Trusts Are Private &#8211; Probated Wills Are Public   No matter the value of your estate, it is essential that you plan for what will happen to your assets after your death. A living trust can give you the peace of mind not only that your family will be provided for but also that your wishes will be followed after your death. When done correctly, a living trust can also assure a fast distribution of your assets, avoid unnecessary taxes and keep your wishes private as well. As your living trust will be one of the most important documents drafted in your lifetime, you should be prepared before getting down to the business of writing one. Here are five things you should do before writing a living trust:   1. Make a list of all your assets.   Be sure to include make a list of your assets that includes everything you own. Assets are everything from tangible items like your house, car and jewelry to intangible ones like stocks, bonds and life insurance policies. Having this [...]]]></description>

Search warrant!&#8221; The words that came from the other side of Booker Hudson&#8217;s front door were more than just an unexpected surprise. They were also a test of America&#8217;s Constitutional privacy rights. Hudson&#8217;s evening at home with friends was interrupted by the police loudly announcing their presence. Seconds later, the door opened and in walked police officers who found Hudson amid 23 bags of cocaine and a gun. At his trial, Hudson&#8217;s lawyers successfully suppressed the evidence found that fateful night, on the grounds that it was obtained via an unreasonable search. The case was appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court, which overruled that decision, stating that disallowing the evidence was not an appropriate remedy for violating proper search [...]]]></description>

What is an S-Corporation?  What are the benefits? An S-Corporation starts out as a  C-corporation or LLC.   Choosing S-Corporation taxation avoids traditional &#8220;double-taxation&#8221; for corporations by allowing profits to &#8220;pass-through&#8221; and be reported on  shareholder&#8217;s individual tax returns.  LLCs  can benefit from being taxed as an S-Corporation  by reducing  self-employment taxes on  salaries paid to  the owner(s). Self-employment tax savings In an S-Corporation, only earnings  paid  to an owner as salary is subject to payroll taxes. Any money left in the business for reinvestment or distributed to the shareholder as a dividend is not subject to self-employment tax. Maria is a sole proprietor bringing in sales of $90,000. After she pays her costs &#38; expenses, her profit is $60,000. As a sole proprietor, she is required to pay self- employment tax of 15.3% on this entire $60K of profit, which equates to $9,180.

		<description><![CDATA[by Stephanie Paul with comments by Ron Bartels &#8211; Sponsored by Legalzoom &#38; Jurisdictionary In Real Estate &#8211; Always Do Your Paperwork Make plenty of offers but only if they are right for you financially.    Many real estate investors think that money will make or break a real estate deal. A lack of funds can stop a potential purchaser from bidding on a property. However, it is possible to purchase real estate with no money from the buyer&#8217;s pockets. If the deal is right, the funding can easily fall into place.   Although there are many ways an investor can purchase real estate without handing over a down payment at settlement, it&#8217;s important to understand the pros and cons of each type of agreement before signing on the dotted line. Here are some examples of no-money-down real estate deals:   BORROW THE MONEY Probably the easiest way to purchase a property with no money down is by borrowing the down payment. Either find a lender offering a low interest rate, or use a home equity or other line of credit loan, which will still have the tax benefits of a normal mortgage. You can also borrow from your real [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Monica Sanders Sponsored by Legalzoom The Fourth Amendment Protects Us from Unreasonable Search &#38; Seizure   Criminal Law Answers:     You are driving home after a night out. The evening&#8217;s memories are quickly put to rest by the sight of flashing lights behind you. In a moment, you find yourself responding to the orders of a police officer. You show him your registration, allow him to glance around with his flashlight, even step out. Then he asks that you pop the trunk. You may be wondering if the police officer has the right to ask you to do this and whether you have the right to say no. Well, the answer is: it depends.   The Fourth Amendment Protects Us from Unreasonable Search &#38; Seizure The Fourth Amendment, as it is generally understood, protects you from unreasonable search and seizure. The Supreme Court has looked at a number of cases involving Fourth Amendment rights and warrantless searches. In most instances, the officer can conduct a search if they have probable cause to do so. This is essentially a hunch backed up by reasonable suspicion. There may be something in your behavior, your physical appearance, or the physical appearance [...]]]></description>

All lawyers want easy cases to win and personal injury cases look to same as easy.  WRONG!  WRONG!  WRONG! &#8211; If they were so easy to win, you would not need a lawyer.  The other side usually has specialists.  If they are fighting the case, you need help and not run of the mill help either. Good Trial Lawyers are worth their weight in gold and the field is very difficult.Hiring the right personal injury attorney to represent you is critical and can literally make or break your case. When meeting with an attorney for the first time, there are a lot of questions that need to be asked to decipher if an attorney is a viable fit for your case, and for you personally.

