For some retirees, however, stretching a retirement account too far can result in big penalties from the IRS. According to a recent article from Daily Finance, most people who are 70 1/2 years or older are required to take a distribution from their traditional IRA or 401(k) before the end of the year; those who have just turned 70 1/2 in 2012 have an extended deadline, until April 1 of 2013.

When you are involved in any type of accident that results in personal injury, liability will need to be determined before compensation can be sought. This may seem like a fairly black and white proposition, but it seldom is. In every accident, there are at least two sides. In some instances there are more, many of which you may fail to account for. So, how do you decide who is at fault in an accident? You don't. You leave that up to an experienced personal injury lawyer. Why Hire a Lawyer? When you sustain a serious personal injury, there will be an immediate ...

The acts of biting and chewing are so automatic that many people rarely stop to think about the mechanics behind them. These mechanics - including the proper actions of bones, nerves, muscles, and teeth - work together to make basic functions happen without effort. Unfortunately, even the slightest problem with one part of this intricate network can result in painful symptoms and a condition known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Inner Workings of the Jaw Your jaw is a hinged joint with the capacity of moving up and down, and side to side. The movement of ...

Commercial landlords and tenants are generally sophisticated business professionals, and want to uphold their reputations and maintain good working relationships with their business contacts. However, mistakes can happen and misunderstandings can develop. When a commercial tenant and a landlord have a problem, trying to settle things informally is not always enough to resolve the situation.

Professional truck drivers receive specialized training for handling the large vehicles that transport cargo on the state's many major roads. When a truck accident occurs, victims need to understand their rights to ensure that they receive due compensation and are not intimidated by legal teams from large companies. A recent major accident on Interstate 10 southwest of Beaumont brought potential dangers of the presence of super truckers, who travel fast to meet quotas or delivery times, to light. The 140-car pileup in Thanksgiving traffic allegedly resulted from a combination ...

One Pennsylvania worker recently found out the hard way that violating a company policy can have real world consequences. In the case Dougherty v. Philadelphia Newspapers, a truck driver lost his workers' comp wage replacement benefits when his employer discovered he had been carrying a loaded handgun in his work truck in violation of company policy.

Few of us want to admit it, but nearly everyone who lives to see old age will reach a point where they are unable to manage their affairs.

When this happens, most people end up having their affairs managed by a friend or relative. Unfortunately, financial misdeeds are one of the most common forms of elder abuse. Too often, the person entrusted to manage the elder's ...

Around this time every year the great migration begins - and no, I am not referring to the v-formation exodus of geese flying south for winter, but instead the countless retired "snowbirds" who flock to warmer locales such as Florida in order to avoid the frosty northern weather. And while the gentle warm Florida breezes are usually a welcomed relief from the bitterly cold winds of the north, there are many logistical hurdles snowbirds have to deal with when managing their two different households. For example, snowbirds need to make arrangements for someone ...

Sometimes, what you thought was your dream home can turn into a nightmare. Excessive heating and cooling costs, high property taxes, oppressive mortgage payments; the expenses associated with homeownership can quickly spiral out of control. Bankruptcy can be a great way to get out from under oppressive debt, and many consumers choose to surrender their home during bankruptcy in order to completely wipe the financial slate clean. But, even if you surrender your home, it will likely take weeks or months before the eventual sheriff's sale. While you are trying to get your ...

When a child's parents do not live together -- either because they have divorced or because they were never married -- the noncustodial parent will usually be required to make regular child support payments. Child support is designed to ensure that the child has the support and care of both parents, even if he or she only lives with one of them. Child support payments can be expensive, but parents who are considering missing payments really should think twice. Missed child support payments don't just hurt the child -- they can also subject the parent to severe criminal ...

A Florida family experienced quite a surprise one recent Monday morning: a large gaping sinkhole in their front yard. Although the homeowner claims the sinkhole was only 25 feet wide when first noticed, it enlarged to nearly 60 feet wide and ten feet deep before engineers believed it was done growing. It should come as some relief that it is believed that the roots of nearby trees were the only thing that stopped the sinkhole from swallowing up the whole sidewalk. Unfortunately however, the Daily Mail reports that the Florida homeowner has no sinkhole insurance, meaning ...
