How Ukrainians Remember Charlie Kirk
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is so shocking, it is certainly a turning point for US culture and politics. The horror is captured in the graphic blood-spurting video at left, included here not for shock value but to honor the man. That’s not a gun in his...Goebner Allows Demurrer Until Initial Hearing in Probates
A California appellate court ruled in Groebner v Super. Ct. that in a probate case a demurrer can be filed at any time at or before the initial hearing. California’s Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) specifies that a demurrer must be filed within thirty days of a...Eleven Killed by Black German Assault SUV Ramming Crowd at Vancouver Festival
Not saying we need to ban all cars. But this one was an SUV. And it was BLACK. Made with GERMAN precision. Probably not even electric. Story here: VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Murder charges were filed Sunday against a suspect in a weekend car ramming attack...Dem Senator Puts Cloven Hoof in Mouth, Rejects Self-Evident Truth That Rights Come From God
Democrat Senator (and former VP candidate) Tim Kaine shockingly rejected the self-evident Truth, stated in our Declaration of Independence, that our rights come from God rather than government. Is it not crystal clear that the Democrat Party is the party of godless...Chicom Docs Executing Prisoners to Harvest Organs
Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.) pic.twitter.com/kC4VTRaobq— Yaroslav Trofimov...Tony Bennett’s Estate an Example of Why You Don’t Put One Child In Charge of Administration
Almost every estate planning client has family protection as a major if not primary legacy goal. The worst legacy you can leave is to leave your children fighting each other. Looks like that’s what Tony Bennett did, because he put his trust in one child to...Armed Hero Stops Mass Stabbing at Michigan Walmart
A hero armed with his self-defense handgun joined with several other bystanders to actively subdue the attacker in a mass stabbing at a Michigan Walmart. (I’m placing this one on my “mass shootings” list even though it’s a mass stabbing.) While...Assassination Culture Spreads After Study Shows 56% of Left Wants Trump Assassinated
Assassination culture continues to spread after study shows 56% of Left (those who self-identify as being left-of-center) wants President Trump assassinated. Of course there is nothing new about this woke fascist terrorism, and it’s not even all that new on the...Omission of Trust Protector Forces Lachlan Murdoch to Buy Out Siblings
As i posted previously, the failure of Rupert Murdoch’s trust to include adequate trust protector provisions allowing, without court action, the shift of control to Lachlan Murdoch, resulted in Rupert’s unsuccessful Nevada suit to reform the trust, a...Merry Constitution Day!

A Family Mission Statement can play an important role in growing and maintaining Family Power in the near term and over several generations. Dynastic trust incentives can help transmit the necessary values for Life, Fortune, and Honor, to grow Family Power, but words...Texas Chooses Property Over Life of CCW Holders
Texas recently had a chance to live up to its undeserved reputation as a palladium of gun rights, and failed. Texas bill SB 82 was allowed to languish and die in committee. The text is very short and could have been improved, for example by narrowing “criminal...Use of Non-Charitable Purpose Trusts in Business Succession Planning
Non-charitable purpose trusts are gaining attention as an alternative structure for business succession planning. Traditional estate planning will often give control to family members, or maybe some of them, in varying degrees, usually through some combination of...Satanic Video by Leftist Assault Tranny Catholic School Shooter Minnesota Robin
Just in time for Halloween, here is one of several videos left behind by the Satanic leftist assault tranny Minnesota Robin f/k/a Minneosta Robert who shot up a Catholic school this morning (or more precisely, a Catholic church connected with that school), killing...Mark Levin’s Book “On Power” and My Family Power Practice
This post is a brief review of Mark Levin’s new book “On Power”, which i downloaded on Audible. In short, the book is mercifully short, but it’s also great, like all of Mark’s books. In fact, it might be the greatest. I say that because...Balancing Privacy Against Duty of Successor Trustee to Notify Beneficiaries Upon Settlor Incapacity
California Probate Code §15800(b) (set forth below) was amended several years ago to place extra notice burdens upon a successor trustee who takes over a revocable trust upon settlor incapacity, unless someone competent remains with a power to revoke the trust (other...Happy No Kings Day, America! (Tax Bill Signed!)

US military vet hijacks Belize plane with knife, stabbing three including pilot, gets shot and killed by passenger carrying pistol. Story...Lawsuit seeks to require San Luis Obispo to honor Donor’s Wishes re Canet Adobe
Here is yet another example of estate plan failure due to lack of family control. Public agencies and nonprofits usually cannot be trusted over the long term to faithfully fulfill testamentary intent. Did the San Luis Obispo City Council fail to honor the wishes of a ...CA’s 1-in-30 Ban Still Blocked, So Californians Can Buy More Than One Gun a Month
I spoke yesterday on California Gun Trust Planning at the Atascadero Rotary Club and was asked whether a gun trust can help avoid application of California’s one gun a month law which prohibits purchase of more than one firearm over a thirty-day period (aka...Carry a Firearm, Not a Byrna
Carry a firearm, not a Byrna! While it is definitely a good idea to carry a non-lethal alternative for self-defense, there are many such alternatives that are smaller and easier to carry than a Byrna. Very few people would carry both a firearm and a Byrna. If i have...Study: Armed Citizens Beat Police at Stopping Mass Shootings
A new study by Lott and Moody shows that armed citizens are much more effective than uniformed police at stopping potential mass shootings. The study concluded: The results favor intervention by armed citizens. Unlike uniformed police officers, armed citizens are...Judge VanDyke’s Brilliant Dissent Video (Duncan v Bonta)
The video at top left is a brilliant “dissent video” by Judge Lawrence VanDyke of the Ninth Circuit, part of his recent dissent in Duncan v Bonta.

