Link to the FDIC Website
7/23/08
With the FDIC taking over some prominent banks in recent weeks, many of our clients
have asked about how much coverage they are entitled to when the account is owned
by a trust. HERE IS ANOTHER REASON TO HAVE A LIVING TRUST! Your account is covered
for $100,000 for each qualified beneficiary under your revocable living trust. So
if you have three children as your beneficiaries in your trust, and the trust owns
the account, your coverage is $300,000. If you and your spouse have three children
as beneficiaries in your trust and the trust owns the account, the beneficiaries
are counted for each spouse and the coverage now goes up to $600,000. Here is a
link that you may find useful in determining coverage in your particular situation.

Anderson, Dorn & Rader, Ltd. Offer a Revolutionary
NEW Estate Planning Method
RENO, NV- Traditional "bare bones" estate planning has focused primarily on what happens after death and usually passes on financial wealth outright with no conditions or safeguards. Today's
American families are realizing that these outdated, traditional estate planning methods are failing them
and their families, and they are wanting a more holistic approach to deal with today's real life issues.
Those issues include divorce (especially their children's divorces), second marriages after the death of
a spouse, creditor concerns and passing on family traditions and values that have been overlooked in
traditional estate planning. Any one of these can wipe-out an entire inheritance in one generation.
