Top 3 Things to Know If You Are in a Motor Vehicle Accident
Top 3 Things to Know If You Are in a Motor Vehicle Accident:
1. Be covered
Before you get behind the wheel, make sure you are covered! Vehicles with a Florida registration are only required by Florida Law to have a minimum of $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection AND a minimum of $10,000 in property damage liability coverage.
2. Document
In the event you are in a motor vehicle accident, document everything. If you are able, move your car off the road and onto the shoulder, and dial 911 to report an accident.
3. Seek Medical Treatment
You may recognize that you have an injury right away. If you or your passengers are injured, wait for emergency personnel to arrive, and treat you appropriately.

New Year’s Resolution: Protect Your Assets with Estate Plans
While asset protection includes safeguarding your finances in the event of a foreclosure, bankruptcy filing, or civil lawsuit, it also entails placing your assets in the proper legal format so as to avoid hefty estate taxes and protect your heirs from having to pay exorbitant inheritance taxes. A proper estate plan takes into account the disposition of your assets upon your death and has as its goal the protection of your assets against devaluation by the estate and inheritance taxes, as well as protecting your assets against creditors.
