Re: UBPN needs to hear from you
<t>Here's my take:<br/> <br/> 1) After a bpi occurs what should parents be told?<br/> <br/> They should be told exactly what happened, how it happened, what to expect and what to do over the next several weeks & months. This information needs to be discussed immediately, calmly and reassuringly....

Re: need to vent....
<t>Ginne,<br/> <br/> I share your anger with your sister. She is being very insensitive when she suggests that you "get over it". This is a lifelong disability, one that constantly reminds us of the pain and sorrow when something devastating happens to our children. Sure, there are worse things out ...

Re: TRUSTS/STRUCTURED SETTLEMENTS
<t>Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse the two issues. With "Structured Settlements", Variable Annuities typically cannot be used, as the terms dictated by the courts do not allow for the use of Variable products. So the advice you were given is correct. This is part of the reason that I do not care for...

Re: TRUSTS/STRUCTURED SETTLEMENTS
<t>Dear guest,<br/> <br/> Being an investment manager, I couldn't agree with you more about the value of having an experienced advisor. <br/> <br/> Now, on the Annuity. There are variable annuities that can allow you to fully take advantage of the market, using tools like dollar cost averaging, true...

Re: TRUSTS/STRUCTURED SETTLEMENTS
<t>Claudia,<br/> <br/> I can understand the conservative nature of the judges in these cases. Having had to deal with a very conservative judge down here, they are just looking out for the child. What they don't understand is that most parents who go through BPI with their child have an unusually hi...

Re: TRUSTS/STRUCTURED SETTLEMENTS
<t>I'll keep it very basic:<br/> <br/> A "Structured Settlement" is a settlement where you, the parent, have very little control. The settlement is "structured" by the terms of the distribution of the money. <br/> <br/> A Trust is a legal tool used to benefit a person for specific purposes, yet the ...
