In my opinion it is a good idea if you have items that you would like
to keep more safely than they would be in a dresser drawer. Things
like car titles, property deeds, wills, etc. come to mind.

NEVER put a will in the box. It is sealed when the person dies and you
can not get to it for a while. There has to be an officer of the court
(referred to as the tax man eairly) present to list the contents of the
box.


Your attorney should have a copy of your will, unless you were too cheap
to
pay an attorney a couple hundred bucks to draw up your will.


Yeah Joe- that way he can charge your heirs a percentage to probate it
when you cease to be.

Mine said she'll hand it over to whoever I specify and they can take it
anywhere they want to finish things off when I'm gone.

What's the alternative? Your family finds your will, wherever you keep it,
and they duke it out over the details? Have you ever been involved in a
scenario like that? It's really ugly sometimes. If often doesn't matter what
the will says. Families will STILL find ways to turn it into a cluster
fucque.
