What is the London Bridge Plan?

And who am I?

When friends and family asked me if I would help them with estate planning, I would say no, I’m not that kind of lawyer. I write contracts.

Then, I felt the nagging in the back of my mind. I don’t have an afterlife plan. I don’t even know where to start. I’m a mother to two little children. My sons are my responsibility, and my last wish would be to ensure that they are cared for and loved unconditionally after I’m gone. So why haven’t I done it?

One of my strengths is researching and organizing legal information, so, I am inviting you to join me each month as I manageably plan for my eventual fate, care for my children, and gracefully live in the present. My goal is to breakdown the steps into tasks that can be easily accomplished by anyone in an hour or less each month—straight to the point.

The British monarchy called its detailed plan for the Queen’s last wishes ‘Operation London Bridge.’ In fact, each monarch has a detailed plan for his or her afterlife, all marked with a code word referencing a bridge, fittingly. That is how I choose to think about my plan, building a bridge between two lives—this life and the afterlife.
