Livonia, Michiga...
Cut all your pattern pieces to include the 5/8 inch seam allowances. Place the two pieces that will be joined/lapped (ie: front bodice joining back bodice at side seams) right side up (the piece that will feature the exposed seam is facing up) - that will be referred to as the 'outside flap'.
Take the outside flap piece and trim 1/2 inch off of the seam allowance using a rotary cutter and straight edge ruler.

Six months ago, the only shelter that the 1.4-acre parcel wedged between Grant Avenue and the back of Dribbles' Car Wash and Burger King provided was for a homeless encampment amid rubbish and weeds.

W S Mezzanotte, D J Tangel and D P White
Pulmonary Division, Denver Veterans Administration Medical Center, Colorado 80220.
Published May 1992
Pharyngeal collapse in obstructive sleep apnea patients is likely a product of a sleep-related decrement in pharyngeal dilator muscle activity superimposed upon abnormal airway anatomy. We postulate that during wakefulness, increased pharyngeal dilator muscle activity in apnea patients compensates for diminished airway size thus maintaining patency. We studied the waking genioglossus (GG) electromyogram (EMG) activity in 11 OSA patients and 14 age-matched controls to determine if GG activity is higher in the awake state in apnea patients than controls. To make this determination, we developed a reproducible methodology whereby true maximal GG EMG could be defined and thus basal activity quantitated as a percentage of this maximal value. Therefore, direct comparisons of basal activity between individuals was possible. We observed apnea patients to have significantly greater basal genioglossal activity compared to controls (40.6 +/- 5.6% vs. 12.7 +/- 1.7% of maximum). This difference persisted when size-matched subsets were compared. This augmented GG activity in apnea patients could be reduced with positive airway pressure. We speculate that this neuromuscular compensation present during wakefulness in apnea patients may be lost during sleep leading to airway collapse.

"Good Room, bad Breakfast"
Room was great but the morning scrambled eggs were very bad, either cold or strange tasting. Also the office chair in the room would tip over if you leaned too far back. I would stay there again and have recommended it to my friends.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Needs updating"
First, the hotel is hard to find. It is behind another hotel and the driveway is not easy to find. The check-in staff was friendly and efficient and the room was very clean but the hotel is in need of repairs. The furniture was in bad shape and there were chunks worn off the bathroom door. Definitely too high priced for the condition. On the positive […] side, breakfast was great. Eggs, biscuits and gravy, waffles, fruit in addition to the usual continental items.

"thin walls and ceiling"
We stayed at this hotel during family weekend at Texas State University. Everything was great until we turned off the TV at night. We were located on the 3rd floor and could hear every neighboring door open and close. We heard every step down the hallway all.night.long. Not only that but I swear there were elephants in the room above us. We heard each […] step and the light fixture on our walls vibrated also. We all slept horribly! We complained twice to the front desk clerks, Adrian and a young girl and they offered no solution. Breakfast was also mediocre at best! Will definitely NEVER stay here again! Not a bit satisfied with hotel or its staff. 100% satisfaction guarantee was stated but never honored either! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Only Place We'll Stay"
Not only are the rooms clean and fresh, but all the staff are friendly and accommodating. Customer service is their priority and they exemplify excellence. Don't stay anywhere else when you're in San Marcos because this place is the bomb! Thank you for our late check out too.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean hotel, small rooms"
The room was clean, but very small for 2 adults and 2 kids. Once the foldout is engaged, you can barely walk. Shower was great. Faucets in the bathroom were either hot or steaming jot so all had to brush their teeth from the bath faucet. Didn't try the pool because it was murky. Fitness facility is a joke.

Hotel clerk refused my confirmed Hotels.com reservation. Rude guy told me to cancel and buy from a room at the same price from him. Long conversation with H.com and after 30 min hotel received another confirmation from H.com. I got some credit from H.com and they apologized for the whole situation. Anyway, I did not get a room I paid for. They sent […] me to room #410 designed for people with disabilities. This room also was located directly under A/C roof unit which made my stay a nightmare because of all night noise and vibration. It was my first and last stay at overpriced Hampton Hotel.

"Best night's sleep in awhile!"
We were moving our son into college and absolutely exhausted. Our room was a RETREAT. The bedding was clean, soft and high end.

