The Hammersteins' Legacy


What's Your Legacy? I attended a booksigning this weekend. Oscar Hammerstein II's grandson has written a book, THE HAMMERSTEINS, about his family's awesome musical legacy. The book draws heavily upon the family archives, presenting a rich collection of photographs, theatre blueprints, programs and patents. The grandson, Oscar Andrew Hammerstein, has become the family historian, by studying and preserving his family's heritage and their contribution to Ameican culture.

Estate planning helps create and preserve your legacy which could be lost without having a plan. Who will maintain the memorabilia on your family's work? How will it be passed on for the prosperity of your family and maybe of the larger society as in the Hammersteins' situation.

I do believe that more people need to address their own legacy by taking the time to document the journey of their life. It is an exercise of significant worth. Contact us at http://www.ythlaw.com/ for expert estate planning guidance.