A tenant can also be evicted for violating a rental agreement in other ways, such as having a pet when not allowed, making too much noise, or causing damages to the rental unit.  In some cases, a landlord can even evict a tenant without cause at the end of the lease term. A landlord starts eviction proceedings by giving written notice to the tenant that he or she needs to either move out or remedy the problem that led to the eviction.  In other words, if the tenant doesn&#8217;t pay rent for the month of August, then the landlord can send him a written notice telling him that he has to either pay [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels A trademark is the one of the most important business assets you&#8217;ll ever own. It&#8217;s your name, your logo, or any other symbol that distinguishes your company or products in the marketplace. Business Justice &#8211; Trademark Education &#8211; The How To Process &#8211; Business Identity &#8211; Registered Trademark Registering your trademark prevents others from using your business identity to market their own products, which can confuse your customers and damage your brand. LegalZoom can help you register your trademark in 3 easy steps. First, some must know education about trademarks 1. Introduction to Trademarks A trademark is anything that is used, or intended to be used, to identify the goods of one manufacturer from the goods of others. It is a brand name. Trademarks are important business tools because they allow companies to establish their product&#8217;s reputation without having to worry that an inferior product will diminish their reputation or profit by deceiving the consumer. Trademarks include words, names, symbols and logos. Anything that distinctly identifies your company can be a trademark, provided that it is for goods. A service mark is very similar to a trademark, except that it is used to distinguish services in the stream of commerce. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels Living Wills Are Important Tools &#8211; Speak Now &#8211; Protect The Future   1. Introduction to Living Wills Today, life support systems can keep an individual&#8217;s body alive for years, even if the brain is no longer functioning or the person is in constant pain. As competent adults, we have a constitutional right to make advance decisions as to whether or not we would like to decline life support when it is clear that death is imminent or a state of coma or vegetation becomes permanent. A living will is a document which states whether or not you want to be kept on life support if you become terminally ill or are in a persistent vegetative state. In addition, it addresses other important issues such as tube feeding, artificial hydration and pain medication. A living will is only effective if you are unable to communicate your desires on your own. Just as importantly, a living will can indicate your desire to remain on life support. Whatever your decision, as the Terri Schiavo case has shown, the key is to put your wishes in writing. If you would like to create a legal and binding living will online, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels There is Almost No Person in our Country that Does Not Need These Documents from Time to Time. They can save a fortune in legal dispute expenses later. 1. Introduction to Power of Attorney A power of attorney is a document that lets you nominate someone to make financial and other decisions on your behalf. This appointment can take effect immediately, or it can take effect only if you are unable to make those decisions on your own. For example, if you become mentally incapacitated, or if you are leaving the country for a while, you would be unable to make these important choices for yourself. A power of attorney that continues to be in effect even if you become mentally incapacitated is known as a durable power of attorney. Having a durable power of attorney stops the court from stepping in and taking control of your finances. Without a durable power of attorney, the court would appoint someone to make decisions for you. LegalZoom makes protecting yourself and your finances easy. Simply answer a few quick questions and we will generate a power of attorney specially tailored to your needs and wishes, one that will be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels Why Argue over a Few Hundred over a few Thousand Dollars? Just Smile and Sue Them without an Attorney Most trial lawyers can&#8217;t afford to handle small claims for you.  It costs more to hire them than the case is worth.  Welcome to the real world.  But we have have good news.  You can still sue and win.  Getting paid is sweet revenge.  When you win, most courts also make your defendant pay the court filing fee also.  We suggest collecting on what is rightfully owed to you. Definition of Small Claims Chasing down security deposits and getting paid for money owed are two of the most common reasons people file small claims suits. But apart from a few restrictions, just about any dispute can be taken to small claims court—provided the amount of money requested falls within the maximum allowed by state law. In small claims court, there are no attorneys, juries or special courtroom procedures. Most of the time, the only people involved are you, your opponent and the judge. In recent years many states have increased the maximum amount you can recover. Plus, court judgments have become increasingly simple to collect. If you’ve failed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels Divorce Justice &#8211; Family Justice &#8211; Divorce Education &#8211; What you Need To Know First Try Not To Make Your Divorce Expensive Can you come into agreement one last time with your future ex-spouse?  It will save a lot of heartache and a lot of money that probably should go for bills and the kids, if you have them.  Divorce is never fun but it happens to half of us at least once.  If you do have a bunch of money, then attorneys like you get you fighting about stuff.  Creates more billable hours.  If you don&#8217;t have a bunch of money then many attorneys don&#8217;t want to help you unless they are going to bill out at least $2500.  (10 billable hours @ $250/hr.)  Some will do it for less but it is better to spend your legal dollars negotiating for something that will make you money instead of costing you money. A while back, a friend remarked that anyone thinking that divorce was easy had never been through the process or the expense.  His bill was well up in the 5 figures.  My second divorce cost was $4,100 plus plus plus.  LegalZoom was not available back then.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels Business Justice &#8211; Asset Protection &#8211; Business Formation LLC&#8217;s Have Some Interesting Advantages To Consider Corporations are very formal.  You must keep your filings and your meetings and your memorandums up to date.  Poor record keeping can open a corporation up to invasion.  Corporations protect you from liability created by your business.  Corporations cannot protect you from your own actions.  If you were to lose a $2,000,000 case from hitting a bus load of kids after skidding on ice or a slick street or just having a feinting spell or seizure while at the wheel, this could happen.  All the shares that you own personally could be taken by a ruling of the court.  The plaintiff could then force the sale of your business. There are a couple of ways to mitigate this scenario.  Put your shares of stock into a irrevocable trust or business trust or form an LLC.  So let&#8217;s take a look at the LLC.  LLC&#8217;s have less formality and can be multimember.  The LLC is simpler to operate because state law does not force the three part formal corporate structure upon LLC owners and employees.  NOTE:  The reason why we did not say [...]]]></description>
