I had a long conversation today with a man who I consider a mentor, and we were talking about long-range planning and vision (and how it's easy to get off track). I mentioned to him that I had been working away too hard in my busi… Continue

Continuation of the business after death, replacement of key employees, equalization of inheritance for heirs not interested in the business, or the buyouts of other business partners become major estate planning concerns. There are many strategies to assist business owners to meet these estate-planning concerns. Below is a… Continue

Ben McCann Funding a Charitable Life Estate Plan Using Life Insurance

No crystal ball can reveal what will ultimately happen with the house part of your estate. Although, the house is often a donor’s largest asset in his or her estate, its value can fluctuate depending on factors beyond a donor’s control. One way to plan around this uncertainty is to create a “charitable life estate” complete with enough life insurance to replace the “would be” value of the home. What is a “Charitable Life Estate”? A charitable life estate involves gifting a reside… Continue

Daniel Andrew Young Part Two: Suburbia Guzzles Gasoline

In the previous essay I wrote about suburban sprawl, looking at how the New America has been and is currently being built, with housing, retail, office space, and industry each segregated from the other. The traditional model of American towns and cities, with downtowns, open streets with mixed residential and commercial use, etc. has given way to what we see in suburbia today, where vast commercial developments are built away from where people live and work and go to school. The way the New Ame… Continue
