IN THE MATTER OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY, ET AL.

CONSENT ORDER, ETC., INREGARD TO ALLEGED VIOLATION OF SEC. 5 OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ACT Docket C-3731. Complaint, April 14, 1997--Decision, April 14, 1997 This consent order prohibits, among other things, a Texas-based corporation and its officer from making certain false, misleading or unsubstantiated claims concerning the benefits and appropriateness of living trusts or any legal instrument or service they offer and requires the respondents to clearly and conspicuously disclose to consumers that such trusts may be legally challenged on similar grounds as wills, that living trusts may not be appropriate in all instances, and that the transfer of an individual's assets into a living trust is not included in the price of creating the trust. Appearances For the Commission: Elizabeth M. Palmquist. For the respondents: Tony Chiccio, Chiccio & Associates Dallas, TX.

COMPLAINT The Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that The Administrative Company, a corporation, Michael P. Mcintyre, individually and as an officer and director of The Administrative Company, and Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. ("Pre-Paid"), a corporation (collectively, respondents), have violated the provisions of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 45, and it appearing to the Commission that a proceeding by it in respect thereof would be in the public interest, alleges: PARAGRAPH 1. Respondent Michael P. MclIntyre's current address is 4328 Hollow Oak, Dallas, Texas. Respondent The Administrative Company has ceased doing business. Its address is the same as that of Michael P. McIntyre. Respondent Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., is an Oklahoma corporation, with its principal office or place of business at 321 E. Main Street, Ada, Oklahoma.

PAR. 2. Respondents, at all times relevant to this complaint, have advertised, promoted, offered for sale, and sold living trusts to consumers. A living trust is a trust into which an individual can place all of his or her assets during his or her lifetime and, by transferring Complaint 123 F.T.C.

ownership of the assets to the name of the trust, thereby remove the assets from the individual's estate.

PAR. 3. The acts and practices of respondents alleged in this. complaint have been in or affecting commerce, as commerce is defined in Section 4 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. PAR. 4. In the course of marketing their products to the public, respondents, directly or through commissioned sales agents, have caused to be disseminated sales literature concerning living trusts, including, but not necessarily limited to, the attached Exhibits 1 and 2. This literature contains the following statements: (a) It is your legal right as a UNITED STATES Tax Payer to establish a Living Trust. By establishing a Living Trust, at your death your estate avoids PROBATING YOUR WILL which can COST SEVERAL THOUSANDS of dollars in legal and executor fees and TAKE SEVERAL YEARS before being transferred to your family and loved ones. YOU RETAIN FULL CONTROL OF ALL ASSETS! YOU COULD SAVE THOUSANDS OF HARD EARNED DOLLARS! Exh. 1. (b) A LIVING TRUST eliminates ALL PROBATE FEES and COST... . With a LIVING TRUST, your family will not have to go through probate, and can avoid paying expensive probate fees and costs. Exh. 2, p. 18. (c) A LIVING TRUST allows a quick DISTRIBUTION to your heirs. Assets in probate court are often frozen two years or more, even with a WILL. A LIVING TRUST allows these same assets to be distributed within days to your loved ones, since a LIVING TRUST avoids Probate Court. Exh. 2, p. 17. (d) Total assets [pass through a] living trust [to] spouse or heirs [in] 1-3 days. Exh. 2, p. 24.

(e) A LIVING TRUST prevents a WILL CONTEST. . . . Through a LIVING TRUST your wishes will be carried out without interference. Exh. 2, p. 17. (f) Membership entitles you to:

1. FREE LEGAL SERVICES FOR PREPARATION OF A REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST BY A QUALIFIED ATTORNEY IN YOUR STATE AND A FREE POUR-OVER WILL. Exh. 2, p. 8.

(g) AN A-B LIVING TRUST protects against catastrophic MEDICAL COSTS. .. . With an A-B LIVING TRUST, if you become seriously ill, your trustee can make gifts of your property to your heirs, and three years thereafter, can seek government benefits for your care, so that the bulk of your estate will go to your heirs. Exh. 2, p. 19.

(h) Is There Anything Bad About a Living Trust? No. There is nothing bad about a Living Trust. Exh. 2, p. 20.

