Ignore what that "friend" said, she's wrong.
I don't have anything and I do need to get that in order. I plan to go full on no contact with my brother when my stepfather is gone, so I won't have anyone. I'd want PAWS thrift to get all my possessions, they could send volunteers to get my items. I have plenty of sellable things. Any money or if I do have a mobile home when I die (and not just renting still) I guess I'd want to go to my nieces but I wouldn't be in contact with them so I'm not sure how that would work. And maybe donation to a local animal organization.
