4 Ranch Roundup JULY/AUGUST 2018



DEERFIELD SPRUCED UP WITH NEW LANDSCAPING

Hey, Ranch neighbors, have you driven down Deerfield Avenue lately? In response to concerns voiced by our RHOA Board about the greenbelt’s unkempt appearance, the city has created a totally revitalized greenbelt along Deerfield.

Dennis Chiotti, Irvine Landscape Maintenance Superintendent, began the Deerfield Avenue beautification several months ago.

In April, work started with the irrigation and turf improvements. Then, in May, trees and shrubs began to be planted to fill in the bare areas from Nantes to Normandie. Now the flowering plants have filled in the areas around the trees. What a treat!

Thanks to the RHOA Board for its tenacity on this subject. In case you don’t live on the that side of the Ranch, don’t typically drive to the Deerfield exit or just hadn’t noticed the sad state of the greenbelt, below are some Before photos of the same areas to help you appreciate the After photos above.

REALTOR EMMA CHU SPONSORS COOL ICE CREAM SOCIAL FOR

RANCH GRADS

Ranch realtor Emma Chu wanted to say Congratulations! to the Ranch’s June grads with an Ice Cream Social on June 9, 2018. It was a great success! More than 110 ice creams were given out from the ice cream truck Emma sponsored. She also held a raffle in which Skinner Street resident Mary Ann won a $30 gift card.

Emma said, “I am happy about the turnout considering it is our first event.” Because June 8th was the last day in school for the Irvine School District, she scheduled it on June 9th, to let the kids have ice creams to kick off summer. Emma reported that parents and other families also had fun. “They were in the Ranch Park just getting to know their neighbors. Many newcomers in the Ranch felt they moved into a wonderful and close-knit neighborhood,” according to Emma.

Emma is very grateful to have this opportunity to give back to the community for allowing her to service the homeowners for their real estate needs. “Thanks to all the support from The Ranch HOA over the years to my business, I would like to make it an annual event, or more often if I can,” Emma noted.

What a cool and refreshing way to start summer vacation. With our July temps hovering around 100 degrees, who knew we were going to want ice cream every day?

WINNERS!


When choosing the most advantageous charitable giving strategy, individuals must evaluate a number of factors, such as their need for current income, their desire to control and preserve assets during life and after death, their specific charitable intent, as well as important tax management issues. Charitable estate planning techniques can help achieve many of these objectives. Donor-advised funds, family foundations, and charitable remainder trusts (CRTs)/charitable lead trusts (CLTs) are available to individuals and their families. Donor-Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund is a tax-advantaged charitable giving vehicle that offers maximum flexibility to take tax deductions and recommend grants to charitable organizations. By definition, donor-advised funds are public charities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and contributions to such funds are tax deductible.

Donor-advised funds are particularly family-friendly, as parents and children can consolidate their giving activities through a single fund account. In addition, children can be named as successors to a fund, ensuring the continuation of a family’s giving legacy.

Another significant advantage of a donor-advised fund is its capacity to accept any one of a variety of assets as a charitable contribution. Checks/wire transfers, commercial paper, mutual fund shares, securities, bonds, and restricted stocks all are acceptable assets. In addition, the account has the potential to grow over time, increasing the donor’s giving power. Family Foundations: Building a Legacy, Reaping Tax Benefits

A family foundation derives its assets from the members of a single family, in which the donor and the donor’s relatives play a significant role in managing the foundation. Aside from helping families channel their philanthropic ambitions, family foundations can form a legacy of community involvement and responsible citizenship for generations to come. As their founders soon realize, family foundations offer potential tax and estate planning benefits. Private Foundations Versus Supporting Organizations

There are two types of family foundations: private foundations and supporting organizations. Private foundations, the more common of the two, offer more lexibility and control (i.e., they can select and oversee their

own board of directors and grant-making decisions),

IPD SPOTLIGHT – STAY INFORMED

This column is presented by Irvine Police Crossroads Area Lieutenant Noelle Smiley.