PAR. 5. Through the use of the statements contained in the sales literature referred to in paragraph four, including, but not necessarily limited to, the sales literature attached as Exhibits 1 and 2, respondents have represented, directly or by implication, that: THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY, ET AL. 1049 1047 Complaint (a) The use of a living trust avoids all probate and administrative costs.

(b) At death, a living trust allows assets to be distributed immediately or almost immediately.

(c) A living trust cannot be challenged.

(d) Living trusts are prepared by local attorneys. (ce) A living trust protects against catastrophic medical costs. (f) A living trust is the appropriate estate planning device for every consumer.

(g) There are no disadvantages to a living trust. PAR. 6. In truth and in fact:

(a) A living trust does not always avoid probate and administrative costs.

(b) The use of a living trust does not necessarily result in immediate distribution of assets since creditors may file claims against the trust instrument.

(c) A living trust is not immune from challenge. (d) Most living trusts prepared for AASC members were not prepared by local attorneys. Instead, of the 3,064 living trusts prepared for AASC members in 43 states, approximately 3,000 were prepared by an Arizona attorney licensed to practice law solely in Arizona and New York.

(e) A living trust does not protect against catastrophic medical costs.

(f) A living trust is not appropriate for everyone. The determination of whether a living trust is appropriate for a particular consumer requires an examination of the assets that compose the consumer's estate, the potential tax consequences of the estate plan, and the objectives of the consumer.

(g) There are disadvantages to a living trust. For example, while probate law imposes a statutory deadline beyond which creditors can no longer file claims against a will, in some states, there is no law limiting the time that creditors may file claims against a trust instrument.

Therefore, the representations set forth in paragraph five were, and are, false and misleading.

PAR. 7. Through the use of the statements contained in the sales literature referred to in paragraph four, including, but not necessarily Complaint 123 F.T.C.

limited to, the sales literature attached as Exhibits 1 and 2, respondents have represented, directly or by implication, that at the time they made the representations set forth in paragraph five, respondents possessed and relied upon a reasonable basis that substantiated such representations.

PAR. 8. In truth and in fact, at the time they made the representations set forth in paragraph five, respondents did not possess and rely upon a reasonable basis that substantiated such representations. Therefore, the representation set forth in paragraph seven was, and is, false and misleading.

PAR. 9. In their advertising, promoting, offering for sale, and sale of living trusts, respondents have failed to disclose that the transfer of an individual's assets into the living trust was not included in the price paid for creating the living trust and that it would be the responsibility of the individual purchaser to transfer assets into the trust, once created, or to arrange for another individual or entity to do so. This fact would be material to consumers in deciding whether to. purchase a living trust and from whom to purchase a living trust. The failure to disclose this fact was, and is, a deceptive act or practice. PAR. 10. The acts and practices of respondents as alleged in this complaint constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act.

A Senior Citizen of Dixon, Iinais joined AASC in June of 1997. In July, 1991, he passed away. His children, rather than beginning the long and costly process of finding an attorney to probate his estate, simply called the AASC members’ toll-free number. A Pre-Paid Legal attorney immediately began to settle the estate. “My father only became a member six weeks ago but we feel so fortunate that he did. We immediately called a provider attorney and were so relieved to learn that we would have the legal work on my father's estate done immediately thanks to Pre-Paid Legal. The service is invaluable,” said the daughter. ©1991, Amencsn Assoc:aton for Senior C.cz27$ Complaint 123 F.T.C.

EXHIBIT 2 (Al dvantages of a Living Trust PROBATE:

A LIVING TRUST avoids a complex PROBATE proceeding. Probate is the court process designed to transfer title of assets to your heirs. A Probate is required even when there is a WILL. The Probate Court procedure is complicated by laws requiring your Executor to obtain special court approval to take any actions, including paying your bills, and distributing your assets. With a LIVING TRUST, the title to property is transferred through the trust, so that your heirs can easily.receive these assets, and will not have to go through complex Probate Court proceedings.

DISTRIBUTION:

A LIVING TRUST allows a quick DISTRIBUTION to your heirs. Assets in. probate court are often frozen two years or more, even with a WILL A LIVING TRUST allows these same assets to be distributed within days to your loved ones, since a LIVING TRUST avoids Probate Court. PRIVACY:

A LIVING TRUST is completely PRIVATE. There is no privacy with a public Probate Court Proceeding.

A LIVING TRUST is a private document, the size and distribution of your estate remains confidential.

