JT, if they go to all that trouble to get a waiver, why don't they go to the
minimal trouble of running their operation properly, and following some
guidelines of reasonable behavior?

John, have you  ever seen a Doria wavier from the Seeker? The one I have
states " I have been given the opportunity to review this document with
both my family and legal counsel." that is  initialed and notarized long
before you ever get on the boat.

We as humans will die as part of living, one must face the fact that he or
she will someday die. Nothing will change this, that is reality. That is
why we make wills and prepare of families for this event.  Those who do not
accept this fact will surely leave their family in debt and screwed.

Often families want to blame someone else for this poor planning and to
relieve the burden and guilt they feel for not being more involved in the
deceased persons life. Clearly,  Lawyers  have different reasons for
pursuing these cases and justice has nothing to do with it.
