clause that states that I may not contact my former clients for two years. Where this becomes a problem is with my profession's Code of Ethics when it comes to patient transition. I could not come to an agreement with the practice owner when it came time for the renewal of my contract, so it was effectively terminated at that moment. I have had a number of my former patients reaching out to me, and I have been referring them back to the practice, which cannot handle them now, due to being understaffed. Aside from that, a number of them have seen me for over a year and do not wish to do business with that practice. What are my options and/or what bases need to be covered if these clients still wish to see me? Clause copypasta below:

| Insurance denied impatient hospital stay because they deemed it “not medically necessary”. Posted: 25 Jan 2020 09:04 AM PST In NYC. I went to urgent care for a kidney infection, with pain and high fever. It was confirmed by urgent care with rapid urine culture, I was sent home with script for antibiotics and was told to go to ER the next day if I did not feel better. I did not feel better in the morning. I called urgent care and was directed to ER. I spent the next 17 hours in ER, with the expectation of not being admitted. I received IV antibiotics, and had lots of tests done. My kidney infection was reconfirmed, but no more threatening condition was identified. I was supposed to be released around 7PM, but due to shift change and miscommunication the decision to release me wasn't completed until 2:30AM, when I was again running a high fever. My attending told me she wasn't comfortable sending me home and admitted me. I was transferred upstairs, to try and get some sleep in a hallway, as there were no rooms available. I was discharged the next day, late afternoon. I was required to inform my insurance of any inpatient hospital admission. I technically knew this, but forgot it in the moment due to the illness, stress of the day, and the fever I was running when admittance was decided. My fault. Insurance is denying coverage for the entire inpatient stay, since nothing worse than an infection was diagnosed. But I was following medical advice. I was told to stay, is that not enough for something to be considered "medically necessary?" Or is that why I'm supposed to inform them, so insurance can argue with doctors against admitting me if doc can't prove it's medically necessary? I expect a giant bill in the mail. Like most people I don't have the money for that. That's why I pay enormous insurance premiums. What should I do now? Am I totally screwed because I didn't inform insurance I was being admitted?

| Posted: 25 Jan 2020 08:25 AM PST So, my niece's ex-husband has been estranged for years then suddenly fought for his parental rights. Now, the kids visit with him monthly. The father likes to jimmy the lock on the bathroom when the 9 year old girl is in there showering and changing. It's very upsetting to the girl and the mother. Father might be paranoid, might be a perv. Either way, we need this to stop. Any ideas? TLDR: Father enters bathroom while 9yo girl changes and it's creeping everyone else out. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jan 2020 01:29 PM PST I'm in Texas and I've been told the idea and makeshift little prototype thingy I use for my baby would be a great thing to actually create. Several mothers have actually asked me to make them for them and my daughter loves it. I have no idea how to start the process, who I could reach out to to help me create an actual product and I don't really have money to just like "shark-tank" it. Any help would be greatly appreciated and patenting my little idea and even on how to start up something. [link] [comments]  |
| Eviction Proceedings with Only 2 Business Days Notice Posted: 25 Jan 2020 09:58 AM PST Hi everyone. I live in Greensboro, North Carolina and reside in a complex owned by a company that owns hundreds of these complexes across the country. When myself and my son moved into our home back in August I was attending school and receiving monthly dispensations from my student loans. I found a job at the end of September, but during that month an individual driving a truck ran into my vehicle in a Walmart parking lot. The insurance adjusters couldn't determine fault so it fell on me to cover my deductible. Now to say that I was on a thin budget is spinning it in a positive light. This beginning for us was just that, a beginning. In October, I was going to be late with my rent and communicated that with the company. I told them how late and exactly when I would be able to settle. They refused to work with me on dates and were rigid with the date they filed paperwork with the courts; the 12th of every month. So in October I was hit with a 5% late fee which included rent, water, sewer, and trash as they were all considered one whole payment. I was also hit with a $250 court fee payable to them regardless of whether or not the case ever went to court. This took everything I made and received to cover and placed me late for the following month of November. This started a cycle that has compounded each following month. I'm essentially covering the previous month, plus late %, plus court costs although I haven't seen the inside of a courtroom once and no eviction has been levied against me. This all leads up to this month. I admit that I am at fault out of my ignorance for the spot I'm in. This being the first time I've returned to school in 17 years I am a little uninformed. Last semester school started on the 6th of September and my first dispensation was released on the 17th, immediately followed by a second on the 24th. Having not been told otherwise I expected the same this semester. That was not the case. The 18th of January rolled around and I began to worry. I had informed the office that I would be receiving my funds, same as last time, on the 17th and I would have the remainder of my past due on the 18th and current due on the 25th. The school was closed so that offered no information. Monday was MLK and they were closed as well. I finally reached financial aid on Tuesday which informed me that this semester they would be holding financial aid until the following 17th; an additional four weeks. Needless to say I lost my shit quickly and loudly. I wasn't informed of this change either at orientation or discussion with my financial aid officer at any time during the previous semester or following break. I was served yesterday with a court summons for this coming Tuesday the 28th. This company is notorious for being inflexible and after talking to neighbors and previous tenants I come to expect no bending. I've asked the financial aid office to provide me with promissory notes for my February payments to possibly help reach some kind of resolution, but they said they can't provide those. I plan on printing a document showing the dates of payment along with a spreadsheet showing the actual dispensation amounts. I also intend to bring proof of the recurring $250 court fees. I also have been promoted to full-time with the company I'm working as of last week which eliminates working two part-time jobs.

| Posted: 25 Jan 2020 12:59 PM PST The title is the long story short. Just me and her were on the lease, month to month. As soon as I said I wanted him to start paying, she took herself off the lease and vacated 30 days after. Left a very sour taste in my mouth. She's telling everybody she left on her own accord, which is fine, I know in my heart I finally stood up for myself and told her to leave with her deadbeat guy. She then said I have to pay her back her half of the security deposit of about $800. If we ended things on good terms I wouldn't mind, but we didn't so I don't want to give her anything. I'd like to tell her something along these lines: "Well if I take 800 divided by the 30 months your boyfriend lived here for free, that's $26 a month, which is obviously more than generous to charge him for staying there for 2.5 years." Shit, I'd kill to live somewhere for $26 a month. Could there be any legal repercussions to me if I denied giving her back that money? Could she sue me over it and win? Is this even a legal issue? Am I in the wrong for wanting to do this? I just don't know what her retaliation options are and I want to make sure I don't get into any legal trouble. Any advice would be wonderful, thank you for you time. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jan 2020 12:45 PM PST I'm in Canada and am employed but I barely have any assets other than my savings and some investments. My wife is from China and all her assets are there as well. She has much more cash than me and property. However, she has no job at the moment. She says we don't need to bother creating one with a lawyer and such. Is it even worth it for me to create one if she feels comfortable not making one but has much more assets than me? [link] [comments]  |
