Every will I have seen so far contains boiler plate to the effect that

Just a template for a Will? Can be modified based on state laws.

Seems counter-intuitive to me. Why not directives to pay all
lawn-maintenance expenses? All utility bills?... and so-forth.


May not have a lawn service or pool maintenance debt

What is so special about medical expenses - except for the potential for
a feeding frenzy by caregivers plus the huge difference between
insurance/Medicare payments and actual charges?

Seems like a bad idea on the face of it.

What am I missing.

Isn't the Will made to facilitate or limit Probate court in your state
