With Paul Fraser

Have you TRULY prepared for your heirs?

Some time ago the spouse said we (you?) need

to gather up all our really important documents so

each is readily handy. Good idea! So started

what became a most interesting journey. Soon

enough the Wills, Powers of Attorney, Birth and

Marriage Certificates, the DD214 (all you

Veterans know that one), Automobile Title, The

Towers Share Certificates, etc. were piled on the

desk ready for the gathering up. So, what next?

The “what was next’ is the reason for this writing.

In our case “next” became THE RED BOOK, a

red 3-ringed binder containing all these really

important documents. Yet, even after this “work”

there was a lingering. Something rational in the

“gathering” process seemed missing. Then

somewhere, either on the internet, TV or other

avenue an attorney was advocating the need for

an “LOI”. That turned out to be a Letter Of

Instruction. Who is to use an LOI and to what

end? Come hear Paul Fraser tell his journey into

his documents gathering mission and what the

heck this LOI thing is all about. Your heirs will

love you all the more for it.

RESURRECTION PROMISE

“Awake! Awake!” The soft breeze said. “You’re but asleep, You are not dead.”

Soft green shoots Peek through the earth.

Birds building nests Prepare for birth.

Tree’s tight blooms Reach toward the sky. “We’ve been asleep

We did not die.”

I see all this And then I know

I will not die But sleep and grow!

- - Esther B. Gates
