We applaud the U.S. Surgeon General's Office for issuing a first-of-its-kind advisory declaring firearm violence in America as a public health crisis. As the advisory concludes, it will take the collective commitment of the nation to turn the tide on this crisis. A public health approach has the potential to curb the alarming trends of firearm-related injury and death that we see in Colorado and across the country, which have devastating impacts to our physical and mental health. As we continue to champion a public health approach to firearm harm prevention in Colorado, Trailhead is excited to use our program office as a hub for building collaboration across the state and working alongside communities to enact solutions that work best for them. Read the Surgeon General's Advisory on Firearm Violence here: https://ow.ly/G7Yj50SpEuC And learn more about collaborative efforts to define a community-based approach to firearm harm prevention in Colorado: https://lnkd.in/g8pRsZAk

Connecting and empowering the charity legacy community using data, insight, inspiration and information. Producer of Smee & Ford Legacy Giving Awards, Legacy Strategy Summit and Excellence In Legacy Administration.
Interesting article on disputed cases from the winner of two Smee & Ford Legacy Giving Awards!
Comment on the case of Gowing v Ward (2024) - the case of the "forgotten" grandchildren. The importance of contemporaneous evidence. Mr Ward had 3 children. One predeceased him leaving five granddaughters. Mr Ward updated his will to split his estate equally between the two surviving children. No residuary gifts to the five granddaughters. The testator _had_ capacity despite: ❌ early indication of dementia ❌ previously failed a mini-cognitive dementia screen (an abbreviated mental capacity score) ❌ problems communicating - sometimes needing a family member to act as "interpreter". There was: ✅ correspondence of Mr Ward's wishes in a letter from Mr Ward on file ✅ indication of understanding of extent of estate ✅ substitute gifts to grandchildren. Evidence from the time is key. What better evidence is there than certified, encrypted contemporaneous video? Use #capacityvault and do away with uncertainty. #willsandprobate https://lnkd.in/eEndJ7xE
