At this company, we are family
several years ago I became an "ultra high net worth individual" (through unexpected events involving a car accident and  an inept (but very large) insurance company, and with the help of my closest family members I/we decided (for legal reasons) what was to be done with my wealth in the event of my death.  Deciding which family members (I have a pretty big family, if I count aunts, uncles, cousins, but only two grandparents left) to whom I would want to leave what amounts of that wealth was very surreal.  Kind of felt like putting monetary values on family, which I guess in a sense it literally was.
