Heart Continued from page 8 This month’s report from Judge Sarkis February is Child Safety Restraint Awareness month. As such, I wanted to discuss a disturbingly consistent trend that we see in the courts - individuals who not only fail to use their own seat belts, but also fail to properly secure their children inside their vehicles In spite of the recently implemented Click it or Ticket campaign designed to enforce seat-belt use in Arizona, the local courts regularly see drivers in violation of the state’s safety-belt requirements. Even more concerning are the numerous child-safety restraint violations. Based upon the latest data available from the National Highway Traf fi c Safety Administration, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children from 3 to 14 years old. Research also has shown that child- safety seats reduce fatal injury by 71 percent for infants (younger than 1) and 54 percent for toddlers (1 to 4 years old).

Domestic Partners is a term used today to refer to people who live together but who are not married. Today, many older adults live with a brother or a sister, and they would be con- sidered Domestic Partners. Domestic Partners also include same sex couples or nonmarried, heterosexual couples. Domestic Partners usually are very close to each other and know the wishes of the other. A Domestic Partnership Agree- ment or Property Agreement can set out the partners’ desires about shared living expenses, property ownership and estate planning. Without a Domestic Partner Agreement, family members may get involved and try to prevent a partner from living in the other’s home or using assets as the partners had desired. The Domestic Partner Agreement can put both part- ners at ease that their agreement to share expenses and care for each other is binding. Domestic Partners can also confer legal rights on each other with powers of attorney for finances and health.

We had heard that selling a home in our price range could take up to a year, but you were able to get a contract within the fi rst three weeks and see the entire process to closing within two months. How amazing! We really think that this happened primarily because of your spot on pricing, your recommendations for sprucing up our home before listing it, and your negotiating skills. We value the relationship that you established with both of us from the onset and appreciate the way that you communicated what was happening with the sale throughout our transaction. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is selling a home in this challenging market and wants an enjoyable process as well as a positive outcome. Many thanks.”-- Karin Graves PENDING
