Dependent children require resources for health, maintenance, support and education. Some support is provided through guidance while other support requires money. Parents must provide both but what happens if the parents aren't there to provide either? The first step is crucial: have reasonable life insurance.
Could you imagine raising someone else's child if the parents left no money? Most current statistics state raising a child to the age of 18 costs $250,000. Costs are higher in the earlier years due to doctor visits, diapers and daycare. On the back end, higher education could require additional money beyond age 18.
Even if only one parent is gone can the remaining parent alone afford mortgage payments, taxes, utilities and the costs of raising children?
What would the quality of life be for the surviving parent?
A family with one young child should consider having $500,000 in coverage.
What are your life insurance options? Three common forms are term, universal and whole life. Universal and whole life insurances are more expensive because they never terminate if you properly pay your premiums. Part of the premiums builds cash value, which one can borrow against or withdraw.
For many families term insurance is the best option because it is much cheaper and ends when needs for life insurance often diminish. It does not continue indefinitely nor does it build any cash value. If the term is 20 years, you pay the same premium for 20 years and after 20 years the policy ends.
How much does term insurance cost? $500,000 of coverage for a healthy, non-smoking parent is often less than $40/month.
It's a good idea to have coverage on a stay-at-home spouse to help cover child-care costs and future retirement earnings if that parent were to return to work when dependent children are older.
Step two is naming legal guardians for your children. Otherwise a court is left to decide who will raise your children. If you have a valid Will naming guardians, a court still appoints your children's guardians but a court will almost always honor your request unless a valid reason is provided to the court to consider otherwise.
In addition to naming guardians a last will and testament can indicate distribution terms for your assets and appoint people to handle your estate. Wills can be created online or by attorneys and can cost anywhere between $100-$1000, depending on the attorney, your state and the complexity of your estate.
The third step is creating a trust. While a will is just a piece of paper with distribution and guardian instructions, a trust can be pictured as a box to hold assets for beneficiaries long after the parents pass until children are mature enough to manage money (from the sale of a primary residence, life insurance and other assets).
Some statistics show beneficiaries, regardless of age, spend their inheritance within two years. With a trust, beneficiaries can be forced to wait until predetermined ages before receiving their inheritance. If they need money prior to that age for reasonable health, education, maintenance or support needs, they may make a formal request to the acting trustee who says "yes" or "no", based on how they think you would have responded.
It is this estate planner's opinion that even age 25 is too young to receive money without any guidance because many children graduate from college at age 22 or 23. If a graduate knew in two years he or she would be receiving a decent sum of money, that child might not pursue and develop a career with the same intensity as a child not expecting to receive a sum of money in the near future.
Example: At age 30, beneficiaries can receive ¼ of their inheritance with no strings attached. At age 35, beneficiaries receive another ¼ and perhaps the remainder at age 40. Hopefully if the first ¼ is spent recklessly, they will be wiser the second and third time around.
Trusts can also maintain a residence for children and their appointed guardians until the children have finished school. This is very appealing for parents whose kids are entrenched in their school with their friends and if potential guardians don't have a large enough home without buying a new home.
For beneficiaries with special needs who receive disability income, trusts can hold distributions to those specific beneficiaries to avoid a disruption in government assistance.
A Will can create a trust, called a Testamentary Trust, which forms after you pass. The downside to Testamentary Trusts is they will not help your estate avoid the court process of probate, which is how the state ensures the wishes of your Will are carried out correctly and creditors are given an opportunity to make claims against your estate.
Depending on the state you live in, probate can delay the transfer of the estate by months or even years. Quite often attorneys are hired to assist with the probate process, which can increase the overall cost of the process.
A common and simple way to ensure any delay in your estate's transition is avoided is to create a Revocable Living Trust. Assets held by the trust avoid probate and can be distributed immediately once all debts have been settled. Living Trusts typically come with a Will called a Pour Over Will, which will name the guardians for children.
Living trusts can be found online or through an attorney. Costs average $500-$1500 though it's not uncommon for attorneys to charge up to $5000 for a living trust.
Begin by contacting multiple insurance agents. Research estate planning online to understand the basics and prepare yourself with questions for an estate planner. To find an estate planner ask for referrals from family, friends, your insurance agent or your financial adviser. If they have none to refer, a search on the Internet and a few phone calls should help you find someone affordable.
The most important thing to understand about estate planning is it is not a one-time event of signing documents and feeling safe. It is a process that periodically needs review and updating. Find a good planner you can afford who will ensure the estate planning process fulfills your needs.

