Download or read book Wills Trusts Siegel s Series written by Lazar Emanuel and published by Aspen Publishers. This book was released on 1998-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ~Why practice taking exams?~ Siegel's Essay and Multiple-Choice Questions and Answers are designed to show you how to handle law school examination questions. Siegel's have been used by thousands of law students during the past decade, and any one will tell you why -- doing practice exam questions is the key to exam success. To ace your exams, you must (1) memorize blackletter principles and rules of law for each subject, and (2) understand how those principles of law arise within a test fact pattern. One of the most common misconceptions about law school is that you must memorize each word on every page of your casebooks or outlines to do well on exams. The reality is that you can commit an entire casebook to memory and still do poorly on an exam. Reviewing hundreds of student answers has shown us that most students pretty much know the law. The ones who do best on exams understand how legal problems (issues) stem from from the rules of law which they have memorized and how to communicate their analysis of these issues To The grader. Working through Siegel's essay and multiple-choice questions and answers will give you the practice you need to achieve superior scores on your law school exams. Each essay question comes with an extensive, well-organized model answer. Every multiple-choice question comes with a detailed answer that tells you not only why the correct answer is correct, but why each of the other choices are wrong, So you can better understand why you're choosing the wrong answer.

Professor Siegel has taught as a member of the adjunct faculty at Pepperdine School of Law and Whittier College School of Law, As well as For The UCLA Extension Program. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download or read book Living Trusts for Everyone written by Ronald Farrington Sharp and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-27 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The misconceptions surrounding the last will and testament need to be put to rest: Wills benefit lawyers. Trusts benefit you. Period. Too often lawyers sell wills to clients only to sit back and wait to sell their probate services to their client’ s heirs. Modern estate planning should utilize the Living Trust as the effective, efficient, and inexpensive alternative to a will. Living Trusts for Everyone: Why a Will is Not the Way to Avoid Probate, Protect Heirs, and Settle explains why wills are not the best way to handle an estate and details the many advantages trusts have over wills in not only eliminating probate, but protecting your assets for your heirs. Anyone with minor children, disabled beneficiaries, blended families, or spendthrift heirs must have a trust to be sure the assets left behind are put to good use, and that your intentions are carried out. Lawyers may have vested interests in perpetuating the probate system, but this book will explain why legal services are not needed to do the clerical work in settling a trust after death. No legal jargon or confusing double-speak, just specific step-by-step instructions and sample form letters to settle a trust are included to take the mystery out of the process. This is not a do-it-yourself book and it doesn’t try to cram every type of trust onto its pages. Living Trusts for Everyoneexplains in specific terms what benefit a trust will have for you and gives you the tools to settle a loved one’s trust with no lawyers and no expense. For those who already have a trust, there is a list of what to look for to see if your trust is any good, or if it needs to be updated. Trust seminars are examined with warnings on what to look out for in setting up your trust. Everyone who cares about what happens to their assets at death should read Living Trusts for Everyone: Why a Will is Not the Way to Avoid Probate, Protect Heirs, and Settle!

Download or read book The Power of Showing Up written by Daniel J. Siegel and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting isn’t easy. Showing up is. Your greatest impact begins right where you are. Now the bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline explain what this means over the course of childhood. “There is parenting magic in this book.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of the New York Times bestselling classic Raising Cain One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out—in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships—is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence. And it’s simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child’s healthy development. Every child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S’s: • Safe: We can’t always insulate a child from injury or avoid doing something that leads to hurt feelings. But when we give a child a sense of safe harbor, she will be able to take the needed risks for growth and change. • Seen: Truly seeing a child means we pay attention to his emotions—both positive and negative—and strive to attune to what’s happening in his mind beneath his behavior. • Soothed: Soothing isn’t about providing a life of ease; it’s about teaching your child how to cope when life gets hard, and showing him that you’ll be there with him along the way. A soothed child knows that he’ll never have to suffer alone. • Secure: When a child knows she can count on you, time and again, to show up—when you reliably provide safety, focus on seeing her, and soothe her in times of need, she will trust in a feeling of secure attachment. And thrive! Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for honoring the Four S’s effectively in all kinds of situations—when our kids are struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we are apologizing for the times we don’t show up for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are repairable and that it’s never too late to mend broken trust, this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child’s healthy emotional landscape.

