I live in Los Angeles. I do have a living will. Now, I have furniture and a lot of things I told each child to pick now when I am alive, that way there won't be disagreements later on.
Is this o.k.?
I have an itemized list of each item like let's say silver, couch, or buffet table. Each of my 3 kids picked what they wanted. All my 3 children and I signed the very bottom as an agreement to what would go to who. I also have it notarized. Is this sufficient and will it hold in the court of law in case of a disagreement?

Asking in "family" section as this is common in households and wills.

you are so smart to do this now while they are alive instead of the arguments that occur when someone dies . I had an aunt who passed and she had a beautifull piano and all the distant cousins and everyone wanted it . well my sister asked them what piece they wanted because she was going to cut it up needless to say they stopped calling . I am so glad that you are ironing out all of this now . I wish other ppl would do this could you imagine all the arguments it would cut down on ? good luck and good for you .

It should, but it does not neccessarily mean that it will. Everything should be written in the living will....and I do mean EVERYTHING! If the one appointed over your will does not agree with it, then he/she may change the things that are not in the will and do with it what they like. One of the best things to do would be to give it to them while you are still living....the things you can do without and the things that mean the most to whomever is receiving them. The notarized statement will hold with the police dept., but a judge does not have to abide by it, only the will.
