pleasanttopictothink about.Yet,puttingoff yourestateplanscan be risky.Ifyouweretopass awayorbecomeincapacitated withoutdoing anyestateplanning,the resultscouldbecostly foryourlovedones.One possibleconsequence:If you haven’t atleastcreateda basic,simple will, thecourtscoulddecide howtodivideanddistributeyourassets, and theymaydo so in away youwouldn’twant.
• Notupdatingwills and otherdocuments –Draftinga willand other legaldocuments,such as alivingtrust, is an importantstepinyour estateplanning.But youshouldn’tjustcreatethesearrangements and forgetaboutthem. Changesinyourlifeand amongyourlovedones —deaths,divorce,remar-

Notproperlytitling assetsina trust –Depending onyoursituation,youmaybenefit from establishinga livingtrust, whichmay allowyourestateto avoid thetime-consuming and expensiveprocessofprobate. Alivingtrust also helpsgiveyou control overhow,andwhen, you wantyourassetsdistributed. However,youneed toretitleyour assetsin

• Notchoosingthe right executor –Anexecutor carries outyourwishes basedon the instructions you’vegiven in yourwill ortrustdocuments. But fulfillinganexecutor’s duties is notassimple as,say,followinga recipefor abasic meal. Consequently,whileyou might just wanttopicka close familymemberas executor,youneed tobe surethisperson is competent,goodwithdetails andwon’tbeoverwhelmedbythefinancial andlegal issues involved in settling anestate.

Garden Clubscontinue star memorials
Lately on nationalnetworks,referenceshave beenmadeabout Gold Star families.Whatisthe history of theBlue/Gold StarMemorial? The ideastartedin 1944withtwo gardenclub members--Mrs.Lewis M. Hull,president, and Mrs. Vance Hood, roadsidechairman, of the New JerseyCouncilof GardenClubs.Theywere inspired toplant8,000 dogwoodsalongUS22to honormembers of the armedservicesinWorld War II. Thestatelegislaturedesignatedthe5.5mile stretch of highway asthe“BlueStarDrive” inJanuary1945.Nobillboardsweretobe allowed
on the memorial stretch. Theprojectwasnamed forthebluestarinthe serviceflag,whichhung inwindowsofhomesand businessestohonorservicemenandwomen.
In1947,Mrs.Frederick R. Kellogg, president of the NationalGarden Clubs,designed amarker toidentifythehighways. Clubsresponded enthusiastically,withRhode Islandreceivingthefirst endorsement.Afterofficialapprovalofthesite, gardenclubspurchased markersandplanting materials.The highway departmentsplantedand maintainedthearea. Thiswas the firstprogram undertakenbygardenclubs on anational scale.
The Russellville Cultura GardenClub,ofwhich I’m amember,has been anaffiliateofthe National Garden Clubs, Inc.for73years. Originally,the “Blue Star Memorial Highway” began to honorWorld WarII veterans,but it expanded itsmission in 1951to include allmen and womenwho had served,were servingor would servein the armed forcesofthe United States. What doestheblueor gold starsignify? The blue star representsone familymemberserving in the Armed Forces. The blue star iscovered or replacedwith agold star to indicatethat thefamily memberwas killed or diedduringthewaror periodof hostilities.
Anextensionofthe programwasapproved atthe 1981 convention in Atlanta to accommodate asmallerby-waymark-
er tobeplaced in areas likeparks,civicandhistorical grounds, in additiontodedicatedhighways.Thismarkerwas changedat the1994 convention in Connecticut to bemoredescriptive by including thewords “A tributetotheArmed Forcesof America.”A third marker,which was identicaltothe originalBlueStarMemorial Highway Marker,except for theremovalof the word “Highway,”which allowed the marker tobe placed on the groundsof anational cemetery or Veterans Administration Centers.Atthe2004 convention inSt.Louis, the scope of this markerexpanded to include otherappropriatecivic locations. TheBlue/GoldStar Memorialis asmallway to honor thesecourageousmenandwomen who served anddiedfor ourcountry,aswellas theirfamilies,for their personal sacrifice.
On September9,2011,I wasgetting readyfor class in my roomin LaGrange HallattheUniversity of NorthAlabama.
