Here's Alice in Wonderland wondering whether she should drink the strange potion that could change her life. I can't really say that drinking in the latest (OK, second) issue -- Fall 2024 -- of the How to Laugh at Death and Taxes newsletter will be life-changing.  But give it a whirl because it has a few tips for executors, willmakers, heirs, and beneficiaries that may be helpful.  And there's one article about credit rating agencies that everyone can benefit from.  Enjoy and let me know what topics you'd like to see covered in future issues.  

It's a big big big day in the life of How to Laugh at Death and Taxes - this is first edition of To Heir Is Human, the related newsletter ready for you.  The book is full to the brim with facts and tips, but “the more things change, well, ... the more things change.” This newsletter aims to highlight some of these changes, and other challenges and pitfalls.  Without being legal, accounting, or other advice (go to professional lawyers, accountants, trust and estate professionals (TEPs) or certified executor advisors (CEAs) for that), it will give you insights into what to ask for your particular situation.  Each issue will cover one or more of the book’s sections, as well as other other bits and pieces.
