<title>Powers of Attorney&#226;Are they losing their power?</title>
<link>http://www.rainbowlegaltalk.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=393022#</link>
<description><![CDATA[As banks and other financial institutions churn out fine print changes to account agreements, it is important to ask if your power of attorney documents are compatible.

<title>Avoiding Costly Partner Retirement Account Mistakes</title>
<link>http://www.rainbowlegaltalk.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=393018#</link>
<description><![CDATA[One of the greatest income tax benefits âbestowedâ on people by the government is the ability to fund retirement accounts and deduct the contributions from their income tax. One of the biggest tax burdens falls upon these retirement accounts when the owner passes on, with all of the amounts in the retirement accounts counted as income to the beneficiary. But there are now legal steps partners can take to cut income taxes on these accounts and allow the accounts to grow to astronomical amounts tax deferredâ provided they take those steps. (Originally appearing as a column in Out in Asheville, 2008.)]]></description>

<title>Podcast 1.6: Election 2006 -  Amendments, Bans and Looking Ahead</title>
<link>http://www.rainbowlegaltalk.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=151195#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Eight states voted to ban same-sex marriage - but what does that mean? Not all legislation is created equally. Some of these states have left open the possibility of civil unions to be recognized in the future. <br/><br/>In other states, these amendments go further, defining what marriage is -- and isn't. Do they overrule partnership agreements or other private planning? Will these bans affect domestic partner benefits?<br/><br/>North Carolina attorney Jeffrey Marsocci weighs the differences in this new legislation and its implications nationwide. Later, he outlines how domestic partners can find legal protection with life and estate planning. <br/>]]></description>
