Volunteers Honored for Helping Foster Care Kids
Friday, June 26th, 2009
With support for corporations, organizations, and volunteers, a charity for foster care children called Hillsides provides basic necessities and extra attention to each child. Five organizations and local individuals were recipients of the Hillsides Special Recognition Awards for the duration of annual Angel Awards Ceremony.
Cindy Roberts (a mother of five), Conrad Schlick, (a Sears employee), and many others talk about the inspiration, energy, and warmth that they’re receiving from giving donations and raising funds for the charity.
Also, the charitable foundation of Pasadena Foothill Association of Realtors (PFAR) has long been donating to Hillside (since 1999). They recognize the charitable foundation for the mission of creating many safe places for foster children. And their relationship strengthened even more when the director of planned giving and major gifts, Jackie Broxton, gave a presentation at one of their meetings.
The vice chair of PFAR, Brandie Belangerie, became a spirited individual who’s eagerly advocating the service to children and loyal to Hillsides. She inspired PFAR to consider Hillsides as one of the leaders for its community outreach efforts.
Planned giving will not just lift your spirits, but it would also generate several advantages to your estate as well. Contact an estate attorney to learn more about its benefits.

Wrongful Death Cases Explored
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
Medical malpractice and wrongful death are cases involving lawsuits or claims where another’s negligence, product, or conduct caused death. These cases may involve family members of decedents, administrators, estates, and executors.
Most of the time, the period after suffering the fatality could be overwhelming. Experts recommend that you communicate with the investigators. Of course, it also helps if you have a lawyer who will remain objective and understanding in dealing with the parties involved.
Aside from this, you could also be involved in the estate’s personal injury lawsuits and claims. Most likely, these cases were unresolved before the death of the decedent. For example, when somebody was injured from a car accident before death, it may not necessarily lead to a lawsuit against the person responsible for it.
First, an investigation should be conducted on whether the death of the decedent was due to the injuries sustained from the car accident or not. Sure, the case of the deceased will still proceed; however, it may involve unique challenges due to the absence of the decedent’s direct testimony.
Bear in mind that the estate attorney you need to hire should have experience in handling or litigating death claims. Also, he or she should not have conflict of interest between the litigants and the estate. If you wish to find a new attorney or change your existing one, it’s best to seek referral from an attorney directory online.
