When You Want to Change the Terms of Your Testamentary Trust: 3 ...

Jan 24, 2013 ?/? By: Geoffrey H. Garrett, Estate Planning Attorney ?/? Category: Wills and Trusts

Tip 1: Be clear about the changes you want to make and why.

People often establish a testamentary trust to provide inheritances to those who cannot govern them themselves, such as minor children who cannot directly own property. If you want to change the terms of the trust you need to be sure why you are doing so and if changing the trust terms is the right course. You should speak to an attorney about this because there may be other alternatives you have not considered that could fit your desires better.

Tip 2: Consider the effect the change will have on your other property.

A significant change to the terms of your testamentary trust could impact the other gifts or conditions you included in your will. If, for example, you direct that additional property gets transferred to the trust, that property might affect the inheritances you directed in the will.

Tip 3: Make your changes in writing.

The most common way to update or alter the terms of a testamentary trust is to create a codicil or a new will. A codicil is a document that alters the terms of your existing will, while a new will allows you to completely rewrite it. Both documents must be printed and comply with the laws of your state. These laws are the same laws that applied when you made your original will, and failing to meet them will render the updated document invalid.

Curry, Lee lead Warriors past Thunder 104-99

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ? Stephen Curry banked in an off-balance shot while getting fouled by Russell Westbrook to start a three-point play, falling to his knees and shaking his shoulders to the sellout crowd.

Not quite the shimmy Mark Jackson displayed during his playing days ? still plenty good enough to please the Golden State coach.

Curry had 31 points and seven assists, and the Warriors punctuated the season's midpoint by outlasting the NBA-best Oklahoma City Thunder 104-99 in style Wednesday night.

"The way he's playing," Jackson said, "dance all you want."

On the eve of the announcement for All-Star reserves, Golden State's top two candidates made a lasting impression.

Curry matched Kevin Durant's spectacular scores all game, stole a pass from the Thunder's leading man in the final seconds and hit a pair of free throws to seal the Warriors' third straight victory. David Lee had 22 points and 12 rebounds, helped Golden State outrebound Oklahoma City's lengthy frontline 40-39 and made some big plays late.

The Warriors, with one playoff appearance since 1994, are 26-15 and own the fifth-best record in the Western Conference with another 41 games to play.

"I'm sure we're surprising people," Curry said.

Even Jackson, who doubles as a preacher, said he always had faith his team could win but "I get my praise and worship on because I didn't think it'd be this good," especially with center Andrew Bogut still sidelined indefinitely while recovering from left ankle surgery.

Durant had 33 points, nine assists and five rebounds, and Kevin Martin scored 16 points for the Thunder, who blew an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter a night after running away with a win at the Los Angeles Clippers. Oklahoma City (33-10) had won seven of eight but still remains at the top of the NBA standings.

"We could have been much better defensively," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "They made a lot of plays inside the paint but they got a lot of points off of our turnovers, too. We didn't make enough plays down the stretch and they did. They deserved to win this game."

Once again, the Warriors showed they're no fluke out West this season.

Lee found Carl Landry slicing through the lane for a dunk, Klay Thompson hit a running hook as part of his 19 points and Landry put back his own miss to give Golden State a 97-94 lead with 2:25 remaining.

Kendrick Perkins tipped in a rebound on the other end before Jarrett Jack swished in a high-arching shot over Durant near the top of the key to put the Warriors ahead by three again. Durant answered back with a pair of free throws, only to watch Lee's layup extend Golden State's lead once more.

Durant hit one of two free throws to slice Golden State's lead to 101-99, then Curry missed an open 3-pointer to give the Thunder a chance with 17.5 seconds to play.

Durant caught the inbounds pass on the right side and tried to slip a quick pass to Perkins in the paint. Instead, Curry intercepted and was fouled, making both free throws to put the Warriors ahead by four with 12.4 seconds left.

"The design was to get me a shot coming off toward the corner but they had two on the ball and they left Perk," Durant said. "I've just got to make a better read. I thought he was going to dive. I've got to hold onto that ball. That's all on me. I can't put Perk in that position."

