So the fear of death is having people do planning? I have a newsflash for them. We're all gonna die and we don't know when. 1 hour ago, B-Man said: That is not true.

If this is the nudge they needed to have their families (and assets) protected after their death, well, ok. I hope they got a living will while they are at it. Not to pick a nit but a will does very little to protect your assets after death. It's better than intestate but it will still be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct but it will (no pun intended) be a mess with probate. I work with an estate attorney so tells people who don't want to do a trust that he'll gladly probate their estate. He will make a *****-ton (legal term) more money. People are very uneducated on these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also tell the same attorney just show them the rate of return on the cost of the trust. $2,000 trust today could save $100's of thousands in probate down the road. I usually highly recommend against them but there are paid legal firms that do them relatively cheaply. It's up to you to fund these trusts however which is key. If you don't fund your trust you spent a lot of money for a nice binder of paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 On 7/10/2020 at 1:48 AM, KD in CA said: No one (or at least I’m not) is saying open up as if there was no virus. Obviously there needs to be significant workarounds. But using the ‘kids might die’ excuse is b.s. If a particular kid has a serious medical condition than that kid should stay home. Otherwise, kids are not dying from COVID. If individuals deem it too risky to family members to sent kids to school, they always have the option to home school. If school districts want to accommodate distance learning for those people, great, have at it. If a certain teacher is high risk, hire a sub. But not opening schools because there is some risk or because it’s hard to manage or because certain teachers don’t want to come back is crazy. If not now, when? The risk profile will never approach zero until there’s a vaccine and that might be years away. From the diatribe you didn't bother to read the IP was saying that the TEACHERS are at more risk than the students. Recent medical observations are showing that even asymptomatic kids are actually experiencing damage to their bodies. Look I get it - you think it is all a hoax. The boggieman in the WH said it will all disappear when it gets warm out....Hmmmm.....not happening is it? No it is getting worse....hmm....now the boogieman wants to hide the data. Almost 140k people and their families just might disagree with you but what the hey they are a hoax too. Right? SMFH... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got the "all a hoax" corner square but missed "Faux news" and "Trumpian". 9 minutes ago, B-Man said: ‘Stunning’ statistic out of Philadelphia shows why schools MUST fully open this fall Yep...that's the rub. Seems like we don't have much agreement or framework* around what our risk tolerance is for having kids in schools with precautions vs. taking the 'zero risk' approach that now seems to be the default response for teachers' unions and those who have tested positive for TDS. * and yes, Trump does deserve some blame here for the absentee leadership. I am becoming convinced that is going to cost him the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 3 hours ago, TH3 said: So you have seen or done the math and extrapolations huh? Done the projections that kids - while having a low death rate - are likely to continue spreading the virus with schools acting as a transmission conduit that had not yet existed...and in light of a non-existent test and trace system - will continue the unabated spread. in red states like FLA. But perhaps you know this and can show how this result is worse than sending kids to school with these "large studies" that independent agencies have performed.... The extrapolations have been done by people who recognize that young healthy people are just as likely to die from the Flu as from Covid. Covid is dangerous to people over the age 70 and people who have other health issues. In recognition of this I have had to limit my contact with my parents who are both healthy but older. Basically schools opening are not anymore dangerous to the students, and I expect parents to help keeps students who are infected away from the most vulnerable unlike NY did. 1 hour ago, leh-nerd skin-erd said: If a person who "teaches" needs worldwide pandemic to be inspired to execute a will and health care proxy, they probably should not be teaching.
