ESTATE PLANNING
Do I need a Will or a Trust?
Often times a person wonders whether they need a Will or a
Trust. In most instances, a Trust provides the better protection. Here are the things you need to consider:
A Will only becomes effective upon death. Therefore, it does not take care of things
such as mental incompetency, etc. A
living Trust becomes effective immediately when you sign it, so it can handle
what happens in the event of disability.
This can keep you out of a conservator-ship situation.
In the state of California, if you have more than $150,000
in gross assets, then you definitely should have a living Trust. It will keep you out of a probate
situation. Probates are drawn out and
costly.
If you have real estate, you should have a living
Trust. Owning real estate will normally
trigger some type of probate action unless you have a Trust. If you own real estate in multiple states, you
definitely should have a Trust unless you want to go through probate in
multiple states.
If you have minor children, you should have a living
Trust. If you have a Will or have done
no planning at all, a Court or insurance company will not distribute assets to
a minor. This means that guardian-ships would
have to be set up in the Court and then the Court would control that money
until the minor turns age 18.
When the
minor turns age 18, then the Court releases the money to the 18 year old, most
parents think that age is too young. You
can keep it out of the Court house and control distributions by placing the
assets into a living Trust for the minor’s benefit.

FINANCIAL FINITES
In this issue of
Financial Finites, the topic of tangible is of utmost importance.
Tangibles, which are gold, silver, oil and food. Specifically we will
place emphasis on silver and gold.
Rather than save cash,
invest in gold and silver. Cash and/or paper money has no comparison in
value. Paper money is and has always been
a promissory note form of payment, which holds very little value.
The only time, when
saving cash would be a benefit, is to learn how to be an options trader – in
which, we will discuss in future issues.
As far as proper
investment ratio’s, tangible yield an overall 25%!
Please find the
following breakdown:
Equities
5%
Real Estate 40%
Precious Metals 25%
Oil 20%
Cash 10%
Silver and gold is a
simple and worthwhile form of investment. If enough is accumulated, one
can go anywhere in the world and purchase property, food, or anything else needed
for survival. No paperwork or
qualifications of a loan required.
In the event of a
unforeseen emergency, or if you need a loan (usually a 1-2 week process and credit
approval), could be the difference of life or death.
In the upcoming issues
of NX for YOU eMagazine, we will discuss further the importance of
tangibles, worldwide investments of tangibles, how to get started investing in
tangibles and how to keep your investment secure.

Time after Time
Pictures capture moments in time and serve as mementos of
the things we’ve experienced, people we’ve met, and places we’ve been. In
today’s world we use digital technology to do what simple sunlight and light
sensitive chemicals have been doing since the invention of the camera. With
advances in modern photography new techniques to preserve history have been
created.
Time-lapse
photography is a cinematography technique whereby the frequency at which film
frames are captured (aka the frame rate) is much lower than that which will be
used to play the sequence back. When you replay this sequence at normal
speed, time appears to be moving faster and lapsing. Essentially, time is being
manipulated.This
technique is wonderful for creating an engaging sense of motion and process.
At
Dream Shore Studios we use this technique to display the majestic qualities of
real estate properties throughout Southern California. Rolling clouds over
hills viewed from a bedroom balcony, bustling sea vessels pulling in and out of
a harbor near your port condo, and busy downtown streets are some of the
tapestries we capture using time-lapse photography that make your listings
stand out and make potential buyers take a second glance when searching for
their next home.

