Durable Décor Upgrades that Add Comfort and Style to Your Home
SOCIAL MEDIA CONSULTANT
K!out Marketing PHOTOGRAPHER
Sam Young 925-301-7448
Interior upgrades should make a big impact -- adding style and comfort to your home. They should also last a long time, even if you have a busy household, with lots of foot traffic. To add both form and function to your living spaces, consider the following ideas. Paint and Decorate Sometimes going from drab to fab is as simple as a paint job. Even if you’d like to keep your white walls, a fresh coat can make a room feel brighter, cleaner and more comfortable -- however, you may want to consider the addition of an accent wall or textured design for some pop. Don’t forget your prep work. Sanding and cleaning the walls helps ensure the paint applies nicely and looks great for a long time. If you need help, all you have to do is look in our Home Improvement pages we have several reliable painters that can cut the work down for you. Redo Your Carpeting Soft carpeting provides luxury and comfort at once. However, homeowners who have children or pets, or whose rooms otherwise see a lot of foot traffic may wonder if there is long-term value in installing soft carpeting? The answer is yes, there are options that are durable, soft and easy to clean.
4
Such carpet features as permanent built-in stain and soil protection, help to maintain a carpet’s beauty through years of foot traffic. Reupholster Furniture Add beauty to your living spaces with a furniture facelift. New upholstery can add luxury and style to items that look worn out but are actually in great structural shape. Whether you are a DIY-er or you have this task done professionally, opt for scratch-resistant, hair-repelling leathers and fabrics, especially if you have children and pets or just prefer low maintenance furniture. Try a furniture consignment shop or antique shop for furniture as well. Give your home a touch of comfort and style with durable floor to ceiling updates on a budget. Happy Decorating!

MEET OUR NEW SALES REP
Amy Bright My name is Amy Bright and I have lived in Discovery Bay and this amazing community since 1998. My high school sweetheart, Jason, and I were married in 1997 and moved here from San Jose where we both were born and raised. Since moving here we have had three children, who range from the ages of 17 to 7. Our children have had wonderful academic and social upbringing in this community and we are so thankful to God for the ability to raise our family in such a loving small town. I started my sales career in the Silicon Valley as a corporate Distribution Sales Rep. I absolutely loved and thrived in that position, becoming part of the Presidents Sales club in my first six months. When my first child was born my husband Jason and I decided that having two full time traveling Sales Reps was not the ideal situation for our family so I decided to stay at home to help raise our family. From the minute I made this choice I knew
10
that one day I would return to being that top producing sales agent. But that my first priority for this season of my life was to mold my children into becoming their best and fullest potential; and then when I had laid that foundation for all of them I will be able to continue with my dreams and goals for my own personal success. I graduated from college in 1996 but had never applied the credentials I had earned and so I figured this might be the ideal time to do so. After staying home for four years as a child care provider I became a Preschool Teacher here in our community and continued that position for nine school years. I loved teaching and building tight relations with not just the children of our community but also the families. When my two oldest had moved on to other schools I chose to retire from teaching and start a new life chapter. I became a local Real Estate Agent and quickly realized how much I had missed the sales profession. As a Real Estate Professional I was able to sharpen my sales skills, which had become a little rusty from nonuse, and network within our local community. I’m looking forward to my new position as the Grapevine’s Advertising Sales Representative.
The Monthly Grapevine™ EAST COUNTY EDITION MARCH 2017
The ultimate career for me is one that can put all of my life experiences to work: personal, business and academic. I am so blessed to be a part of this town I live in and raise my family surrounded by the great people of this community. I have worked with so many amazing small businesses within our area and am so pleased and excited to be able to share their talents with all of you!

