Came across a new book, "A Checklist for My Family" - it offers a place and guide to gathering your personal and family history, as well as all the essential information about everything else in your life - from bank accounts to passwords and your final wishes. Jointly published by the American Bar Association and AARP, written by Sally Balch Hurme, it looks to be a great addition to people looking to organize their personal affairs.  And organizing our personal affairs is something we all need to do more of!

Hi and welcome to my new blog! For now, I am calling it 'Legal Mutterings' and plan to share an assortment of interesting (or at least what I think are interesting) tidbits, current events, news items, etc that have a legal angle. Items that are helpful and of interest to a more general audience than just those in the legal profession.  If you find something you think should be shared with the world at large, click on the 'Contact Me' form above and pass it along, I'll include it in a future post. Thanks for reading and stop by often!
