Jeff:

You are so right as to how things can change.

I thought I had my informal plan worked out perfectly. I trust my widowed mother 1000% and therefore have put every asset, life insurance, retirement fund, etc. etc. in her name upon my death...to be passed along to my son appropriately during his young years and then the balance when he was out of college. I did not want my son's mom to get her hands on anything. There was always one caveat with my mom: we can't fly on the same plane together since it is a real mess if we both die (not wild about riding in car together but let's be practical and hopefully one of us survives in a violent crash). Now we have plans to go back East and my mom is insistent that we fly together. DAMN IT!!!

To top things off, now my mom is seriously hanging out with some older gentleman and I am fearful that she may marry this guy. I die. She dies. My son gets nothing that I have been busting my tail to accumulate in the last 20 years.

I already have my call in to my attorney.
