With Gratitude
With the passing of the anniversary of the horrible tragedy of September 11, 2001, I am reminded that so many of the blessings in my life are made possible by the love and sacrifice of others. Many of you and your family members are active or retired military, firefighters, health care workers, police, teachers, social workers, and in other fields where you give of yourselves every day to serve, protect, care for and support others. Thank you!

Decanting: How to Fix a Trust That Isn't Getting Better with Age

Or maybe you created an irrevocable trust twenty years ago that doesn't work as it should. Is there any way to fix an irrevocable trust that has turned from a fine wine into vinegar? You may be surprised to learn that under certain circumstances the answer is yes, by "decanting" the old broken trust into a brand new one.
