What is a good faith violation in a margin account and how can investors avoid it?

Are the funds in your irrevocable trust funds safe from the financial crisis?

It depends on where the funds are invested. Banks have FDIC insurance up to certain levels. Otherwise, stocks, mutual funds and so on depend on the market value. You will always have the number of shares you started with. Wait it out and the value will come back--selling at a low price may be shortsighted. However, it is always your choice.

In the UK: No. If you are confident no claims will be made against the estate and or you have waited the statutory period before distribution then you can make an interim distribution.

When settling an estate do you have to wait for everything to sell before getting money or do you get funds as they come in?

you must wait until the house sells, and all bank accounts are accounted for, life insurance, and other earnings the deceased may have had. money is not dispersed as it comes in because nobody knows the amount of the estate yet, estate taxes have to be paid first. and if the deceased had unpaid bills, loans, ect. then all that has to be satisfied. once all those things are done, and there are no surprises. then you will receive a letter from the probate court telling you how much all the heirs will be receiving. if there is money left after bills, funeral costs, or unpaid bills. all this can take anywhere from 2weeks to literally years. so hope it all goes fast for you...it should go smoothly as long as there are no objections from other heirs.

What can you do if the executor won't settle my moms estate?

Usually there are steps to be followed before the estate is finally settled. Depending on the state, there is an ending date, which might be a year later. There is also an extended period of time for bills to be presented to the estate for payment. The thing to do is to wait, offer any help or documentation if you have it, and wait some more until the estate is settled. Becoming an issue with the executor certainly will not speed things up.


How long does it take to divide the estate among heirs?

This depends on the estate, the jurisdiction (what state) and the executor. In my mother's estate, there were three releases sent to the heirs. The final release had to wait for the "Tax audit release" proving that the Canadian feds weren't going to audit her taxes. That took sixteen months. But the executor cut the first check at just under two weeks. Officially nothing should be distributed until the tax people are finished. The executor might have to make up the lost funds to the government.