Bad Credit and Refinancing
There is a lot of buzz about refinancing homes right now. Indeed it is a good time to do so, with interest rates being so low. But, what if you have bad credit? Can you still take advantage of the low interest rates in this most recent refi boom?
If you have a poor credit rating but still want to look into refinancing your mortgage but feel it's next to impossible, then read on. It might be difficult, and perhaps in the end, you will have to take several months or a year before you are ready to do it, but it is possible. And it may not take that long. There are some companies that will help you repair your credit to get it to a point that a lender will be comfortable with.
If your bad credit is due to medical issues, or you feel you have some other compelling reason for having credit issues, it's definitely worth a try to refinance with a big bank. You might be eligible for a government loan that does not look to heavily at credit score, rather will take into consideration your reasons for poor credit history as long as you're showing improved habits.
If you end up not qualifying for a government loan, don't despair. Search for a sub-prime lender. At present having sub-prime credit only indicates you will have to pay higher interest for your financing and is not a hurdle to refinancing your present mortgage ; it just means it'll cost more. Do not let your credit prevent you from making an effort to get the money you would like, many owners are embarrassed of their credit score and record. On occasion, everyone runs into a bad spot in life; poor credit issues are only 1 of those bad spots. And it's more common than you may think. If you have a lot of equity in your home, there may be banks that will work with you to help you get a portion of it out.
Because of the increased rates on sub-prime loans, it is important to search around and make sure you're getting the best deal. It's always advisable to go with a big bank rather than a small broker who can string you along for months before telling you he can't help you. You must search on the internet where you will come across many banks who are prepared to offer what you're looking for. Your first concern must be finding a right bank and to avoid typical mistakes while trying for mortgage. You have got to do a correct research and warily compare rates, terms, and other costs. To grasp more on ways to find the best bank and the way to avoid making terrible mistakes, search on the internet for sites providing valuable info on mortgage. There are a few poor credit loan finance selections for borrowers. The refinancing choice that you will be looking for if you want to dump a couple of your high interest credit card debts is a cash out home equity refinance.
This is the same as a debt consolidation arrangement and will let you drag money out from the equity you have in your house and employ for anything you want. You might wish to utilize the cash out for remodeling, a long holiday or merely to spend on goodies. But temper yourself in this. Remember the extra cost you had to pay for the loan because of your past poor credit decisions and try to make better ones with this money so you will not be in this boat again in the future. A more valuable use of the money would be to pay off all your debts and then enjoy the extra money and freedom you have each month as you don't have to worry about whether or not you'll be able to pay your bills.

A Secured Loan Broker Can Arrange Your Secured Loan For You
A secured loan as the name clearly states is only available to homeowners as the secured loan is secured on the equity of your property. If you are a homeowner a secured loan is a good way for you to obtain the funds you need, as secured loans have low rates of intest. Secured loan interest rates at present have interest rates starting at just over 8% APR for homeowners with a good credit rating and sufficient equity.
Equity is the difference between the outstanding balance of your mortgage and the value of your property. This means that if you have a property worth £200,000, and your mortgage balance is £90,000 your equity would be £110,000. There are no longer any 90%, 95% or 100% equity plans available now let alone the 125% plan. All this stopped when the recession started.
Nowadays the secured loan lenders only lend to a maximum LTV of 70% for self employed secured loan borrowera, and 80% for employed secured loan applicants.This means that based on the above example a self employed homeowner could borrow up to a maximum of £50,000 and an employed homeowner could in theory obtain a secured loan of up to £70,000. Some secured loan lenders no longer grant secured loans of as much as £70,000 although some still lend up to a maximum secured loan value of £100,000.
If your credit rating is poor it is still possible to obtain a bad credit loan but the maximum secured loan value is restricted to £25,000, and the LTV is likewise restricted to 60%-70% for light adverse and 50% if your credit rating is very poor.
I think that by now you must realize that there are many factors that affect your secured loan. Such things as whether you are self employed or not. What your credit rating is can affect the interest rate given. The available equity also influences what secured loan is available to you.
With such confusing choices the best way is to engage the help of a secured loan broker who can explain the secured loan process to you and give you a free no obligation quotation. If you are happy with the quotation and are certain that you can comfortably afford the repayments the secured loan broker can virtually do everyting for you.He will also be certain in his own mind that the secured loan repayments can be easily met.The general rule of thumb is that a secured loan lender takes 40% of gross income which must cover the mortgage payment, the secured loan payment, and any unconsolidated debt on loans, etc. Gross income is the income you receive before the deduction of tax and national insurance.
