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

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

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.


I just noted that mine says first to pay all just debts and funeral
expenses. Guess they included funeral expenses since they will not
incur until after I die.

I tell people that doctors will not let you die as long as you still
have money.