4 WILL CONTEST:

A LIVING TRUST prevents a WILL CONTEST. In Probate Court, anyone can easily contest a WILL, even without a lawyer.

Through a LIVING TRUST your wishes will be carried out without interference. CONTROL:

A LIVING TRUST enables you to CONTROL your assets. By making a gift of all of your property to your heirs, you may eliminate probate. However, once the gift is made you have lost ownership of your property, which you may later need far your support.

A LIVING TRUST allows you to retain control of your property, and upon your demise, YOU CONTROL WHEN AND HOW MUCH YOUR BENEFICIARY WILL RECEIVE. t3E91 Amercar Asscc.at.cn for Semer C.ucers THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY, ET AL. 1069 1047 Complaint EXHIBIT 2 DISABLED HEIRS:

A LIVING TRUST preserves benefits for DISABLED HEIRS. A disabled their generally loses government assistance payments upon receiving an inheritance. A LIVING TRUST can authorize your successor trustee ta make special distributions for a disabled their while still preserving government benefits. PROBATE FEES:

A LIVING TRUST eliminates ALL PROBATE FEES and COST. Probate fees are based on the entire value of an estate, without deducting bills or mortgage. The probate expense can be as much as the following, or more: GROSS ESTATE SIZE APPROXIMATE EXPENSES $100,000. $10,000.

$300,000. $30,000.

$50,000.

$500,000.

This example also applies to all other mortgaged property owned in every state. If a couple owns property in four states there would be four probates required, With a LIVING TRUST, your family will not have to go through probate, and can avoid paying expensive probate fees and costs.

JOINT TENANCY:

A LIVING TRUST avoids JOINT TENANCY problems. Joint tenancy is a method of avoiding probate, where, upon death of one co-owner, the survivor becomes the full owner of the property.

1. As an owner, your child has the power to interfere with your decision to sell or refinance the property.

If your child should go through divorce, the other spouse may claim an interest 2.

in the property.

3. If your child should owe taxes, the tax collector may take your property to satisfy the tax obligation.

4. If your child should be found liable in any lawsuit, your property may be sold to pay the judgment.

With a LIVING TRUST, probate is entirely avoided and there is not exposure of your assets to the debts or liabilities of your child. CONSERVATOR:

A LIVING TRUST avoids a CONSERVATOR. If you ever become incapacitated, the Probate Court will appoint a conservator to manage your property, and your estate will be required to pay court fees and costs for the conservatorship each year. With a LIVING TRUST, your trustee can manage your property if-you are unabie to handle your affairs, and there are no court fees and costs. ©1§91, Amencan Association lor Senior Ciuzens Complaint 123 F.T.C.

EXHIBIT 2 | INCOME TAXES:

A LIVING TRUST saves sizeable INCOME TAXES. When a couple holds property or stocks in joint tenancy, the surviving spouse is required to pay a Capital gains tax upon sale, This tax is based upon one-half of the increase in value of the property since the time of its purchase, :

In a LIVING TRUST, title is transferred into the trust. This entirely eliminates the Federal Capital Gains Tax on all increases in value up to the date of death. ll ESTATE TAXES:

An A-B LIVING TRUST saves substantial ESTATE TAXES. Estate taxes are paid to the federal government for the transfer of property upon death. Federal estate taxes are based on the size of the estate and are imposed where the net value of an estate is larger than SGOO,000.00. The Federal Estate Taxes are almost onehalf of the estate after deducting $600,000.00. A Living Trust saves substantial estate taxes as follows: APPROXIMATE TAX SAVINGS NET ESTATE $ 800,000, $ 75,000.

$1,000,000. $153,000.

$1,200,000. . $235,000.

l MEDICAL COSTS: . .

AN A-B LIVING TRUST protects against catastrophic MEDICAL COSTS. If you ’ : should ever require care.in a convalescent hospital or long term nursing home, the medical expense. could eventually wipe out your estate, thereby denying you the opportunity to leave your property to your loved ones. With an A-B LIVING TRUST, if you become seriously ill, your trustee can make gifts of your property to your heirs, and three years thereafter, can seek government benefits for your care, so that the bulk of your estate will go to your heirs. ia 185%. Amencsn Assaciatcn fer Senor Cczers THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY, ET AL. 1071 1047 Complaint EXHIBIT 2 questions Most Commonly Asked Q: Is There Anything Bad About a Living Trust? A : No. There is nothing bad about a Living Trust. Itis a traditional and well-proven estate planning tool that has been used, in one form or another, for hundreds of x years.

