Asian Cup: Sam Kerr is Australia’s ‘immense’ captain and match-winner as Matildas reach final
Asian Cup: Sam Kerr is Australia’s ‘immense’ captain and match-winner as Matildas reach final Optus Stadium was quiet and Australia were on the back foot. They had been for some time. Pegged back to 1-1 in their Asian Cup semi-final against defending champions China in Perth and struggling to escape their own half, Australia’s women’s national team seemed one lapse of concentration away from a second deflating semi-final exit as expectant tournament hosts in just three years.

After World Cup success, Australia looks to grow women’s soccer as host of the Asian Cup
After World Cup success, Australia looks to grow women’s soccer as host of the Asian Cup If you were to define the term “feel-good factor” in August 2023, you would have honed in on the Australia women’s soccer team. Although the Matildas bowed out to England in the semi-finals at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, co-hosting the tournament with New Zealand had a transformative effect on women’s soccer across the country.

How To Include My Family Caregiver In My Estate Plan
My next door neighbor recently had his mother pass away. His mother lived a long, happy life, and passed away at the age of 102! 102 years is a good, long life to me. Apparently she was a woman of many talents, and long life appears to be one of those talents! My neighbor tells me that she was a tough farm woman who was not going to give up on life easily, and she took care of the farm for most of her life.

From Grinch to Gratitude: Estate Planning That Reflects Your Wishes and Your Heart
Attorneys aren’t exactly known for being the warmest, most caring and wonderful people on the planet. Attorneys might even be described as being a little bit like the Grinch from Dr. Seuss’s story “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” whose heart was two sizes too small. The Grinch is miserable and hates the Christmas holiday, and sometimes attorneys seem to be unhappy.

How to Move Into A Care Facility Without Losing Your Mind or Your Money
My oldest daughter just became licensed as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) this summer, as she needed to find a way to get work experience in the medical field, and she wants to become a doctor. She found her first job working as a CNA doing overnight shifts at a memory care facility. She mostly keeps track of the people and guides them back to their rooms, as the overnight shift is for sleeping, but she also does need to take care of the residents as needed.
How long is a piece of string?
As I began my day, ritually wiping the dew off the decks and surveying the anchorage, I noticed that the nearest boat, maybe 300-400 feet away, was a 1970's era S&S designed Tartan 41. In it's day, these were state of the art race boats, and within the fleets that I raced in back then, they were also seen as really big boats. But as I took a second look, I thought the Tartan seemed too small to be that giant of a boat as I thought of them 50 years ago.
Why You Need to Periodically Check Your Beneficiary Designations
When I was in law school, we read a lot of court cases, but we rarely read cases about what went right. Instead, we read cases where something went wrong. This was true concerning wills and the cases concerning estate plans. We didn’t read court cases about how there were no disputes or disagreements, but rather we read about things that went wrong.
Making Your Estate Plan and Life Insurance Work Together
Almost every time I meet with someone to discuss their estate plan, I get questions about what happens with different types of assets, and almost always people want to know what controls who gets an asset. This leads to a discussion of how things can be transferred: via joint ownership, beneficiary designation, the dictates of a will, or the dictates of a trust for property owned by the trust.
Why Yes, You Do NEED a Medical and Financial Power of Attorney
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people tell me that they already have a will, so they are all set. I understand why those who tell me this may think it is true, but I do not completely agree. A will is only effective once you pass away, and only gives someone power to handle your assets and transfer assets to your named beneficiaries after you are deceased.

How Long Will it be Until my Living Trust is FUNDED?
I get asked about how long it will take to get a trust funded all the time. However, not everyone I talk to even knows what it means to fund a trust. Funding a trust in the process of re-titling assets in the name of the trust, or pointing assets to be Forms put into the trust at the time of death, so that the assets are owned by the trust.
Champions League predictions, team news and latest score
Hello everyone and welcome to one of the biggest soccer games of the season! It's Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain the Champions League semi-final first leg today, ahead of the second leg in the French capital next week. Mikel Arteta's side, fresh off knocking out competition holders Real Madrid in the previous round, are the favourites to win the competition, but will have their work cut out against a sensational PSG side which eliminated Arne Slot's Liverpool juggernauts.
Yes, You Have to Do Something to Complete Your Estate Plan
One of the most baffling things I have encountered in my law practice is how often people start the process with me, but do not complete things. I will meet with a potential client, talk to them about their situation, draft the documents, send out the drafts for review, and then hear nothing back. Despite repeated phone calls and emails to the people for whom I have started the work, I do not receive a response.
Hate sudden rate hikes? Then give Arizona more power to stop them | Opinion
The Arizona Republic’s recent article on utility company securitization quoted a parade of the usual suspects gnashing their teeth over legislation that will reduce volatility in electricity costs. To these activists, an energy strategy that is environmentally responsible, consumer oriented and economically viable goes two steps too far. Instead, they demand an extreme energy agenda, regardless of its impact on consumers or the economy.
Planning Before The Emotional Impact of a Death
I often discuss the virtue of planning ahead, so that you are not stuck with the default rules about who gets assets after you pass away. Many of what I discuss focuses on how you may want different things to happen with your assets than the default rules set up by the Colorado legislature, but there is a lot more to consider when death arrives than just planning for assets. Death can have a severe emotional impact.
Working With Your Estate Planning Attorney to Get What You Want
I was on a Zoom meeting recently with another attorney, and that attorney mentioned that she likes to write blog posts because it gives her more of a chance to do legal writing. I listened to what she meant by that and she talked about how a blog post gives her a chance to write something to explain one aspect of the law, or another, and that she enjoys being able to explain things that can be complex in an easy to understand manner.

