I love my mother and father and I certainly have no plans to eat them, this side of an apocalypse. I want to get that out of the way right from the off. I am glad they are alive and I hope they live long and prosper. However, life has been a little tough recently, financially speaking, and whenever an issue arises, or stress at work takes its toll, I run through various scenarios that could potentially, hypothetically, lighten the load. I hate to say it, but increasingly close to top of the list is a once blurry notion which is gaining an ever increasing clarity: inheritance.
