Now, the son "might" contest the will and fight for a right to part of the house.

A 7 year old misdemeanor possession charge is not a big deal, assuming everything else checks out alright.Applicant must never have plead guilty, plead no contest, received probation, deferred adjudication, court-ordered community supervision, pre-trial diversion, or a have pending charge that has not yet been resolved for a felony of any type nor for a misdemeanor involving violence or sexual misconduct (whether or not resulting in a conviction).

Be prepared to contest them every couple years.

The zanier the better; enter an eating contest, go to the handgun range, get a pedicure, whatever the heck you want that brings you life and breaks that paradigm of an agent, which is being and acting like everybody wants and being instantly available for their every whim.3) I would go to work on dreaming.* What do I want to do with the rest of my life?

There's no contest in my book.
