Have you written a will yet? My mother made me when I was in second year of university. Probalby had something to do with the 2 major car accidents I was in (cars completely wrote off), both of which weren't my fault, the fact that I nearly drowned in some spring rapids and had decided to take up the perfectly normal hobby of skydiving (though I haven't in awhile, I got too busy and it did cost a bit of money).
So, do you have one? |

I do but apart from my parents and sister being the primary beneficiaries it would be completely out of date - things like firearms, pets, etc., that are no longer of any relevance.
Even the primary beneficiary part would be irrelevant as the only legal beneficiary would be Canada Student Loans. |

Uhh...thanks for reminding me about my impending death, dick.
It is a good question though. And now that I have amassed a little bit of a nestegg from the ESL game, I should get it done.
The next question is, how does one get it done in Korea? Are there internationally viable wills? I imagine there are, but can anyone weigh in with specifics for the gang? |

When are firearms not of relevance?
Please tell me you were kidding. Or at least tell me there is a connection between both your pets and your firearms currently lacking relevance. |

Nope- It's tempting fate.
How many times have you heard someone say? "Well it was a sad thing that Sam had to die- Funnily enough, he'd just written his will a few weeks ago."
Personally, I've heard it a few times.
They always die in freak accidents too. Falling down the stairs, brakes not working on a mountain road, or a stray bullet.
Sad really. |