We will definitely return next time we are in town!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Clean bedding, but dirty mattress"
Everything seemed nice until my son crawled into his bed and it smelled of urine. The bedding might have been clean like the hotel boasts, but the mattress was not and the smell was intense. The floors felt sticky too. They moved us into a bigger room and in the end they didn't charge us for our 2 night stay. It was disgusting and left a bad memory […] for our summer vacation.

"Good for shoppers"
This was a good place to stay for outlet shopping. Restaurants nearby. Great breakfast at hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok but not great"
This hotel was quite expensive for what you get. Our room was mediocre( and very small)The bathtub was so marked up and stained it looked filthy. The room is dated but ok. I guess I just expect a nicer place when I pay so much. The elevator makes a horrible sound that makes you think it will stall. We went down to breakfast - which was not what we expected. […] If you like sausage mixed into a white gravy and biscuits then go for it, but we put our plates back and went to IHOP down the road. I wish I would have stayed somewhere else with at least a decent breakfast especially because I know we were charged for it even though it's "complimentary". Check in was great-- hotel lobby looks nice and the area is good- with several other hotels next door. Overall an ok stay but a bit of a disappointment. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

No parking, a/c did not cool. Bed was clean an some what comfortable. It was quiet but not what I would have expected from La Quinta. Very outdated, they retrofitted wires for smoke detectors and lamps.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel"
Hotel was clean and was a nice place to sleep clean rooms and staff was friendly. Only thing that was sub par was the breakfast other than that it was great.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Dissapointed Stay"
I have stayed at this hotel before and was overall pretty happy with it. But I am not sure if it was just my room or the general condition of the rooms of this hotel but they really have lost their attention to details. There were just a lot of things that needed to be taken care of... For example there was a large slit in the couch cushion, large scratches […] on the coffee table, the bathroom door at the bottom had clearly had some water damage and was making it warp. The internet in the hotel is AWFUL. I even paid for the "premium internet service" my second night and it still was only about 1-2MBps. The lobby, parking lot, breakfast area is fantastic but once you step foot in your room its down hill. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hampton Inn San Marcos, TX"
The Staff was amazing and the hotel was very clean and modern. While the beds were clean and decently comfortable, the pillows were horrible. Our party of 3 woke up each morning with stiff necks and sore shoulders/back. If the pillows could be changed out the comfort level would improve by a landslide.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nothing Special"
Old hotel, dirty carpets. Hallway on 4th floor had a nasty smell. Breakfast buffet was slightly above average. Overpriced for what you get.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great hotel for San Marcos"
This hotel is well kept and close to the Texas State campus. I would certainly recommend it whenever staying in the area.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel, convenient location"
We stayed here for four nights. Comfortable beds. Clean sheets and duvets each night. Substantial breakfast buffet. Staff was helpful and friendly. There was a temporary glitch with the wi-fi, which got fixed eventually. I wish they would clearly mark the stairwells. We were on the second floor and could have taken the stairs rather than wait for the […] elevator. However, the wait was never very long. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Hampton Inn--Not what I expected"
The Hampton Inn was booked for myself and my boss for lodging during a conference. The conference was not located in the hotel, but just a short drive down the street. Upon our departure from home, we phoned the hotel to advise them of our late arriva that night, but that we were surely coming. The staff was gracious and had everything taken care of […] when we arrived. The lobby and common area of the first floor was very nice, well cleaned, and typical of a modern Hampton Inn (I've stayed in many). The elevator was clean and well cared for, as were the hallways. However, the room, despite its high level of cleanliness, was out dated. The carpet was old. The floor in the bathroom was also old and outdated. And the closet was not able to be securely latched in the closed position. To an adult with no children, this was just a small variance in normalcy from Hampton, however had my children been traveling with me, I would have taken issue to it. The telephone in the room did not function and the alarm clock was set to the wrong time. There was a very noticable gap between the door and the door jamb/frame that let significant light through when all of the lights were turned out in the room. This is particularly troublesome when you arrive around 2AM and expect to not see a light until your alarm goes off. The breakfast the next two mornings was certainly lacking too. The oatmeal was runny. The eggs were tasteless. And, the juice was too thin from watered down concentrate. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Always meets my expectations"
I love Hampton Inn for the comfort! I have only stayed in one that did not have the most comfortable bedding. We don't spend a lot of time in the room and don't eat there normally. But it was clean and comfortable, the kids were excited to return to the room and find they're stuffed animals placed in the bed taking a nap, nice touch!Genuine Expedia guest review