The Irvine Police Department is committed to sharing information with the public. This month’s article will discuss several media used to communicate information related to public safety and/or police activity.

Sign up for emergency notifications at AlertOC.org

The City of Irvine has transitioned to a new mass notification system, AlertOC. This important tool is used to notify residents and businesses of emergency situations.

By registering with AlertOC, time-sensitive messages from the City of Irvine will be sent to your home, mobile or business phone, or e-mail account.

Public Safety officials utilize public mass notification systems to rapidly send out messages when there is a perceived, emerging or imminent situation that may require action, such as evacuation.

This county-wide system replaces the City’s former platform, iAlert. All residents who signed up through iAlert have been automatically transitioned to AlertOC and should have received an email alerting them to the change.

Residents are encouraged to visit AlertOC.org to sign up.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU RECEIVE AN INHERITANCE

At some point in your life, you may receive an inheritance when a family member or loved one passes away. One of the questions we often get asked about revolves around how to make smart money moves when this type of event happens. Here are some of the things to consider if money or property is bestowed upon you.

1. Do nothing for 60 days

When people inherit property, investment assets, or collectibles far too often I see people immediately buy themselves something or sell assets too quickly. Make sure you take a complete inventory of everything you received, revisit your financial plan, and just simply build yourself a due diligence period before making any concrete decisions. Allowing this time to pass will give you the ability to make more fact based than emotional decisions.

2. Understand Tax Implications

Based upon the size of the overall inheritance, you could potentially owe estate taxes which will be due 9 months after the date of death. Certain assets may have received a step up in cost basis which could affect the timing on when you want to sell certain assets. If you have inherited qualified assets such as an IRA, 401(k) plan, or an annuity, there will be financial choices that involve complex tax decisions. Be very thorough with businesses, real estate, collectibles, and investment assets on what the income tax implication will be to your bottom line.

3. Pay Off Debt

Do all the financial calculations you want. Most stockbrokers or investment advisors will assure you that they can do better over the long term with your money than the after-tax cost of borrowing on your debt. After almost twenty years in the business, the happiest people I have counseled are the ones that have little to no debt. Pay off your non-deductible consumer debt first, and then pay off any other debt you can afford to with the leftovers. It may not be a trip to the Bahamas, but doing this will really build a great foundation for your financial plan.

4. Create A Cash Reserve

If you don’t already have one, take at least 6 months of your total expenses, and put your inheritance in cash reserve type instruments. A savings, money market, or credit union type account will work just fine. With an official unemployment rate of roughly 10% in the United States, this will give you some financial security should something unexpected happen with your job.

5. Get Sentimental Items Appraised

You will find that collectibles and jewelry you inherit have never been appraised or you may not be able to find the original receipts. Find a trusted credible appraisal source to learn the true value of these sentimental items. Take a healthy amount of time to decide what you want to keep in the family, and what you may want to sell on the open market. You may need to get a physical safety deposit box, a safe, or scan photos for an online safety deposit box. You should call your insurance agent as well as you may now need additional floaters or riders for your homeowner’s insurance policy.

6. Make Sure To Get Insurance On Real Estate

Once you secure the title to the real estate property, make sure to check all property records around back taxes. In addition, call your insurance agent to make sure you have all appropriate homeowner’s and/or umbrella insurance policies that are necessary. Examine the property closely to see what repairs may need to be made to the home.

IRVINE CITY CODE VIOLATIONS

If someone on your street is not following city codes as far as maintaining their home, there is a phone number you can call to report any violations:

Call (949) 724-6000 and ask for Code Enforcement.

Someone from the city will make a home visit and address the situation. You do not have to leave your name or phone number to file a complaint.

7. Review Investments & Your Financial Plan

The investment portfolio you inherit will have an asset allocation based upon the deceased person’s risk tolerance, time frame, and tax brackets. Since your situation is unique, this is an appropriate time to look at the overall

asset mix and decide if it is too conservative, too aggressive, or just right. You should review how the

type of investments fit in with your overall financial plan, and if there is a better structure of these assets to help you reach your goals.
