After you rule out someone being crazy or overly selfish, I think […]
One way to make your death easier on your family is to leave a “death letter”, or, a letter of instruction to your family detailing where to find important information such as lawyers, bank accounts, etc.
It’s not a legal document, and, certainly doesn’t replace a will or power of attorney, but, it’s a set of […]
I know I keep talking about Kathy’s dad at Know-It-Alz, but, I just love her stories about him.
He has Alzheimer’s, but, his sense of humor is obviously quite fine.
