Choosing a Moving Company for Your Business Move

Choosing a moving company is a big decision. Not only for your finances, but also for your business and peace of mind. When it comes time to make the big move, keep these things in mind...

1. Don't wait until the last minute or you might get stuck with a bad company or a high price.
2. When calling a mover, make sure that you have the following information at hand: a list of items to move, moving date, where you are moving from and the destination, and approximate value of the items you are moving.
3. Make sure the company is licensed. If the company is not licensed, think twice!
4. Check their record with the Better Business Bureau and ask for references. Ask around. A company that has been around for a while, will likely have a reputation.
5. Ensure that they have insurance adequate to cover the value of your property. Also, ask questions about what items are covered. For instance, many times, boxes that you pack yourself are not covered.
   

After asking lots of questions and selecting the right moving company, you can have peace of mind knowing that your property is in good hands!

How Do I Handle Fraud in Title Insurance?

Handling fraud in any situation is difficult. When it comes to title insurance, there are some things to keep in mind. First, let's define title insurance. Title Insurance is insurance that covers financial loss as a result of a defect in a title to real estate. Second, we need to know what period the insurance will cover. When we buy commercial property or auto insurance, we are covering our business or auto from the time we purchase the policy until that point in the future that the coverage is canceled. With title insurance, though, it works in reverse. Title insurance covers from the moment you purchase your commercial property and into the past. If you are sued after you close on the property, then the title insurance may not cover you. Finally, title insurance issues can be quite tricky, especially with commercial real estate. To ensure that you are covered for everything you need, talk to your attorney or your title company. You may even consider asking for extended coverage on your title insurance to cover you from your commercial real estate purchase into the future.

New Area Code

By  now, probably most everyone in the 918 area has heard that we will be getting a new area code.  It will no longer be simply 918.  Now we will be adding area code 539.  The hardest part for most of us will be getting adjusted to using a 10 digit phone number every time we call.  To ensure that we are all ready for the new area code and 10 digit calling, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission has set up a practice period before the 10 digit calling is required.  Keep these dates in mind:

• July 7, 2010- You should have received a notice in the mail with dates and information about the new area code.
• August 7, 2010-  "Permissive Calling Period Begins"-  you can call using 7 or 10 digits.
• March 5, 2011- "Permissive Calling Period Ends"-  you will now be required to use the 10 digit number.
• April 1, 2011-  New 539 area codes will be available.  You can also request a 918 area code phone number if one is available.
• Spring 2012- 918 area code phone numbers are expected to run out.
  

The same long distance rules will apply for the 539 area code.  Simply put, if you can call a 918 area code now without long distance, you will be able to call 918 or 539 without long distance.  If you pay long distance to call 918, then you will also pay for the 539 area code

CASA- Court Appointed Special Advocates

Court Appointed Special Advocates give children in the custody of the State a voice in court. Many children who have been removed from their homes are thrust into a system of attorney's, case workers, Foster homes, judges, and a host of other representatives. CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge to speak for a child in the "system" to give the child a voice in the courtroom. As a Foster parent for twenty children over the past 13 years and an adoptive parent to seven children, I have witnessed first-hand the need for CASA in the lives of these children.

Your support of CASA whether financially, by spreading the word to your friends, or by volunteering to represent a child, will make a lasting difference in their future. Find out more about CASA here.
