Granted. But if I'm going to do anything at all,
an advance directive/living will would probably
be a much smarter thing to do.
Of course, the one does not preclude the other.
A quick google suggests that if he survives me (more likely than us
dying simultaneously), he'll get everything anyway. If my mother
outlives me and I die intestate, she might be awarded part of
my estate (which is pretty small).
I think it's quite likely I'll outlive him, though. The hardest thing
will be disposing of the contents of his workshop.
