If you are single or divorced, and have no relatives close by, it is important that you designate someone to claim and dispose of your remains upon your death. State law only permits blood relatives to claim a body and arrange for burial. Step-parents are not considered “blood” relatives even if you have raised someone from a very young age. Include an appointment as part of your estate plan today if you find yourself in this situation. January 17, 2022
