When couples discover conflicting values while writing their wills

My husband and I finally sat down to write our wills and it turns out we have completely different ideas about what should happen to our money if we both die - he wants everything to go to his brother's kids and I assumed we'd split it between both sides of the family, and now we're realizing we've never actually talked about what we think we owe to whom.

The deeper question

Creating a will is forcing a reckoning with unspoken assumptions about loyalty, obligation, and what constitutes family.

Concept: competing loyalties
