Don’t leave your family or children crying over your money?
If you look at the news head line of Sunday Times recently, it said that “RM40 billion unclaimed cash and assets left by the dead”. To all, it is just a whopping figure. However to the families and children concerned, it is the much needed money they need to support the family and their children’s education. They have been struggling for years to get the money from the authority and many of them still unable to acquire their fair shares. All these are attributed to the fact that most of their family members die without leaving a will.
Though the deceased may have left lots of cash and property, the family members can not get their hands on them if there is no will.
Do You Still Think Will Writing Only for Rich People ?
The Answer: You should not be by now !
Many people have the perception that I do not need a will, I have no asset – the Will is only for Rich People with lots of assets. This is not true. Will is for everyone – especially for those who love and care for their loved one.
When a person makes a will, it allows the testator (will maker) to distribute the estate according to the person’s wishes. It will reduce the likelihood of a prolonged estate administration case because if a person died intestate (without a will) the process of getting the courts to provide a Letter of Administration could take years, averagely about 5 years. Besides, with a valid will, it helps to prevent family disputes over rights of ownership to the estate, and allows for the appointment of guardians of our own choice for our minor children.
We have been working hard to build up our wealth so that we could provide a good living for our loved one. While we have been putting the investment and protection puzzles into it places, we can not left out the last piece of the financial planning puzzle – Wealth Distribution – Wills & Trust.
Do not procrastinate, start off with a simple will to ensure our hard earned investments are well taken care off.

Where to Invest: Gold or CPO?
Two commodities is currently the world’s interest, particularly crude palm oil and gold. Globe gold price is presently in the degree of U.S. $ 1,372 per troy ounce.
This value boost occurred about 30 percent within the previous yr. “Analysts estimate the price of gold might be the selection of U.S. $ one,450 per troy ounce, until the end of this yr,” Data U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), shows that gold manufacturing rose two.26 tons to 2350 tons in 2009. This creation, nine.six % beneath its peak in 2001.
Thomas Chaize, observers of gold as GoldSeek.com, observed that the decline in production has created the cost of gold soared. Inside a decade, gold prices rose from U.S. $ 275 troy ounces (one troy ounce equals 31.one grams) to more than U.S. $ 1,300 this month.
Meanwhile, planet crude palm oil costs now reaching the degree of U.S. $ 890 per ton. “Until the end in the yr, the price is going to be the variety U.S. $ 900-950 per tonne,” said Nico Omer Jonckheere, vice president of PT Valbury Asia Securities in Jakarta.
Which is, there is an boost of about 40.eleven percent in comparison with the typical CPO value inside the final yr (2009), namely at the level of U.S. $ 678 per ton. That worth is much higher than expectations of Indonesian Palm Oil Association (Gapki), which predicts only an enhance of 12 %.
The cost enhance can also be due to the imbalance amongst need and availability of merchandise with the CPO.
So it is as much as you pick which one? Gold Or CPO.

Gold vs Silver
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- One question which I am asked regularly is how do investors decide how much of their precious metals dollars do they invest in gold bullion, and how much in silver? In other words, they are looking for a "ratio" to guide them. In fact, I will argue that there is an existing, visible ratio which provides investors with good guidance on allocating those investor dollars.
The gold/silver price ratio is a simple comparison of the price of silver vs. the price of gold. With these two commodities having played a vital role in human commerce (and human culture) for thousands of years, the gold/silver price ratio is arguably our oldest "economic statistic". For most of the last 5,000 years it has averaged approximately 15:1 -- until this century, when a combination of developments skewed this ratio to its most extreme imbalance in 5,000 years.
There are many ways to demonstrate that the current price ratio -- of well over 60:1 -- is both unjustified and unsustainable. The starting point is to observe that the element of silver is roughly 17 times more plentiful in the earth's crust than the element of gold. Indeed, what is strange is that our much more primitive ancestors (who had no way of analyzing the composition of the earth's crust) did a much better job of pricing these metals appropriately than their modern descendants.
The result of well over half a century of grossly distorting the price of silver, both in absolute terms and versus the price of gold has clearly set up this market for a spectacular default -- at which time the market will "correct" the price imbalance, in the most brutal manner possible. The evidence of this upcoming event is all around us, much of it compiled by the years of painstaking research by Ted Butler, the "dean" of silver commentators.
It is Mr. Butler who has chronicled the extreme-and-absurd manipulation of the silver market through the criminal activities of the bullion-banks in futures markets -- and mostly from New York's Comex exchange. As most of us know, identical activities have been taking place in the gold market, with GATA taking the lead in exposing that aspect of market-fraud.
