Then, Chuck gave us the Weird Financial News. A collection of Weird, Bizzarre and otherwise strange things that people do for with and about money.
Warren Baker of Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro in Braintree, Mass. joined us for the “State of Your Estate” feature on Your Money Radio, discussed trusts and what they are for and how they are used. Baker noted that a trust is actually an "artificial person," created with a specific lifespan and charged with certain jobs to do and tasks to complete.
Chuck was next with the Financial Housekeeping Tip of the Week. This is where he tells you what he considers the most essential of financial chores. Today Chuck told us about a website called better-endings.org Chuck urges us to go to this site and look for a free book that they offer called, "Your Way". It is a plain-language guide created to help you stay in charge of the medical care you receive. How to make your wishes known for how you want your eventual long term care to be handled.
