Who’s Who... in East County

A fresh coat of paint is the easiest way to transform the interior and exterior of your home and add value to your investment. Whether the goal is to revamp your current residence or sell, having your house painted by professionals adds indoor ambiance and greater curb appeal that undoubtedly attracts a wider range of potential buyers. Dollar for dollar, contracting with S. Page & Son Painting of Antioch is one of the simplest and least expensive ways to renovate and increase the worth of residential and commercial property.

In addition to cosmetic enhancement, painting protects building materials and drastically reduces the risk of costly future repairs. Exterior painting provides a defensive shield, guarding against severe weather conditions that erode structural surfaces. Expert painters can also make recommendations to protect buildings from unwelcome and detrimental insect infestations.

It’s no wonder that the owner of S. Page & Son, Jason, has a passion for painting, ceiling work, and drywall. His grandfather helped to paint the Golden Gate Bridge when it was built and his father began his own painting business in 1979. Inspired by these men, he followed in their footsteps and now has over 20 years of experience. Like his forefathers, he takes great pride in his work. A self-proclaimed “on-site boss,” he personally oversees each job to assure the work is done as agreed upon, resulting in a high level of customer satisfaction.

S. Page & Son Painting offers competitive pricing combined with quality products and exceptional workmanship. Ask about their complete interior and exterior home discounts and the rate reduction for senior citizens. Take advantage of their years of experience by allowing skilled experts to get the job done right, on time, as promised.

Marriage, Divorce and Bankruptcy Most of us are aware of the statistics, half of marriages end in divorce. According to www.divorcepad.com/rate, the likelihood of a divorce is even higher in a second marriage and higher still in a third. Financial problems are one of the leading causes of divorce. In an article Dr. Phil writes, “It’s this simple: Money can ruin your marriage.” Financial trouble is never easy and can be doubly tough in marriage. In some marriages the spouses do not see eye to eye about their finances. In other marriages one spouse had substantial debt before marriage. Debts and financial problems lead to argument after argument. In desperation people ask themselves, “When will it end?” That’s a good question. Many try divorce only to find the debts are still there. It’s true, divorce does not make debts disappear, and getting your own place isn’t

CHRIS J. HELD

Do You Know Who Your Beneficiaries Are? When was the last time you checked your beneficiary designations for your individual retirement account (IRA), employer retirement plan, annuity or life insurance policy? If you haven’t examined it since the account was set up, you are not alone. But don’t hesitate.

Due to changing circumstances and shifting priorities, you may find that your named beneficiaries are no longer in keeping with your estate plan or wishes.

If you have switched jobs, become a new parent, divorced or survived a spouse or a child, your current beneficiary designations may need to be updated.

Consider the “What If?” In the heat and emotion of divorce proceedings, for example, the task of revising one’s beneficiary designations can fall through the cracks. A court decree that ends a marriage also terminates the provisions of a will, but it does not automatically revise the beneficiary status of an employer-sponsored retirement account or an IRA. Some financial

cheap. For many the bankruptcy laws offer needed relief.

Many people wonder if they can file bankruptcy without including their spouse. Others wonder if they need to get divorced before filing bankruptcy.

The law gives every individual the right to bankruptcy so long as he or she can demonstrate financial hardship. A married couple can file bankruptcy together, which is called a joint bankruptcy, but they are not required to. Bankruptcy will only forgive debts for the person who files.

If most of the debts are held jointly, a bankruptcy by one spouse would be of little benefit because the other spouse would remain liable. If, however, most of the debts are in the name of one spouse, there may be no point in having the other spouse join in the bankruptcy. Often I am asked, “Can’t bill collectors come after both of us if we’re married?” That’s a good question. The legal theory in California is that both spouses can be liable for debts incurred during marriage, but there are so many exceptions to that rule that consumer creditors rarely seek to collect from a spouse that did not sign the contract. For credit reporting purposes, a bankruptcy will only show on the reports of the person who files. Lastly, a caveat, if a married person files bankruptcy institutions, such as Morgan Stanley, automatically cancel the designation of a spouse as the beneficiary of an IRA in the case of divorce, but not all do. So, for example, if an IRA owner remarries and has a new family, but fails to change the beneficiaries on the account, the original beneficiary may have a legal claim to the assets in the event of death.

Also keep in mind that the law requires that a spouse be the primary beneficiary of a 401(k) or a profit sharing account, unless he or she waives that right in writing. A waiver may make sense in a second marriage if a new spouse is already financially set, and the children from the first marriage may need the money.

