Shira and Caleb Accounts

Ok so today was interesting.. I went to the bank finally to set up a memorial fund for the children.. The problem is that memorial funds are short term funds that then get transfered to whoever is the executor of the estate to then be set into accounts for the children. They are highly regulated by the bank and you need a lot of paper and documentation of death and other papers to get them.. Since I am unable to get all those papers I have had to set up 2 savings accounts one for Caleb and one of Shira. Both accounts have me for a guardian of the account and Jonathan as the Power of Attorney for the accounts. So we can get in and dispense the funds to college accounts (529s) and to who the children go to for things they need stuff that would be a little more out of pocket that this would help cover these funds. When the children turn 21 all remaining money goes to them or we can turn them over earlier or close them if the funds are gone.. I know a lot of people want to donate to these funds but since they are savings accounts I can't set up a paypal account to it.. I could have one to my account then transfer the funds and I will do this on the rare occasion if this is the only option for someone.. Otherwise please make checks payable to the children Shira and Caleb Silver and when I deposit them 1/2 will go to Shira's account the other 1/2 to Calebs.. I am trying to find an easier way to do this but I think this may be the only way right now.. So if you would like to make a donation please just send check or cash (if you have to) to me Katrina Klauer at 1801 Fisher St Madison Wi 53713 or give directly to me or to Jonathan and we will get it into the accounts where it needs to go. Thanks in advance and stay in tune for the up to date info on the Photoshoots all proceeds will go to the children's accounts.

  1. Thanks for doing this, Katrina. One correction: I think that the checks should be made out to Shira OR Caleb Silver (not AND)if you want them to be deposited into either account.
