DEAR MR. DAD: I'd like to get my children started on an allowance. Is there a way to set up a meaningful and reasonable system? Answer: The best thing to do in setting up a family allowance policy is to take a moment to think about why you're doing it.
Neither Vicki nor Duane Miller served in the military. So, it might seem odd to some that their five daughters, ages 6 to 16, chose to remember a group of veterans many Americans tend to forget -- those in the Veterans Affairs' Pittsburgh adult day care program -- for their annual "allowance project.
Probate court did not abuse its discretion when it equally divided the $40,000.00 family allowance, pursuant to R.C. § 2106.13(B)(4), between the decedents three minor children. Judgment affirmed.
Although the administration of a decedent's estate in Colorado is a reasonably well-organized, logical and efficient process, it can still sometimes take many months, and even years, to complete. In the meantime, the family of the decedent may have a need for money to, say, buy food. Noting this, our legislature, in creating laws governing estate administration, has provided a couple of tools. One is the family allowance. The other is a family member's right to exempt property.
A recent column in the Wall Street Journal took on the subject of allowances, quoting advice from "experts" on how parents should structure an allowance system. Now, I'm a big booster of allowances -- which I define as a fixed amount of money that children receive on a regular schedule, with the understanding that they will pay for certain agreed-upon expenses. But based on my experience with my own three kids and that of hundreds of parents I've heard from over the years, I have a different take than some of the "experts" referred to in the story.
DAYTON -- At the age of 10, he purchased his first piece of art with $5 saved from his allowance. My family was on vacation in Michigan and it was a watercolor," says James F. Dicke II.
A child of a decedent who is eighteen years of age or more and for whom a guardianship of the person has been established upon a determination of incompetency is under a legal disability and therefore has not reached the age of majority per R.C. 3109.01, entitling him to share in the family allowance made available to a decedents minor children by R.C. 2106.13(A). Reversed and Remanded.