Steps to Stay Current To ensure that your beneficiary designations are current and up-to-date, consider the following steps: Make a list of all accounts that have named beneficiaries. This may include 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, 457 plans, IRAs, pension plans, life insurance policies, annuities and bank accounts.

Contact the plan administrator or financial institution that maintains or services your account to verify your current beneficiary designations. You may want to do this with the help of your tax advisor or estate planning professional to ensure that these documents are in synch with other aspects

alone, that person must disclose his spouse’s income and assets unless they are separated.

of your estate plan.

Keep it safe. Store this list in a safe place with your other estate plan documents, such as your will, health care proxy and power of attorney, and make sure your designated executor has a copy.

Register for online access. If you do not already have online access to your accounts with beneficiary designations, consider registering so you can view and update your account information whenever you need to.

Consolidate. If you have changed jobs and left your assets in your former employers’ plans, you may want to consider moving these assets into a rollover IRA. Consolidating multiple retirement plans into a single taxadvantaged account can make it easier to track your investment performance and streamline your records, including beneficiary designations.

Naming beneficiaries and keeping them up-to-date is only one important aspect of estate planning. Let me work with you to make sure your entire estate plan addresses your current wishes and circumstances.

Contra Costa County Public Auto Auction When it’s time to acquire a vehicle, price and quality are undoubtedly the most important considerations. Buyers can benefit from purchasing through a public auction because of the substantial savings opportunity combined with a vast selection of good-condition makes and models to choose from. Contra Costa County Public Auto Auction (CCCPAA) of Pittsburg publicly sells quality used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, RVs, and travel trailers on the first Saturday of each month.

CCCPAA vehicles are smog certified and without salvage titles. Obtained through banks, credit unions, non-profit organizations, city accounts, consignors, and leasing companies, all cars come with a third-party history and CARFAX report.

Inventory varies from auction to auction; consumers can select from older vehicles of the 1980s to newer models. If you are on the lookout for a unique and hardto-find ride, an auction may be the best way to unearth it. Rare finds may have a limited number of bidders and often result in considerable savings.

To help potential buyers fully understand the auction process, the company’s website itemizes and explains the steps in detail from start to finish. Buyers are instructed to realistically determine their

price limit and stick to their budget when bidding. Financing must be approved prior to auction, and CCCPAA is pleased to assist buyers in obtaining financial backing. Applicants can call a week in advance for an appointment or simply visit the website to print an easy Credit Pre-Approval form. Once all information is provided, they will begin working with financial partners to create a lending plan that is practical for the customer.

Open seven days a week, business hours are Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and weekends from 10 to 5. A vehicle catalog is available online for new arrivals and also permits viewing of autos that sold at the previous auction.

CCCPAA customers have an advantage over online auction patrons because vehicles can be visually examined in person, and they are encouraged to bring a mechanic along to inspect their choices.

The lot is open to the public for preview on Friday (day prior to auction) from 12 to 5 p.m. and Auction Saturday from 9 to10 a.m.

CCCPAA is proud to provide excellent customer service and personal assistance to their clients. To insure that buyers know precisely what they are purchasing, the staff is always available to answer questions and facilitate in the selection process. Shoppers are able to inspect and start the vehicles and test all mechanical options such as heating, air conditioning, power seats, locks, and windows. Unlike other auctions, CCCPAA offers a 24-hour guarantee on major vehicle components.

The auction atmosphere is fun and family oriented and people of all ages are welcome. The audience is seated comfortably under two “Big Top” tents, giving it a circus-like feel that kids enjoy.

Attendees have the opportunity to win free cars and cash while participating in community service programs such as the Annual Thanksgiving Canned Food Drive & Auto Auction, December’s Holiday Toys For Tots & Auto Auction, the Wounded Warrior Project, and many other worthy fundraisers.

For 17 years, Contra Costa County Public Auto Auction has been helping the community to get the best car at the best price. With an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, owner Debbie Marzocco’s biggest reward is assisting her customers to find what is right for them at a price that fits their budget. Come participate in the auction and you might just find the perfect vehicle at the right price and enjoy yourself at the same time!

CCC Public Auto Auction have monthly car auctions the first Saturday of each month. They are located at 2691 E. Leland Rd. in Pittsburg. They can be reached at 925-432-8900 or cccpaa.com.
