I guess this would be a situation where there is no proof of death, but it seems like it would be important for the client to realize that this may cause them to come back to a bankrupt estate. <div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

Following the scriptures they would return to earth after its 7 years of trials and tribulations and that he wouldn’t want any presumption of death to distribute all of his assets to the remaining (non-raptured) beneficiaries in that time frame.
<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Wanting to respect the client despite any of my own personal views of his position, I was pondering perhaps including a provision in the POA and in the Will that might require an 8 year waiting period, instead of the 5 year presumption
under 11.80.080, before distributing the estate. (In the event that I am missing and there is no physical proof of my death, I direct my Personal Representative/Attorney-in-fact to wait a period of at least 8 years from the date that I went missing before
administering my estate and distributing it under 11.80.080.)<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thoughts?<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Heather<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Vladimir Script";color:#1F497D" class="">Heather S. de Vrieze</span><b class=""><span style="font-size:16.0pt;color:#1F497D" class=""><br class="">
