fandomhigh | 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."

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Name, in a collapsy sort of fashion.

Listen, talk amongst yourselves, the usual.

Write your own will! Fun times!

If you have any questions or comments for Nathan during the class, here's where they go. Ditto any lawyer jokes you'd like to share.

If you have any questions or comments for Sam during the class, here's where they go (once he pings in).

Nathan's taking his time packing up, in case anyone wants to talk privately.

I really have to do my own... one of these centuries.

Wyatt Halliwell

Wyatt looked down at his will and the space for "spouse's full name" and glanced at Isabel. "So," he said casually, "are you going to be Isabel Evans, Isabel Evans Halliwell, with or without hyphen, or Isabel Halliwell?"

Z Delgado ~~somehow~~

Z floated up to Professor Petrelli. "Excuse me, sir?" she said. "I don't have hands."

Chris Halliwell

Chris looked over the will and wondered if he actually had anything of value to leave to anyone.

Lucas Scott

Annette Hargrove

Isabel Evans

Looking over the will, Annette wondered who she would leave her belongings too.

Tell me about it. It's on the list of things to do.

Isabel grinned. "I didn't realize the engagement was back on."

"Well, a will is supposed to prepare for future possibilities, isn't it?" Wyatt said.

Lana Lang

Lana sat next to him, looking a little down. "Not only do I not have anything of any value," she said, "I don't have anyone to leave it to. Unless you think you'd like all clothes and romance novels."

"You're planning pretty far ahead," she replied. "Not that I'm complaining. Just...wow."

Meg Manning

Meg tried to figure out who would actually want her stuff. She supposed she could leave all her clothes to Jo as a fashion hint from beyond the grave.
