Estate Planning for New Parents

My wife and I are expecting our third child any day now, so when I saw Erik Canter?s post over at Forbes.com on financial and estate planning for new parents it caught my attention. ?It is generally a good article, with solid advice. ?He suggests that new parents update their estate plans, which includes their Wills and/or their Revocable Trust documents, powers of attorney and living wills, and any beneficiary designations for retirement accounts and life insurance. ?He also suggests that parents re-evaluate life insurance coverage, review the family budget, and begin planning for college expenses. ?These are all important steps for new parents.

However, there is one critical error in Erik?s advice. ?He appears to suggest that parents should name their child (or children) as a beneficiary of life insurance and retirement benefits directly, which is almost always a terrible idea. ?This is because minors are not allowed to manage their own property, and if on the parent?s death a minor child is designated to receive insurance proceeds or retirement benefits directly, a Court will have to appoint a Guardian of the Estate to hold the property for the child until adulthood. ?

Having a Guardian of the Estate appointed requires formal legal proceedings which will produce additional legal fees (usually well in excess of the cost of planning to prevent the situation). ?Also, the time it takes to obtain an appointment of a Guardian of the Estate may cause delay in the distribution of funds which are often needed for the child?s immediate care. ?In addition, in Pennsylvania, a surviving parent may not be appointed as sole Guardian of the Estate (i.e. a co-guardian is required).

Just as troubling, when a child turns eighteen the Guardian is legally required to distribute all of the property to the child directly. ?I think that generally speaking, teenagers do not have the life or financial skills required to manage significant wealth. ?Also, if life insurance was intended to provide for the child?s higher education, distributing the proceeds (perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars or more) at age eighteen may have the exact opposite effect.

It is far more advisable to name a trust for the child as the beneficiary. ?The trust can be established in the parent?s Will, as part of a Revocable Trust, or even as a stand-alone document. ?Using a trust reduces the chance that a Guardian of the Estate will need to be appointed and allows parents to ensure a trusted adult will have control of a child?s inheritance until the child is old enough and mature enough to handle the responsibility. ?

It is very important for parents to update their estate plans when they have a child, and beneficiary designations are critical components of a comprehensive estate plan. ?That is why parents should make sure their designations name trusts for their minor children as the beneficiaries, and never as the beneficiaries directly.

Two arrested in case of kidnapped Tennessee mother, daughters

TUPELO, Miss./NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Reuters) - The wife of a man suspected of kidnapping a Tennessee mother and her three daughters has admitted she drove them to a house in Mississippi where the bodies of the mother and oldest daughter were later found, authorities said on Tuesday.

Teresa Mayes, wife of Adam Mayes, was arrested Sunday along with his mother, Mary Mayes. Both are in Hardeman County Jail in Tennessee.

Meanwhile, police in two states and the FBI continued a manhunt for Adam Mayes, 35, who is suspected of taking the two surviving daughters with him on the run.

Jo Ann Bain, 31, and her oldest daughter, Adrienne, 14, were dead, and the two younger Bain girls, Alexandria, 12, and Kyliyah, 8, were believed held by Mayes. Investigators have described him as a family friend or an uncle figure to the girls.

In an interview with Reuters, Teresa Mayes' sister Bobbi Booth said Teresa told her on Saturday that Adam Mayes had killed Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain.

Booth said she immediately contacted the Hardeman County sheriff's department. Investigators told her they knew everything and Teresa Mayes was not a suspect. Booth said she believes her sister, who is mentally challenged, is not at fault.

"My sister does not have sense enough to do what they're accusing her of," Booth said, describing Teresa as a caring woman who loves children but is "mentally slow."

Authorities believe Adam Mayes is still in north Mississippi and they are focusing their search there, said FBI spokesman Joel Siskovic. "Law enforcement agencies all believe they are alive (and) that they are with him. Our primary goal is their recovery," Siskovic said.

"That part of north Mississippi is pretty rural, it's rough terrain. There are locations back there that only people who have been there know, so we're digging through a lot of that territory, checking for signs that someone has been there."

Teresa Mayes, 31, has been charged with four counts of especially aggravated kidnapping and held on a $500,000 bond, said Hardeman County Circuit Court Clerk Linda Fulghum.

Adam Mayes' mother Mary, 65, has been charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit especially aggravated kidnapping and held on $300,000 bond, the clerk said.

The two were arrested late on Sunday in Union County, Mississippi, and transported across the state line to Hardeman County, where they were booked early on Monday, said Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards.

"We developed information that led us to believe that they were a part of it," he said.

An affidavit filed with the Hardeman County Court said Teresa Mayes told agents of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation she drove the victims from Hardeman County, Tennessee, to Union County, Mississippi.

