You seem to be basically saying the concept of a will should not exist, since it's the wish of the dead rather than that of the living.

- losteric 9y agoThrowaway, the poster literally acknowledged will in their post - they suggested the will's executor should be the legal executor of their online legacy just as they are responsible for the physical estate.
- throwaway613834 9y agoHis statements contradict though. "If the wife wants to friend the dead husband, I don't think it's so important 'what he would have wanted.'" That goes completely against the idea of a will, which is exactly to do what he would have wanted.
- mclehman 9y agoPerhaps they meant to make a distinction between the inherently debatable "what he would have wanted" and "what we actually have a written statement of him wanting"?
- will_brown 9y agoYes the OP mentioned a Will, but misunderstands the purpose of the Will supported by: >If the wife wants to friend the dead husband, I don't think it's so important "what he would have wanted." A Will doesn't mean ignore the husbands wishes in favor of the wife/heirs, it means who ever is executor, wife or not, must comply with what the husband dictates.
- delazeur 9y agoActually, they suggested that the executor's "wishes" should be followed, suggesting a fundamental misunderstanding of what a will is.
