Estate planning: specific tools to build your gift of love
Article Abstract:
Estate planning essentials are discussed. Topics include, in order, tax advantages, wills and trusts. Wills, while important, alone are insufficient for estate planning. Trusts are often desirable supplements, or even replacements, for wills. Seven types of trusts are examined: unified credit, revocable living, irrevocable, irrevocable life insurance, charitable remainder, generation skipping, and qualified terminable interest.

Interest rates say: time to look at refinancing a home
Article Abstract:
Lowered interest rates are spurring many people to either buy homes or refinance mortgages on existing properties. Anyone considering either refinancing or buying, however, should compare mortgage rates offered by various banks. Refinancing costs may be recovered in less than four years depending on interest rates. Additionally, homeowners may benefit from Pres Clinton's tax proposals for deducting mortgage interest.
