a fun, fabulous, financial newsletter
July 2016; Issue: 156 
Welcome 

     

Summer sure started off bumpy with the Brexit vote. It did rock the financial world for a few days but things settled down quickly, for now. We do continue to see much unrest in many corners of the world which is unsettling for all of us on so many fronts.

We are enjoying ourselves this hot summer! Seaside concerts, July 4th parades and cookouts, private firework displays and sunset cocktails just to name a few fun activities. This photo is the sun setting over Plymouth Bay covered in fog, not clouds. It was a magnificent evening to share with some good friends.  
 
What are some of your summer highlights? We'd love to hear so drop us a line.  
 
Cheers, 

Paula Signature
p.s. Next month we will share more about the Plymouth Lobster Crawl and our lobster named "Grace". Or you can follow our Facebook page for updates!

Could your estate be in an epic battle?

"I've done something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick."
- Muhammad Ali
 
Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxers of all time. He is the only three-time world heavyweight champion; he won the title in 1964, 1974, and 1978. He was involved in several historic boxing matches, "Fight of the Century," "The Thrilla in Manila" and "The Rumble in the Jungle."
 
Ali fought many epic battles in the ring, and he fought many political battles out of the ring. Ironically, his biggest war may yet be defending his estate. Ali was married four times, had seven daughters and two sons. While I have no idea how his estate will be settled, it has the making of an epic battle.

The estates of the rich and famous make headlines. The passing of the musical icon, Prince, along with Ali reminded us of the need to plan our estates. Because of the sheer size of the estate, famous estates become infamous. Unfortunately, small, unknown estates can become wicked among surviving family members. Inheritors are regularly engaged in epic battles fighting for inheritance.