As secured loans are probably most commonly used as debt consolidation loans, repaying the secured loan will not normally present a problem as the debt consolidation loan saves a fortune every month by rolling all your debts on credit cards, etc. into one much lower interest monthly payment. Your secured loan broker can work out how much you will save every month after he carries out a credit check with your permission. The credit check will show a list of all your loans, credit cards, etc.which will enable the secured loan broker to work out how much you need to borrow for debt consolidation and how much it is costing every month.It is amazing how many people do not total up what they are paying out monthly and this is also where the secured loan broker comes in very handy.

Stop! Get Out of Debt Now!
Are you sick to death of having piles of bills to pay every month? Do you feel like every dollar you make is spent before you ever earned it? Some of the biggest problems in people's lives are as a result of money. Many people would benefit from a class on money management. Why this is not taught in our public school system is beyond me, but here is some advice to help you pay off debt systematically and successfully, so you can start enjoying your hard earned cash.
First, don't despair over it. Don't let it get you down. There is hope. It may take a while and you will have to learn to be disciplined, but you can do it. You have the power to get out of debt, you just need to make some changes.
Now, you need to get back in control of your finances. So, the first thing you need to do is make up a good budget. The best way to do this is to monitor your spending for one month. Figure out about how much you're spending on groceries, gasoline, savings, and household expenses. Come up with realistic figures for each of these categories. Next, gather together all of your statements for bills you're making payments on. You'll want to input this data in an excel spreadsheet, or some type of good budgeting software that will help you keep track of everything. Now that you have all of your debts in front of you, you'll want to record the amount owed, the minimum monthly payment and the interest rate. There are 2 ways to look at paying down debt. The first way has you paying off the items with higher interest rates first. This will allow you to pay less in interest overall, so it will cost less to pay off your bills. The other option is to pay off the bill with the largest minimum payment first. This would free up a larger chunk of money to put toward other bills sooner. The only time I really recommend this method is when you have a bill with a large amount of monthly payments that's already close to being paid off. For example, if you pay $300 every month for your car payment, and the total amount you owe is $1000, paying it off early gives you access to that $300 per month even sooner and can start making a larger dent in your other bill payments.
So, here's how you're going to do this. Once you've figured out all of your monthly expenses (using the minimum payments for all your debts) including a small budget for savings and fun, figure out how much you have left over. That amount is going to be applied to debt payoff. The entire amount will go toward one debt every month until that debt is paid off. Now, you have that amount, plus the minimum payment you were already paying on that debt to go toward the next bill. This continues until you have paid everything off. You can see how this will have a snowball effect and the more bills you pay off, the faster the rest will be paid. Here's an example (please keep in mind these figures are totally made up just to show how this works - the minimum payments probably don't match the balances):
Gross Monthly Income: $5,000 Household Expenses (including savings, groceries & fun money): $4000 Car Loan: $300 (total owed: $6,000) Visa: $150 (total owed $3,000) Mastercard: $50 (total owed $1,000) Student Loan $100 (total owed $3,000) Total minimum monthly debt payments (from above): $600 Total monthly expenses = $4600.
This means I have $400 left over every month that I can spend toward one debt. Let's say based on the interest rates of each debt and the amount owed, I decided to first focus on the Mastercard, then Student Loan, then Visa, and then the car loan.
On the first month I would pay the minimums on everything except the Mastercard. That lucky bill will get $450 ($50 is the minimum already budgeted + the $400 extra money we are spending toward bills) every month until it's paid off. In this case, it will be paid off in less than 3 months. After the mastercard is completely paid off, I'll now be able to pay $550 every month to the student loan ($100 already budgeted minimum payment + the $450 I was spending on the Mastercard). When the student loan is paid off in just a few months, I'll start paying $700 per month to my Visa card. After that's paid off, the car loan will get $1,000 a month until it's paid off. See how this works? I can now choose to keep this extra money to do with as I please (making sure to not get myself into a position of debt again), I can save all of it or a good portion of it each month to really help prepare for a rainy day, or I can put that amount or some of it toward my mortgage and get that debt paid off quicker top.
I can also do a combination of the 3. See the freedom you will have in just several short months of diligent work toward paying off your bills? Possibly, at this point you're thinking, but I have WAY more bills than that, and much less extra money each month to put toward bills. Remember, this was just an example to show you how it works. It WILL work with any budget (as long as you have a little positive cash flow). You can also make more available money by finding areas to spend less. Buy things on sale, go out to eat less, etc. In the end, even if you only start with $50 per month extra, this will still work. It may take you a little longer, but you'll see the same snowball effect as it gets going. In the end, you'll be glad you focused on it and got it done. It's much better to work hard for a few years at paying it off completely, then being stuck in the bondage of debt for the rest of your life. Remember there is hope and you CAN do it!
