HERBERT HOOVER
|
|
|
Hoover was the 31st president of the United States when during his first year in office the Wall Street crash of 1929 occurred. He was blamed for the resulting collapse of the economy, and his unpopular policies brought an end to a brilliant career in public office. We offer a conformed copy of his 6 page will, which does not contain a signature, and a 2 page Order Fixing Tax, showing the value of his estate.

JIM GARRISON
|
(1)
|
|
|
Garrison is, to date, the only one to hold a trial in relation to the murder of John F. Kennedy. Thus, on the 40th anniversary of that momentous killing we thought it would be fitting to add documents pertaining to the late New Orleans DA. This 13 page file includes Garrison's will (drafted one year before his death, and with a very telling signature), Petition for Probate, an inventory of his estate, and an interesting history of succession regarding his children and wives, and how they all fit together as beneficiaries to his estate.

SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL

JOHN F. KENNEDY
|
(3)
|
|
|
There are those who believe that JFK left no will, but this is not the case. We offer Kennedy's 17 page will (witnessed by his life-long secretary Evelyn Lincoln and his biographer Theodore Sorensen), to which we have added the Texas State death certificate, which shows that an autopsy was performed in Dallas, contrary to fact. Also included is a copy of the receipt from the Texas Coffin Company for the solid bronze casket that held Kennedy's body on the trip back to Washington DC, the ten page autopsy report, and death certificates for Lee Harvey Oswald, and Jack Ruby.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY

|
|
|
Another great find is RFK's last will and testament, which totals 18 pages. To the will we have added 10 pages of financial information pertaining to Kennedy's estate as well as the California death certificate. A great file, very informative. Senator Kennedy's autopsy file appears elsewhere in our catalogue.
