When planning your estate, you’ll need to choose a will or a revocable living trust as the principal device for passing your property. A will is easier to understand, less expensive to prepare, and doesn’t require as much upkeep as a revocable living trust. However, a trust avoids the delay and expense of probate, keeps your estate plan private, and prepares for the possibility of your incapacity. An experienced estate planning attorney can help you choose the better estate planning strategy for your situation.

The “reserve” is the amount of money the insurance company has set aside (or “reserved”) to settle a claim. A reserve is established at the outset of a claim, but it can be (and often is) adjusted and re-set as new information about the claim becomes available (through your medical records, witness interviews, the police report, etc.).

The “statute of limitations” is the time limit for filing a lawsuit for a particular injury or wrong. This is important to know because, because the statute of limitations is a hard deadline. With few exceptions, if you miss the deadline to file suit, that opportunity is lost forever. Insurance companies know this, and it gives them even more incentive to delay settling a claim.
