Welcome to The Dead Files – a friendly forum for the living (since it is already too late if you are deceased) to discover the truths surrounding estate planning, estate administration and estate litigation!
The Dead Files is a group collaboration of the Wills & Estates practitioners at Barriston LLP. The authors of The Dead Files like to think of ourselves as an intelligent, knowledgeable, and laughable group of individuals who live life to the fullest and enjoy helping others. Members of the blog consist of (in alphabetical order): John Cockburn, George Corn, Jennifer Craddock-Jones, George Craig, Alfred Dick, Barrie Hayes, Tracey Rynard, and myself, Kathryn Whitehead.
Our goal is to share practical and useful information that will help explain the mysteries and hidden forces in the Wills and Estates legal arenas. We will explore and investigate, in a broad sense, such areas as: Primary, Corporate, and International Wills; Trusts, such as Spousal, Family and Henson; Powers of Attorney for Property and Personal Care; Certificates of Appointment for Estate Trustees with and without a Will; Estate Trustee duties and liabilities; Passing of Estate Accounts; Will Challenges; and Dependent’s Relief claims.
We hope you will enjoy The Dead Files and discover strategies to help combat the veiled powers that may impede estate planning efforts.
