INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although generally you can make a simple living trust by yourself, you may need assistance if you have complex or significant assets. You also may be able to buy a book or use an online trust preparation service, either of which typically cost less than $100. However, if you hire an attorney to prepare your trust documents for you, expect to pay upwards of $1,000. Keep in mind you can always draft your documents and then have an attorney look over them to make sure you've met your intent. Typically attorneys charge less to review documents than they would to prepare them. Each state has its own requirements for creating a living trust. While most forms will be sufficient, an experienced estate planning attorney licensed in your state will be able to determine immediately if your trust documents meet your state's requirements. If you want to draft your trust documents yourself, you should be able to find free templates or sample living trusts on the internet. Make sure the form is approved for use in your state, and that it will cover the assets you plan to include in your trust. Some forms may not work if you have a large estate that exceeds federal estate tax exclusion limits. The first sections of your trust include your name, the name of your trust, and the type of trust you are creating. Since you are creating the trust for your property, you will list your own name as the grantor. The name of your trust doesn't have to be fancy. Just use your own name and identify the type of trust it is. For example, the name of your trust could be "the Sally Sunshine Revocable Living Trust." If you're using a form or sample as a guide, you can largely copy this language but read through it and make sure you understand what it means. While you are alive, you are considered the trustee of your own living trust. After you die, your successor trustee will take over and distribute your property to the people you've listed as beneficiaries. As trustee, you have the same rights and abilities to use, transfer, or sell your property as you did before you created the trust. After you die, your successor trustee will manage and distribute that property to the beneficiaries you've named. Your successor trustee will be responsible for reporting any income earned from the trust assets and transferring property ownership from the trust to your listed beneficiaries. The trust's beneficiaries are the people who will inherit the assets you place in the trust after you die. You can list the property separately on your declaration, or you can create a separate schedule of property and refer to that document. For example, you might write "At the death of the grantor, the trustee shall distribute the trust property in accordance with Schedule A, attached." To list the property and assets included in the trust, write a separate document and attach it as a schedule to your declaration of trust. By creating a separate document, you can easily amend it later on without having to execute an entire declaration all over again. You generally have the ability to change the assets in your trust whenever you want. If at any time you decide to take something out, or if you acquire a new asset you want to add, just update your schedule and change the property ownership documents to reflect the trust.

SUMMARY: Consider consulting an attorney. Search for forms or templates. Name and identify the trust. Establish the identity and responsibilities of the trustee and successor trustee. List the beneficiaries of the trust. Create your schedule of property.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make it a habit to turn your air conditioner off while letting the fan blow a few minutes before you reach any destination. Try to do this about three to five minutes before turning off your engine. Letting the fan blow a few minutes after turning off the A/C will help dry your vent system, preventing mold growth. Never let anything collect around your A/C intakes. Brush away debris weekly, or more often if necessary. Leaves and other debris that accumulates around the windshield cowling are a leading cause of mold growth in the A/C vent system. Every two or three months, choose a warm, dry day to clear out your A/C vents using the fan blower. Open all the car doors, make sure the A/C is off, and turn the blower on max. Regularly drying out your vent systems using this technique will prevent future mold growth.

SUMMARY: Turn the air conditioner off before reaching your destination. Keep the air intakes clear of leaves and other debris. Run the blower without the air conditioner on periodically.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When laughter strikes before you can stop it, excuse yourself. This gives you time to calm yourself and take a few deep breaths before rejoining everyone. Learn to recognize the sensation that comes before you laugh, and try to identify your laughter triggers so that you can excuse yourself in time. Go to the restroom if you're at a funeral or in the office. Walk away or get back in your car if you're at an accident scene. Leave the room if someone's said something inappropriate. Put your hand over your mouth and make a coughing sound. If the laughter continues, use the coughing fit as an excuse to go to the restroom, where you can compose yourself. This works well for times you start to involuntarily laugh before you have a chance to stop yourself. You can also pretend to blow your nose. Tell the person you often cope with upsetting feelings by laughing, then say you're sorry if the reaction hurt them. Opening up to them will likely make them understand where you're coming from, and it could help relieve your laughter by making you less nervous. Say, "I'm so sorry for laughing at your father's funeral. I want you to know that I didn't find anything funny, I just laugh when I feel sad. I hope that I haven't hurt you."

SUMMARY: Move to a private location when you start to laugh, if you can. Cover up your laughter with a cough, if you don't have time to leave. Apologize for your laughter, if it still happens.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Read your rice cooker's manual on the amount of water to add, as some state 1/2 cup while others state 1 cup. Insert the steam rack as well. You will want to stack them on the steam rack, about 2/3 full. Be sure that nothing is underneath it, or else they might get boiled. You can always add the bigger/thicker pieces on the bottom and smaller/thinner pieces at the top. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f4\/Steam-Carrots-in-a-Rice-Cooker-Step-6Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Steam-Carrots-in-a-Rice-Cooker-Step-6Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f4\/Steam-Carrots-in-a-Rice-Cooker-Step-6Bullet1.jpg\/aid2125050-v4-728px-Steam-Carrots-in-a-Rice-Cooker-Step-6Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

Set the timer on at the same time you push the rice cooker on. Leaving the appliance on a "warm" setting will still continue to cook the food. This stops all of the cooking process.

SUMMARY:
Add the water. Add the carrot slices. Steam the carrots. Turn the rice cooker off and unplug it. Drain the carrots and use running cold water on them.
