I thought about it and, more importantly, I took action. At the beginning of this year, I underwent a total knee replacement surgery on my right knee, which required general anaesthesia. Given my age, I was anxious to get my affairs in order, especially because my eldest son had unexpectedly died a few months earlier from a haemorrhagic brain aneurysm...

No, I do not! Sep 6, 2025

First, I am sorry for your son passing, Maria. Secondly, I do not have kids yet, so I think that it is not necessary to think about that yet.

Yes. All arrangements are in place. Quite a lot of work was involved to get the documentation correct.

The only 'inheritance arrangement' Sep 7, 2025

The only 'inheritance arrangement' that is any of Proz's business is what happens with the Proz account.

THAT might be a topic deserving its own thread.

Anything else goes under NOYFBB.

trying to issue a timely warning? Translators, you are risking imminent death from starvation, get proactive if you care for your loved ones!

I was so saddened to hear about your son!
Please accept my deepest condolences.

Regarding the poll:
I don't have direct heirs and it’s not something I need to do right away, but sometimes making even a simple will can bring peace of mind.

I am deeply saddened to hear about your loss. I found it strange when you only mentioned "both your daughters" in a different post the other day as I thought you also had another child, but was hoping it's nothing.
I am wishing you peace and health, stay strong!!
