When parents become unable to protect their assets due to infirmity or death, your inheritance is vulnerable. Usernames, passwords, certificates of title, deeds, identification cards, and physical possession is all that stands between your inheritance and cons. Parents plan for incapacity and death by going to an attorney for a will, trust, and power of attorney. While those instruments are useful for managing and transferring assets, they are useless in protecting them against theft. Instead, they create greater vulnerability because they must be carried out by someone else and are easily amended, revoked, and obtained by cons through manipulation and forgery. Cons hide in plain sight while planning strategies to steal your inheritance. They blend well because cons never look like cons. They look like your friends, relatives, and neighbors. They resemble your trusted accountant, investment advisor and minister. They are also perfect strangers. Once they decide to steal an inheritance, cons are relentless. They don't stop until everything is taken. This book brings awareness to inheritance theft. It also reveals six steps to wiping out an entire estate. Becoming familiar with those steps will help you identify cons, detect suspicious behavior, and take preventive action before it's too late.

For forty years, David Sedaris has kept a diary in which he records everything that captures his attention-overheard comments, salacious gossip, soap opera plot twists, secrets confided by total strangers. These observations are the source code for his finest work, and through them he has honed his cunning, surprising sentences. Now, Sedaris shares his private writings with the world. Theft by Finding, the first of two volumes, is the story of how a drug-abusing dropout with a weakness for the International House of Pancakes and a chronic inability to hold down a real job became one of the funniest people on the planet. Written with a sharp eye and ear for the bizarre, the beautiful, and the uncomfortable, and with a generosity of spirit that even a misanthropic sense of humor can't fully disguise, Theft By Finding proves that Sedaris is one of our great modern observers. It's a potent reminder that when you're as perceptive and curious as Sedaris, there's no such thing as a boring day.

For seven decades there has been growing concern regarding whether the fiduciaries are exploiting the Hershey Family Trust for personal gain. There have been investigations, but such investigations are by the same individuals who benefit from maintaining the status quo. Theft by Deception explains what was stolen, the deceptions used, who participated in the theft by deception, and why all post-1945 modifications are void ab initio (and therefore not enforceable). At the end of Theft by Deception some possible means of ending the continuing theft by deception are listed. Theft by Deception also reveals that any potential solution must consider the reality of these key facts:1. The fiduciaries of the Hershey Family Trust (and of the subsidiary trust and foundation) have been participants in the theft by deception (whether knowing or unknowing).2. Pennsylvania officials are participants in the theft by deception (whether knowing or unknowing). The Commonwealth will suffer extraordinary financial implications associated with paying back more than $386,000,000 unconstitutionally removed from the Hersheys' Family & Estate as well as the billions of dollars of damages suffered by the true Beneficiaries. Consequently, Pennsylvania officials are not going to take the remedial actions mandated by law. 3. The lawyers of the Hershey Family Trust Fiduciaries have actively participated and continue to participate in the theft by deception (whether knowing or unknowing). 4. Children in numerous States (including Pennsylvania) are not receiving the benefits to which they are entitled. 5. Numerous Beneficiaries have been denied a range of benefits to which they are entitled over more than seven decades. Such denial of benefits continues.Consequently, it would be pointless to contemplate any reformation which included the Hershey Family Trust Fiduciaries, their lawyers or Pennsylvania officials or politicians. They have been part of the seven decades of theft by deception (whether knowing or unknowing). Theft by Deception lists possible solutions, beginning with the Attorney General of the United States and the U.S. Attorney General's obligation to enforce the Constitution of the United States. Theft by Deception also calls upon the State Attorneys General to protect their children.
