#Business Estate Planning

Just tripped and fell into a what-if scenario:

"What if Jonathan really had caught up to Dracula in Piccadilly and killed him in the street?"

Head lopped off. Kukri through the chest. The 'murder victim' turns to dust in full view of the gawking crowd. Then what? Then what??

Piccadilly Police: "So this man beheaded and impaled an aristocrat in the middle of the street."

Witnesses: "He did."

Piccadilly Police: "And the body..?"

Witnesses: "Crumbled into that pile of dust."

Piccadilly Police: "..."

Witnesses: "..."

Piccadilly Police: "...So has he named which magician he's working for or--?"

Witnesses: "No, he's just been busy kicking the dust into the horse dung piles in the gutter."

Of course, this is the best case scenario sillytimes version. Serious version? Jonathan only manages half of the process before some Good Samaritans tackle him; and likely get cut in the process. I bet he could chop Dracula's head off, but not manage the heart-piercing in time. He gets dragged off to jail. The Count's two pieces get taken to the morgue. And now Van Helsing, the Suitors, and Mina are all on a ticking deadline to stake Dracula's heart before sundown with Important Witnesses present to prove Jonathan's innocence and sanity in the slaying...

And if and when that happens?

That means the Drac Attack Pack are responsible for bringing the reality of vampires into the public awareness.

So.

Surprise, everyone!

Imagine the can of worms that would open around them, around the whole concept. Their original plan to head to Castle Dracula to end the Brides gets a LOT of extra tagalong company. Photographers are there. Ditto shady government sorts who, of course, are eager to investigate a way to turn vampirism into a benefit to the Crown. The Drac Attack Pack would be swamped with sensationalism. It'd be a circus.

Which all adds up to a belated understanding for me about just why Dracula had to get away from them in Piccadilly. If he had been caught and killed? God. What a mess it'd be.

I’m in violation (maybe)

   I spent quite a while on the phone with the Motor Vehicle Admin yesterday one the subject of my late father’s car. He had signed the title over to me after (reluctantly) accepting that he couldn’t drive any more. However, I didn’t know what to actually DO about that to finalize it with MVA. Then, the next month, he ended up in the hospital and passed away. In the pressure and hustle of taking care of EVERYTHING for my house, his house, the hospital, his finances, our farm, two kids, and so on - the car issue fell completely out of my mind.

   Then I (technically HE got it, but I continue to monitor his email) got an email notice for updating registration, along with a snippy notice that there was a problem. Apparently, they noticed (16 months late) that he was dead. 

   Well. Kiss me on the forehead, I guess. (sardonic)

After quite a while on hold, two trips through the automatic phone menu, and two human MVA folks, I ended up with an appointment for this morning at my local office. Also a splendid headache and some chest pains. This morning I woke up my heart literally thudding in my chest. Honestly, the folks at the local MVA office are head and shoulder above the ones in the state office when it comes to getting stuff done and being helpful. Other that That Thing with Evelyn last year, they’ve always been unusually nice. I have just -  come to DREAD these estate details*

   I drove up there trying very hard to listen to the radio and not think. The guy at the main check-in desk was brisk and friendly. I literally didn’t even get completely seated in the waiting area before my number was called (first appointment of the morning!). The lady behind the desk was quite stern at first, then unbent enough to smile at me and josh a bit. The car will need an inspection (oh, dear), but all the paperwork bullpucky is done and the inspection can be done anytime in the next 30 days. I’ll probably let my husband handle that part.

   I took my Dreaded List to the appointment with me, and nervously asked her what to do about the other vehicle, a wrecked truck. We still have it properly registered and insured, but it will certainly not ever run again, and I’d like to just turn in the tags. She explained the process for that to me, and I picked up a form (of course there’s a form!) on the way out the door.

   Whoooo. I have plenty of other things to do today. But that feels like a Big thing off the list, and I’m going to take a moment to be grateful. And scroll Tumblr. Thanks again to whoever taught me to use Ublock to block ‘elements’, because there’s a wacky little thing on the side of my dash that I don’t want to see. I have, I must say, the BEST followers.

* Also got a note two days ago that we owed $21 extra to the state for taxes for 2022. Jeeeez Holy Hypotenuse Christ

Barriers in Your Business

If your business is not where you want it to be, it is because one or more barriers are keeping you from achieving this new level of success. Many business owners feel stuck at one point or another, but they don't take the time or have the perspective to determine the cause of the gridlock.

If you know a more-successful business is in your grasp and want to breakthrough, here are 5 steps you can take to begin to remove those barriers:

Step 1: Know Where You Are Going

It is difficult to determine the obstacles if you don't even know where you are going. Is your goal to sell x number of units or increase your income by y? Is it to achieve a certain level of sales that results in an award? Is it being able to afford the dream vacation you have always wanted? What is your expectation for success?