Who’s Who... in East County
In weather-friendly California, there are numerous advantages to constructing an outdoor living space on your property. Creating an open-air room is undoubtedly a valuable financial and personal investment that increases the value of your home and results in extra space for convening with family and friends. Since 1998, Sun Busters, Inc., of Brentwood has been helping people to embrace the outdoor lifestyle by offering professional, honest, and reliable service. Sun Busters has a wide array of freestanding or attached pergolas, trellises, and latticework structures to choose from. Additionally, they are skilled with insulated roofing, non-insulated roofing, and louvered roof patio covers. All of their products have a lifetime manufacturer warranty. Typically, your home is your greatest investment. Should you decide to erect an outdoor haven on your property, the money spent will very likely be returned when you decide to sell. Freestanding or attached structures provide defined space along with shade that appeals to potential buyers; a charming exterior sanctuary is sure to evoke feelings of alfresco relaxation and camaraderie. Looking for additional square footage for recreation and entertaining? Sun Busters can guide you in creating the outdoor space of your dreams. A properly designed patio cover, trellis or pergola provides increased elbow room to comfortably accommodate you and your guests. No more cramping everyone in a hot and crowded house! Sun Busters has proudly received several Best of Brentwood and Best of Oakley Awards over the years. Their mission is to continuously meet and exceed the expectations of patrons with expertise and quality customer service.

BUSINESS
LAW OFFICES OF JOAN GRIMES
Understanding Portability The Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2010 amended the Internal Revenue Code to allow the estate of a decent who is survived by a spouse to make a “portability election.” A “portability election” allows the surviving spouse to apply the Deceased Spouse’s Unused Exclusion (DSUE) amount to the surviving spouse’s own transfers during life and at death. Portability was set to expire December 31, 2012. However, in January, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (“ATRA”) made the portability provisions permanent. On June 16, 2015 the IRS released final regulations. The original portability requirements remain unchanged by the final regulations, which are as follows: 1) the decedent must be a U.S. citizen; 2) the DSUE amount portability election must be made on a timely filed 706 return within 9 months of the decedent’s date of death, or when allowed, within 15 months using an automatic extension; 3) the estate tax return must be complete and property prepared; and 4) the unused exclusion amount may only be used from the “last deceased spouse.”
The Amount of the Exemptions
The Continuing Case for a ByPass Trust
For 2016, the lifetime gift, estate and Generation skipping transfer tax credit is $5,450,000. The exemptions index up with inflation each year. The tax rate on transfer in excess of the applicable credit is 40%.
Portability has made the transfer tax side of estate planning much easy. Many times a client will ask if there is still any reason for a ByPass Trust. The answer is YES. The following are just a few situations where a ByPass Trust is absolutely advisable: 1) Creditor Protection, an outright gift of property to the surviving spouse provides virtually no protection: 2) Blended Family, if there is no bypass trust, there is no “legacy protection” to ensure that the surviving spouse ultimately disposes of the property in a manner consistent with the decedent’s objective; 3) Protection from subsequent unsuccessful relationship protection is needed to ensure they are not alienated from the trust assets; 4) A Bypass trust provides better protection for beneficiaries than general power of appointment marital deduction trust because the surviving spouse must have the right to receive all income and potentially distributions of principal.
Portability Election Portability is an ELECTION. It isn’t an automatic “allocation.” In order to elect portability, an executor must file a timely estate tax return, which is defined as 9 months after the date of decedent’s death. The final regulations clarify that if an estate is required to file an estate tax return because the estate is over the federal estate tax threshold ($5.45 million in 2016), an extension to elect portability under Regs. Sec. 301.9100-3 may not be granted because the due date for the return is governed by statute. However, if an estate is under the threshold, the IRS may grant an extension of time to elect portability. Who is responsible for making the decision to file for portability?
Clarity on portability has created a clearer map for practitioners to navigate what has felt like a portability minefield. We now have direction on the timeline for filing for portability, who is responsible, how to determine the DSUE amount, and how remarriage may affect portability.
The decedent’s executor is responsible for deciding whether to make the portability election or not. If there is no appointed executor, “any person in actual or constructive possession” of any the decedent’s property may file the estate tax return. If the elector chooses not to make an election, he or she can do so by either making an affirmative statement on the estate tax return or by not filing a timely estate tax return.
