Here’s how I’d recommend you go about putting in place the system to ensure that you get the best medical care of your choice. So that you are not constrained for lack of money or forced by insurers to pursue treatments that insurers rather than you would prefer.

These and related diseases are those you yourself are most likely to have to deal with. Read more of this post

wealthymatters

Guinness World Records has announced the World’s Biggest Life Insurance Policy ever issued.

However,neither the record keeper nor the issuer would say who is covered by the massive policy.Dovi Frances, the adviser who arranged the policy, would only say it went to a well-known technology billionaire from California.

The wealthiest of the wealthy often buy life insurance for several reasons.Primary among them are tax purposes.In many countries,a wealthy estate is often hit with a hefty tax bill, and there may not be enough cash to cover it, since many millionaires and billionaires hold their wealth in investments.

This $201 million policy overtakes the previous record of $100 million.It is more complicated than most. It’s underwritten by 19 different insurance companies, each with a slice of less than $20 million. If a single company took the risk of the whole policy they would go into bankruptcy if a claim were to be made.

The yearly premium is in the low single-digit millions.

The BMC now charges builders who want to avail of extra construction rights, called fungible FSI, and transfer of development rights, a premium. Builders require funds to pay  this premium.Hence they start selling units even before a project begins. The  approvals can take over a year after pre-sales.

However many unscrupulous builders have gone for pre-sales when even land titles are not clear.The problem is rampant in Thane district. Read more of this post
