Estate Planning for Wizards
« on: Yesterday at 03:35:05 PM »
What happens when a wizard dies--other than the obvious. I was thinking about this on the way home from work. Mostly with regards to Eb and Harry. Will Harry inherit Eb's estate? Will he have Hog Hollow as his home away from home? What magical goodies will Eb leave Harry?

A reread of Death Masks got me thinking. Eb offers to let Harry hang out at the farm until the Paolo Ortega stuff blew over, but Harry declines and accepts the duel. He tells Eb that there's some stuff in his basement and he'd know how to find it. (Presumably Bob)

Just made me think about estate planning for wizards and whatnot like that.

Thoughts and musings?

In Chapter 14, Peabody has Eb sign paperwork regarding LaFortier's estate, quoted below. Holdings could include real estate, but I'm thinking it's his financial investments in the White Council. I believe it's in Changes that Harry mentions the financial power that the White Council has.

And the last one is approval for ensuring Wizard LaFortier’s holdings are transferred to his heirs.
