Great! I’m a Trustee – Wait . . . I’m a Trustee?

“To be trusted is a greater compliement than being loved.” 
                     ~ George MacDonald

Being appointed as trustee is a very real demonstration that you are seen to be trustworthy, that you have the judgment and ability to handle responsibility.  It is a great compliment – And make no mistake, being a trustee is also a great responsibility.  A trustee holds legal title to property for someone else – the beneficiary.

“REenACTment”..and loving every minute of it!

For Ann Cope Anderson, life has been a series of events not completely out of the ordinary. As a local girl out of high school, she took a job with the family business, married, had kids, ultimately found herself a single mom of two boys, several years apart as well as patching together a trendy multi-generational household with her grandmother, “Precious”.

Growth versus Saving Retirement

Very few people could “save” enough for retirement with today’s long life expectancies and earlier retirements.  If you just “save” – yet do not have growth that exceeds both income taxes and inflation, you are more likely to run out of money.
