Watkins, DMD Family and Cosmetic Dental Center Rt. 309, Dallas, PA 675-1138 Insurance Q. What is estate planning? A. Estate planning is the process by which you ensure an orderly tran- sition of your affairs at the time of your death or disability. This in- cludes the disposition of your assets after death according to your specif- ic requests, as well as naming guardians for minor children or providing financial “as sistance” to other dependents (like disabled adult chil- dren and incapacitated parents who depend on you). A complete estate plan also makes provisions for the han- dling of your financial affairs if you should become un- able to do so because of illness or injury, and provides direction regarding life support or other medical deci- sion.

When I refinance my mortgage, do I have to pay closing costs out of my savings? A. Normally, you don’t have to, you can use your equity. When you are refi- nancing your mortgage, you are financ- ing the principal you owe on your cur- rent mortgage. depending on the ap- praised value of your home and what you owe on your mortgage, you probably have equity. Equity is a value that can be used to incorporate your closing costs. If your property lacks equity, you might have to pay closing costs expenses “out of pocket”. You can figure out the equity by multiplying the appraised value of your home by eighty percent (80%). Then, subtract what you owe on your home with your current bank. You just figured out your “equity”. If you have plenty of equity, you can also finance improvements and/or debt consolidation into your loan, as well. John P. Peterson, Branch Manager Grange National Bank 165 S. Memorial Highway Trucksville 696-6958 Q. What is the secret to good, gravy with no lumps? A. Smooth gravy begins with the base (pan drippings, stock, con- somme). For pan drippings, remove meat and hold on anything which will catch escaping juices. Place roasting wb : pan on medium-high heat and add lig- EL uid (stock, water, wine, consomme). Then scrape pan clean as simmering begins (deglazing the pan). Strain into pot, return to heat, bring to a simmer, whisk in small amounts of Roux (melted fat, i.e. butter, margarine, lard with flour whisked in until consistency of thick pancake batter) until desired thieknes ssiQuick tip: several packets of dry gravy mix made to-direetions can be enhanced with pan drippings and seasonings. .As always, you can always call Damien's on The Lake for tips and advice. Damien Kaye Damien’s on the Lake Harveys Lake, PA 639-2000 Investments Q. What are Fixed-Income Securities? A. Generally, Fixed-Income Securities represent a debt held by domestic or international governments, corporations, banks, institutions, and municipalities. When you invest in a fixed-income security, you are lending money to the issuer for a specific period of time. During this period, the issuer makes regular interest payments (at the stated coupon rate). The coupon rate is set at issuance and stays the same until the date of maturity, when the issuer pays back the loan.

The old adage that “timing is everything” especially applies to buying your new home or selling the current one. The local market is active through- out the year, but generally the busiest time of year is from February to June. Waiting to list until the summer, be- tween school terms, etc. can put your home on the market when many people in our area including buyers and real estate agents are enjoying summer activities. If you are thinking of selling, spring is the time. Everything is getting greener, the yards look great and Buyers want to buy now and make the move. With interest rates at all time lows, Sellers can maxi- mize sale prices because Buyers are able to afford more. If you're buying the time is right because of those great interest rates. Whether you are buying or selling, call your Realtor to- day and get started. Don’t miss the market! Kevin Smith Ruth K. Smith Real Estate, Inc. 358 S.
