Death's Door is right around the Corner

What is it with death and dying?  I mean, why are people so fixated on life that they're afraid of dying?  Face it, we're all getting older. From the second we pop out the womb, we're getting older.  I was reading an article today about how old people (i.e. people older than me) are constantly clamoring for the latest tip on how to find or manipulate the fountain of youth.

You want to know the secret to a long life?  Eat lots and lots of fiber.  You won't live longer but it will feel like it.  For the rest of you who realize that death and dying are inevitable, might I make a suggestion that will help with the your passing.  Save all your money for your beneficiaries or spend it all before you die.

If you are all for saving your money, then in good company you are because there are millions of ways to invest your hard earned monies and ensure that it goes where you want it to go.  For the saving and giving crowd, might I suggest you take a look at:

• Trusts and Trustees (Thompson Reuters)
• Page on Wills (Lexis)
• California Will Drafting (CEB)
• California Probate Practice (Lexis)
• A (financial) donation to your local law library

On the flip side, if you've decided that work is for the birds and you're ready to spend, spend, spend it all, then might I suggest you take a look at:

• Internet Gaming Law (Liebert Pub)
• Gambling and the Law (Gambling Times, Inc)
• Condominium Law and Practice Forms (Lexis; for those into timeshares)

Yep, time is not your friend.  Whether you're staring down both barrels of mortality or looking up at the sky (whilst sunbathing in Bali), know that your local county law library has pretty much anything you need to help you get to your happily ever after.
