Choate’s Notes

“Choate’s Notes” is a newsletter with interesting tidbits for professionals, mainly on the subject of estate planning for retirement benefits. It is sent by first class mail only, and as of now is free. (Advertisements are enclosed with the newsletter, so that’s why it’s free.) The publication schedule is extremely irregular.

The first page of each issue discusses resources such as books, courses, websites, etc. of interest to estate planning and investment professionals; as each issue is published, these are transferred to the Resources section of this website.

The second page of each issue contains a short article on an estate planning or retirement benefits planning topic; back issues of this “back page” can be read here.
