WHY LAW FIRMS DON'T FUND TRUSTS, AND HOW TO GET IT DONE When you set up a trust, think of it like you are creating a new legal entity. The trust needs to own some property, for it to work. Getting your stuff into the trust is a process called trust funding. The problem is that lots of trusts that exist are unfunded, so they don't work. Read the blog to find out how to get your trust funded, so that it works for you. Read more... https://lnkd.in/e5U4kySC #sechlerlawfirm #trustfunding #fundyourtrust #estateplanning

From attorney Bobbie Cox- Q&A: Here are some answers to other frequently asked questions about the appeal: Which court are you in now? It is the middle court in the three levels of NYS courts, meaning, we began last year at the trial court level (NYS Supreme Court in Cattaraugas County). We won there. Now the Governor appealed to the next court which is the Appellate Division. Who are the judges? There are almost a dozen judges in the Fourth Department, but only 5 preside over any one case. So, a panel of 5 judges will decide this appeal. They are all appointed by a governor. On my panel I have 2 Hochul appointees, 2 Cuomo appointees, and 1 Pataki appointee. And yes, a majority rules, so at least 3 of the 5 judges must rule in your favor for you to win. When will the court issue a decision? As noted above, the court is not bound to issue a decision at any set time. It could be days, weeks or months before we hear. Stay tuned to my Substack for updates! Is there another court above this one that the AG (or I) can appeal to if we do not like the decision? Yes. The final, or highest court in New York State is the Court of Appeals. It sits in Albany, and is presided over by a panel of 7 judges. They are all appointed by a governor. They do not hear all cases that apply to the court (kind of like the US Supreme Court). If this court overturns the lower court’s decision, will Rule 2.13 (the quarantine regulation) be re-instated? Unfortunately, yes, it will. What can we do to help you? There are lots of things you can do to help me!

What's a trust? It's just a legal document. Making a trust "come to life" to serve real life needs and goals for years, decades, or even a century takes very careful planning and execution. #trusts #estateplanning #financialplanning #wealthmanagement #trustweek