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Little Monsters go gaga for Gaga
THURSDAY night's spectacle at the MTS Centre might have been light on zany outfits, but you have to hand it to her: Lady Gaga is a consummate showwoman who gives her Little Monsters exactly what they want.
Unless, that is, they wanted to hear something off of a record that isn't Artpop.
Then maybe not.
No matter. If the crowd was at all disappointed, it didn't show it. Taking her place onstage at 9:20 p.m. in front of a legion of adoring imitators in sky-high shoes and a rainbow of wigs, Mother Monster stomped the stage clad in a glittery bodysuit and flanked by an army of backup dancers, marching out four club-throbbers from her muchmaligned third album and inspiration for her current ArtRave tour.
Lady Gaga clearly doesn't care what haters have to say about her latest effort; she plays Artpop almost in its entirety on this tour, save for the ballad Dope (regrettably; it's beautiful) and Jewels N' Drugs (mercifully; it's terrible).
She kicked things of with a breathless four-song suite that included the title track, G.U.Y., Donatella and Fashion!
"It's much better to look good on the inside than the outside," she said, the first of many motivational platitudes of the night.
Indeed, the pace of the show was relentless; no one could say they were bored.
She ditched the bodysuit to embody Botticelli's Venus — complete with mermaid hair and a seashell bikini — for the Bowie-meets-Abba opus Venus, one of Artpop's better songs.
The stage itself was massive with multiple catwalks and the staging was a bit disorienting; it was very easy to lose track of the diminutive pop star.
Still, the show's theatrics never eclipsed her massive voice, which sounded rich and full. It reached the rafters, despite being anchored by a feel-it-in-your-sternum bass and drum section.
She gave a nod to her back catalogue, playing a mid-set quasi medley of Just Dance, Poker Face and Telephone, before donning a pink-and-blue, squidlike monstrosity — you'll have to conjure a mental image, Mother Monster doesn't allow professional photography at her shows — for a beautiful rendition of early hit Paparazzi and an athletic version of Do What U Want.
Gaga then sat down to the piano for a stripped-down piano version of Born This Way. Maria Aragon didn't join her onstage this time, but another fan did, tearful at the opportunity.
She reclined on a hot pink bed for Sexxx Dreams, clad in black leather pants and sports bra combo with a green wig (pretty tame for Gaga). Mary Jane Holland and Alejandro — B-side material at best — followed, bringing with them the night's first dip in energy.
All eyes were on her, though, when she did a choreographed costume change onstage — complete with a glimpse of bare Gaga bum. Her stagehands helped her into a florescent J-pop-inspired costume for a fists-in-the-air performance of Bad Romance.
Artpop single Applause proved to be a crowd pleaser, even getting the nosebleed section on its feet. She put the rave in Artrave with the raunchy Swine, which came with the night's most frenetic light show and choreography. Props to the tireless dancers.
Looking like Judy Jetson on her wedding day, she took to the piano for the show's big closer, Gypsy.
Born This Way was the only track she played from her best album, 2011's release of the same name. There was no Edge of Glory, You and I or Marry The Night — estimable, arena-worthy anthems whose absences were felt. Still, Lady Gaga got the applause she lives for. And the applause she earned.

One of the important lessons of security is that weak links get exploited. A NY Times piece on weak third party systems that are often attached to systems that are supposedly secure.
Companies have always needed to be diligent in keeping ahead of hackers — email and leaky employee devices are an old problem — but the situation has grown increasingly complex and urgent as countless third parties are granted remote access to corporate systems. This access comes through software controlling all kinds of services a company needs: heating, ventilation and air-conditioning; billing, expense and human-resources management systems; graphics and data analytics functions; health insurance providers; and even vending machines.
Break into one system, and you have a chance to break into them all.
"We constantly run into situations where outside service providers connected remotely have the keys to the castle," said Vincent Berk, chief executive of FlowTraq, a network security firm.
Data on the percentage of cyberattacks that can be tied to a leaky third party is difficult to come by, in large part because victims' lawyers will find any reason not to disclose a breach. But a survey of more than 3,500 global I.T. and cybersecurity practitioners conducted by a security research firm, the Ponemon Institute, last year found that roughly a quarter — 23 percent — of breaches were attributable to third-party negligence.

