From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: Don’t die in Maryland or New Jersey if you want to avoid paying heavy estate and inheritance taxes.

The 78-year-old Prince Mohammed bin Saud was not in line for the Saudi throne, but wielded influence as part of a council of royal family members that helps select the heirs to rule the oil-rich Western ally. http://news.yahoo.com/influential-saudi-prince-mohammed-bin-saud-dies-144518208.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter When $500,000 was discovered hidden in the walls of one home a dispute as to who rightfully owned the money quickly broke out. The contraction company who found the cash – hidden inside military-style ammunition cans – thought they should keep it while the new-homeowners argued the money was rightfully theirs. But neither of those parties won the windfall after an Arizona court ruled that the money should be returned to the [...] 474-year-old painting stolen by Nazis given to owner’s heirs By Ian Johnston, msnbc.com TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A painting – nearly five centuries old and worth millions – that was taken by the Nazis in World War II has been returned to the heirs of its original Jewish owner by U.S. officials. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/19/11281560-474-year-old-painting-stolen-by-nazis-given-to-owners-heirs?lite If you want you can monitor this yourself, just check the CPS WIRE resource site, (50) news sites linked on their [...] The Trajectory of Empires (February 29, 2012) By Andrea Coombes, MarketWatch SAN FRANCISCO — You’d think a legislative bill to fund the nation’s highways and mass-transit systems would have no connection to your retirement savings.

The proposal would have raised about $4.7 billion over 10 years by changing the rules governing how people who inherit an [...] It’s Time to Think in Terms of Gold By Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD A young woman – let’s call her Andrea – inherited some money from her father in late 1997.

Steve Jobs and his wife Laurene Powell are seen at the Academy Awards in 2010.

His widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, may not have a better time to sell off the billions of stock and avoid $867 million in capital gains taxes.

But in 2011, Wellington R. Burt is the sort of generous benefactor who usually exists only in daydreams — the long-lost relative you never met who leaves you millions of dollars. With the conditions of a strange will — which barred any money from his [...] By Larry M. Elkin, CPA, CFP® Think you can’t put a price on love?
