Very interesting read - in the above posts - on end of life decisions - personally I haven't really thought much on the subject before - but maybe I should now - and make some sort of will - since I might be lucky to get another 15 years or so of life - such a short time really -

There is a huge difference between a living well and a living trust. You’re smart enough to know how to do the research and I’m certain that you will understand what I’m saying… A standard will nowadays cost about $1000 and it’s a couple pages of script. I paid the same for about 2 inches of paperwork in my binder for my living trust. I can change anything I want by a stroke of a pen.

My attorney told me to go with a living will. Much lower maintenance. As I understand it with a trust there is no cap on a house where there is with a will. So if you own a multi million dollar home the trust is better. However my house in NOT a multi million dollar home.

With a will and something changes you don't have to do the stroke of a pen with a trust as you say Boo you do. Pay on death is the most important. Personal Id and death certificate is all you need to access and own any account.

I spent about the same $1,000 getting this all set up.

Probably all paranoid after injecting the devil's lettuce into their private parts!

Pesky kids.



They all say hello in our little village here, even the kids. It's some of the older ones who look me up and down and will blatantly turn away so as not to acknowledge me.

I have been told, they don't like hippies round these parts. I wonder if that's the reason.? Maybe I smell?

I;m having a bad day. I broke my toy truck. Lasted longer than it should have according to the wife. Dagnabbit.

That must be it.....I don't look like a hippie.....anymore. O'l farts like me....if they only knew.....ha ha.

The ol big can 350 is running, didn't even get a scratch. That scares me as I always get a cut working on something. Maybe I'm all paid up on this one..... Now to find which injector is plugged and fix it. A nasty job...

Yup, after 60 every day above ground is a good day.....we are all walking time bombs. Any of us could have a heart attack or a stroke at any second.

Dude, have you ever been to Belgium and seen these??

I wanted one for the spare bedroom, but the wife called me an idiot and told me no. I think it'd really tie the room together.

I have been to Belgium on many occasions - but usually only when I was commuting to - and back from my now long closed shop in Amsterdam - from London - and all I saw was a motorway that I was often travelling at speeds of up to 155mph in my old Jaguar - so Belgium would flash by and I would enter from France and exit into Holland - within an hour or so - but I have seen pics of those Belgian bulls before - and they look like they've been juicing (taking steroids) -

Pute, I think there's good reason why they don't like hippies in this village, this happened a few villages over...

Operation Julie - Wikipedia

There have also been a few UFO / alien sightings in the surrounding villages too. One even crashed in the next village apparently. There's a documentary about it.

Thinking you might be a bit over your limit Wallt.

View attachment 19047102

Absolutely not. TINS. There was no limit on hogs and grouper (except for size with the groupers). And you are lookin' at 24 bugs which is under the limit in the Tortugas.

You cannot go over limit on a fargin party boat. The boat guys will not allow it. We never broke a limit in 50 years of diving.

You might want to check, Gypsy, if there is a spousal transfer form for your house or property. Here in the US, in some states, there are forms whereby your spouse will automatically become the sole owner of your house, upon your passing. It is typically recorded. You might want to check into said form for your place and property in the Philippines. She might know. Also, if you have bank accounts, you may want to list her as a beneficiary, if she is not already a joint account holder. Again, upon your passing, she would automatically become the sole account owner.

If your clock is like the older grandfather clocks, maybe give a look - see into and / or open the back and see if something may have dislodged the pendulum. Disrupting that movement might likely cause your clock to stop .

It must be absolutely level every whichaway.

Jeez - that's a big bull oldman - I wonder how heavy that Holstein bull is in that video -

I bet around the 3000lbs +/- size. That's a big bull in the video.
You would have to be very careful around a big animal like that.

I read the largest Holstein-Durham cross was an impressive 5000lbs. worlds record.

Yeah - makes sense - I'd be very surprised if my wife snuffed it before me - since she is 23 years younger than I - and wouldn't want her to have any problems over whatever assets I might have left - when I shuffle off this mortal coil -

By doing so, as you may likely be aware, you avoid probate (court). They are typically not overly efficient, and the process can get messy, if everything isn't stated crystal clear. I always suggest people avoid probate if at all possible.

One fish is over my limit.....now those lobsters.....send them my way....me loves sea spiders.....that is what my son in law calls crabs. lobsters.....I love anything that crawls on the bottom.....would kill for a king crab.

With the normal or nearly normal part?

Not trying to cause any problemsbut would you please make clear your in statement...
is Pute normal or near normal.

The papers are at the lawyers office please go in and sign your witness statement agreement forms. Take a variety of fruit pies into the office with you as pies will encourage the staff to favor your statement over those who brought in liver and onions. You will have to cross the border to the BC Law Office of Oldman & Oldman.

We are all like minded ,some are better lookin than others

If you haven't seen an attorney on the matter.....you should. Laws are different everywhere.

My house is the same.....paid $260,000 for it 30 years ago....worth well over seven figures today. What's even better....we don't pay capitol gains on our primary residence.

 

[cola]

Welp. Here is what the IRS says regarding capital gains on your primary residence:

Topic no. 701, Sale of your home | Internal Revenue Service

Topic No. 701 Sale of Your Home

www.irs.gov

"If you have a capital gain from the sale of your main home, you may qualify to exclude up to $250,000 of that gain from your income, or up to $500,000 of that gain if you file a joint return with your spouse. Publication 523, Selling Your Home provides rules and worksheets. Topic no. 409 covers general capital gain and loss information."