Curry also outplayed Westbrook, who is likely headed for an All-Star selection. Westbrook had 10 points, five rebounds and four assists while shooting 3 of 16 from the floor, including 0 of 5 from beyond the arc.

Golden State hasn't had an All-Star since Latrell Sprewell in 1997. That drought might end Thursday when the NBA announces the reserves, who are voted on by coaches.

"He had my vote," Brooks said of Curry.

Even with all of Oklahoma City's length and quickness, Curry often made the game seem like his own layup line.

He sliced and shook through the lane to convert three straight layups, capping the brief burst with a no-look reverse off his left hand. The Warriors were outshot 60 to 47 percent in the first quarter, though they still led 27-26 in large part because of six turnovers by Oklahoma City.

Durant stayed on the offensive and pushed the pace. He got past Landry for an uncontested dunk after the Warriors forward tweaked his ankle preparing to defend Durant, who also made a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws during a 10-3 run that put the Thunder ahead 45-38 midway through the second quarter.

Durant and Curry continued to dazzle in the second half, each with a spectacular score on one end only to have the other come back even stronger. At one point, the 6-foot-9 Durant covered the diminutive point guard, chasing him around screens all over the perimeter.

No matter.

Curry kept on coming and so did the Warriors, who went up 72-68 on his three-point play, which Curry celebrated with a shimmy similar to the one Jackson often showcased as an NBA point guard. Curry said he hadn't practiced the move, nor could he recall exactly what he did in the moment.

"It's truly genuine," he said.

So might be Golden State's play this season.

NOTES: The Warriors are the only team to beat the Thunder, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers this season. ... Oklahoma City is 6-3 on the second night of back-to-back games this season. ... The Thunder are 2-2 on their season-long six-game trip.

Quick Look: 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo New Car Detail & Full ...

The Gallardo has been the go-to, entry-level raging bull for many Lamborghini enthusiasts for nearly the last 10 years running. With numbers reaching into the 10,000s, the Gallardo stacks up as the most produced Lamborghini in the history of the company, and whether you?re a fan of the stocky little fighter or not, there is simply no denying its popularity among the masses. We?ve enjoyed a pretty fair share of Gallardos in our shop due in part to being right next door to one of the biggest Lamborghini retailers in the country, and even customized a Super Trofeo Stradale to look more like its new counterpart, the Edizione Tecnica.

The one thing we didn?t really expect though, was to receive a brand new 2013 Gallardo as one of our first New Car Details of the year!

The Gallardo arrived in some seriously cold weather on a rather icy afternoon. Fully equipped with a fresh set of snow tires, word on the street was this Gallardo had a daily driven future ahead of it, so beyond the New Car Detail, Full Frontal clear bra would be a must to keep that fresh paint looking pristine and damage free. As always, we kicked off the New Car Detail with our signature 24-step hand wash over the entire vehicle, wheels, arches, as well as door, engine and trunk jambs.

Once the wash was completed, Brian moved on to the hand dry using compressed air and synthetic absorbent towels so it would be ready for further inspection & decontamination.

We positioned the Gallardo on the shop floor and Mike began the clay bar process. Despite the fact that it?s brand new paint, it still doesn?t hurt to remove any embedded road grime, tar & other contaminants that may have found themselves embedded during transport.

Even though we weren?t pulling out any serious paint correction for this Gallardo, we still like to scour over new vehicles for flaws and general surface conditions. Not only is it good for getting an idea of what services may need to be rendered in the future, but it also helps us get a feeling for what to expect from dealerships & manufactures in case a customer or potential buyer needs advice when seeking a new vehicle. We?ve seen new cars arrive that look like they?ve been kept in climate controlled, hermetically sealed containers, and we?ve seen new cars that look like barn finds; none are perfect, but all can benefit from a New Car Detail!

Although the Gallardo seemed relatively spotless thanks to a milky coat of Bianco Monocerus it did exhibit some minor swirls and hatch marks, most of which could be removed with the New Car Detail?s single stage machine polish utilizing Menzerna.

