the uber- wealthy people that we think about with trusts. there are lots of different kinds that can be taken advantage of." "if you're deciding between a will and a trust fund, what might make you lean toward the trust?" breen asked. "you might choose a trust if, for example, you live at the corner of iowa, nebraska and south dakota, and you own land in multiple states. if you had a will, you'd have to probate that property, and go through the court system, in all of those state," goosmann said.

the ncaa division 2 volleyball championship bracket has 8 regions - with the central region being the toughest of them all. wayne state is ranked 8th in the country - but received just a 7-seed in their own region. but the wildcats paid no attention to the seeding - and made school history. ktiv's mark freund has more with this week's sportsfource champions. the postseason had not been kind to wayne state.

"if you don't play your best, you're done, so you have to show up every day," said gebhardt. "you can't slack off one day. these teams are just as good as we are, because they've gotten this far as well." "it leaves you hungry, because you know you can accomplish way more things, way bigger things," said mcclintock. like more history - perhaps even wayne state's first national championship. "oh, it's 100 percent belief," said gebhardt. "our chances have gone up exponentially now for coming home with the trophy. it's great to go down there and be confident that we can do this. it's just up to us now.
