Legal Talk

After much procrastination I finally got the huge urge to take care of some legal matters that we have been needing to take care of for quite some time. I got Daniel, myself and the kids all set up with life insurance. Daniel and I had a bit of life insurance in other places and some if we were killed in an auto accident but nothing else and certainly nothing that would really be beneficial should one or both of us die. So, we finally are set up with life insurance. The insurance company still needs to have an interview with Daniel and will likely have someone come out to the house to verify our height, weight and vitals as well. I feel so weird to suddenly be taking out life insurance because I am afraid if something does actually happen that it might look suspicious (I watch way too much Dateline).

I also started on our Will as well as our Living Wills and Power of Attorney. This is something we have discussed in great detail in the past but I finally got around to actually making it all official. Even though it is a very necessary thing to do, it is still really hard to think about if Daniel and I were to pass on having someone else raise or children. I do realize how important these decisions are though so I am happy we have finally made our wishes legal.

I think I was starting to really feel like we need to get this stuff done because we just keep having more kids and the thought of the burden that would be left to me if Daniel should pass or the immense burden left to the guardians of our children if we hadn't set this stuff up... I can't even imagine. The moral of this story is mostly to all of my friends/family out there who have not yet set these things up, get on it!!!
