Four Pages Found in a Couch Are Ruled Aretha Franklin’s True Will.
In deciding a family dispute over her estate, a jury in Michigan ruled that a handwritten document found in a couch at Franklin’s home after her death represented her last wishes.

If you do not have a Life Will and zero heirs, State probate has title to all your stuff when you die. Even if you have heirs, State Probate can refuse to honor the heirs by holding the estate on a tax question for decades. They wait the heirs out, maybe they die. State gets all the estate. Generations of wealth transferred.

Don't forget to include your #web3 assets in your estate planning.
I spoke on this very topic last week at NYU at an event created by @nysba.

According to my mom's lawyer, we do NOT have to go through the probate system as she didn't have enough assets to qualify for it.
Which, frankly, was totally by design. Between my mom and the lawyer, they set things up sweet.
That's going to make everything so much easier than I was afraid. *happy dance*

And we clarified time zones!
Here's hoping that we can get things legalized and moving and all that before my flight to Montana on the 17th.
One week, cuts it close but I've got my fingers crossed.

50 followers · 754 posts · Server wandering.shopTFW you've been complaining that there should be a book all about probate because of course there should and then BookBub serves you an add for the exact book you're looking for!
With "Owned" significantly flagged on the top of it.
...
Yeah. I'm... reading the probate book I've been begging for that was in my TBR pile for oh, a couple of years now. Ahem. Right.

50 followers · 754 posts · Server wandering.shopMy mom's ashes are now home with me. So is her death certificate.
10 copies of it, because I believe in having extra.
That means I may, possibly, have all my ducks in a row to actually start getting this probate thing sorted out.
Even better, I have a lead on a home for Georgie. And an appointment with my mom's lawyer tomorrow so that the court can be notified.
To think I thought today was going to be a holding pattern.

50 followers · 722 posts · Server wandering.shopWhy is every single thing so damned hard to accomplish?
Donate unused walker and shower chair? Nope, can't actually talk to a person to do that.
Get the updated will? Nope, need to confirm my ID and that'll take days.
Death certificate? At least a week, maybe two.
Close out her apartment? Nope, not until you've inventoried everything and don't you dare spend any of her money even though you're on the account.
God, this is... deeply frustrating. #grief #probate #SoTired

Back at work this week!
I will be giving a #learning and #teaching seminar next week (11th January 2023) through the University of Suffolk on #creativity #engagement and #technology in the classroom, titled 'Minions and the Makers Movement - Making Complex Learning More Accessible'.
I will be explaining how I have used #3DPrinting and other creative arts to increase understanding of complex areas of the #law - in areas such as #IP, #Trusts and #Wills and #Probate. Come along to hear about the advantages this new tech brings - and how badly I draw things on a whiteboard!

Chris, Many thanks for another informative summary of where #Brexit has brought us to.
Another example of #BrokenBritain that I have experienced, but not seen covered in the media, is the #Probate Service.
