July 10, 2010 by Stephen A. Mendel, Estate Planning Attorney

Start researching about ways to plan your estate and you’ll likely come across the Revocable Living Trust. Sounds pretty impressive to be sure, but what exactly is this document and how does it work for you? A Revocable Living Trust is a legal document in which you can specify how you want your property to be managed and distributed during your lifetime and after your death. Note that I said “during your lifetime” – unlike a Will, a Living Trust does not wait for your death to become … [Read more...] about What is a Revocable Living Trust?

Frugal Retirement

July 4, 2010 by Stephen A. Mendel, Estate Planning Attorney

When you think about living frugally during retirement, what comes to mind? If you imagine a life of deprivation and self-denial, it’s time to rethink your definition of frugality. Frugal living is just a matter of planning your spending and making the most of every dollar. Living frugally can actually mean living better – if you know what’s coming in and you have well-defined priorities for spending your money, you’ll be able to spend on the things that are most important to you. The first … [Read more...] about Frugal Retirement
