Thanksgiving: A Time for More than “Talking Turkey”

November 11, 2010Jeffrey A. Cramer Estate Planning, Feeding Tube, Guardianship, Living Will, Persistent Vegetative State

            In 1621, Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast. This is generally acknowledged as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies (although Native American groups are believed to have organized harvest festivals and other celebrations of thanks centuries before the arrival of Europeans). And while days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states in the years that followed, it was not until 1863 that President Lincoln formally proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day, to be held on the last Thursday in November.

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE – DISABILITY PLANNING

November 1, 2010November 1, 2010Jeffrey A. Cramer Estate Planning, Feeding Tube, Guardianship, Living Will, Persistent Vegetative State

          Families that have not done proper Estate Planning often end up in Guardianship Court.  Without proper documents, when a loved one is no longer able to care for himself or herself, someone else must use the court system to become his or her legal Guardian in order to make medical and financial decisions for that incapacitated person.  The Guardianship process itself is public, time-consuming, and expensive, even if matters are uncontested.  However, if the court becomes a stage for a "family feud," both the emotional and financial costs can skyrocket.
