Is your family thinking about the skills and experience your child needs for college and future success? The majority of college admission officers recommend that students start preparing before or by ninth grade. Yet, more than half of middle level students haven’t started prepping for college.

Experts say that summer is the perfect time for children to get ahead in building skills and experience for the journey to and through college and lifelong success. • Don’t Wait: No matter what grade your student is entering in the fall, encourage extracurricular and cocurricular opportunities that foster well-roundedness. • Be a Leader: Encourage participation in leadership programs to learn important skills like resourcefulness, problemsolving and cooperation. Becoming a strong leader early can help your student throughout college and his or her career. • Build Character: Teach your student about the importance of demonstrating high standards of honesty, integrity and showing respect toward others. Building strong character can serve as the foundation for future success. • Give Back: Suggest joining volunteer projects that your student is passionate about, and emphasize the importance of being active in and giving back to your community. • Find a Voice: It’s important for your student to understand his or her role and rights as a citizen. Take advantage of this election year to talk with your child about the political process and why it’s critical to get involved. • Be There For Your Child: Getting to and through college can be daunting for students, but teaching the values of

scholarship, service, leadership, character and citizenship can help children prepare for college and beyond. Involved parents can make a lasting positive impact. • Understand Finances: College costs can be overwhelming. It’s never too early to start planning. Spend time with your child this summer researching what need-based and merit-based financial aid options are available. Talk to your child about putting some of the money earned through jobs or received as gifts into a savings account, such as the 529 plan. More tips and resources for parents and students can be found at HonorYourFutureNow.org. Between the sun and fun of summer, help your child spend time now preparing for college, career and a lifetime of success. It’s never too early to begin thinking about a successful future.

Who’s Who... in East County

When the time to clear the homestead of unnecessary debris arrives, there are many benefits for those who choose to rent a dumpster container. This is true whether they are renovating their residence, making the move to downsizing their house, or simply have the desire to spruce up their living space. Ardent’s Hauling residential driveway dumpster service makes any job easier by delivering the container of your choice to your driveway, allowing you three days to load at your own convenience, and returning to pick up the loaded container and haul it to the dump for you. It’s as simple as that. Of course, there are other options. You could do your own hauling, but why put your vehicle at risk for stains, scratches, or foul odors? You could call for a special pickup, but then the job has to be done according to their schedule. It just makes perfect sense to rent a container, fill it up per your own agenda, and let someone else cart it all away. Ardent’s Hauling accepts large appliances, e-waste, yard waste, mattresses, car batteries, all household junk and much more for a flat rate. 6 cubic yard dumpster trailers are available, and for more arduous projects, a 10 cubic yard roll-off box can be leased. Flat rates make it easy to stay within your budget and the low prices make dumpster rental a cost effective way to deal with the burden of rubbish removal. Family owned and operated, this Antioch company has been serving the East Bay since 2005. Customers can call the office to request a container or simply make their dumpster arrangements online via their website or Yelp. Take the stress out of a messy venture, save money, and keep a better focus on the task at hand by renting a container from Ardent’s Hauling when it’s time to conquer the clutter.

Who’s Who... in East County

People are increasingly aware of alternative power sources to reduce costs, protect the environment, and live sustainably. Solar energy is the greenest and cleanest renewable energy resource available, providing power to residential, commercial, and community establishments. Monsam Enterprises of Antioch offers revolutionary solar air conditioners that deliver double value by costing virtually nothing to operate while simultaneously being eco-friendly. Solar air conditioners are suitable for residential and light commercial applications. Monsam systems offer a considerable advantage over other models. Direct-driven during the day, they provide high efficiency and reliability. Components may include solar panels, the inverter, a controller, and battery depending on the model. Three types of solar air conditioner systems may be purchased: off-grid, on-grid, and a hybrid model. On-grid and hybrids utilize grid and other power supplies. They tie into the existing home electrical supply to ensure 24/7 electrical power regardless of existing weather conditions or time of day. Monsam consistently offers high quality and exceptional customer service in the most environmentally-friendly way possible. Their goal is to save you money by reducing power costs by at least 95%. When the sun is shining, the system will operate 100% by solar energy.

