Indications are that Hackman passed about a week after Arakawa. The timing of their deaths matters due to the simultaneous death rule. This rule can impact inheritances when spouses die close in time to each other and their plans do not address this scenario. The Uniform Simultaneous Death Act states that if two people die within 120 hours (5 days) of each other, they are treated as both dying before each other. That way, their assets pass to the next-in-line beneficiariesâ not to each otherâand avoid double probate. The law is only a default, meaning that an estate plan can extend the 120 hours. Schedule an appointment to learn more about simultaneous death provisions. From the Attorneyâs Desk by Jason Krautkramer, J.D.

The Medford Area Middle School Band would like to share a big thank you to all of our business/foundation donors as well as individuals who have supported the program via their Mattress or Kwik Trip Card Fundraiser. Individuals and organizations who have donated to the MAMS band program are: Medford Education Association, The Classes of 67-72, Patrick Marsh Foundation, Weather Shield LITE Foundation, Forward Bank, Nathan Bilodeau, AnnMarie Grant, and Purple Mattress. âIf you see people from these organizations, please thank them! We have been able to raise about $8,500 through donations/grants and $7,000 through fundraisers. The generous support of our community has allowed us to purchase: 2 piccolos, 4 clarinets, 4 alto saxophones, 1 tenor saxophone, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, and a bass drum stand,â said middle school band teacher Kendra Junk. âThese instruments are going directly into the hands of the students. The best part of being able to provide new instruments is how excited students get when they receive a new and working instrument,â she said. They consistently have instruments that need to be repaired and are often coming back from repair with a higher repair cost than the value of the instrument. They have several instruments in student hands right now that are functioning enough to work but are not in great shape. If you would like to donate to the MAMS band program, would like to read more about the condition of our instruments, or to see the complete list of donors please visit: https://bit.ly/SupportMAMSBand. âAs always thank you for your support of the MAMS Band Program,â Junk said.
