However, I should point out to you that it is not possible for his ex to get a will prepared for him unless he agrees and signs it.

Good luck.<br /><br />LynneLynne Butler, BA LLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790353197833765108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436024129575354145.post-45719950680117690162018-11-05T08:58:55.651-08:002018-11-05T08:58:55.651-08:00In 2002 I moved in with my boyfriend.
