If you are going to follow the train of thought that is being suggested here then there are some things to be considered also.
Like....
Property ownership.
Children.
Retirement and pensions....
If you are willing to totally revamp you life the go ahead.

Which is why I mentioned inheritance issues need to be worked out ahead of time.Contractual payments like insurance, retirement, etc can be handled by stating beneficiaries, etc.
It all gets messy though if someone files suit, then everyone has to prove everything and a notation in the Family Bible probably doesn't hold as much weight as it used to.
Of course, one could do it like the wealthy do - establish Trusts that manage everything according to by laws declared by the head of the family. That's how nobility rolls.