Brighton & Hove Albion host Chelsea at the Amex Stadium for the second time in a week as the two teams meet in the Premier League today. It was the hosts who came out on top in the FA Cup six days ago with goals from Georginio Rutter and Kaoru Mitoma helping them come from behind. Brighton might have stolen the cup spoils, but it is Chelsea who have the Premier League advantage as they sit six places above this evening's opponents and have won each of the the last three league meetings.
Estate Planning For Single Women - What Does One Need?
What does a single woman need in terms of an estate plan? The short answer is the same as everyone else, a will or trust, financial and medical powers of attorney, and a living will. These documents are the foundations of any estate plan, but they can, and should be tailored to any person’s unique situation. Certainly single women have different life circumstances than a married woman or a single or married man.
Divorce And Your Living Trust: What Do You Need to Do Post-Divorce?
The first, and to me the most obvious, thing to know is that if you get divorced, it is time to rewrite your trust! After a divorce, the last thing you want is for trust to remain the same. If you leave your trust the same, that could mean your ex spouse gets more assets after you die, and you likely do not want that to happen. Instead, re-writing your trust will get your assets to the correct people, not an ex-spouse.
Is political polling broken?
Pollsters should stop thinking in terms of random samples and instead focus on diagnosing non-response bias Published Wed, Nov 6, 2024 · 05:00 AM THIS year’s US presidential election is as polarising as any in modern history, with both candidates’ supporters unable to fathom the other side’s choice. Public opinion polls can show whom voters support and why.
How Do You Put Your House Into A Living Trust?
This question seems like an easy one to answer. To transfer your house into a Living Trust, you want to prepare a deed to transfer ownership of the house from you into the trust. In Colorado, you can use a Quitclaim Deed, Warranty Deed, General Warranty Deed, or a to transfer ownership into the trust.

A Living Trust vs. Revocable Trust Compared Side by Side
Most people use the terms “revocable trust” and “living trust” interchangeably. The terms are usually synonymous, and most everyone I know thinks they are the same thing, but that isn’t always true. Since there are some important differences, I will address the differences in this post: A Living Trust vs. Revocable Trust Compared Side by Side Living Trust Definition: A living trust is a trust that you create while you are alive.
A Strategic Approach to Transitioning from Police Work to the Business World
A Strategic Approach to Transitioning from Police Work to the Business World Transitioning from a career in law enforcement to the private sector business world is a significant journey that requires meticulous planning, adaptation, and a strategic mindset. For many in the law enforcement profession, retirement and the almighty pension is the driving force behind a long 20-year career, but for some, the chance to retire is cut short for any number of reasons.
The Most Miles I’ve Traveled In a Single Day as a Mobile Estate Planner
I drive a lot. I drive to meet clients at their home, or at an office near them in the Denver Metro and beyond, and I put about 30,000 miles per year on my car. I don’t mind doing this at all, as I enjoy working with clients and I want to make things convenient for them, but there is a lot of revving involved as a mobile estate planning attorney.
Will I Go To Jail If I Don’t Handle My Mom or Dad’s Estate Plan The Right Way?
The short answer is probably not. I know people get really concerned about doing everything the right way, and I fully understand how people want to do things the right way, especially when it comes to legal matters, but jail usually isn’t the punishment if you happen to make some missteps in handling your Mom or Dad’s estate plan. There are a couple of ways you might end up in jail, but only if you move beyond making a mistake, and move more into nefarious or malevolent actions.
Emboldening leaders to break boundaries and work across divides
The strength of our nation lies in Americans’ unique ability to bring our own diverse experiences and shared humanity to the table with those who are different from us and use our distinctiveness to serve the greater good. This is what makes the United States the greatest democracy and force for good in the world. But we’ve all felt the divisions chipping away at our unity at some point or another over the last several years.
3 Times I was Not Able to Help Someone Plan Their Estate Plan
I try to help as many people as I can. I find that I can help most people. Sometimes I am not the best person to help someone – as is the case with people who came to me for help with an estate plan, but they were worth $150 Million. That number far exceeds the current Federal estate tax limit, and I really don’t handle , so I referred them to my friends who handle taxable estates.
Why Coloradans Need To Start Early to Protect Your Assets from Medicaid
I frequently get calls from people who tell me that they want to put their assets into a trust to protect the assets from Medicaid. The people who call often tell me that they read somewhere on the Internet that they could put their assets into a trust and qualify for Medicaid assistance. I become the one that needs to tell them that while the concept is true, the Internet often does not tell the whole story.