Both Teresa and Mary Mayes told investigators they saw Adam Mayes digging in the backyard in Mississippi on April 27, the day of the disappearance. Neither woman appeared to know the whereabouts of Mayes or the two Bain children, Edwards said.

Bain's husband reported the four missing from their rural Tennessee home on April 27. Mayes, who was at their home to help them move to Arizona, was quickly identified as a suspect.

Booth said that she first met the Mayes family when she and her sister were living in Florida with their parents. Adam Mayes courted her sister and the two married around 2000, Booth said.

Almost immediately Adam Mayes forbade his wife to maintain contact with her, she said. Mayes abused drugs and alcohol and kept Teresa Mayes around mainly because she cared for his ailing father.

"I seen him (Adam Mayes) in October 2001 ... and it was the same old thing, acting stupid, not wanting to take a bath, wanting to get high," said Booth. "He was abusive with my sister, but you could tell even then she was scared of him."

The first time the two sisters had spoken in more than a decade was when Teresa Mayes called Booth on Thursday. At first the conversation was casual but by Saturday Mayes told Booth that her husband had committed the murders.

Booth said Adam Mayes used to beat her sister. She said he apparently sold his motorcycle before the Bain family's disappearance and may have used the money to buy a used car and flee the area.

Teresa Mayes told Booth she thought Jo Ann Bain was having an affair with Adam Mayes.

Tennessee authorities have described Teresa Mayes as Adam Mayes' ex-wife, but Booth said she was not aware of a divorce and they were still living together.

Can 'Dark Knight Rises' Beat 'The Avengers' Debut?

The Weekly Rising investigates how the superhero box-office returns will measure up.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

In the battle of the summer superhero blockbusters, journalists and box-office analysts pitched the story as "The Avengers" versus "The Dark Knight Rises." Could Marvel's crazy experiment pay off? Would it be enough to stop Batman from owning the box office once again? Most had "The Dark Knight Rises" pegged to repeat the magic that was 2008's "The Dark Knight" and the phenomenon that followed, but that was before this past weekend.

When the underdog in a war for box-office supremacy takes in $207.1 million during its opening weekend, the tide tends to shift in its favor. As soon as "The Avengers" finished its record-smashing debut, "The Dark Knight Rises" became the underdog, a shoo-in for second place.

But what happened to seemingly damn Christopher Nolan's final Batman movie to runner-up status?

The Dark Knight
When the follow-up to "Batman Begins" hit theaters in July 2008, it was a cultural event. Not only had expectations been so high for the sequel of the first great Batman movie, but the introduction of the Joker and Heath Ledger's untimely passing made the film a must-watch. Everyone was talking about it. Not only had it captured the world's headlines, but critics praised it as something more than a superhero movie. It was the perfect storm of movie buildup. Thankfully, tragedy has not struck the release of "The Dark Knight Rises," but without the headlines, it doesn't have as much momentum as its predecessor did heading into July.

"The Avengers" Is New
People have simply never seen superheroes from different films come together to fight in a single crossover movie. That's something new, and new will always sell. While that isn't to say that "The Dark Knight Rises" isn't new, it certainly doesn't mix up the superhero genre as much as "The Avengers." Comparing the two isn't even necessarily a fair fight. Marvel had the audience invest in five movies over the course of four years, eventually leading up to an ultimate sequel for each separate franchise. Two previous Nolan films exist and came out over the course of seven years. Checking out "The Avengers" simply has a higher return rate.

3-D
The surcharge for the added dimension will likely be the death knell for "The Dark Knight Rises." Each filled seat for "The Avengers" in 3-D is an automatic advantage. This seems especially significant when you learn that 3-D screenings accounted for 52 percent of the opening-weekend gross for Marvel and Disney. The added fee was also a strong factor in driving "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" to its then-record total.

Fun
Despite both being "superhero movies," "The Avengers" and "The Dark Knight Rises" are two very different films. As I discussed in last week's column, though the films feature crime fighters, they strike very different tones and attempt two very different things. "The Avengers" had crowds cheering in triumph. Its humor became an essential part of its overall entertainment value. Nolan's Batman trilogy has thus far gone for something very different. They comment on current events. There isn't always a happy ending, usually at best the glimmer of hope. "The Dark Knight Rises" may be a film people return to over a long box-office run, but "The Avengers" is the one they turn out in droves for.

Why That's OK
But here's the kicker: None of this really matters. Both films earned or will earn all our salaries just minutes after their midnight releases, and their profitability was never really in question. Christopher Nolan will work again. Joss Whedon even healed some of the "John Carter" wounds at Disney. All that matters is that we will get to see both within a few months of each other. With that in mind, how much is there really to worry about?

Which movie do you think will come out on top? Let us know in the comments below or tweet me @KPSull!
