My office phone rang at 8.21 am this morning. Thinking... it must be my boss checking up on me. Whenever she is away from office, she will ring me as early as 8 am, although we punch in at 8.30 am. But it was my mum informing me that her brother has passed away. His body was cold and stiff when his son went into his room to wake him up. Death was so sudden for him. It should be a peaceful crossover for he has recently changed his will.
When my boss was hospitalized recently as a result of a snatch thief robbery at Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya, members of her family were mobilized. They need not worry, I informed them. All her credit cards and bank accounts have been freezed by us. Yet they were all frantic. They do not know what the extent of her wealth is. Has she made any provisions?
Drawing up a will is so difficult for me. Shall I engaged a lawyer or shall I approach Rockwill. Whom shall I leave "my things" to? One thing is obviously clear. I do not wish to leave it to undesirable people. I rather bequest everything I own to charity or church. My brother will, without doubt, benefit from my departure. But what will happen after he is gone later? Can I include a clause to provide for those who are second-in-line? Will this clause supersedes his will?
This is so hard a decision to make. I know it is not much, why the fuss? But it is still "my things". I want to close my eyes and smile instead of people laughing at me. Guess, I have to go around asking for I/C numbers for a start. How to go about it? Shall I say, hey, I am making a will and I want to include you in it. Give me your I/C.
Life will be so beautiful after that. Everybody will be buttering my bread every minute of my life. They will be sinking their teeth into their lips and be my slaves instead of being their natural selves. On the other hand, this news might burden them and they might feel uncomfortable with me. No I do not want this to happen. I will be so miserable.
The wall between life and death is so very thin. To cross over is so easy. But I am not ready for that journey to the next realm. I like it here.
Now the will, what steps should I take and when should I take that step.
