Each year hundreds respond to the needs of local charities, like the Foundation for Community Care, with bighearted gifts of time a...

Land. Since the earliest days of our country, land has been recognized as one of the assets central to the American Dream. From a quest for wide-open spaces, to the highest levels of sophistication in development, leveraging land for the best possible value is a practice with which Americans are very familiar. With the right plan, mountains are moved, and dreams are realized. However, it is not at all unusual for a family’s portfolio to contain appreciated land acquired a number of years ago d...

That uncertain time, although stressful and scary, was a miracle in itself. Without the emergency surgery in Houston a few months prior, they may not have survived at all. There were m...

Many often lament the fact that as we age many of our child-like...

Out of this understanding, we make conscious decisions about much more than obligatory giving. It is somewhere in the midst of...
