Real Estate Laws and How They Pertain to LGBD Marriages
Laws concerning property ownership always have to be figured into the mix when a married couple purchases the property jointly. In cases of couples just living together who aren’t legally married, however, the issue can be a bit stickier. This is true of heterosexual couples as well as LGBD couples, but the laws tend to be more blurred in the case of the LGBDs. After all, not every state recognizes gay marriages or divorces, and in every state the laws are different. While some states, such as Iowa and Massachusetts, permit gay and lesbian marriages, most other states do not. So how exactly does the law address real estate coupled with LGBD ownership?
As with almost anyone, real estate can be a great investment. Now is the time to buy properties at far less than their original prices and then wait for the housing market to bounce back. Everything should be well and good. However, what if you and your mate have a serious falling out as so many other couples do? Have you ever considered the issue of getting a divorce if you enter into a gay marriage? A typical divorce not only dissolves the union between two people, but it also grants property settlements, including the ownership of a jointly-owned home. Without this legal intervention, most irate partners would find it difficult to reach agreements about disposing of assets, such as property.
People who have been in LGBD marriages, though, have discovered that it’s not as easy as it should be to get a divorce if that time should come. True, none of us want to believe that a divorce could be in our future, but we all need to face reality. It happens. In the case of LGBD individuals, getting a divorce may prove to be an impossibility. Even in states that recognize LGBD marriages, there may be no such thing as an LGBD divorce. Even if a sympathetic judge might want to grant you a divorce, in a state where gay marriages aren’t recognized, there will be no way he can do so. While states cooperate and reciprocate in most legal matters, this is not the case with LGBD divorces.
So how can you protect your real estate investment when you know there won’t be an opportunity for legal recourse should you divorce? Finding the right people to help you is the key here. Start by using an LGBD relator who has the expertise to steer you in the right direction. You will also need to hire an LGBD attorney who knows how the laws will pertain to you.
Always ask a lot of questions, and be sure that you never sign anything without knowing what you could be running into. These are reasons for going to the expense of hiring an attorney who has expertise in the field of LGBD law. Taking these initial steps before you ever co-sign a loan agreement or purchase property together will stand you in good stead should that unfathomable day you want a divorce or separation actually occur.
Plan To Succeed With Information Product Creation: Why You Need To Split Your Process Up
One of the keys to succeeding in information product creation is to break the process up into discrete steps. This frequently isn’t an instinctive reaction for the typical information marketer. Especially on the internet where small sized learning products are the norm.
However, it is extremely important to your ultimate success. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if you don’t do this you probably won’t succeed… even when you are starting out let alone as you move forward.
Your product creation system should do this for you if only to help you to understand the overall task.
But why?
In this article, I’m going to ignore chunking and focus on the practical aspects. That’s not to say that chunking isn’t important. It is. It’s important to understanding and to learning the process. But while you can use the same chunks as you move forward, long term your focus needs to be on the operation of the system not the understanding of it. Unless of course you are constantly training new people!
So why is chunking important to long term use of the product creation process? (Yes, I know systems design uses a different term for this process but I’m not teaching you systems design. So I’m going to use the word learning content designers use.)
The first reason that having individual discrete tasks is important is one of schedule estimation. Frequently it is very difficult to estimate how long the total task of creating a product will take. After all, the size and type of the products matters as does the number of products in your product funnel. And those are just the most obvious elements. However, estimating a discrete task is often much easier. The total can then be estimated as the total of the discrete tasks.
Secondly, scheduling a large task can be problematic. However, by segmenting the task into a number of discrete tasks, you gain a much greater flexibility in scheduling. Not only that but as your business begins to add people you are able to schedule multiple people to the product creation.
Finally, segmenting a large task into smaller discrete tasks allows you to have much better control over the product creation. This affects two different areas — status and quality.
By segmenting your process into discrete tasks you are able to schedule and record the progress at much more detailed level. As a result you are more in control of the status of the product creation. You know what everyone is doing. When they should complete it. And how much it should cost. You also know exactly what has been done.
You also improve your overall quality. Instead of waiting until everything is done you can check quality as you go. This allows you to immediate react to low quality products without absorbing their costs. This means that you have less rework and your rework costs less. And if the product is not going to meet its quality requirement you will know about it in time to stop the development, change the requirement or fix the product.