With a thorough polishing completed, it was time to get the Gallardo air born so Matt could start installing the Full Frontal clear bra protection package. If you?re wondering what Full Frontal coverage includes, it?s all in the name & just like it sounds! Basically, clear bra will be applied to the entire hood and both front fenders to alleviate ?the line? and ensure maximum coverage & optimum protection from debris coming off other vehicles and anything that gets kicked off the front wheels. We also install protection over the headlights, any fog lights or lower lamps, front bumper and side mirrors to keep the paint safe from more rubble & detritus that might be coming head on. It is absolutely essential for those looking to protect their investments, and even more so if you plan on putting in some serious track time or have a heavy commute!

Since the ?13 Gallardo was just in for a New Car Detail plus clear bra & had to be delivered to the owner a ways away from the shop, we didn?t have much time to spend shooting every angle we would have liked, but we did manage to get her into the cyclorama for a quick 360.

The front bumper definitely sports some of the most aggressive lines the Gallardo has seen yet, and whether you love it or hate it there is no denying it sure makes quite a statement for the final production year. Initially when we saw it debut on the web a few months back, many of us here at NWAS were off put by the drastic styling difference when compared to the more watered down variants of years prior. Nevertheless, its intense intakes, jutting vents & rather angular aero have grown on us, and open up a lot of great opportunities for accent wrap applications! (Hint, hint.)

The new wheel styling is a bit more intense, too. Although their directional design isn?t mirrored on either side, the bent, split spoke composition and highlighted edging lends a nice bit of automotive contrapposto & movement to the Gallardos accelerated aesthetics.

As far as the back end goes, it?s pretty similar to the previous model aside from some tweaks to the diffuser with the addition of more fins, and some new body lines that split the grill. Definitely more angular and shapely than the rectangular rear of the 2012 Gallardo, and pairs nicely with the fanged inlets up front.

NorthWest Auto Salon 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo New Car Detail Full Frontal Clear Bra Protection

Braving the slick parking lot & potentially snowy weather ahead of us, we pulled the Gallardo out into the cold winters night for one last look before heading off towards the drop point.

It might be sad for some to see the Gallardo go, but it only means more room in the Lambo lineup for faster & crazier things.

Special Needs Parenting Changes Relationships | Different Dream

Jan 16, 2013 Posted by Jolene on Jan 16, 2013 in Family Life, Featured Articles | 2 comments

Special needs parenting can be very hard on relationships. You name the relationship?spouse, friends, co-workers, our typical kids?special needs parenting impacts it. In today,s post, guest blogger Michelle Selent shares the frustrating changes in relationships after she and her husband adopted two daughters with fetal alcohol syndrome.

Changing Relationships

This morning?s post has been on my heart for quite some time now. Many times I have felt the Lord stop my fingers from typing because my heart was just not in the right place. Things get muddled in the pool of hurt and a lack of understanding, so I waited for the Holy Spirit to make things more clear.

One of the biggest adjustments that has come from our adoption journey has been that every single relationship we have or had changed. Some for the worse and some for the better and some new relationships came into play as well.

Changing Responsibilities

As a large family and a special needs family at that, maintaining friendships is hard. Harder than I ever imagined it would be. I know for us personally our parental responsibilities became so great, that I honestly didn?t have, and often times still don?t have, a lot left over. So I am sure that plays a huge role in relationship disintegration.

I am seeking God right now about how to find friendship and community again. I desperately miss doing life with others. Feeling a part and being included in relationships outside our family.

Changing Challenges

Honestly the girls neurological issues make it challenging. It is hard to participate in things with them when you know they struggle with impulse control and cause and effect. With my boys I used to help out in the church office, I could take them with me knowing they would listen to me and behave appropriately. Our childcare support system is minimal at best. So I am waiting on the Lord to help me figure things out. Maybe this is just for a season or maybe I need to learn some more skills or maybe God will help us find a better support system.

Changing Prayers

There is an awful ache in my heart to feel connected. Please Lord Jesus help me find friendship. Help me find where I fit with where I am at right now. In your precious faithful name I pray.

How Has Special Needs Parenting Changed Your Relationships?