CREDIT MATTERS
Understanding Your Credit Scores: Part 2
In part 1, we covered the basics of your personal credit
scores and the importance of maintaining good credit. Today, I plan to cover a
brief explanation of the major factors on
how the 3 bureaus, (Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union), determine and
calculate your credit scores. Please note that your creditors do not report to
all 3 bureaus all the time, which is why scores may vary by a large margin
sometimes. A score of 720 or above is considered a very good credit score.
There are 5 factors that make up your credit score, and each
factor weighs differently on your score.
Here is the breakdown 35% of your score is based on Payment History: The biggest chunk of your score, payment history, tells lenders how you pay
your bills. Late payments, past due
accounts, and public records such as bankruptcy can seriously hurt your score.
30% of the score is based on Amounts Owed: This is the second biggest factor affecting your credit score. This factor takes into account how much is owed on all accounts, how many accounts carry a balance, and what percentage of your available credit are you using.
10% of your score is based on New Credit: This factor includes the number of recently opened accounts, the number of credit inquiries, how often you apply for credit, and the time since each account was opened.
15% of the score is based on Length of Credit History: This factor scores you on how long you have had credit, the time since you opened an account, and the time since recent account activity.
10% of the score is based on Types of Credit Used: A mix of credit is the best way to develop a good score. The most important consideration is to be picky about the credit you apply for. For instance, and most people don’t realize this, but third party financed credit cards (i.e. department stores ) are considered to be particularly low quality credit as the holder of such cards can appear desperate for credit , to the scoring system.

ESTATE PLANNING
Do I need to have an Estate Plan?
Historically, estate planning has been about planning for
death and taxes. No wonder no one wants to do it! Estate planning is no longer
about just planning for death and taxes. For people who are not concerned about
who gets what after their death, you can rest assured that your state
legislature will have a plan for you.
If
you feel confident that nothing will ever go wrong in your family, you may not
need to plan. If
you are sure your spouse will live comfortably after you die, you may not need
to plan. If you are sure your children
will never get divorced or will never get sued, you may not need to plan. If you are sure your grandchildren will not
need your help to get a college education, you may not need to plan.
Let’s face it, most of us do need to plan. If you want to protect our loved ones and
provide for their future as best you can, then you do need a plan. Proper
estate planning is no longer about how much wealth you have accumulated, it’s
about what and who are important to you.
For instance, let’s say there is a widow with two grown children who has
nothing but a house and $200,000 in life insurance. What if that widow’s son has a drug and
alcohol problem? Wouldn't she be
concerned about him using up any amount she leaves him for drugs and
alcohol? Wouldn't she feel better if she
were leaving money to him in such a way that he couldn't use the money for
drugs and alcohol but, the money could be used for his rehabilitation? It’s not about having a large estate; it’s
about providing a sense of comfort and well-being for you and your family.
An estate is never too small to plan for
proper planning.

PAPARAZZI
Creating a good first impression can be invaluable. According to psychologists, we form an impression
of a person in less than 20 seconds of meeting them, the same is true when
viewing a home.
Over 90% of new home buyers view houses that they find on the
internet and the properties that offer the best visual stimulation tend to generate
the most leads.
At Dream Shore
Studios LLC., a San Diego video production company, we understand the importance
of creating a great first impression.
We
work with real estate agents to create virtual tours and walk through videos
that immerse the online customer within the property and increase the
likelihood of them contacting the agent.
Customizable, creative, and effective,
we tailor our services to capture your vision and leave the best first
impression possible.

CREDIT MATTERS
Understanding Your Credit Scores:
Welcome to an ongoing series on the importance of your credit, building good credit and maintaining good credit. To better understand credit it is important to understand your FICO score.
For over 20 years the FICO scoring system has been a trusted solution for US lenders, to help them in making decisions in offering you the best interest rate loans, rebates, and premium credit cards.
FICO stands for Fair Isaac & Company also known as Fair Isaac Corporation.
"It is important to know that your FICO score is used to estimate your level of future credit risk."
Therefore your credit score influences the credit made available to you, the terms and interest rate, etc., that a lender will offer you. It is a vital part of your credit health.
There are 3 different agencies that report your FICO scores. They are Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union.
FICO score is calculated
by a mathematical equation that evaluates
many types of information from your credit report. This is done
by computing this information and comparing it to patterns of hundreds of
thousands of past credit reports.
Your FICO score can range from 300 to
850 points. If your scores show a large variation, it is because they have
received different information, but if they receive the same information, your
scores will be almost the same on all 3 bureaus.
