• November 20, 2009 - The Impact Of A More Personalized Christmas Gift
Christmas is in the air and the long holiday season is leading everyone to the shopping malls for their Christmas gifts. With perhaps a million Christmas gift ideals to choose from, it is best to make plans before going on a shopping spree. We’re sure you do not want to overspend on a particular gift item more than the others that are equally just as valuable a gift for Christmas for those you plan to give them to.
There are unusual Christmas gift ideas, unique ones, gifts for him and for her, as well as personalized Christmas gifts. The last requires some knowledge of a person, his habits, as well as his taste and preference, like color and gender-sensitive design. Gender-sensitive personalized Christmas gifts have grown in demand since. They are inexpensive, unique yet they are usually out of the ordinary, remade and customized by adding a personal touch like the person’s name engraved or printed on it over a custom design of the logo of his favorite association or anything he is particularly fond of. Objects that have commonly been customized for personalized Christmas gifts include coffee mugs, watches, jewelry, portraits, framed photos, pens, and bags.
Most men are not particularly choosy about neutrally gendered objects but are gender-sensitive about clothing apparels like belts, shoes, pants, jackets, and many more. Women, on the other hand can be particular about belts, shoes, but are generally neutral about pants. It is a good guide for your choice of personalized Christmas gifts.
Old newspapers can also make a unique gift idea when you want to give someone something different. The personalized archive newspaper is the perfect gift to commemorate the event or date the person was born. You can actually have a reprint of his or her favorite newspaper 25 years ago or 1985 when word processors came into use by printing presses and a digital copy can be reprinted. A scanner may also repeat the process as long as the original copy of the newspaper is available. How about that for a personalized Christmas gift!
Some haberdashers will sew a customized jersey of his favorite football team with his name and the number of his favorite player on it. He can wear it the next year’s football match and root for his favorite team. Absolutely the perfect personalized Christmas gift for the die-hard football fan. You can do the same to his favorite cricket team, too.
You’ll never run out of personalized Christmas gift ideas with today’s digital technology which has revolutionized not only printing but everything from painting to cooking. Merry Christmas!

• August 7, 2009 - How Crucial Is Long Term care Planning?
Long term care planning is often neglected. Yet it is a crucial part of life that needs attention if you are going to live long into your old age.
Most people these days make a will. A will is there to ensure that your final wishes are carried out after you are gone; that your worldly goods are distributed in the way that you wanted, and that your family does not have to worry about these things or guess what you might have wanted.
However, what happens if you become incapable? Alzheimer's or dementia can happen to any of us and without taking precautions for our long term care we risk the problems of our family having to deal with this if we unable to do so.
If you consider living to a ripe old age and enjoying a care free life without the worry of what will happen to me? Long term care planning is something you need to take care of. Whether we admit it or not, changes in whatever aspects of life are consistently finding their way to the forefront. Some changes for good, some for bad, and it is for the worse that we are motivated to plan the future wisely.
Many of us have thought that long term care planning is only for those who have money or substantial assets, or for those who are presently capable of affording legal advisers. Little did they know that it is for the benefit of everybody. You do not have to spend fortunes to make these preparations. All you need is to identify your needs, what you prefer, outline what you imagine your future will be, and search for a credible yet affordable solution.
Nobody knows what lays ahead the finish line of our life’s journey. What we know of is that, we all grow old, live guessing what the future may hold, and die as we are told. For the mere fact that we have uncertainties along the process of sustenance, we need to plan ahead and be bold to set things as you want them to be, whatever kind of future you want or will end up living. Long term care planning has probably never been an issue but now is the time to think about it and plan ahead, while you still can. You really need to do it.
Man’s daily survival and struggle can be lessened in many ways. It has become now a choice whether you want to live your life for the better or maybe chooses to let things just happen as they come. Crucial long term care planning does not only provide significant change on an individual, rather, it helps your family at a time when they really need it. The responsibility of looking after yourself and your own needs and maybe those of your family is upon you. So it is important to plan today for what tomorrow might bring however, much you hate the idea of considering these things. You really should take the time to do it, for the sake of tomorrow.
What should you do then to ensure that when you have reached your retirement, you can still look forward to a pleasant and enjoyable life? To live with dignity and sense of fulfillment safe in the knowledge that all corners have been covered? Wouldn’t you be grateful for your action today that would lead to a 20 years into the future and more? The risk of negligence for long term care planning is getting higher and higher as we live longer and it is our families or friends that have to pay the price of our lack of actions now. We should take responsibility. Your future can be planned accordingly and properly as long as you recognize its importance to you and your loved ones too.
So sit down today and decide how you want to end your days and relax and enjoy the rest of your life, safe in the knowledge that whatever the eventuality you will be looked after the way you want to be.
