Chapter 8 - Arthur Left Claire Another Safeguard

My father’s estate attorney had a sealed memorandum.

Arthur instructed him to release it if anyone challenged the trust’s

separation from my marriage.

The memorandum did not accuse Richard of a crime.

My father was careful.

He documented concerns.

Richard had repeatedly asked Arthur about liquidity.

He had requested introductions to lenders.

He once proposed combining Prescott trust assets with a private

investment vehicle.

Arthur refused.

Then he wrote:

Claire loves generously. Richard receives generously. Those are not the

same trait.

I cried when I read it.

Not because Dad had been right.

Because he had tried to protect me without controlling me.

He left the decision mine.

Even from the grave.
