Arkansas Intestate Estate Calculator

Kurt R. Nilson has taken the guesswork out of determining how property will be distributed for those Arkansas residents who do not have a will (also known as passing by intestacy).  His online calculator, which can be found on his website, MyStateWill.com, automatically determines to whom such property will be distributed and calculates the dollar amount given to each such heir.  This tool streamlines the complicated Arkansas intestacy laws, which are some of the most complex of any state.

You can find his Arkansas Intestacy Calculator here.

Another common misconception, with more serious consequences, is the belief that a surviving spouse is always granted all or substantially all of the deceased spouse's intestate estate. (Much about the probate process is also misunderstood.)

Waldon: The Fiscal Cliff: Recession Looms Without Compromise, Leaders in Arkansas Fear

George Waldon of Arkansas Business warns of upcoming tax crisis in his article, The Fiscal Cliff: Recession Looms Without Compromise, Leaders in Arkansas Fear:

The fiscal cliff remains an icon of the hour: a metaphorical escarpment built on a mountain of national debt that stands at $16 trillion and growing.

Threatening to send the economy tumbling over the edge in 2013 is a convergence of possible tax increases and automatic spending cuts intended to reduce the federal government's budget deficit.
