A Life After Law School

Now that I've slapped the New York Bar Exam on the ass, and I am a real lawyer, Im going to use this blog to demonstrate the humor in life, to get a jump on all the non-law-related things I want out of life, and to prove once and for all that YES, THERE IS A LIFE AFTER LAW SCHOOL!

A Note to People with Money.....

SPEND IT, GIVE IT AWAY, F'ING EAT IT FOR ALL I CARE, but don't leave it for your lawyers to deal with after you're gone, because if you do, a fairy will lose her wings and Talia will cry at work!(my apologies to successful estate attorneys who actually enjoy this miserable crap)

Here are the reasons why you should spend your money before you die:
1.) Your money WILL NOT end up going to the people you name in your will
2.) Your money WILL end up going to lawyers, accountants, appraisers, court costs, and worst of all....THE IRS
3.) Your surviving family members will be bothered for years with phone calls, interrogations, painful reminders of their loss of you, and ridiculous requirements of all surrogate's courts
4.) Dont even think about testamentary trusts with income to all your neighbors for life and remainder to charity! These give poor first year attorneys a migraine, grey hair, and 10 extra lbs due to chocolate consumption!

What you should do:
1.) Live extravagantly during your lifetime.
2.) Give your grandchildren large gifts for every birthday, holliday, etc.
3.) Pre-pay your funeral costs
4.) If you've still got anything left after items # 1-3 give me a call and I'll put your money to good use!

Deep breath........stretch...........ok, enough ranting and back to friggin probating (gag)..........
