Dear
John,
Is there any legal way I can make my children
face up to their responsibilities and show me some attention?

Dear Concerned Mother
Any mention of your will should do the
trick.
Find a worthy cause to champion. Your lawyer
will have a whole book of charitable institutions. My advice is to opt for the
slightly offbeat. My own clients have become very fond of a local Donkey
Sanctuary.
A word
of caution: do not leave your money to your own pet. It is a certain death
sentence. Unless, of course, your pet shows you no attention either.
Use a
codicil, a short addition to a will, in order to write out any particular
offender. Alternatively, announce that you intend to make a new will to shake
up all of your children.
With a
bit of thought, your next Mother’s Day could be a very special occasion indeed.