Not to be confused with my own lawful drawing of a red gun at a candidates forum (over which I filed a federal suit, entry of judgment expected soon in my favor), another Morro Bay man drew a bayonet at a city council meeting. I haven’t seen his speech and i...31% of Gun Owners Have Used Gun Defensively, 82% of Uses Require No Firing
A recent study indicates that 31% of gun owners have used a gun defensively at least once over their lives. (I am in this category, and many of my students have confirmed their own defensive gun use (DGU) experiences.) Furthermore, the same study indicates 82% of...Man Sentenced for Attempted Murder of Pismo Beach Cop Loaded Rounds Backwards in Mag
I should probably have a “Dumb Criminals” category but as an estate planner i’ll stick with “Dying Embarrassed”. This man was convicted of attempted murder because, even though he pointed his semi-auto handgun at a Pismo Beach cop’s...Security Trusts for UHNW and ULNW Families
The recent shooting of a healthcare CEO has promoted increasing discussion of new security protocols among ultra high net worth (UHNW) families and their businesses, involving perhaps purpose-built security trusts funded with business interests, provisions in family...US Persons and Entities Now Exempt from Corporate Transparency Act BOI Reporting
Pursuant to new interim final rule issued by FINCEN on March 21, 2025, US persons and entities are now exempt from Beneficial Ownership Interest (BOI) reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act.

As my practice matures and I take on more high-net-worth clients, it’s amazing how poor the estate planning is among some of these families. Sometimes, there is no planning at all! In other cases, there is very simple cookie-cutter planning, which is always bad...Atty Dave Duringer on Hometown Radio with Dave Congalton KVEC 920AM 20241203
Texas Federal Court Issues National Injunction Against CTA!
A Texas federal court has just saved a zillion businesses (and family trusts and mere holding companies) the effort of complying with the onerous filing burden under the draconian, oppressive, vague and unconstitutional Corporate Transparency Act (and zillions more...Trump Announces National CCW Reciprocity
Yesterday Trump announced he will sign full national concealed carry (CCW) reciprocity, meaning you will be allowed to carry in any state as you travel. The bill has been pending in congress for some time, so it will likely be enacted quickly. Just in time, as Gov....U. Kansas fires prof who called for anti-Harris male voters to be lined up and shot
You may have seen my posts or heard my radio commercials on the idea of #DisinheritWoke. Like leaving a legacy of firearm training, i think it’s much more important than trying to succeed in politics or the courts. Is it any wonder why so many of my estate...Lott: New Data on Migrant Crime is Shocking
It probably takes a lot to shock Dr Lott: The new data on all the criminal noncitizens coming into the U.S. is shocking. . The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) checks the background of illegal aliens they have in custody. But, the administration’s...Federal Judge Blocks Gov. Noisome’s ‘Deepfakes’ Law Making Political Humor Illegal in California
Political humor (parody, satire, etc.) is legal again in California! A federal judge has enjoined Gov. Noisome’s perniciously noisome “Deepfakes” law (actually a collection of three noisome bills he signed with this noisome objective) as it is likely...Noisome, Walz, Whitmer, other Dem Guvs Escape Scrutiny Given Cuomo for COVID Nursing Home Deaths
Health care planning is one of the most important concerns of comprehensive estate planning, often overlooked or given short shrift by simpler estate plans. There has been a great deal of attention given to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s ordering elderly...Yet Another Mass Knife Attack in Communist China
Yet another mass knife has occurred in communist China, at a Wal-Mart in Shanghai. Three dead, fifteen injured. Attacker arrested. (Most mass attackers here in the US at least have the decency to attempt suicide as soon as they face any opposition.) Obviously, private...Kamala Claimed Cops can Randomly Check Homes for Compliance with City Gun Storage Law
My classmate Kamala Harris claimed back in 2007 as San Francisco District Attorney that the police are able to randomly search homes to check for compliance with San Francisco’s gun storage law. That law served as a model for similar laws later passed by many...Israel Terror Attack Stopped by Armed Bystanders
A terrorist in central Israel near Glilot rammed his truck into a crowd of people at a bus stop, killing one, injuring 36, six seriously.

Details are sketchy and confusing in this bizarre case of an apparent child abduction by an apparently drug-addled attacker wielding a knife in an apparent attempt to grab a 2 year old girl on a walk with her parents in Beverly Hills. The father bravely defended...TAX.GD updated with IRS Inflation Adjustments for 2025

Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) planning can be quite complex, and the expenses involved usually are justified only with a very large gift to charity, well north of a million. Practically speaking most of this planning is tax-driven and must be to make it feasible,...