Download or read book The Living Trust written by Henry W. Abts and published by McGraw-Hill/Contemporary. This book was released on 1993 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ". . . is unquestionably the layman's most nearly complete source on living trusts. . . . Recommended reading for anyone who wants to maximize his net estate left to heirs, speed asset distribution after death, avoid will challenges, minimize estate costs, and maintain privacy." -- Robert Bruss, Esq., and Nationally Syndicated Real Estate Columnist Chicago Tribune ". . . presents in clear, concise, and readable language what every person needs to know. I heartily recommend it as required reading for every caring husband, wife, parent--all those with an estate to pass along to heirs." -- Byron Countryman, Esq. Countryman and McDaniel Attorneys at Law, Los Angeles Why The Living Trust Is So Important You may think your heirs have been well provided for, but did you know that: Your loved ones may have to wait more than two years before receiving a penny from your estate--even though you have left a legally valid will? Costs of probating your will may eat up more than 10 percent of your estate-money your heirs will never receive? The specific instructions of your bequest may be contested or changed completely--even though clearly spelled out in your will? Once a will is probated, it becomes a matter of public record--anyone can access the information just by going to the courthouse and asking for your tile? A will cannot help you in life? If you become incapacitated or your judgment comes into question, it becomes a matter for the courts to decide and is, again, a very public process. A Living Trust is a simple, inexpensive legal alternative that eliminates the costs and delays of probate and ensures that your loved ones will receive their inheritance promptly and exactly as you intended. It is also the only estate planning tool that allows you to plan for your own incapacity or for avoiding competency hearings. When The Living Trust was published in 1989, it quickly became the bible on how to avoid probate. This updated edition includes information on the new IRA Q-TIP Trust, the Spousal and Family Support Trust, and the Family Limited Partnership. In addition, there is new material on the Charitable Remainder Trust (to preserve a large estate), the Gift Trust (to reduce the impact of inflation), protection for the handicapped, and a checklist of more than 150 "must" provisions that separate a good Living Trust from a bad one. Also included is up-to-date information about trusts for unmarried couples, placing assets in your trust, what should never be placed in your trust, and much, much more. A nationally recognized authority on Living Trusts, Henry W. Abts III is chairman and founder of The Estate Plan, the nation's oldest and largest Living Trust production corporation, responsible for creating more than 25,000 Living Trusts. A graduate of the University of Southern California, Abts holds a master's degree from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

Download or read book Wills Trusts and Estates in Context written by Scott Andrew Shepard and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wills, Trusts, and Estates in Context offers law school professors and students an accessible, student-friendly coursebook with narrative exposition, replete with significant caches of examples before and after cases. The narrative sections often build slowly in complexity, allowing students to learn the subject from the foundations up. The organization allows equal effectiveness for teaching Wills first or Trusts first, though the text—following tradition—presents Wills first. The book does not rely primarily on cases to teach doctrine. Instead of “hiding the ball,” Shepard offers students the ball and then “plays catch” with students by offering cases that guide an exploration and confirmation of the student’s understanding of doctrine. The accessibility of this book is complemented by a Practicum Problem, a case file that is designed to offer students a practice-based, team-organized, drafting and negotiation opportunity at the end of the semester; the book’s website, accessible to students, will also include previously used practicum problems that could be discussed throughout the semester to give students context and motivation by putting the student in the role of the lawyer handling a case. The curriculum is divided into three parts: (1) intestacy, other default rules, and mandatory rules that apply to both wills and trusts; (2) wills; and (3) trusts. It is structured to invite – but not require – instructors to offer students multiple in-semester assessments by testing the materials covered in each section at the end of the section, and before the practicum begins. The author will include some multiple choice problems to strengthen the formative assessment feature of the book. The practicum problem will have rich TM support to allow it to be used in different ways and to different degrees, and it will be revised or replaced annually. (The author uses these three section tests and the practicum problem as a substitute for a final exam, but it will be no problem to use this text in more traditional ways.) Professors and students will benefit from: Coverage of topics that is generally proportional to the coverage of topics on the bar exam Example- and hypothetical-heavy narrative exposition 20 highly relevant and illustrative cases, including some of the most teachable and often-used in the field Materials presented more quickly than traditional textbooks, in a manner that has proven accessible to a wide range of students Tests at the end of the three primary divisions of the text. End-of-the-semester practicum. The practicum is a practice-based, writing, negotiation and team-work project that gives students a chance to apply what they’ve learned in a setting that models real practice. Teaching materials include: Integrated Teacher’s Manual (the teaching information in the manual is integrated right into the student text at the appropriate point, highlighted, to make the electronic version of the teacher’s manual extremely user friendly). Online Case Bank (a repository of full cases to supplement the more succinct coverage within the printed text).
