Life,or I should say death, is more simple with a will. I would have
wished the previous owner of my late cat had made one. She didn't,
she didn't have anyone so the government moved in and the Public
Trustee was going to 'exterminate' the cat in the unit. The super
begged me to take her and I did. However we both raged over the fact
she could have left her money and condo to the cat shelter! The
government cleaned up nearly $300,00 altogether
