Check out this commonly held misconception about wills, and why it is just not true…” If my spouse and I die while our children are young, their grandparents or our other relatives will raise them”………..Not so !….A Will is the only legally valid document by which you can name a guardian to raise your minor children. Without a Will, your minor children become wards of the state until the court approves a guardian, which could be a long time if no one suitable steps forward, or if too many people want to raise them…Now you know… Mark Greene & Associates, attorneys & family counselors of Hanover… [email protected]

It was of course twenty two years ago today, September 11, 2001 Phones rang across the United States and the rest of the world on this day in 2001, “Turn on the TV!” It was 8:48 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. A passenger jet had just crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Flames and smoke billowed from the tower. It was now 9:06. This was no accident. Another plane just hit the World Trade Center’s South Tower. New York was under attack and this was real. Terrorists had struck on U.S. soil. Air traffic to and from U.S. airports was halted. The horror was being played over and over on every TV channel and on every American’s face. It wouldn’t go away and neither would the tears and the fears. What we witnessed would forever change our lives, our country and the rest of the world. 19 Islamic religious fanatics of Middle Eastern descent wanted to destroy what Americans stand for. They died in vain. But, the people they murdered did not. Americans are now prouder, more committed to stand together; determined not to let any country, religion, or people steal our freedoms. Americans will fight for the inalienable right to live in our democracy.....Hang tough Americans ... we are all in this together..

On this day : July 31, 1974 - One of the President Nixon’s main men, John Ehrlichman was sentenced to prison for his role in the break-in at the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist. Ellsberg was the Pentagon consultant who leaked the "Pentagon Papers" (which purportedly told Americans how and why the U.S. really got into the Vietnam War). Ehrlichman also created the White House unit that was called the ‘plumbers’ because it was intended to plug leaks….no you weren’t a crook Dick.....As my Dad used to say, " there is nothing new in the world, it only happens to different people"..Right again Dad...

I have read over and over again that one of the biggest fears that older Americans have today is the fear of having their life savings wiped out if they end up in a nursing home
