Blog Highlight from Chayet & Danzo, LLC
Why the terms beneficiary and heir are not interchangeable
"It is possible to be a beneficiary of a will, but not an heir. Yet heirs are not always beneficiaries. You do not have to leave your assets to your spouse, child or sibling (your technical 'heirs'). You may want to set aside funds in a pet trust for your dog or make a large gift to a charitable organization ..." - READ MORE

Blog Highlight from The Center for Advance Care Planning
and Fran Myers
Avoiding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation if you don't want it!
"... In today's climate, it is important to have the MOST available to any first responders when the request is DO NOT RESUSCITATE.  If Resuscitation is preferred, there is no real need for an order, as resuscitation is the default action. If someone wants to have a more natural, peaceful passing, sometimes called "Allow Natural Death" (AND), the right thing to check is NO CPR. This selection includes comfort measures such as oxygen, comfortable positioning, and management of pain ..." - READ MORE
