A day out of the office

flexagonYesterday kind of rocked (if you leave aside the part where I said I'd do half a day of work and really did about two hours). After ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ellenclaire mentioned I maybe shouldn't stretch deeply every day, I skipped three days, but yesterday morning I did my splits (after 6 sets of pistols on each side) and got a full fifteen-count in my left splits. That's a personal record. It didn't even hurt that much! Flexibility, fickle bitch that she is, is playing nice with me right now.
An estate lawyer talked to us who didn't mind answering my questions, and now I know a LOT more about what happens to make someone's will get carried out after they die. Also, I think we are actually going to wind up with wills.
Lastly, I went to a chiropractor who cricked my wrist and my back a little. Then two hours later (was the scheduling of this really terribly wise?) I was doing handstands. My stacking is getting better. I credited my increased focus, but later realized that's wrong: the improvement is from flying hand-to-hands every Tuesday and every Sunday. My body is stacking and stiffening better because now it thinks I'm flying. Duh!

Date: 2012-08-23 02:20 am (UTC)* I learned that you don't have to get permission from someone before naming them executor of your estate -- heck, you don't even have to tell someone you're naming them! And they're still pretty much legally bound to do what you say. Wild.
* I learned that if you leave more money to people than you actually die with, the amounts they get are pro-rated. Percentages are better than absolute dollar amounts, for this reason. Example of both: I leave $100,000 to charity and the rest to you, but then I die with $50,000 to my name... the charity gets it all (at fifty cents on the dollar) and you get nothing.
* Anything that has a listed beneficiary (like 401(k), life insurance) does not go through the will, and neither does anything jointly owned (like my condo). Wills are only for stuff that is solely owned and does not have a beneficiary listed elsewhere.
* When you die, a death certificate gets filed at the Registry of Deeds.
* It's nice to leave some money to your executor; they end up doing a lot of work.
