It takes only a weekend to getyour house ready for the comingmonths and a few tips can keepthings well-maintained:
Stay warm and brightBefore the weather turns, check
windows and doors to make surethey seal properly. If not, re-caulkany openings and install weather-stripping. Doing so will save moneyon heating and costly future repairs.
During the winter months we getless daylight and keep lights onmore often. To compensate, installenergy-saving compact fluorescentbulbs, which come in a variety ofcolors ranging from warmer tonesthat are like incandescent bulbs tocool blue "daylight" colors. Theyalso last up to ten times longer thanregular bulbs.
Deoderize your homeBaking soda goes a long way in
removing odors from kitchen appli-ances. Place two or three table-spoons in the bottom of your dish-washer and let it sit overnight.When you next run it, odors washaway. Or you can invest in a self-cleaning dishwasher, like the GEProfile SmartDispense line, whichwill save you time all year round.
In order to ensure your beds aresnuggly in the cooler months, airout winter bedding, such as flannel
sheets and down comforters. It'salso a good time to flip mattressesand wash pillows.
Get organizedSpring isn't the only season for
cleaning! When it's time for warmerclothing, it's also time to de-clutteryour closets. Pull out everythingand sort items into three piles: keep,toss, or donate. If you haven't wornclothing this season, decide how toget rid of it.
Make sure you have enough light-ing in closets to maintain good orga-nization. The right light bulbs makea big difference, especially whenyou're reaching into your closet anddon't want to confuse those brownand purple sweaters. Choose bulbsthat reduce dull yellow rays andmake colors pop, such as GE RevealCFLs that use a special phosphorblend to provide pure, clean light.
You can also use lighting to spotlight parts of a room, drawingattention away from less tidy areas. For more lighting tips, visitGELighting.com.
Clean those rugsAfter a long summer with the
family traipsing in and out of thehouse, your rugs and carpets haveseen lots of wear and tear. Muddyfootprints, sports equipment andwet swimsuits can take their toll.
Now is the time to steam clean rugsand carpets before the holidayentertaining season.
You can do-it-yourself by rentinga commercial steam cleaner or hir-ing a cleaning service. Considersteam cleaning drapes, sofas, chairsand other upholstery at the sametime.
A little preparation now can helpyou save money, stay cozy duringwinter and spend less time cleaningwhen spring returns.
Quick Fall touch-ups for your homeWith the changing seasons, there are many
things you can do to keep your home runningsmoothly and prepare for cooler months.

T he optimum time to deter-mine the best form of proper-ty ownership is before the
property is purchased. All too oftenmarried or domestic partnershipcouples merely default to Joint Ten-ancy or Community Property withRight to Survivorship forms of prop-erty ownership without considera-tion of possible adverse conse-quences to their true intentions forthe property ownership.
Both Joint Tenancy and Commu-nity Property with Right to Sur-vivorship have a “right to survivor-ship” benefit which vests adeceased’s interest in the propertyto survivors automatically withoutprobate or other proceedings. Manycouples create these forms of prop-erty ownership as an adequate formof their estate plan. However, theactions of one person may createsituations which terminate the jointtenancy or community propertywith right to survivorship andextinguish the automatic vesting ofa deceased’s interest and eliminatethe very advantage for which theywere created.
It is important to understand thatthe “right to survivorship” is notirrevocably fixed, meaning thatnothing can prevent one propertyowner from breaking the require-ments and terminating the right.Each owner has the right to sell orencumber the property withoutinforming or acquiring consent ofthe other owners. If one owner sellsor encumbers their share of theproperty, even if done involuntarily,the Joint Tenancy or Community
Property With Right To Survivor-ship will be terminated as well as thedesired right to survivorship.
Another disadvantage of the“right to survivorship” is that theproperty is automatically trans-ferred to the surviving owner.Therefore, the deceased ownerhas nothing to give away; there-fore, preventing a desired gift to aspecific heir.
Often people merely default to the
old Joint Tenancy or CommunityProperty with Right to Survivor-ship without obtaining informationon all the available options thatwould prove more beneficial.

Pitfalls Of Joint Tenancy Property Ownership
Don’t default to Joint Tenancy or Community Property with Right to Survivorship without knowing the facts.
