Out of all the forms available to make an estate plan a living will is perhaps the most important. This is probably the only life and death document you will ever sign, unless you’re a judge.

Whether it’s Youtube for videos or Flicker for photographs, the ever increasing demand for entertainment leads to the creation of more and more websites dedicates to displaying amateur “art” in the hopes of widespread popularity. As evidenced by the recent sale of YouTube to Google for $1.65 Billion, once a website gains widespread popularity, riches are not far away. This trend has increased the demand for new and entertaining content. Most times such services rely on self-submitted videos, photos or articles, but as more sites pop up, available supply dwindles. Consequently, a phenomenon commonly referred to as “website hacking” has become more and more popular. This form of hacking occurs when an individual uses some service or sight to put up their own video, photo or blog, in order to share that particular medium with known friends. Hackers looking for new and original content will often hack this information and use it on their own site, in an attempt to gain hits and popularity in the effort to be the next YouTube.

Life is unforeseen. Nobody knows what he or she will come across even in the next moment. As we all know life is full of uncertainties, we still try to chalk out things according to our own wish, thinking that we might be able to materialize our dreams and aspirations. However, a famous saying which says, Man proposes and God disposes, and trust me, this is probably one of the most apt sayings that I have come across. Apart from being uncertain, life is also full of surprises. These surprises are at times pleasant and at times equally ruthless and cruel. One such cruel and devastating shocks of life can hit anyone in the form of accidents. An accident can actually devastate the life of the person. At times, a person might actually become the victim of an accident and he does not really know what to do and who to go for justice. In this case, and especially, if you are a resident of New York City, you can always take the help of a NY personal injury lawyer to battle out a legal case against the person who has made you the victim of an accident.

What matters is that in the letter or statement you clearly state that you want it to be effective upon your death and that it meets certain legal requirements, especially that you sign it in front of witnesses.

For those of you who don’t know, Malaysia has very, VERY tight regulations on sports supplements and you are unable to purchase most of the new stuff that hit the shelves overseas here in Malaysia. Maybe the US FDA is not good enough for some doctor that bums in the government office I suppose? I’m not talking about steroids or anything illegal here.

Not only that, if you were to attempt to get it shipped to you, it would be confiscated by the Malaysian Customs. So we Malaysian fitness enthusiasts have to be content by just reading the amazing product reviews and drooling at the ads in bodybuilding magazines.

The Securities and Exchange Commission thought it might be a nifty idea for Corporate Board of Directors to have fewer insiders on them so they would serve the will of the shareholders and not allow corporate executives to do so much hanky panky and keep getting such big bonuses. Unfortunately, as nice as this little nifty idea was it is somewhat a socialist projection into the American Corporate Board Rooms.

This follows-up my May 15, 2007 and May 23, 2007 articles about Indiana law applicable to creditors that want to pierce the corporate veil and that wish to recover under Indiana’s Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act. On July 20, 2007, the Indiana Court of Appeals issued an opinion upholding the trial court’s piercing of the corporate veil, normally a difficult thing to do, as well as affirming liability based on the UFTA. See, Four Seasons Manufacturing, Inc. v. 1001 Coliseum, LLC, 2007 Ind. App. LEXIS 1589 (Ind. Ct. App. 2007).

Indiana’s general principles on “piercing”. Four Seasons, on page 12, sets out these guidelines:

An advance directive outlines what wishes your doctor must follow if you become unable to make your own medical decisions. When you’re admitted to the hospital usually the staff will ask you if you have an advance directive, or you can hand your doctor and hospital staff a copy yourself if they don’t ask.
