Up for sale is a rare piece of vintage legal ephemera: Immediate Pre-Mortem Checklist by Edward S. Schlesinger, published in 1972.
Distributed directly to law firms over 50 years ago, this specialized pamphlet serves as a practical, step-by-step guide for estate planning attorneys dealing with the sensitive and urgent final affairs of clients facing imminent death. It covers everything from securing asset records and locating safe deposit boxes to managing out-of-state real estate and navigating complex emotional family dynamics.
While the specific tax thresholds and legal statutes inside reflect 1972 regulations, the procedural workflow remains a fascinating historical look at mid-century American probate law practice.
