Probate- It's As Inevitable As Death And Taxes

>> Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Not many people are truly familiar with the legal process called Probate. For those that are, they recognize it is an unavoidable path everyone will eventually have to take. Probate is the legal process by which property in an estate is transferred to the heirs or intended beneficiaries of a deceased person. After a person dies, a petition is presented to the judge that lists the property of the decedent along with the intended recipients of the property. A certified copy of the decedent’s death certificate and original Will accompanies the petition. After all the necessary persons are notified and all taxes and existing debts paid off, the judge will sign an order distributing the property according to the decedent’s wishes.

Michael Wild, the managing partner of Wild, Felice, and Partners, PA., a firm specializing in Estate Planning, Asset Protection, and Probate states, “Probate is always necessary in Florida. Whether or not the decedent has a Will, the estate will still need to go through the probate court in order to be distributed. The difference just lies in the formalities later involved.” A Will triggers formal probate proceedings, which can minimize the adverse effects of creditor claims on estate beneficiaries.

Florida Law requires legal representation during probate proceedings when the estate is over $75,000.

Michael explains, “The probate process becomes even more complicated with a larger and more complex estate.” Michael adds, “One can generally expect the probate process to last at least 6 months. However, with these more complicated estates; it can take many years before probate is resolved.” This inevitable task can become less daunting by the assistance of a qualified and well-seasoned attorney.

By planning early and having a Will and Trust drafted, substantial time and money can be saved. Hiring an attorney as soon after the decedent’s death as possible also has its advantages. Michael illustrates, “Formal probate decreases the time frame in which creditors can come forward with claims against the decedent’s estate. They only have 90 days thus reducing the possibility of creditor collection. Otherwise, creditors may place claims against the estate for 2 years.” In addition, working with an estate-planning attorney will save considerable legal costs in the long run. A client can be sure the plan is properly written and executed and that their wishes will be completely fulfilled. Creating a Will, Trust or other documents without legal counsel can result in costly mistakes ranging from improper signatures and witnesses to the invalid structure of the Will, not to mention, bitter contention by claimants later.

It is best to consult with an attorney as soon as a loved one dies, if not much earlier than that when establishing an estate plan during life. Michael Wild and the lawyers at Wild Felice & Partners, PA offer free consultations for both estate planning and probate administration.

Managers are motivated by positive results, and a bottom line that benefits from increased employee retention, and efficient operations. Simply stated, Employee Engagement is vital to building a successful organization."

The seminar began with the description of productivity results for engaged and non-engaged employees. A Gallup Poll survey concluded that only 25% of company employees are engaged.

The seminar continued with consultant, educator, and coach Doug Mendoza presenting to 30 attendees the critical components that include how to diagnose and measure employee engagement within their organization.

The program focused on assessing levels of engagement and discovering actions to take to enhance them. Doug also stressed the importance that knowledge, skills, and tools have in helping align and build team commitment. He also explained the importance of developing strategies for intentional engagement, and recognizing the role that trust and collaboration play in Employee Engagement.

At the conclusion of the seminar, each attendee was given five free Employee Engagement assessments to gather more insight into the engagement levels within their respective organizations. Wild stated that, "assessments will deliver a full overview of the level of engagement within each participant’s company. This facilitates the starting point in establishing a dialog on how to increase company growth through increased Employee Engagement."

The seminar was so well received that STEP intends to launch the Employee Engagement program as a webinar in the coming months allowing thousands to view this essential information.

The Star of David Symbolizes the Universal Architecture

>> Sunday, September 18, 2011

The Star of David is more than just the symbol of Jewish religion. The universal architecture that the Star of David is, one can only open up the perception of harmonica living through the incredible geometry of the Star in question. It is the question of unity and human developmental process that abides by a thread of commonality running through different races and religions in the world. The Star of David has unique possibilities that can either be seen as a symbol of a female, a male, children or a whole family. In some other ways, the geometry of this much speculated star can show angles of the Universal temple where the human existence is given a global architecture and a global meaning.

In the Hebrew culture the Star of David and the House of David are vivid symbols of unity and trust. A sign that in no way encourages tyranny or dominion over others and that encourages self-service and non-dependency over our fellow beings. The star advocates people that one needs to achieve the oneness within a race and unify in their human developmental structure and be one in the eyes of the none other than themselves. No political dominion must succeed in segregating any group of human community living in harmony.

The Star of David epitomizes the core value of the Global architecture. While the a human can perceive a certain concept in 6 different ways the truth ultimately is one and this essentially forms the core of the Star of David. Maintaining a perfect balance within our six senses and discovering pure love also is variedly symbolized through the universal architecture of the Star of David.

What people need to essentially learn from the global architecture of the universal symbol of unity and harmony is that they have to discover the power within them and stop depending on other superficial structures that pose a false dominance over the world. When a meager portion of the world bathes in enormous riches a major part of the universe is pulled by the quicksand of poverty. The situations are never going to be the same for those who have power today. So just learn to live with harmony and in unity and not let any external devilish influences bring a deep divide between groups of friends, relatives, loved ones, neighbors, countrymen or even strangers.
