Okay, this entry is unusual, even for me. But we all come to terms with it sooner or later, right? What better way to spare your loved ones added misery than to leave them with something they can financially or physically hold on to? Peter and I have numerous insurances. Since we travel a lot and we both know the risks involved in our ventures like getting into an accident, or catching a deadly virus or bacteria, we opted to invest in some forms of life insurance policies. I forget te details of these policies for now but the bottomline is, if something bad does happen to us, our families are left with a huge amount of money so they can bury us properly, pay off their debt and start anew. But the point of this entry is not entirely on this. You see, our family owns a huge parcel of land in Surigao. 26 hectares to be exact. This is only on my grandfather's side. An equally huge parcel of land is also owned by my dead grandmother (God bless her soul) and my mom and her half-siblings are currently fighting over it in court. I'm wishing this wouldn't happen on the other 26 hectares. My grandfather is still alive but I am worried (so is the rest of our family, aunts and uncle included) that when the time comes, and he hasn't prepared any trust or will, that the same thing will happen again. The entire clan will fight over the land in court and those with the most wealth to pay off court prceedings will win. It can be a bit messy and stressful. I don't want that to happen. So I was searching over the net and found something about San Diego living trusts. A trust is something one creates while still alive which is actually different from a living will. The website will explain this to you in more detail. Now, my only problem for the moment is how to convince my grandfather to make one. I don't wanna seem too greedy and eager. I'm just concerned.
