That is where the "back office" part of what I'm working on comes into
play.  I'm working to put in place a team/staff that will be able to travel
out to where the collection is and handle the disgorgement for the
surviving spouse or family.  But as I mentioned, this is still a ways
away.  For now, I can offer the trust documents needed to at least put
instructions in place in the event of one's untimely demise.  It's a start.
