Mary Elizabeth "Betsy" Davis was born in Los Angeles, California on June 6, 1975. Her father was Jay Emerson Davis (1940). Her mother was Judith "Judy" Ann Childress (1942-1996). Her sister was Kelly Davis. Betsy mercifully passed away on her own terms surrounded by her loving family and friends in her home in Ojai, California after two days of celebration of her life. "The California multi-media and performance artist Betsy Davis was among the first people to end her life last month under the state’s new doctor-assisted dying law. The 41-year-old, who was diagnosed three years ago with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, planned a two-day party on 23-23 July for her friends and family, who gathered at her home in Ojai, California to say goodbye." "More than 30 guests came from across the country for the event, which included music, pizza and tamales, and a screening of Davis’s favourite film, The Dance of Reality, by the Chilean-French director Alejandro Jodorowsky. “Under her guidance, I’d put sticky notes next to items around the house, explaining their significance,” Davis’s sister Kelly wrote of the experience this week. “She invited everyone to ‘take a Betsy souvenir’ to remember her.” Kelly stated “My sister is an example of exactly what the law intended to do: allow a dying young woman the ability to assert control over the chaos and uncertainty of terminal illness,” Kelly Davis wrote. “She turned death into a reason to celebrate, and she was there to enjoy the party.” Betsy graduated from Art Center College of Design with a Bachelors in Fine Art. She also graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a Masters in Art. Betsy was a recipient of the Scotland Saltire Scholarship, 2011; Getty Center, artist grant: "Movement and the Visual Arts", 2006; Art Center College of Design, award for honors, 1996-2000; and Award for independent study abroad (Milan, Italy), Art Center College of Design, 1999. Betsy was a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, UK 2011, Art Center College, Pasadena, CA 2006, Parson's School of Design, New York City 2005, UCLA School of Fine Art, Los Angeles, CA 2004 and USC School of Fine Art, Los Angeles, CA 2004. Betsy had solo exhibitions at the Bank Gallery, Los Angeles, CA 2004, 2005 and the Haus Gallery, Los Angeles, CA 2003. She had group exhibitions at National Museum of Scotland 2012, InSpace Gallery, Scotland, Craftswoman Gallery, Pasadena, CA, Huffington Post, Conflux Digital Arts Festival, New York, St Cecilia's Convent, New York, Meridian Gallery, California, The Getty Museum, California and many others. Her artist user name was "Queen Of Plastics" which is the name of her artist website. Betsy is predeceased by her mother Judith "Judy" Ann Childress Davis who died of breast cancer in 1996. Betsy is survived by her father Jay and sister Kelly in San Diego.

Mike Gatto's AB 139 passes, real estate may be transferred w/o trust or probate with a one page form - Mary Cummins real estate appraiser

California Assemblyman Mike Gatto is behind the bill AB 139. The bill makes it possible to transfer real estate w/o expensive trust or probably. This one page form can be filled out and filed easily with the county recorder's office.

"The new form, which already is popping up on county websites, is one page. You write down the parcel number and the name of the owner (grantor) and the people who inherit the property and their relationship to the owner. It must be signed by a notary. The law includes provisions to deal with the potential for coercion. For instance, it provides a means to challenge a questionable transfer. The deed can be revoked at any time. Twenty-five other states have similar laws, with few obvious problems arising from them.

The new law “will be of particular benefit to senior citizens whose estate consists primarily – or even exclusively – of the family home,” wrote the Conference of California Bar Associations, in a letter of support last year. “There are thousands of elderly people throughout the state who are barely getting by, but whose home, purchased long ago and paid off, may be worth several hundreds of thousands of dollars. … Existing law offers these individuals no good options.”

Now, they can save thousands of dollars and make it easy on their loved ones. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the defenders of Proposition 13, championed this as one of the most important bills for property owners after that 1978 tax limitation measure.

“I think, rightfully so, most members of the public view Sacramento as a place that just passes into law new restrictions, new bureaucracy, new red tape,” Gatto said, in an interview. “We rarely take steps to make people’s lives easier. So I made it my mission, when I got elected, that I was going to focus on the opposite, which is helping make people’s lives easier.”