Some drones - quadcopeters for example - have software that translates commands from a remote pilot or a navatigation computers, into signals that control the flight of the craft. A group at ETH Zurich has added a very robust failsafe capability that might be important as drones begin to fill our skies.

A signed Lou Gehrig baseball glove could fetch up to $300,000 at an upcoming auction.
The glove was a gift from Gehrig to a 12-year-old son of a songwriter more than 80 years ago.
The autographed mitt is enscribed with the words "To Howard. I hope you have much luck with this glove as I did. Lou Gehrig.''
It refers to Howard Henderson, now a retired architect living in Connecticut.
While there's no proof that Gehrig used the actual glove in any baseball games, organizers selling the glove on behalf of Henderson say there are pictures of Gehrig wearing similar glove in the 1930s.
The auction takes place July 15.

Rob Kardashian and Adrienne Bailon may have broken up five years ago— but she won't stop talking about it.
Via RadarOnline reports:
The former 3LW singer, who recently told Latina magazine that Rob had been "disloyal" to her and that being associated with the "Kardashian label" was "so hurtful" to her career, slammed her reality star ex on an episode of her talk show, The Real, last summer.
"People would think that because I was cheated on, I would be like 'He cheated on me!'" she told the audience last July about the troubled 27-year-old, who as RadarOnline.com has reported, is currently suffering from depression and substance abuse issues. "But honestly, I was embarrassed."
She then said that post-split, Rob was "calling me non-stop to get back with me," so she wrote an email from a pretend new boyfriend warning him to leave her alone.
"It was not written by my boyfriend, it was written by me and my girls sitting on the sofa one day," continued the 30-year-old Cheetah Girls alum. "We thought, 'How do we make him stop calling me?' We thought the only way to make this guy stop calling me is if he thinks I have someone new."
Bailon then dissed Rob for taking the email public.
"We said, we're not going to talk about it, it's private. Well girl, he read an email from me out loud on the show!" she said as the audience booed their disapproval.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Rob's protective older sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian bashed Bailon for blabbing about their brother to Latina.
"Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the only reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian," Kim tweeted Tuesday night. "So sad when people try to kick my brother when he is down #FamilyForever."
Khloe later retweeting Kim's comments, and offered a warning to Bailon: "Don't kick my brother while he's down."
When will Adrienne STFU?!? She must want the entire Kardashian klan to fawk her up.

Endo Health Solutions
' (
) top line has been under pressure over the past few quarters due
to declining sales of its key drugs. Sales have been hurt by
generic competition. Endo recorded sales of $584.9 million in the
fourth quarter of 2013, down 22%. Soft sales of painkillers,
Lidoderm and Opana ER hurt the top line.
To combat the generic threat, Endo has been signing deals/making
acquisitions and also looking to introduce new products. The
recent approval of Endo's Aveed (a long-acting testosterone
undecanoate injection) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) is a positive for the company. Aveed has been approved for
treating adults suffering from hypogonadism (deficiency/absence
of the male hormone testosterone).
The FDA approval was gained on the basis of encouraging phase III
data on men suffering from hypogonadism in the U.S. The 84-week
study evaluated men with an average age of 54 years and a serum
total testosterone level below 300 ng/dL. Taking into account the
risks associated with the use of Aveed, the drug will be
distributed through a strict Risk Evaluation and Mitigation
Strategy (REMS) program.
The path leading to the approval of Aveed in the U.S. has been
anything but smooth. The FDA issued a complete response letter
(CRL) to Endo on Aveed in the second quarter of 2013 due to
safety concerns. Endo subsequently resubmitted the new drug
application (NDA) addressing the concerns. The FDA accepted the
resubmitted NDA and gave a favorable decision after reviewing the
With the U.S. approval in hand, focus has shifted to Aveed's
commercialization. Aveed will compete with drugs like
Auxilium Pharmaceuticals

) Testim and

) AndroGel in the market.

