1. What you don’t know can hurt you!
What do you know?
What you don’t know can hurt you!

2. Committed to education
NetLaw
Committed to education
We have been hurt by not knowing
We are not a minority, we are everywhere
It is one thing to not know but quite another to not care
Learning is both passive and active
Being wise is a choice
We choose to learn
We choose to teach and learn

3. NetLaw is an investment
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Benjamin Franklin

4. You cannot confidently take people to places you have not been
Belief matters
Confidence shows
Experience is evident
Knowing comes from doing
No family left behind includes yours
A wise household begins with yours
Values have value

5. NetLaw Makes Values Real
My family matters
Protecting those I love is an act of caring
People are more important than things
My actions reflect who I am
“Isness is doesness”
Wisdom prepares for what I know is coming
My head and my heart are alined

6. My will and financial decisions The things that really matter
NetLaw Big Three
My medical documents
My will and financial decisions
The things that really matter

7. What Really Matters
It's never a question of skin pigmentation. It's never a question of just culture or sexual orientation or civilization. It's what kind of human being you're going to choose to be from your mama's womb to the tomb and what kind of legacy will you leave.
Cornel West

8. A statewide requirement Protecting individual rights Free to choose
My Medical Documents
The law in 1992
A statewide requirement
Protecting individual rights
Free to choose
or not choose
Fail to create a legal wall of protection
Family values lost in the moment
Medical teams follow medical procedure

9. A Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare
You Must have…
A Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare
“Who would you like to speak for you if you could not speak for yourself?
This is your agent, advocate, attorney in fact who has all the power to speak for every aspect of your care.

10. “What should they know about your wishes.”
A Living Will
“What should they know about your wishes.”
”If you have not translated your values, your wishes, the core of who you are into some sort of medical plan, unfortunately what I will do is, often times, provide marginal benefit, cause great suffering to you and your family, and, frankly, only postpone your death.”
Dr Angela Davis J.D.M.D.
Harvard medical school

11. A Living will is a Critical Document
Clearly states what care you expect
Clearly states what you do not want
Defines your values and beliefs
It is not a DNR
It is not to be feared
The states are living in the past
The need is universal

12. Most think of this as an estate plan
A Correct Last Will
Most think of this as an estate plan
States your intentions about your assets
All you care to describe
To those you wish to name
Describes guardianships
Specific bequests
Only valid after death.

13. Financial Decisions
“Who would you want to made your financial decisions if you no longer can?” This is your Durable Power of Attorney for Finance. Who do you trust to make every financial decision while you live but may be without capacity?

14. Note This
An executor makes all decisions in accordance with your will and is accountable for those decisions following your death.
A Durable Power of Attorney for Finance speaks for you while you live but have lost capacity.

15. What Really Matters
It's never a question of skin pigmentation. It's never a question of just culture or sexual orientation or civilization. It's what kind of human being you're going to choose to be from your mama's womb to the tomb and what kind of legacy will you leave. Cornel West

16. Gifts beyond your Circle
Institutions need your help
Communities of faith need your help
Agencies in your community need your help
How do you want to be remembered???
You are telling that story every day of your life.
Will it bear repeating? Remember the line from Shakespear- “The evil men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones.”
