Allocating Your Inheritance: A Specific Situation Addressed
2008-04-04 00:15:00 In this post, I would like to outline a question that I received via email. Someone very close to my demographic wrote back and forth with me, and basically wanted to know how to allocate a sum of money they received from an inheritance. The basics of the request are as follows: Hi there, was wondering if you could perhaps give me some advice. My mother passed away in 2005, leaving me with both a 401k inheritance and life insurance. However, the passing was unexpected as I now have a lot of student loan debt that she would have helped me pay back. Regardless, I have come up with an idea that I would like to assure is not a bad move. Me: 21 Assets: 401k ($125,000) and remaining life insurance ($80,000) Debts: $90,000 student loans ($4,000 of it Federal), $4,500 credit card I was looking to not even touch the 401k and begin adding to it once I began my career as a Police Officer in July. I wanted to use the life insurance to pay off the credit cards and federal loans in its entiret...

Shared inheritance
2008-03-11 09:17:00 The other day I heard some stories I had not yet been told. They were the stories of three Christian martyrs of the Roman period. These three individuals had the possibility of avoiding martyrdom (through personal connections, loopholes in the legal system, and such), but instead embraced their sentences. These stories really impacted my spirit as I heard them and I remembered Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance... fixing our eyes on Jesus..." These three individuals are in that cloud of witnesses, along with so many others throughout history. They are connected to us, and we to them. We are part of their story, a continuation of their story (Heb 11:40). What we do in this generation is of import. These martyrs in history did not die to defend information. From my perspective, they lived lives of inspiration, of deep intimacy with God. The collective memory of who we are as Christians (and those...

Implementing Table Inheritance with SQL Server
2008-02-21 17:05:00 I have a new article up at SQLTeam: Implementing Table Inheritance with Sql Server It discusses the situation where you have multiple entities that are distinct, yet they have many attributes or relations in common. There is an easy way to simplify your database design and your code if you use the concept of a "base table" for that common data, which is very similar to the concept of Inheritance in Object-Oriented programming. I recently had to do this for a client that tracks Contributions to their foundation; there is a base set of data that all Contributions have, such as who donated, how they paid, the date a tax letter was sent, etc. But for certain contribution types we need additional information, such as if they bought an Auction Item, sponsored an Event, and so on. Thus, we set up a "base table" of Contributions and sub-tables for the different types, and set up a constraint to ensure that the right subtable is used depending on the type. It sounds complicated and l...

A China Inheritance Tax. Steve Dickinson On CCTV-9 Says "Please Don&a
2008-01-28 13:52:00 CLB co-blogger was on CCTV's Dialogue show last week discussing whether China is ready for an inheritance tax. The Moderator was Tian Wei and Steve was on there with David Lee, from the Beijing Dacheng Law Offices. The show was described as follows: With China's rapid economic development, the wealth gap in the country is also widening. As a result of that, people are talking about the possibility of inheritance tax. How viable is the situation to implement and levy this inheritance tax? What are the debates behind this? Steve is of the view that China is not ready for such a tax because, among other reasons, China has yet to develop a good personal asset reporting/monitoring system.

In Islam, rules and regulations and the do's and don'ts are derived from the word of Allah, i.e. the Glorious Qur'an and the teachings of the Messenger of Allah, i.e. the authentic Ahadith.Question 2)Why Islam proposes a discriminatory share of Inheritance by giving women only half of what men receive?Answer 1) The Qur'an says:"O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those charged with authority among you. If you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger if you do believe in Allah and the Last Day: that is best and most suitable for final determination."(Al-Qur'an 4:59)As mentioned in the verse quoted above, when people in authority, the rulers, leaders, imams and scholars differ amongst themselves, our Creator instructs us to look into the Qur'an and the authentic Ahadith for guidance.... |