Start by writing down the end goal or goals. Don't go crazy - just start with a maximum of three goals.

Step 2: What Is your Current Status?

This helps you determine how far you need to go. If success if just around the corner, a tweak or two or a focused period of sales focus might help you break through. However, if you are at the beginning of the journey, then you are going to need a prolonged action plan.

Step 3: What Does the Path to Your Goal Look Like?

Let's look at some examples at this point:

BUSINESS #1

Goal: 30 sales per year Current Status: 20 sales per year. This business needs to increase their sales by 50% in order to achieve their goal. Path Forward: They have determined their best way to get from current status to goal is to ramp up their communication with their past clients for new business and referrals. This agent does not currently run any campaigns for their past clients so adding a monthly mailing campaign to the 250 people in past client database should definitely have impact. In addition, they are adding a client appreciation event. Business Needs:

Monthly Mailing Campaign to database of 250 past clients including templates, research, print and mail capability

Client Appreciation Event including plan, event venue, menu, system of invitation, RSVP, program, etc.

BUSINESS #2

Goal: $300,000 gross income Current Status: $250,000 gross income for 2023. This business needs to increase income by 20%. Path Forward: They have determined the best way to get there is to maintain the current campaigns, but add a lead generation campaign to get a few more transactions. They are going to send letters to neighborhoods that have seen homes sell very quickly. Business Needs:

Letter content that can be updated per neighborhood

Preprinted letterhead and envelopes

Postage

BUSINESS #3

Goal: Dominate a neighborhood Current Status: Have periodic sales in the neighborhood, but are not the go-to agent. The agent is receiving some of the sales, but to dominate, 30% or more of all sales would need to go to the agent. Path Forward: In order to dominate, the agent needs to be more visible. There are only two ways to do that - time or money. The agent can spend their time by holding open houses, helping host community garage sales, generating content on a community social media pages, creating local videos, hosting community events OR they can spend their money on a community-specific mailing campaign - or both! Business Needs:

A time- or money-based campaign

Step 4: Identify the Barriers

Now that the needs from point A to point B have been established, now it is time to identify the barriers and see if there is a way to overcome the barrier, is there another path forward that avoids the barrier, or is the goal not achievable with the path and barriers? For example:

Big Sur, California is no stranger to landslides and bridge damage that cuts off that community. In 2017, there were months in which the only way in or out was to take a hike through the woods. If you wanted to go to Big Sur, there were two big barriers to you getting there. Accessing via sea was also not possible due to the cliffs. If one is not an apt hiker and able to carry in one's supplies, then that is a barrier that is insurmountable and a new destination should be chosen.

With that, let's take another look at those businesses.

BUSINESS #1 needs to develop a Monthly Mailing Campaign for their past client database and will be adding a Client Appreciation Event. After doing some digging, the agent determines that having a company take care of the entire campaign including research, stats, printing, and mailing, will cost about $1000 per month. The agent is not tech- or research-savvy, so it is easy for him to make the decision to make that investment. It is hands-off and the materials are high-impact. He has determined there are no barriers here because he is surrendering and has the funds for this investment.

As for the Client Appreciation Event, he has identified a barrier. He can't figure out an event that will appeal to all of his past clients. He has young families as well as seniors who won't go out at night and busy retirees. He is willing to make an investment, but he wants to use his time or money wisely. The barrier is that there isn't a one-size-fits-all event!

That is - until he talks to his business strategist. She recommends an out-of-the-box solution to focus an appreciation event around PETS! Most of his clients have a dog or a cat. Therefore, he opts for a pet-friendly holiday photo shoot! Barrier overcome!

BUSINESS #2 has determined they will be sending letters to neighborhoods that have seen very fast sales. They need letter content that can be updated per neighborhood situation. They had AI create a letter that they are going to edit. They need to get some letterhead and envelopes printed and have an estimate from a local printout, so mark another task off that list. Their barrier is they don't know how they are going to get addresses and print labels - that is their biggest barrier to implementing this campaign.

How many times have we run into a situation like this - we don't know how to do one aspect of a big project and it stops us from making forward progress?

Is this a barrier that can be overcome? Of course! They can:

See if there is someone in the office that knows how to do this or can do it for them.

Can someone at the company they are using to print the letterhead help or provide them with a resource?

What about a title company?

This barrier can be overcome! Now let's look at...

BUSINESS #3 wants to dominate the neighborhood and will need to implement a time- or money-based campaign to get there. Now, unlike Business #1, they don't have cash for someone else to handle a mail-based campaign and they don't have the tech skills to do it on their own. Lack of money is a barrier. Therefore, we need to see if we can take the time path to get there.