Any problems people have with a properly prepared Living Trust have nothing to do with the trust itself, but with the property left out of it because they failed to change titles and beneficiary designations to the name of their trust. The trust still works - but any property left out risks being probated. If you desire to completely avoid probate, all assets must be in your Living Trust. It does not take much time to change the titles and beneficiary designations, and once it is done your Living Trust is easy to maintain.

Q: Where Should | Keep My Living Trust Documents? A: We suggest that you make several copies of your original documents and give a copy to each of your back-up trustees. Make sure you tell them where the original documents are located. We suggest you keep the original trust document in your safe deposit box or another safe place and keep one copy at home so you can review it from time to time. (Make sure your safety deposit box is titled in the name of your trust, so your back-up trustee will have no trouble gaining access) Q: Can | Put Out-Of-State Property Into The Trust? A: Yes, you can, and in fact, you should. If you do not transfer out-of-state property into your trust, your heirs will need to have a separate probate in each state in which you own real estate. This may result in probate fees for each state. If, however, the property is transferred into your trust, the probate systems of all of the states involved are avoided.

Q: What If | Move To Another State? A Call Pre-Paid Legal at 1-800-654-7757 to locate a Pre-Paid attorney nearest you. Ask for a review. Most states follow the same general rules, so if something needs changing, only those parts are changed that need to be under the laws of that state. You do not need a completely new document. What If | Buy Property In Another State? Before you buy property in another state, especially real estate, check to make sure it can be titled in the same way as in your home state. A bank or title insurance company in the state where the property is located can tell you if the title you want to use is acceptable in that state.

pi £7991, Amencan Assocation for Serwor Citizens Complaint 123 F.T.C.

EXHIBIT 2 Q: Does Transferring Property Into a Trust Cause a Reappraisal Of The Property So That Property Taxes Are Raised? AA: No, it does not. Revenue and Taxation Code 62 specifically states that a transfer into a Revocable Living Trust does not cause a reappraisal of the property. How Should Property And Accounts Be Titled? As a general rule, all of your property should be titled in the name of your trust. Here are some examples:

ah) If you are single: ‘ .

“(your name), Trustee under trust dated (insert date you signed your trust." If you are married: 2 “(your name and your spouse's name), Trustees under trust dated linsert date you signed your trust)."

Very often you will see the letters “UTD" used as a shortened version of the words “under trust dated." : .

If 1 Qwn Partial Interest In Property With Others, Can | Transfer That Interest Into A Trust? ;

Yes. You can transfer your share of any property into the trust without affecting the shares of the others.

» oO Q: If 1 Want To Sell Assets Or Add New Assets To The Trust, Will | Need To Return To The Attorney's Office Each Time? No, you will not. You can sell assets and add new assets yourself without requiring a change of the trust.

ps Can I Sell Assets | Have In The Trust Without Any Complications? Yes, you can. You can freely sell your property even if it is in the name of the trust. The only difference will be that escrow company officials may ask for a copy of the trust documents.

ane) Can IRAs, KEOGHS And Other Tax Deferred Investments Be Transferred Into The Trust? IRAs, KEOGHS and other tax deferred investments cannot be transferred into the trust. However, the trust can be the beneficiary of those investments. Each case must be discussed with an attorney to determine whether it is better to name the trust as beneficiary, or the individuals themselves as beneficiaries. PO €1SS1, Amencan Assec-at.cn for Sener Citzers THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY, ET AL. 1073 1047 Complaint EXHIBIT 2 Q: What About Adding Other Persons On My Accounts, Deeds, Etc.? Never add another person on the title of your property or your accounts (this includes parents and children) without first checking with your attorney. It could cause you or your family some very serious problems, possibly even defeating the purposes of your trust or exposing you to a lawsuit. pe : There is no special time to change your trust, although it is a good idea to review your living trust at least every year. As a general rule, you should change your trust anytime it no longer is what you want. Any major change in your family, such as marriage, divorce, death, adoption, birth, etc. should cause you to think about your trust. If one of your trustees/guardians can no longer fulfill their responsibilities you should make changes accordingly.

