Lane von Herzen: Will Documentation

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Will Documentation

OIG Hotline, I will be witnessing and notarizing my Will tomorrow morning in Whistler, BC.

Because I am not categorized as a temporary resident in Canada, and because my assets are within the United States exclusively, I will be ensuring that my Will meets California legal standards for execution, in addition to British Columbia, Canada requirements. The witnesses will also be signing Affidavits of Execution, in order to avoid being called to testify to their witnessing within the United States.

The Will's intent is to protect the lives and health of my loved ones and myself, alongside ensuring that the long term human rights of Americans are prioritized and substantively advanced by my case. I hope it will have this effect.

I will be publishing my Will online in order to guarantee that its content is publicly available at this time.

Thank you for allowing me to extend this documentation to your Office.

Most sincerely,