This agent has determined that, as a former teacher, providing content in front of a class is a skill they can definitely utilize. They are going to develop a number of classes on everything from first time homebuyers, buying an investment property, downsizing, getting your home ready for sale, creating great curb appeal, and a state of the market class. This plus holding open houses and serving on several of the more-fun-focused HOA committees is the way this agent is going to connect.

Another barrier conquered!

Step 5: Implement!

Now that you have identified barriers and how you might overcome them, there is no holding you back! Don't be afraid to do this exercise multiple times as you tweak your goals and determine additional paths for achievement. Constant improvement will get you there!

Note: Transition sentence – Now that we've covered navigating contracts and agreements with the help of a skilled attorney by your side…

Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Now that you have a knowledgeable legal ally in the form of a business lawyer in North Ogden, Utah, let's explore how you can safeguard your valuable intellectual property. Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, designs, logos, brand names, and artistic works. These assets are often critical to the success and growth of your business. To protect your intellectual property from unauthorized use or theft, it is crucial to take proactive steps with the guidance of a skilled attorney.

Your business lawyer in North Ogden, Utah will help you identify and understand the different types of intellectual property protection available to you. They will guide you through the process of obtaining patents for any innovative products or processes unique to your business. Trademarks play an essential role in protecting your brand identity and reputation.

In addition to patents and trademarks, copyrights also provide vital protection for creative works such as literature, music, software code, and architectural designs.

Transitioning into the subsequent section about 'handling employment issues and disputes,' it is important to note that maintaining a strong legal foundation goes beyond protecting your intellectual property alone. Employment issues can arise within any organization and could potentially lead to disputes if not handled properly. With the assistance of a skilled business lawyer in North Ogden, Utah by your side throughout every step of this process…

Handling employment issues and disputes is just one aspect of managing a successful business. In the next section about resolving business disputes through mediation or litigation, we'll discuss how having a skilled attorney by your side can help navigate through potentially contentious situations while safeguarding the reputation and growth of your business.

Resolving business disputes can be achieved through either mediation or litigation, providing a path to amicable resolution or formal legal action. When facing a business dispute in North Ogden, Utah, it is crucial to consult with a skilled business lawyer who specializes in resolving such issues. A business lawyer in North Ogden, Utah can guide you through the process and help determine the most appropriate approach for your specific situation.

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method that involves a neutral third party facilitating negotiations between the disputing parties. It focuses on finding common ground and reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement. Mediation can often be a more cost-effective and time-efficient way to resolve disputes compared to traditional litigation. With the assistance of an experienced business lawyer, you can navigate through mediation proceedings and work towards finding a solution that best protects your interests.

In some cases, however, litigation may be necessary to resolve complex or contentious business disputes. Litigation involves taking legal action by filing a lawsuit in court. This formal process allows for thorough examination of evidence and arguments presented by both parties before a judge or jury. A knowledgeable business lawyer in North Ogden, Utah can effectively represent your interests throughout the litigation process, ensuring that your rights are protected and advocating for the best possible outcome.

Transition: Once you have resolved your business dispute through mediation or litigation with the guidance of a skilled attorney specializing in this area of law, it is essential to ensure compliance with local and state laws…

Ensuring Compliance with Local and State Laws

Ensuring compliance with local and state laws is essential for maintaining a strong legal standing for your business.

Cassian Andor is so mother

[vmures]

I didn't have a chance to add this when I reblogged yesterday. But here are the three key documents you will need not just for relationship protection, but also for yourself if you are single and estranged from your family of origin.

Durable Power of Attorney

This is a document that lets you designate a person to handle your financial and healthcare matters. This is vital if you do not want your family stepping in and making any choices.

Advanced Health Directive (sometimes called a living will)

This is similar to the Durable Power of Attorney, but is focused entirely on medical care and decisions. It allows you to outline what you want in case of various things and name a person to handle all these things should you become unable to do so yourself for any reason. This is also a vital document if you do not want your family making any decisions because if you are single or your relationship is not recognized, they will reach out to your biological next of kin.

Last Will and Testament (or simply Will)

This is the document you want to have in place should you not want family making any decisions about what happens to your body and your possessions after you die. Even if you are extremely poor like myself, it's good to have a simple will in place so that you can trust that what you want done post death will happen the way you want it, including making sure that you are memorialized with the correct name.

When my father died, the first thing I did was make sure I had these documents because I do not trust my mother at all and haven't spoken to her in over 20 years for many reasons. I encourage everyone regardless of sexuality to have these documents, but particularly LGBTQUIA+ folks who are estranged from their families.

Here is a lovely law firm that offers national legal resources for LGBTQUIA+ folks:

Before January 2025:

If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!

Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.

Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.
