Mirror Wills

Read a random definition: cost of completion

A quick definition of Mirror Wills:

Mirror wills are wills made by two people, usually married couples, that have almost the same instructions. Each person's will is like a reflection of the other person's will. For example, if one person's will says that everything they own should go to their spouse, the other person's will says the same thing. Mirror wills are not always the same as each other, and each person can change their own will without asking the other person. Other people, like siblings or business partners, can also make mirror wills.

A more thorough explanation:

Mirror wills are wills created by two people that have almost the same provisions. They are usually made by married couples. Each spouse's will "mirrors" the other spouse's will. For example, a married couple's mirror wills may each say that the surviving spouse gets the deceased spouse's entire estate. Mirror wills are not necessarily binding, and each spouse can change their will without asking the other spouse. They are also used by siblings, unmarried partners, or business partners.

  • John and Jane are a married couple. They create mirror wills that say that if one of them dies, the other spouse gets everything. If they both die, their children get everything.
  • Two sisters, Sarah and Emily, create mirror wills that say that if one of them dies, the other sister gets everything. If they both die, their parents get everything.
  • Two business partners, Tom and Jerry, create mirror wills that say that if one of them dies, the other partner gets everything. If they both die, their company gets everything.

These examples illustrate how mirror wills work. In each case, the wills are almost identical, and each person's will mirrors the other person's will. If one person dies, the other person gets everything. If both people die, their assets go to someone else.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer

@snow: healing is super easy it takes like a week to get through the bad part but being in the sun or going in water is a no no so if you get it in the summer that is two weeks at least of no summer fun while winter it doesnt matter

Only dirty people get infections from tattoos, higher chance of an allergy to the ink. Just go to a legit shop

I just don't like the idea of the ink in my lymphnodes. That scares me.
