TESTAMENTARY DISPOSITION

What is a Testamentary Disposition or a TD?
It is a Will for your Shee Atiká shares and directs Shee Atiká on who you want your shares to go to upon your death.

Why is it Important to Complete a TD?
Without a Will or a TD, under most circumstances Alaska State Law will dictate who gets your shares upon your death.

Make your wishes known by completing your TD!  The Testamentary Disposition is only one page.  It can be found on our website at www.sheeatika.com under Forms or you can contact the office and we can mail you a form or email you a form.  The Form must be signed in front of a Notary Public to be valid.

Contact us to be sure yours is up-to-date.
