[quote=mp7444]By the way, I did some searching on http://www.sdtreastax.com/ site (just to experiment :P), and found some address and it shows as “FAMILY XXX TRUST”, instead of last name and first name. How do they get that?

Thanks.[/quote]

A living trust is a vehicle to handle wills/estate issues. Basically assets are owned by the trust (including real estate if you choose) and then the owners “own” the trust – and therefore the assets. The idea is that you transfer the large assets (investments that are outside a 401k, homes, etc) into the trust.

A trust does not go through probate.

The trust outlines who inherits the trust by laying out beneficiaries of the trust. In that respect it acts similar to a will – but only addresses the assets held in the name of the trust… so it doesn’t say who’s going to inherit Aunt Hattie’s china. (because Aunt Hattie’s china isn’t titled in the name of the trust.) That needs to be outlined in a separate will.

[quote=jpinpb]I thought my DH had no fear. Braved so many dangerous situations. But wave a bee at him and he runs like a scared puppy.

Good info, UCGal. Thanks.

Upcoming project, remove oleanders. (who puts freeway plants in their yard anyway?)[/quote]
Oleanders used to be more common in yards than freeways. A very hardy, abuse resistant, flowering bush… Because they’re so hardy, they became popular for the freeway.

Growing up around here they were common in the yards of friends in UC and Clairemont.

Not to quibble – but I think you are mistaking “want” and “need”.

It seems unlikely they would pay for an upgraded unit – since stainless commands a premium… it’s an upgrade.

It would be like trying to talk your car insurance company into replacing your toyota corolla with a lexus.

better take Haley Barbour off the list. He announced he’s NOT running.

(I guess he realized that an old white dude from the south, with a history of making remarks that some would consider racist, running against a young black dude… presented less than wonderful optics.)