• July 28, 2009 - An Inheritance Tax Guide to Saving While Paying It
When someone dies and leaves an estate with a value over the threshold (£325,000 in 2009-10), his administrator pays inheritance tax. The money generally comes from the deceased person’s estate and the tax must be paid within six months of the deceased’s death and before the grant of probate (or confirmation in Scotland) can be issued. More often, the executor has to pay it from other funds until the estate’s assets are sold. He may later be reimbursed from the estate before it is distributed among the beneficiaries. This inheritance tax guide is based on HM Revenue and Customs bulletins.
The first recommendation in the inheritance tax guide is to make a lump sum payment in advance; HM Revenue and Customs will not charge interest unless the amount paid is less than the eventual amount due, but only on the balance outstanding. Any overpayment will be refunded and interest paid on the amount at the same rate it charges interest on payments received after the ‘due date’. This is one of the most followed inheritance tax guide since it will be difficult to work out how much tax is due before the deadline and you might have to pay interest.
Another inheritance tax guide is that if inheritance tax is due, you have 12 months from the end of the month in which the death occurred to send in a full inheritance tax account, including Form IHT400 and supplementary pages and papers relating to probate; otherwise, you may have to pay interest plus penalty.
As part of the probate process, the inheritance tax guide instruction is to fill out an inheritance tax form in addition to the PA1 Probate Application form, even if the estate does not owe inheritance tax. The forms you need depend on where the deceased lived: England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland or abroad; the size of the estate and whether it is an ‘excepted estate’ (i.e. you do not need to fill out a full inheritance tax account - Form IHT400). The inheritance tax guide says that usually, if an estate does not need to pay the tax, it will be an excepted estate. However, some estates that do not owe this tax still have to return a full inheritance tax account.
If you are not sure whether the estate is an excepted estate, the inheritance tax guide tells you to start filling in a Return of Estate Information form to find out (Form IHT205 in England and Wales). Depending on your answers to certain questions, the form will make clear when you should stop filling out that form and switch to Form IHT400 (a full inheritance tax account) instead.
The inheritance tax guide also directs you that before paying the tax you will need to apply for an inheritance tax reference number before you send in Form IHT400 ‘Inheritance Tax Account’ or pay any tax.

Many of us think that when someone had written his or her Will even not authenticated by a lawyer will be valid when he or she dies. Some would think that yes, it could be valid because in the first place, it’s his or her Will and that is his or her estate concerned. Wrong! Even the Will was written personally by the deceased owner of the wealth, for the fact that it wasn’t legally handled or lawfully laid out, the Will can be contested by probable heirs.
Let’s take this as an example: Mr. Sam died a year ago of lung cancer which made him suffered for about 5 years before he passed away. For 27 years, Mr. Sam was happily married to Mrs. Sam with whom he got 2 sons. Unfortunately due to his smoking habit, he developed lung cancer which burdened everyone in the family. The once happy family became chaotic and despite Mr. Sam’s illness, he got all the blaming from both his wife and children. Little did his wife nor his sons knew that he was able to saved fortune from his ex-dealings. The tragic condition made Mr. Sam to write his own will on a piece of paper, stating his intention not to leave any wealth for his wife nor his sons.
Time came when Mr. Sam finally died, ended his sufferings from the ridicules coming from his beloved wife and equally loved children who turned their backs from him when he needed them most. Of course families, relatives and friends came to grieve and not to mention his colleagues and business partners and of course the bank representative. The family of Mr. Sam didn’t know about his secret assets until it was blurted out by the bank. He left about a million worth of savings from the interest rates he invested. While the bank representative was yet explaining to the bereaved wife and children, Mr. Sam’s best friend came over to hand them the letter Mr. Sam wrote before he died. To the wife’s surprise, Mr. Sam clearly stated that nothing must be inherited to his wife nor his sons because of the following reasons:
- they hated me because I was sick.
- my wife doesn’t love me anymore nor does my two sons.
- my family made me miserable more than the cancer I suffered.
- they don’t deserve any of my hard-earned wealth.
- and many other reasons which are based on Mr. Sam’s emotion.
The bank representative took the letter and eventually have it checked by their legal advisers.
Last week, the bank came to visit Mrs. Sam and handed her the envelope, enclosed is the result of their contest to the inheritance. With eyes widen and smile reaching her ears, she’ll be sharing the wealth with her two children.
The above scenario only indicate the importance of proper legal consultation when making a Will.

• April 20, 2009 - Wills and Intestacy - Things to Consider
No one wants to consider the possibility of their own demise, the inevitability of life. The hard truth is everyone dies and just about everyone leaves loved ones behind. Even if you have no significant estate to leave to your family you should consider the use of a financial advisor and a solicitor to draw up a will. A will is not only something that sees the division of what worldly possessions you leave. Wills serve a number of purposes. They determine how you want your remains taken care off. They list all your final wishes.
More importantly is the fact that if you die without a will your estate falls under the intestacy laws. This means that the courts decide the division of the estate despite what your wishes may be. The laws which govern wills and intestacy are fairly strict when it comes to the percentages and who gets what and in what order. The Laws of Intestacy do not cover if you were estranged from certain family members for instance. This is why it is important to have wills and intestacy handled by professionals.
