Dying Alone: What Can Happen & The Hermit Millionaire

7. Oh, I have a will.

I recently redid it because of a death in the family. Made some beneficiary changes also.

My biggest personal problem (and it's very first world) is that I have a moderate amount of semi-nice jewelry. Nothing real expensive, but decent, wearable stuff. I have not daughters and won't be having any grandchildren. I've given several pieces to some nieces, which is a start.

Even with a will and no one fighting over anything, it's astonishing how long it takes to settle an uncomplicated estate. I suspect it's a whole lot worse if there are debts that need to be paid but no way to access the money to pay them, even if the money will be there in the end.
