As a Certified Financial Planner, many of my clients battle this decision: when is the time right. Unfortunately, your mindset isn’t the only variable in determining if the time is right. When approaching retirement age, you could’ve dotted your I’s and crossed your T’s, but the economy could rear its ugly head and squash your plans. So, I ask again, “Is it a bad time to retire?” When taking a peek at ..read more

What is Probate? By Attorney Truman Scarborough This is the third in a series of articles on probate. When someone dies, assets titled just in the decedent’s name with no beneficiaries are frozen. A Power of Attorney does not help, since it ends when the creator dies. It is similar to an employer – employee relationship, where If an employer goes out of business there are no employees. The process where property is transferred from the decedent to the beneficiaries is called “Probate”. In these articles, we have been looking at the “Formal” probate process for larger estates.

Jeff Wood, First Presbyterian Church of Sebastian WeLoveFirst.org & Facebook.com/welovefirstsebastian     Thirty six times a particular phrase comes up in the New Testament.  Repeats are important.  When Jesus says the repeat, “Verily, verily,”  it’s his way of saying, “Heads up on this.”  So thirty six times means, “Christians, heads up!” What is so repeated you may ask?  What should we have our heads up on?  The phrase is “one another.”  Submit to one another.  Bear one another’s burdens.  Encourage one another.&nbs ..read more

Chris Morse, Corporate Travel / The Travel Center / Senior Travel These are actual complaints received by “thomas cook vacations” from dissatisfied customers: 1. “They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach.
