A quick definition of doctrine of integration of wills:

The doctrine of integration of wills is a legal theory that says that a will can be made up of multiple pages, as long as all the pages are present and the person who made the will intended for all the pages to be part of the same document. This means that each page is considered part of a single will, even if it's not signed or initialed on every page. It's different from the doctrine of incorporation by reference, which is when the contents of a separate writing are considered part of the will, even if the writing itself isn't part of the will.

A more thorough explanation:

The doctrine of integration of wills is a legal theory that explains how multi-page wills are treated as a single document. According to this doctrine, a will does not have to be signed or initialed on every page as long as all pages are present at the same time and the testator intended all of the separate pages to be part of the same will.

For example, in the case of Estate of Thomas J. Twohig, the court held that two or more handwritten documents that do not refer to one another may be admitted to probate when it is clear that the testator intended them to be his will. This means that even if the pages of a will are not physically attached to each other, they can still be considered part of the same document if the testator intended them to be.

It is important to note that the doctrine of integration is different from the doctrine of incorporation by reference. The latter concerns situations where the contents of a separate writing are given effect as terms of the will, even though the separate writing itself is not considered part of the papers constituting the will.

In summary, the doctrine of integration of wills allows multi-page wills to be treated as a single document as long as the testator intended all pages to be part of the same will and all pages are present at the same time.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.

Question, how many of u would sleep on first date
babycat
14:57

babycat
14:57

babycat
14:59

babycat
14:59
it
babycat
15:00
but I don’t use dating apps so all my first dates are with people I’ve already met in some context, which it sounds like is your situation too
Dkk
15:00
I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat
15:01
@Dkk: what if it’s someone you’ve known for a long time but never dated?
Dkk
15:03
Maybe but things would have to go like perfectly. I could not imagine them going perfectly.
15:04
Sleeping on the first date just isn't my style, idk. I take things painfully slowly and much prefer to befriend and really get to know a girl first before doing any of that
Ok another question, what do u tell the ppl u sleeping with already that ur going on dates
Dkk
15:05
The bigger issue is if I sleep with them will I have the emotional connection to finish cus it is harder for me to finish if I do not know the person.
