Dear Ann Landers,
y husband is in business with his father, his brother, and his brother-in-law. Frequently my husband has bragged to friends that nothing is down on paper and there has never been anything in writing between them. There are no set salaries. Everybody takes what he needs. I'm not complaining, Ann, because we all live well. But I worry 132 that one day this setup will lead to trouble. Last night I asked my husband what would happen if he died suddenly. He said his dad and brothers would always look after us and not to worry. \\/hen I suggested he get something in writing, he re-plied, "It would be an insult to my brothers." Is he right?- Not Secure

Dear Insecure,
When combined, the three most explosive elements known to modern man are (a) money, (b) relatives, (c) nothing down on paper. Not only you, but the other wives, are entitled to a legal document making provisions for the family of a partner who dies. Get together with the other women and insist that your husbands see a lawyer. It probably has been on their minds, too.
