It’s A Wonderful Surprise!
October 7, 2009
I’ve been sitting on this exciting treat all week, and finally I can’t wait to blab about it! We get to help give away four packs of tickets to Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy — we get to help with the Portland Pixie Dust Hunt !

So here’s the deal. They’ve provided me with three photos. I post one and collect guesses as to where this picture of the jar of pixie dust was taken. You folks Email me with your guesses (and a correct email address so I can email you back if you win.). Don’t post below, because that’ll make it easier for people to guess with you! Then I’ll select a winner at random from the correct guesses. Does that sound easy?
The shows start Oct 22. I have 3 photos, so I’ll need to go about five days. So the first one will end Sunday Oct 11
Here’s the first photo: Where was this photo taken? Drop me a line and let me know! (Click on the image for a closer look).

Wills and Trust Planning for Busy Parents
October 15, 2009
Regardless of the size of your assets, if you have a child at home who depends on you, you really should consider having an attorney help you prepare a Will and Trust for your minor children.
This plan begins with naming legal guardians to raise your children if anything happens to you both you and your spouse, temporary guardians if your permanent guardian are unavailable, and conservators to help with the day-to-day finances. But, that’s just the beginning. Your Will can also provide detailed instructions about things like health care, education, discipline and your values, so your children are raised the way you want. And if your children are under the age of 18 you should also consider adding a trust for them, since minors cannot hold property.
A Will is a document that can be updated as you and your family grows. Decisions made now will probably change over the years. And that’s great! Making those changes, in general, is very easy. What is not easy is addressing the death of a parent who chose not to leave their wishes in written form and now the court has to do so for you, with no guidance, with no idea if the court’s decisions are contrary to yours and at a great expense to your family and estate.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Michelle-Shari Kruss directly anytime.
