Lawyering Up: Week 8, Wed, Period 2

"Change of plans," Nathan said as he passed out that week's handouts. "This week we're covering Estate law. Your estate is your possessions. When you die - which I'm sure many of you felt was coming soon depending on how much you had to drink over Spring Break - this is the branch of law that covers what happens to your things.

"Everyone should have a will," Nathan said, with the confidence of one who came from a family where wills were drawn up as soon as children were old enough to sign their names. "Without one the government gets to decide who gets your things. Not uncommon? The government decides that it's going to keep your things. So you need something that prevents that from happening, even if all you own is your favorite pillow case.

"In your packets is a sample will." Nathan gave them a grin. "Don't worry, it's not legally binding. What I'd like you to do is read through, get the gist of what they're looking for, and then write up a will of your own. If you don't feel like giving out personal information as part of a class assignment, feel free to make up your assets and beneficiaries."

Sam smiled softly, but it was fast. "How about you keep the Impala and stay alive forever?" he said, only slightly joking.

"I will if you will," Dean shot back, not missing a beat.

"Deal," Sam said easily. "Like you'd let me have the Impala. You'd probably haunt my ass from the passenger seat."

"Damn straight. Have to make sure you're taking care of my baby after all."

"Make sure I'm giving her the right gas, and checking the oil..."

"Detailing and waxing her like she deserves."

"More like taking her through the gas station car wash every once in a while," Sam said, somehow managing to keep a straight face.

Dean gave him a look of sheer horror. "Dude, that's so not funny."

"I change the oil every hundred thousand miles, right?" Sam continued. "And any squeaking noises just mean she's a real old car."

"You treat her like that and you're going to need a will after all. Becuase I'll kill you myself."

"I guess you'll just have to stay alive to really make sure the poor Impala never gets mistreated."

"Which was what I said in the first place. No dying allowed."

"We should tell Dad and Zoe that goes for them too. Grace can find out when she's old enough to understand," Sam said.

Dean considered. "Sounds good to me."

Sam laughed. "Me too."

"So should just tell Nathan we don't need to do this assigment since we agreed not to die?"

"I don't think he'd take that as a valid excuse," Sam said. "We should at least try to make stuff up."

Dean made a phase. "It's stupid."

"You think all classwork is stupid," Sam said.

"No I don't," Dean protested. "Hell, I've been studying my ass off at learning Karsite the last couple of days and that's not even for class."

"You're learning Karsite?" Sam asked incredulously. "Like, the language?"

"No, the folk dancing," Dean said sarcastically, then made note to not think or mention that around Altra or he might just end up doing so.

"Wow," Sam said. "And you're just doing it to do it? You don't like, have to to meet some rule?"

"You don't need to sound like it's the most impossible thing you've ever heard of," Dean told him.

"You have to admit, it's not exactly the most every day occurrence," Sam replied.
