Land trust aims to create affordable housing

Submitted Wednesday July 26, 2005

SARASOTA COUNTY -- An idea for creating and preserving affordable housing that, so far, has scarcely been used in Florida's soaring real estate markets could take root here this fall.

A new, nonprofit trust would perpetually own land on which houses priced for moderate-income families are built or remodeled. It would impose price controls on those homes for the initial sale and every sale thereafter.

The land trust -- which is being formed at the suggestion of the County Commission -- is intended to significantly lower home prices for educators, nurses, police and other workers who are finding housing costs escalating out of their reach. As of this spring, the median sales price of a home in the Sarasota-Bradenton market hit an all-time high of $316,600 -- a 31 percent jump from a year earlier.

Submitted Wednesday June 7, 2005

Investing in your child's future with a Child Trust Fund (CTF) could see you almost £7,000 better off over an 18-year term.

This statement comes from price comparison website moneysupermarket.com, which compared children's savings accounts with CTFs to see which offered the best returns.

The website found that an initial investment of £250 with additional payments of £100 per month in a Nationwide BS CTF account with a six per cent AER gave an account value of £40,025.57 after 18 years.

Nationwide's Smart child savings account saw the same investment drop in value to £33,341.34 - a difference of £6,684.22.

Happy trails: Trust group looking to string a set of pathway 'pearls' along the waterfront

Submitted Wednesday May 13, 2005

EUREKA -- Just past the mall and mere seconds off U.S. Highway 101, sits a little-known gem of bayside expanse just waiting to be discovered. And, members of the Trails Trust of Humboldt Bay are working to make that happen.

The trust was formed in July 2004 to champion the development of trails across the county and to support the Eureka Trails Committee, which was formed by the city five years earlier.

"A group of us realized the need for an advocating support arm of the committee," said Connie Miller, a trust member and former city councilwoman.

At a press conference Wednesday, with the future Truesdale trail head site acting as a scenic backdrop, several members of the trust said they are now reaching out to the community to voice their support -- financial and otherwise -- for trail development.

$1.2 MILLION: Teens given drugs for sex will have money to recover. Troubled teenagers who got roped into a drug and sex trafficking ring at a local businessman's home may be able to turn their lives around with the help of a $1.2 million trust established Tuesday.

Funding A Revocable Living Trust With Life Insurance

Submitted Wednesday April 18, 2005

What is a Revocable Living Trust?

* It is a legal entity that can own, manage and distribute the assets placed in it.
* It is set up during your lifetime with you acting as the trustee.
* It may be amended or revoked by you at any time while you are alive.
* It becomes irrevocable at your death and a successor trustee named by you in the trust instrument carries out its terms.

How Does It Work?
During your lifetime you can add various assets to the trust, manage them and remove them at your discretion. You can also leave assets to the trust in your will. Life insurance is an asset that can be the main or even sole funding source for a revocable living trust. The trust owns and is the beneficiary of one or more policies on your life. When you die, the policy proceeds are paid into the trust, which will use them for the benefit of the person or persons you have named in the trust instrument. This instrument also spells out the terms under which the successor trustee must operate in managing the trust.

When Stephen Fuller became Karori Wildlife Sanctuary's first general manager his lounge doubled as the trust's office.

There was no sanctuary, no money and not much of anything else – except a passion to get native birds back in Wellington city.

It was 1993, and a steering group had been established to look at whether native birds could be attracted to the city by fencing off a bush area and keeping out predators.

After a study found that the idea was feasible, the steering group consulted the community and found widespread support. It then went to Wellington City Council and asked it to form a trust to turn the idea into a reality.

Is the trust fund real? It had better be, or bonds are worthless

Submitted Wednesday April 12, 2005

Americans benefit greatly from the perception that U.S. Treasury bonds are the safest investment in the world. This perception permits the United States to pay low interest rates, in its own currency, on the trillions of dollars it has borrowed to finance budget deficits. President Bush is taking a large risk when he attempts to gain political advantage by challenging the perceived safety of his country's bonds.

The president on Tuesday called into question the value of government bonds when he visited the Bureau of the Public Debt in Parkersburg, W.Va. He used a filing cabinet containing $1.7 trillion in bonds as a prop in his campaign for private Social Security accounts. The bonds represent money owed to the Social Security system by the federal government; they will be redeemed starting in 2017, when the system's obligations begin to exceed its income.