Another thing to consider is the fact that wills should not be in any way done on your own. It is important to have a solicitor handle the creation of your will in order to ensure that everything is laid out properly and within the law. Otherwise you may end up with a will that is meaningless and an estate that falls under Intestacy.
The law of Intestacy replaced the rules of succession and are involved in forced heirship rights. Usually this is the legal next of kin if there is no designed or no legal next of kin in these cases the estate with escheat to the government. In other words, the government could claim the rights to the entire estate. In order to prevent this from happening and to make sure that your will is not contested between your heirs you need to have wills and intestacy documents drawn up and these issues covered so that you can have the peace of mind to know that your estate will be divided according to your wishes and that your final wishes are carried out in an appropriate manner.
There are also matters of inheritance tax to consider when placing a will together this is why it is important to have someone with knowledge of the regulations and legislation handle the paper work. Some people may want to save money by doing it themselves but unless you have intimate knowledge of legal procedures it is best if you avoid doing this especially with estates of any significant value.
Handling wills and Intestacy are not just for when you are gone from the world. You may also find that you need assistance in carrying out your wishes when it comes to serious illness. If you fall prey to a serious illness which prevents you from being able to handle your own affairs and make decisions on your own who will look after you? Who will handle your estate and ensure that you and your family are taken care of? This is what a will can do even if you have not passed away.
A will can also determine who is responsible for the distribution of the estate and any trusts that you may have. While it is common to have separate trust fun agreements it is not uncommon for these agreements to be included in the will. This is why you should have a financial advisor who is familiar with the handling of taxes and distributions of funds to help you to set up the financial aspects of your will. Once you have done this it is easy to obtain the services of a solicitor that can provide you with the legal documentation necessary to back up your wishes.
Having a will and dealing with your final affairs is life house keeping. You would not leave your house a mess and you should not leave your financial affairs and the future of your estate a mess either. Take the time to consider every aspect of your estate when these assets can be released from your estate as well as who will handle affairs if you become unable to handle them yourself or for after you pass away. Also make sure to have a solicitor review, revise or write up your will in order to ensure that it is clear and concise.

• April 20, 2009 - Equity Release - Considerations
When looking into equity release it is essential that you seek the advice of a specialist such as a financial advisor. A financial advisor will be able to assist you in determining whether this step is the right step for you. The first thing you should know is that equity release should be considered as a last resort option.
Equity release is the process through which you can obtain cash. You do this through the value of your home. Here is what you get, the right to retain the home until you die or move into care and you do not have to repay the equity until you home is sold. Sounds like a great deal but is it really. For some it may be the only option but because of the actual break down of expense it is one of the most expensive ways you can raise cash.
What can the cash obtained through equity release be used for? The answer is just about anything you can think of. It can help with Inheritance Tax planning or any other type of assistance you may need. Here is how it works. There are two primary ways that equity release works. The first is Reversion and the second is Lifetime mortgage.
Under the Reversion plan you could sell all or part of your home for tax free cash. Keep in mind however that the percentage of the home that you sell will not equal the cash you will get. Normally, you will get less than the percentage value of your home. Under the lifetime mortgage plan you are granted what is called a tax free loan. It is borrowed against the security of your home. On this plan you make no repayments until the house is sold. This is usually at the time of demise or when you would enter a care facility.
On lifetime mortgages there is also the interest that is charged though is not collected and it is cumulative which means that you will, at the end of the loan not only pay the interest on the principal amount that was borrowed but also interest on all the interest that accrued. Confusing and expensive sounding right, this is why when considering an equity release it is essential to obtain assistance through a financial advisor.
Here is the difference between the equity release options with Reversion you will for certainty give your beneficiaries the proceeds percentage from the sale of the home that was left over from the release. For example, if you did an equity release under this method for 40% of your home then your beneficiaries would receive the proceeds of 60% of your home when it sold.
Lifetime mortgage works a little differently. The big difference is that if you die during the early part of the plan within the first couple of years for example. Your beneficiaries are going to be better off. However, if you do not you may end up reaching something called Negative Equity. This means that your loan would actually exceed the amount that could be obtained through the sale of the house. Not only leaving you with nothing to provide for your beneficiaries but also a mounting debt for them to pay off.
There are other factors to consider but these are the biggest factors that appear when considering equity release and the largest reasons why the market as a general rule views equity release as a final option measure to be used primarily in dire emergencies where there are no other possible options.
If you are considering an equity release it is important that you talk with your financial advisor and thoroughly discuss what each option could mean for you both what you will receive and what you may end up having to pay back. Your financial advisor will be able to assist you in determining if equity release is right for you and if it is which of the two schemes are going to be the best options for you.
Equity release can provide you with a way to provide for your family when it comes to inheritance taxes or it can be used in an emergency to provide your family with the funds that are needed to ensure their security but this type of financial step is not without significant risk. In order to be sure that this is the only and best option for you take the time to obtain the counsel of a financial advisor.
