What’s your worst nightmare as a creditor? How about getting a legal notice out of the blue, announcing the bankruptcy of your biggest customer and debtor? Or getting a written demand for the return of a “preferential payment” that you had received from your now-bankrupt customer.

You are unlikely to be aware of an impending bankruptcy, or be given the courtesy ahead of time to speak with the debtor firm, which received your precious goods or services on credit. As a result, you are unable to suggest alternative approaches to help and to minimize the damage to your own business. An insolvent company can stay under your radar while still ordering supplies, before all hell breaks loose and it finally disappears from view, taking your firm’s capital with it.

I have been creating websites for several years now and started out with very basic needs. Initially I was satisfied with a very basic free package that did everything I thought I needed at that time. This was a simple package that was included for free with my high speed internet access.

With these types of packages, the number of features is extremely limited but it will introduce you to the basic processes. Although they might appear totally unacceptable to the experienced webmaster, they are not all that bad. This is a way to learn the basics at no cost.

Approaching the disillusion of a marriage, both parties are faced with many hard decisions. Whether to choose mediation over litigation is fundamental and primary in the divorce process. When couples weigh the pluses and minuses of both choices, the factor of cost must be of primary concern. The costs of divorce litigation are both significant and a source of concern for couples as well as even the attorneys that may represent them. In their September 2002 meeting, the Beverly Hills, California Bar Association issued the statement, “By the time we see [divorce] cases in court, most people have spent all their community assets in the divorce itself. By that time, we’re just dividing debts and attorney’s fees.” It is obvious that cost is a universal concern.

The average cost of mediated divorce, with one attorney, is on average $5,000 to $7,000. However, the cost of a litigated divorce averages $30,000. This disparity can grow significantly when a divorce is more complex. When you factor in the considerable expenses a divorcing couple faces, the added costs of divorce litigation are devastating. It is incumbent upon couples to look for ways to reduce costs so that assets remain for the benefit of their children and for relocation, housing, and associated costs. Choosing mediation represents a “wise decision” when looking for a way to cut costs while insuring the soundness of the divorce process.

If you become unconscious or too ill to communicate your own medical care decisions then the staff will follow your living will, which gives you a voice in the type of treatment you want. As long as you are able to express your own decisions, your living will cannot be used and you can verbally refuse or accept any medical treatment you want. If you lose your ability the participate in your own medical treatment decisions, and you don’t have a Living Will, then you have no say in the type of treatment you will get.

It is your legal right to make your own health care decisions. No health care or treatment may be given to you if you object (even life support), and no medical treatment you feel is necessary can be legally withheld from you. Anyone in Kentucky 18 years or older can have a living will.

If you have children or dependents that rely on you for personal or financial care then you need to file a power of attorney. If you were to become seriously injured or ill then your power of attorney will carry out your wishes even though you may not be able to communicate those wishes yourself. It will save your loved ones from trying to make critical medical decisions, or try to maintain your estate themselves for you.

New Jersey, like anywhere else in the U.S., recognizes a power of attorney as a legal document that will allow you to appoint some one to carry out your wishes in a certain event or situation. A power of attorney is much like a living will, except a living will can’t appoint some one to make decisions for you; only the decisions on your living will can be carried out. If you have a wife or husband you could designate him/her as your power of attorney, or if you’re a grandma or grandpa you may designate your son, it’s completely up to you.

You are very excited!! You have finally created your own website!! But the trouble is customers aren’t knocking on your website door. Why? What should you do?

The most probable answer is that your customers don’t know about your website. Creating a website is like building a house. If you don’t tell your friends they won’t know you’ve built a house. Even if they do know you’ve been building it, if you don’t tell them your address they’ll never find you.
