"The focus of this paper is life insurance as an estate planning tool. The paper examines the role of life insurance, various types of insurance available, and pro and con arguments related to each, where applicable.

Abstract
This paper explains that a trust is best described as a safety box where an individual can hold assets before they are released to the people or organizations designated to receive them; however, this safety box is established in the form of a deed and is a separate legal entity. The author points out that a valid will stipulates to whom assets should be distributed; a living will stipulates what life-saving medical procedures are desired in the event a person becomes physically or mentally incapacitated. The paper stresses that the gift-tax exclusion, which enables an individual to give away, tax-free, $11,000 a year (indexed for inflation) to each beneficiary, is one of the simplest and most inexpensive strategies for saving estate taxes.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the most popular and beneficial estate planning documents is a revocable living trust, which allows the settler to keep complete control over his/her assets and ensure that the assets are passed on to the beneficiaries without delay or unnecessary cost. With a revocable living trust, the title of any assets is transferred from the owner as an individual to the trust but the owner does not relinquish control, meaning he or she can still buy, sell, transfer or borrow. The trustee manages the assets for the benefit of the beneficiary. With living trusts, the trustee is often the settlor. In this case, when the trustee dies, a successor trustee steps in and takes control of the management of the assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries. The assets do not have to pass through probate because they are no longer in the owner?s name as an individual. Instead, they are titled in the name of the trust. The beneficiary can receive the benefits from the trust without the need for court and hiring an attorney."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Estate planning is an activity which is often delayed or ignored entirely by individuals. For some, the very concept is itself morbid, reminding the individual of their own mortality. Others assume that they do not have sufficient assets, or they lack heirs, to make estate planning worthwhile. Still others who could benefit significantly from estate planning simply do not understand the tax benefits that can result. Changes in tax law made in recent years offer increased benefit to those estates which implement trusts as part of their structure, and trusts can also help heirs avoid costly probate proceedings. This research considers the basics of estate planning and the tax consequences that follow.

Abstract
Business is constantly changing, and personnel planning and the selection process directly affect trends in globalization, technology, and diversity. In order to be successful, companies must develop plans for recruiting and retaining personnel in the convenience store industry. This paper provides an article review of "Eye on the Asian Market", Bill Stephens, and discusses personnel planning, selection tools, and their effectiveness within 7-Eleven.
From the Paper
"Globalization, technology, and diversity trends are just one of the many challenges that 7-Eleven H.R. faces. Although these areas are a challenge, H.R. has been extremely successful managing these areas. In the past, 7-Eleven staffed its operation by running ads in the local paper or using an employment agency. This has changed significantly. The effectiveness of 7-Eleven?s automated screening process has enabled applicants to apply within minutes, rather than calling a phone number out of an ad and waiting for an interview to be scheduled."

"Currently most performance measures are developed internally by the organization (Isham).

Private standardization is better than no standardization, but this is not likely to lead to the changes needed on a national level to help control the crisis."

"Today?s largest carrier of personal lines insurance originated over a friendly game of Bridge played in 1930 on a Chicago area commuter train. Sears president Robert Wood and a friend, insurance broker Carl Odell, joined forces after the insurance man suggested Sears sell auto insurance through the mail. Wood liked the idea, financed the company, and in 1931, put Odell in charge of the operation. The company, named Allstate, was named after one of the Sears? tire brands. Allstate got its beginning just as Sears was starting its push into retailing. As Sears grew, Allstate grew with it, selling insurance out of all of the new stores."

Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
"As a component of the social insurance system in Sweden, health insurance and health care are financed via compulsory employers' contributions and individual social security contributions deducted from incomes (Swedish Institute, 2001). As further explained by the Swedish Institute, the 18 county councils that administer social insurance programs finance the costs of medical care directly from an income tax levied on all those living in the county who are in paid employment. According to the Swedish Institute, approximately 80 percent of tax revenues go to running the health care system and to subsidizing patient fees. Patients assume a proportion of the health costs when consulting a health care service, ranging from approximately 8 to 38 dollars. While all of Sweden?s residents are entitled to compensation for medical care, those individuals who have earned at least $750 annually through gainful employment are entitled to cash benefits for loss of income while ill."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In life insurance the insurer agrees to pay compensation to the policy owner upon occurrence of an undesired event and the compensation is paid for the same, this undesired event can be death or accident or any other event which causes damage to the policy owner. In return the policy owner pays a premium, which can either be a stipulated amount or can be lump sum. There are many terms included in the most of the policies, one such common term is suicide, if the policy owner commits suicide the policy becomes null in other words the policy holder will be paid no compensation if he commits suicide. Another common term is the face amount; this is nothing but the initial amount which is paid by the insurer to the policy holder when the policy becomes mature."

Abstract
The writer of this paper defines re-insurance as a basic method of underwriting insurance. Re-insurance falls mainly into two categories, the first being facultative re-insurance and treaty re-insurance, which are both handled by two separate companies. This paper details how both methods of insurance operate as well as how insured Americans are directly affected by these types of policies. This paper also discusses the individual risks involved with these forms of insurance as well as how downsizing and mergers have impacted the industry creating a shortage of qualified underwriters.
From the Paper
"One area where Facultative Re-insurers are concentrating their efforts both in training and research is in the environmental area. Here the losses from just one storm, or earthquake or any other natural disaster is very costly for all concerned. While this effort continues and as clean up after the fact of a disaster we're seeing such improvements as "storm resistant" construction, rapid rescue techniques, and many other improvements all precipitated by the Facultative Re-insurance Industry. And there are constant changes being made in order to reduce costs and improve life in general for the insured public."

Abstract
This paper explains that most policies refer to one person as the ?named insured?; the entire insurance policy covers this person and the liabilities of this person, and nothing else. The author creates a new coverage, a special day insurance, which will protect the insurer when he organizes some of his own special days, such as birthdays, weddings, wedding anniversaries, public holidays, and celebrations of any nature; the only requirement will be that the function will have to be legal, and the insurance cover will lapse the moment any illegal activities are performed. The paper outlines the business plan including the marketing strategy for this sort of policy, through the media and sold through independent agents.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are many examples how the insurance companies get around the problems of providing payments for the damages caused to those who are non-insured. This happens because the price of insurance has to be kept very low due to the competitive nature of the business. Let us take an example from the auto insurance business. Here in some cases, only the named insured has to give permission to others for the use of the vehicle. Here the definition of the person who is permitted is given as ?Anyone else while using with your permission a covered auto you own hire or borrow?. The definition of the ?you? has also been given. ?Throughout this policy the words ?you? and ?your? refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations.? This may create quite a confusing situation. If there is a vehicle, which has the owner as ?Bradley Inc? and that entity is the named insured."

"One of the most famous insurance providers in the world today, Lloyd's of London came into existence in 1688. Edward Lloyd owned a coffeehouse in London where merchants and bankers evaluated the risk of the maritime operations of seafaring vessels used for trading among the various British colonies and those used for prospecting new lands. Financiers for the expensive endeavors and trips to far off lands invested huge amounts of money in the hope that the voyages would be successful. Ship captains required money for supplies and goods, and would offer to embark on these dangerous trips with the help of these financiers?a potentially, mutually beneficial endeavor."