On March 29, United States Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) introduced S.668, The Health Care Bureaucrats Elimination Act, legislation that would repeal the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). Sections 3403 and 10320 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) created the IPAB. ASA strongly opposed the inclusion of IPAB in PPACA and supports the repeal of IPAB.
IPAB is a new independent commission tasked with putting forth proposals to "reduce cost growth" and "improve quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries." The commission must recommend cost-saving initiatives to reduce per capita Medicare spending that exceeds a government determined threshold. The Commission is also authorized to make recommendations to "constrain the rate of growth in the private sector" as well. The Commission's recommendations can become law without Congressional action and cannot be challenged in court. IPAB is effective January 1, 2014.
The legislation is cosponsored by Senators Pat Roberts (R-KS), John McCain (R-AZ), Tom Coburn (R-OK), John Barrasso (R-WY), Richard Burr (R-NC), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), James Inhofe (R-OK), Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and John Thune (R-SD).
Legislation to repeal IPAB (H.R. 452) has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Phil Roe (R-TN).

Senior Executive Service:
Investigating Distinguished Rank Award Nominees
GGD-86-86BR: Published: Jun 19, 1986. Publicly Released: Jun 19, 1986.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) policy of charging agencies a fee to investigate senior executives agencies nominate for a distinguished rank award under the Presidential Rank Awards Program.
GAO noted that up to 6 percent of Senior Executive Service (SES) executives may receive rank awards each year. GAO found that OPM: (1) recommends to the President fewer than half of the distinguished rank award nominees after qualification evaluations; (2) interviews several of the nominee's coworkers, verifies the support for the award nomination, and evaluates the nominee's character and reputation; and (3) began charging a fee for the investigation in 1986 as a result of budget cuts. GAO felt that OPM is not authorized to require agencies to reimburse it for conducting rank award investigations and should change its investigative practices by investigating only those nominees it decides to recommend to the President for an award.

Pre-Thanksgiving Nourishment for the Soul:
Take Your Creativity off the Back Burner and Cook up Something Fantastic!
FOR 30 Days of WRITING SPARKS DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX, Sign Up To Your Right
Do you know what NaNoWriMo IS? (Hint: it's not a Native American word.)
I first heard of NaNoWrimo from the teen writers who came every Thursday afternoon to cozy up here in the living room with the peach colored walls. The girls told me that NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and happens every November. People of all ages from all over the world take on the challenge of writing 50,000 words in 30 days.
Little revitalizes like creativity! Do you want to play this November, too?!
You can choose any writing intention that tickles your creativity bone!
As one man said, "Did I write a good novel? Hell, no! I wrote a crappy one, but I wrote almost every day for a months and OMG what fun!"
If you'd like to be writing, this is a great time to dive in and take advantage of the global, playful momentum during this coming month. In addition, 30 days is said to be ideal amount of time for launching a new behavior or habit!
This isn't about "shoulds" or adding more to your To Do list. This invitation is to play and, in the process, to reap the healing joys of writing.
You can choose to write a novel, if that sounds intriguing, or try whatever other kind of writing appeals to you.
Frame your intention in any way you wish that feels inviting to you: e.g., you might decide to write daily or a certain number of times weekly for 15 minutes (more or less). Write whatever flows through you or choose a particular focus or genre calls to you, e.g., writing a life review, letters, or poetry; trying your hand at blog posts, essays, or fiction; journaling more creatively, etc. There might be a book living in you like a hushed (or not so hushed) secret. What a great time to dive in!!!
If you feel inspired to play and write creatively this month, I'd love to support you!
I will send out a "SPARK A DAY*" in November, beginning with some tips for choosing your writing intention. Sprinkled throughout will be inspiration about writing!
*Caution: Receiving a spark a day, does not mean you have to use it! You can adapt it, let it spark something else, tuck it away to spark you another time, or just ignore it.
Sign up to join in the fun and receive your FREE sparks!
FOR 30 Days of WRITING SPARKS DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX, Sign Up(in the green box above)!
Please share the word and this invitation with friends and family members, including partners, daughters and sons. To engage creatively together is life-enhancing.
Nourish your soul before the Thanksgiving Feast.
Bring your creativity to the front burner and cook up something fantastic!
Yours in the great joy of creating,

Keeps popping up saying it can't find my location when I'm not even using the app. And it's now draining my battery! Get it fixed quick before I install an alternative!

