Emergency storm drain replacement begins Recent traffic bottle necks on east Gar net Avenue at the intersection with Soledad Mountain Road have been caused by an emergency storm drain replacement project, and more work is expected. The city Engineering and Capital Projects Department stated that the work is necessary to improve drainage infrastructure and eliminate any safety concerns related to a recently discovered pipe failure under the street. Work began Feb. 12 to stabilize the roadway and all underlying utilities. The emergency work is being done in phases. The initial phase — the pipe repair work — involved closure of one eastbound and one west bound lane on Garnet Avenue and one of the left-turn lanes on Soledad Mountain Road onto Garnet Avenue. The next phase — the pipe replacement work — should begin during the week of Feb. 22 and will involve similar lane closures. The start date for the replacement effort is contingent on the completion of custom piping being manufactured specifically for this area. The project is scheduled for completion by April. There will be some occasional delays as the pipe is excavated and replaced.

Ask The Lawyer Question: unfunded trust?
Once you have drafted your Living Trust, there are two important steps to take. The first is to execute your Trust by signing all of the necessary documents in front of witnesses and a Notary Public, where indicated. You must then fund your Trust by transferring your assets into the Trust. It is really quite simple. For example, with a Quitclaim Deed, you can transfer real property from your current ownership to your Trust (some states require different procedures for transferring real property). Such a transfer is not considered to be a sale, therefore no reassessment of your property will take place and no tax consequences will result. Similarly, you need to contact your bank or other financial institutions and request that they change the name on your accounts to the name of your Living Trust. Often the institution will give you a Certification of Trust form. If you need to transfer your stock certificates into your Trust, you should notify your broker and/or the company in which you own shares for specific instructions. When these steps are completed, your Trust is fully funded. Virginia will be happy to answer your questions about your Living Trust. Her goal is to assure you and your family that your Living Trust will meet the needs which you specified in establishing your Living Trust. She is here to help in any way she can.
