"Be excellent while you live, be extra ordinary excellent after you die "

Just as this year of 2012 is coming to an end, so will many a good thing and bad things end too.
On this moment of endings, i wish to share a personal thought and a very controversial experience.

Many a wise rich business men/women/ always ensure they make a "will " before they die and also appoint their well trusted friends as "executors of the will".

My question to you is what if the executors have vested interests in the last belongings of the deceased? Think about it, the best wars in the world were started on the noblest intent.

What is the compensation for an executor (friend of family, usually) to NOT have vested outside interests, long after you are gone , ( which means you cannot check on his execution at all) And in case the executors goof up, whose checking all pages of your will? They themselves? 

Appoint your executors internal and external, better still while you are alive, call all your beneficiaries and hand them your benovalence in person, while you are alive, do not wait till the end to start hand outs. 
Start giving out small feelers, teasers to beneficiaries. let them know they are the beneficiary right from the day you write their name in your last will.

To that, lets start a Happy 2013, & end all bad thoughts...Good bye 2012.