Does exactly what I need.

4yrs in and I still use this everyday in my commute. Genuinely couldn't live without it - easy to use and accurate 99.99% of the time... My only issue is it's design. It's a bit stale, and looks like it's a few years out of date. Could look a lot simpler, brighter and cleaner in my opinion. Other than that, no complaints whatsoever!

Estate Planning: How to plan for Washington state's death tax
Death & Taxes
Send this to a friend
- Don Kurth, Guest Columnist
The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 permanently provides for a federal estate exemption of $5 million, indexed for inflation ($5.25 million in 2013). As a result, most taxpayers may have no federal death taxes. However, the Washington state death tax is still in play.
When a Washington state resident or someone who owns Washington property dies with net assets worth more than $2 million, the person is liable for paying Washington estate taxes. The graduated tax rates range from 10 percent to 19 percent. These state estate taxes are deductible against the federal taxable estate and reduce the federal estate tax payable, if any. Currently, Washington and Oregon are the only western states with an estate tax.
For current lists of states:
— With estate taxes go to: www.wills.about.com/od/stateestatetaxes/a/stateestatetaxchart.htm
— With inheritance taxes go to: www.wills.about.com/od/stateestatetaxes/a/inheritancetaxchart.htm
— With no death taxes go to: www.wills.about.com/od/stateestatetaxes/qt/nostateestatetaxes.htm
Here are some suggestions for how to minimize Washington estate taxes:
Consider establishing residency in another state that has no estate tax, and little or no income taxes. This would include spending the majority of your time at your non-Washington residence in order to establish residency in that state.
Remain a Washington state resident, but plan to make lifetime gifts to reduce the value of your estate to below the $2 million threshold. Unlike federal law, Washington state does not add back lifetime gifts to determine their taxable estate value.
Use your annual gifting amount, which allows you to donate $14,000 per year per person, to reduce your net assets to the $2 million level. Annual gifts above $14,000 require federal gift tax returns. Direct payments to either higher-education schools or medical providers are not considered gifts and are not limited to $14,000 even though they benefit a family member. You might also consider gifts to qualified charitable organizations.
You could transfer your home (in advance) into a Qualified Personal Residence Trust to remove that asset from your estate. This option requires professional assistance and a federal gift tax return with proper appraisals.
Review your will or revocable living trust with state estate taxes in mind.
Plan for qualified farmland and timberland exemptions. If you own farmland or timberland, you could reduce or avoid the Washington estate tax on those assets if you plan properly.
If you don't live in Washington state but own real estate or store tangible personal property here, consider restructuring the ownership to create non-Washington intangible assets. A transfer of individually owned assets into a business entity, such as a limited liability company (LLC), would transform your personal ownership into LLC member units. Most states treat LLC units as "intangible personal property." While intangible personal property is still part of your potentially taxable estate, Washington's tax formula reduces the tax on such intangible "non-Washington assets," depending on their value compared to the value of Washington assets.
If you live in Washington state, consider restructuring ownership to create non-Washington real estate and tangible personal property assets.
If you are married and your assets are community property, some of these decisions can be postponed until after the first spouse dies. Because of the marital exemption, you can elect to defer Washington estate taxes on assets over $2 million if your will or living trust is correctly drafted. For example, if a couple has $6 million in assets, the first spouse to die would own one-half, or $3 million. The exemption is $2 million. The personal representative can defer the tax on the $1 million that is otherwise taxable by transferring the assets directly to the surviving spouse or into a marital trust. These deferred assets would be includable in the surviving spouse's estate to the extent not spent during his or her lifetime.
It's imperative that you plan in advance to best protect your assets for your surviving family members and those you care about. Washington residents with net assets of more than $2 million (whether single or married) are advised to speak to estate planning professionals to find ways to minimize the Washington estate tax.
