It Will Happen

My attorney called the other day. He wanted to know what would be a good day to schedule Bill's depo.

"Do we really have to do this? What will we accomplish by it?"

"I want him to make an accounting of his expenses. I want to know what kind of debt he has incurred. And I'm going to ask for a copy of his new will and the changes he made to the trust."

"Let's don't forget about the lien he and his attorney put on the house."

Shoot! Just when I thought I could cancel this thing, he shoots the silver bullet. It is the perfect solution to the 'will dilemna' we've been having. The production makes it mandatory. It will be a big topic of conversation, no doubt. I hope we can make it a deal-breaker for a settlement. I will, as a mother, do what I have to, in order to ensure that my daughter becomes his beneficiary to spare her the pain of being told by her father upon his death he did not want to provide for her. He never provided for her in life; he needs to in death. I won't agree to a settlement, I'll drag my feet, until he rewrites. And I know that will be unacceptable to him because he wants a settlement before summer. He wants to buy a house out in the desert with the cash I give him. If I make that settlement contingent on his change of the will, then he'll be motivated to do it.