LAW OFFICE OF MICHAEL PRIMUS

Can I Avoid Bankruptcy By Creating A Trust To Protect My Assets From Creditors? The answer is found at the intersection of trust and bankruptcy law. At the start, I want to define terms. A trust is a legal entity that can own and control assets including real and personal property. Practically speaking, a trust is little more than a folder of papers, but in the eyes of the law those papers create a legal entity. Bankruptcy law can forgive many debts but requires a showing of financial hardship. Financial hardship for bankruptcy purposes considers a person’s monthly income as well as their assets. Too much income, or too many assets, and bankruptcy may not be an option. People considering bankruptcy often ask, “Can I avoid bankruptcy by creating a trust to protect my assets from creditors?” To answer requires a brief description of the two major types of trusts: revocable and irrevocable. A revocable living trust (“RLT”) is the most

Advice Can Add Value on Many Levels In today’s Internetenabled, do-ityourself world, many investors are opting to go it alone. They pick their own stocks, bonds and funds; choose their own strategies; and make their own buy-and-sell decisions. While this self-directed approach may work for some, it may not be the wisest course for many. Investment Complexity May Require Professional Advice Investors today can choose from more than 5,000 publicly traded stocks, in excess of 7,000 mutual funds, 1,200plus exchange traded funds and several thousand bond issues – and that’s just those listed in the United States. Then, there are the alternative asset classes that includes commodities, real estate, hedge funds and private equity. The breadth of the public securities markets and the complexity of alternative

common type of trust. Many people have created RLTs with the help of lawyers, paralegals or even do-it-yourself kits. The typical RLT gives you unfettered control of the trust and all assets. In fact, as the name implies, the trust is revocable which means you can cancel it. For these reasons, the law will view assets in an RLT as your assets for debt collection purposes. The other type of trust is an irrevocable trust (“IRT”) which is generally created with the assistance of an attorney. This trust transfers assets permanently out of your name, meaning you have no ownership or control of the assets transferred. Your creditors are limited to seeking payment from you and your assets, and once an asset is transferred using an IRT it no longer belongs to you. Unfortunately, there are several “look back” periods so you cannot transfer your assets to an IRT once you are in financial straits as a means to dodge creditors. A couple examples will illustrate the point. Amanda has substantial financial resources, pays all her bills on time and is employed. She decides she would like to help her niece, Betty, by establishing an IRT for Betty’s benefit. She funds the trust by transferring money to the trust. Shortly thereafter, Amanda’s fortunes wane. She loses her job and depletes her savings, and in time she amasses vast debts. Her

investments require a high level of experience, and this is the value provided by a professional Financial Advisor. In addition, qualified Financial Advisors may have access to sophisticated strategies, institutional quality research and risk management tools that are generally unavailable to untrained individuals. Discipline and Objectivity – The Hallmarks of Successful Investing There are a number of classic mistakes that retail investors inevitably fall prey to: overreacting to market news, selling an investment too soon or holding it too long, trying to time the market, or under- or overestimating risk. A qualified investment professional is trained to identify the conditions that lead to these reactions, and may help you avoid these missteps. Objective, third-party advice can also help you maintain a disciplined investment strategy because it requires that you set achievable goals, implement trading guidelines and establish rules for buying and selling securities. Investment publications, blogs and television and radio shows are filled with stories about investors overpaying in a bull market and panic selling during a market correction.

debts arose after creation of the IRT and she has no right or access to the assets in the trust. Her creditors will have no claim to assets in the trust. Note: there can be gift taxes associated with funding an irrevocable trust. Carson owns a house but has not been able to pay his credit cards since he lost his job last year. He has bill collectors calling and is concerned he might get sued by one of his creditors. He creates an RLT and funds the trust by transferring his house and other assets to the trust. The trust will not limit the rights of his creditors to pursue Carson or his assets. Note: the exemptions laws protect many assets from creditor claims. Now back to the original question, can a person avoid bankruptcy by creating a trust to protect assets? The answer is no. Only an irrevocable trust can protect assets, and an irrevocable trust must be created prior to a person becoming unable to pay their debts when due.
