maderrI've been sorting a fuckload of files, and scanning, and thank the gods I don't have to put them back together. Most of the time, they're filled with the same old legal crap - complaints, judgements, lis pendens, blah blah blah. But every now and then you get stuff that obviously throws the case off.
Like death certificates. And Last Wills and Testaments.
Those are kinda cool to read, in a really really really morbid kind of way. The wills I mean, not the certificates. Though I do rememeber wondering how much they differ from state to state, county to county.
But mostly I was curious about the wills, where it says something like "I hereby name *insert name* as Executor of my estate, to serve without bond.
And I didn't know what the italicized bit meant, and yes I could look it up, quite easily, but it's always more fun to ask. Normally I'd ask one of the legals, except these days all I do is sit scanning files and singing bits of "In my own little corner, in my own little chair' (except what I'm daydreaming about is definitely not fit for verse *g* maybe prose *snerk*)
This one will was kinda cute, the woman was leaving cookie jars and cutters and like all kinds of jewelry. And she was leaving most of it to daughter in laws, and granddauaghters. Okay, I'm being morbid again >_> But the cookie jars were cute (it sounded like she had quite the collection).
