DAL Law Firm: Keeping your estate plan private with a Revocable Living Trust

DAL Law Firm: Keeping your estate plan private with a Revocable Living Trust. Many people are surprised to learn that not all estate planning documents are private. In Washington, when someone passes away with a will, their will is filed with the court and becomes part of the public record. This means details about assets, beneficiaries, and distributions may be accessible to anyone looking for them.

Filmed in Portland, A Simple Machine is a feature film about a young man struggling under debt who “makes a series of radically frugal lifestyle choices without telling his girlfriend that he’s going to fix up an old bike and go off the grid,” according to the film’s synopsis.

Washington Football Facing Must-Win Game With Trip to Michigan State

Ahead of their first trip to East Lansing as members of the Big Ten, Washington will face some serious pressure to come out on top over the 3-6 Michigan State Spartans. A win for the Huskies doesn't exactly tip the scales on what has been a disappointing season, but suffering their fifth loss of the season to a team with just one win in conference play could prove to have a major impact on the future of the program. Before taking a snap, Jedd Fisch's program entered the season as the No. 17-ranked team in the country in the preseason AP Poll. With College Football Playoff aspirations from those both within and outside the building, those hopes quickly drifted away. After narrowly escaping their first two games, including a 16-14 win over Utah State in Week Two, the Huskies dropped out of the top 25 and haven't been back since. Since beginning conference play, UW has lost four of six, three of which were at home. To fall short of expectations is one thing, but the fashion in which Washington has done it is concerning.
