Life Insurance And The Law. A Layman's Introduction.
There are no laws in the UK that require a person to have life
insurance. It's an entirely voluntary insurance. About 40% of
the UK's working population are covered by life insurance either

employer.

order to buy a life insurance policy from a UK based insurance
company. This is not a requirement laid down in UK law, but UK
laws and tax arrangements make it impossible for a ...

Bankruptcy and Debt - New Law May Hurt Katrina Victims
The world remains horrified at the tremendous destruction caused
throughout the Gulf Coast recently by Hurricane Katrina. An
unknown number of people are dead and thousands more are
homeless, jobless and completely destitute. It may be months
before the city of New Orleans is inhabitable again, and in the
meantime, most residents of the city will have little or no
income. This is a problem, as most people will continue to have
payments due for credit cards, auto loans and mortgages. A

The Pros and Cons Of Hiring A Real Estate Lawyer
You're travelling in a foreign country and you get arrested for
something that you didn't even know was against the law. The
potential fine is huge, more than you earn in 10 years. Would
you represent yourself in front of judges who might not even
speak your language? Not if you had any sense you wouldn't.

years salary when they're in front of the judge, yet those same

New Bankruptcy Law - Five Essential Things to Know
Last April, Congress passed the Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer
Protection Act, the most sweeping reform of our nation's
bankruptcy laws in more than twenty-five years. Proponents of
the bill argue that most consumers who file for bankruptcy do so
simply because they do not wish to pay their bills. That is an
arguable point, as studies show that most bankruptcy filers have
suffered illness, injury or job loss. Regardless of the reasons,
Congress has made the changes, and millions of Americans ...

The Role of Your Wrongful Death Lawyer
When a life is cut short by someone else's negligence, the law
in this country says that the only remedy available is monetary
compensation. And, after a wrongful death accident, you may be
thinking that it is inappropriate to contact a wrongful death
lawyer too soon after the death, because of what other people
might think or say. But I must say that it is your choice to
determine when you are ready to contact a wrongful death lawyer
to back you up in your case.

Credit Counseling - Congress Offers No Details in New Law
The recently passed Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection
Act was hailed as a breakthrough in bankruptcy law. Passed with
bipartisan support in Congress and signed enthusiastically by
President Bush, the law creates sweeping changes in debt law and
will make it much more difficult for debtors to have their
obligations swept away by the courts. A major requirement of the
new law will require that anyone considering filing for
bankruptcy to first undergo credit counseling. The idea is

New Bankruptcy Law - Targeting the Wrong People?
Last April, President Bush enthusiastically signed into law the
oddly-named Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act. This
bill, representing the biggest overhaul of bankruptcy law in
twenty-five years, was written in order to discourage
'bankruptcy of convenience.' Proponents of the bill, which
included the credit card industry, say that the bill is
necessary in order to stop an avalanche of bankruptcy filings by
drug users and compulsive shoppers and gamblers. The law makes

New Bankruptcy Law Will Not Protect You from Identity Theft
Recently passed by Congress with overwhelming support, the
oddly-named Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection
Act was designed to eliminate 'bankruptcy of convenience.' The
perceived problem is that many compulsive gamblers, shoppers and
drug users often run up huge debts on easily available credit
cards with no intention of paying their bills. A relatively easy
bankruptcy filing through Chapter 7 of the Federal bankruptcy
code wipes all the debts clean and gives the debtor a ...

Change in Texas Law May Make Reverse Mortgages More Popular
Texas was one of the last states to allow homeowners to take out
home equity loans. Laws going back to the nineteenth century
strictly prohibited home equity lending, as legislators feared
that unscrupulous lenders would take advantage of homeowners for
the purpose of seizing their homes through foreclosure. This
made it impossible for citizens of the Lone Star State to use
their equity for home improvements, debt consolidation or paying
medical bills, as homeowners in other states may ...

The ONE Law You Should Be Breaking
There is a law all smart people break.
Parkinson's law.
Parkinson's law states that "work expands so as to fill the time
available for its completion." It was first coined by C.
Northcote Parkinson in the book Parkinson's Law: The Pursuit of
Progress.
A common derivation of that is "expenses rise to meet your level
of income." Has that happened to you? It happened to me in 1991
and I'm particularly aware that it could happen to me again in
2005.
In 1991 I took my BS in finance and started a ...

Time to Seek Out a Lawyer?
Mesothelioma is one of the rarest forms of cancer with "only"
about 2,000 cases reported in the United States. Still, it is
perhaps the most deadly. Those unfortunate enough to have been
diagnosed with the disease generally live 4 to 9 months after
diagnosis. There is, at this time, no "cure" for the
disease---only treatment options that may extend the life and
comfort of the victims of mesothelioma by a few short months.
If you've been diagnosed with mesothelioma, it is important that
you seek ...

Parents -- The No Child Left Behind Law Won't Do Much For Your
Past experience with federal education programs predicts that
the No Child Left Behind act (NCLB) will also fail parents whose
children are doing poorly in school. The federal government has
spent over $120 billion on Title 1 programs for low-income
students since 1965. Yet the literacy rates for these children
today are appalling and the achievement gap between low-income
children and their peers has not closed.
If the U.S. Department of Education wants to give real choice to
parents, they ...

Phenylpropanolamine, or PPH, used to be an active ingredient in

found that patients using PPH were at a higher risk of

Paxil Recall Lawyer Discusses Paxil Addiction
Paxil went on the market in 1992 at the height of antidepressant
drug popularity. It is a member of the class of antidepressants
called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. The
SSRI drugs revolutionized antidepressants because they have very
few side effects and it is practically impossible to overdose on
them. It makes sense not to prescribe a depressed person with
pills they can easily overdose with. Though a latecomer to the
SSRI market, Paxil grew successful very quickly by ...

Meridia Lawyer
Following the recall of Fen-Phen and Redux in 1999 (two diet
drugs that cause heart valve diseases) Meridia was released.
Meridia is a diet drug similar to the ones that were recalled.
Like the recalled drugs, it releases serotonin into the brain to
trick the patient's body into feeling full and choosing to eat
less. These drugs do not so much remove weight from the body as
they do encourage and facilitate a lifestyle involving lower
caloric intake.
Meridia is different from the older drugs, ...