QO: When Will | Need To Update My Living Trust? A Remember that you should keep a separate list of your Special Gifts. Q: How Do! Fund My Trust? A: YOU CAN FUND YOUR TAUST BY THE FOLLOWING THREE STEPS: Go to your bank and change the name on savings, money market and certificate 1.

of deposit accounts to the name of the family trust. Also, place trust in safety deposit box.

2. If you own stocks or bonds, contact your stock broker to change the name to the name of the family trust.

3. Finally, if you have real estate, you may use the Guick-Claim Deed to transfer it yourself or you may contact a title company to transfer the title to the name of the family trust.

EXHIBIT 2 reventing These Situations A LIVING TRUST WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS SITUATION: Martha had been a widow for just one year when she put all of her property, including her house, into joint ownership with her married son. She did this thinking that when she died, her property would automatically go to her son without the need for probate. Several years later, her son and his wife.separated and Martha decided to sell her house so she could move in with her son. But she soon discovered she could not sell the house without her daughter-in-law's signature on the deed. The daughter-in-law was-still legally married to her son and was entitled by law to a “marital interest” in the property. The title company would not insure clear title to the buyer without the daughterin-law's signature because it was not clear what her “interest” would be — and the daughterin-law refused to sign unless she got part of the money when the hause was sold. Martha was stuck! She did not know that joint ownership with a married person can include that person's spouse. And because Martha had placed her house in joint ownership, Martha lost control of her awn home.

A LIVING TRUST WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS SITUATION: Bill and Agnes were an elderly couple who put everything they owned ... including . their home and stock... in their adult unmarried daughter's name. They believed that this would avoid probate and that all of their property would pass directly to their daughter who was an only child, when they were both gone. A year later, Bill died of a heart attack. Several months after that, the daughter was killed in an auto accident. Agnes never believed she would survive both her husband and daughter. To add to her distress, Agnes now owned nothing in her own name. Everything was in her daughter's name! She was forced to probate her daughter's estate to get back her own property. During this long process she had to rely on the court to grant her living expenses. Sometimes the court would approve expenses. . . sometimes not. And during a declining stock market, she helplessly watched the value of her stocks fall to only a fraction of their previous value because the court could not react in time for them to be sold quickly enough. Agnes lost her financial independence plus a substantial portion of her assets to probate .. . just trying ta get back what was hers in the first place. THE CONSEQUENCES IF A JOINT OWNER CANNOT SIGN: Most married couples own their property jointly, and they assume that if one of them becomes disabled or incompetent, the other can continue to take care of their personal and financial affairs without interruption. But look at what happened to Henry and Mary:

Henry and Mary were successful and responsible adults. They made safe investments and planned carefully for their future. They owned everything jointly and even had WILLS, leaving everything to each other. But in just seconds their lives changed dramatically, Henry was in a tragic car accident, and suffered extensive head injuries and #3951. Amencan Assce:at.cn tor Senor C.uzens THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY, ET AL. 1077 1047 Complaint EXHIBIT 2 brain damage. Mary could continue to write checks and pay their day to day bills because only one of their’signatures was required on their checking account. But soon the cash started running out, and Mary realized she needed to sell some of their investments, and maybe their house, to pay for Henry's care and the other bills. Mary was unable to sell any of their jointly owned property without both signatures, and since Henry could not sign his name, the only way Mary could sell their property was to place Henry into a probate guardianship and have the court sign for him. Henry's WILL was no help at all because he was still alive. Mary had no idea how expensive and cumbersome this legal “joint ownership” can be. Not only did she have to deal with Henry's situation and the effect of this tragedy on their personal lives, but she also had to deal with the court system. She was especially frustrated that she had to pay for the court to approve the sale of their own property and then get the court's approval on how Henry's share of that money was spent — even when it was used to pay their personal bills and take ‘care of Henry! When Henry finally died more than five years later, Mary found herself back in probate court — this time to probate Henry's WILL R THE SAME THING CAN EASILY HAPPEN TO YOU if you own property through joint ownership. Many older parents list their adult sons or daughters as joint owners on their property (especially real estate and C.D.s), mainly to avoid probate when they die. And many mistakenly assume that their adult child will automatically be able to take over for them if they become disabled or incompetent. Most people just do not know how easily joint ownership can lead to a probate guardianship. ©7591. Amencan Assoc-aton fer Semor Citzens Complaint 123 F.T.C:
