There is a substantial amount of information about post-death processes and legal actions. Here are some of them. I will be updating this to further clarify the things you should know.

We recently took a trip to Wyoming and Montana, and there were no mask rules. They still suggested we maintain a safe distanceRead More →

The elderly, those with memory loss or people who are a little naïve, are getting taken by companies everyday. If you know an elderly person or someone with a memory loss, be watchful of the things that are being told to them by advertisers, scam artists, Internet emails and the like. I have been recently aware of the ease at which those who are for some reason unaware of how the system of insurance, the law, financial institutions work, are taken by people claiming something from them. I have been taking care of my mom who has a condition which causes her memory to fail.Read More →
