• 3 BASIC ELEMENTS: SERENITY/COURAGE/WISDOM
• RECOGNIZES THAT LIFE ISSUES ARE CONTINUOUS

• SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports in America, and with its increased popularity, the number of associated injuries has also risen. A new study presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons(AAOS), "Trends in Pickleball- Related Fractures in the United States: An Analysis of the 2002-2022 National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) Database" found that there was a 90-fold increase in fractures over the past 20 years and most occurred in players ages 60-69.

• 1.Ankle Sprains: The quick lateral movements, sharp turns, and sudden stops in pickleball can lead to ankle sprains. To prevent this, consider using ankle braces for support. These devices immobilize the ankle, providing compression and stability, which reduces the risk of sprains and other injuries. Remember that ankle braces should complement proper technique and conditioning1.

  2.Elbow Tendinitis: Warm up before playing to prevent elbow tendinitis. This condition often occurs due to repetitive motions and strain on the elbow joint. Proper warm-up exercises can help reduce the risk1.

  3.Wrist Sprains: While playing pickleball, wear wrist support to protect your wrists. The game involves quick movements and impacts, which can strain the wrist joints1.

  4.Shoulder Injuries: Regularly perform shoulder strengthening exercises to keep your shoulder muscles strong and prevent injuries. The overhead shots in pickleball can put stress on the shoulder joint1.

  5.Knee Injuries: Choose proper shoes that provide good support for your knees. The right footwear can help prevent knee injuries during play1.

  INJURY PREVENTION
• 1. Warm up properly 5-10 minutes before the game.
• 2. Listen to your body: if you have chest pain, severe shortness of breath: stop and rest. If you have a new pain don't ignore it.
• 3. Get proper pickleball gear to use when you play.
• 4. Cross train when not playing pickleball to stay fit.
• 5. Know when pickleball injuries need medical attention.

Key takeaways:

• Deed transfer vs. trust: Deed transfer is simpler but limited to specific property, while trusts offer privacy and avoid probate (court process).
• Recording deeds: Deed transfers need to be recorded at the county recorder's office for validity.
• Advanced directive validation: Check with your doctor for the easiest way to validate your advance directive, which may involve witnesses or a notary.
• Trust property transfer: You need to name a trustee and successor trustee to manage the trust property. The successor trustee records the transfer to the trust after your passing.
• Trust benefits beyond control: Trusts can offer creditor and tax protection in addition to avoiding probate.
• Using a trust for multiple properties: Separate deeds of trust are needed for each property or you can consult an attorney for other options.
• Will addendum vs. new will: Lawyers generally recommend creating a new will instead of an addendum.
• Will revocation due to marriage: A prior marriage automatically revokes the portion of your will related to your ex-spouse. Remarriage revokes the entire will unless you specify otherwise.
• Online trust creation: While services like NOLO exist, consulting an attorney is recommended for complex situations.
• Storing advance directives: Keep a copy at home, give one to your doctor, and carry one with you during hospital admissions. Inform a trusted person where your documents are located.
• Community vs. separate property: In California, surviving spouses generally inherit all community property but not necessarily all separate property.
• Probate in multiple states: If you own property in another state, there might be simultaneous probate proceedings in both states.

• Why you need a plan: Ensure your assets go to your loved ones and avoid probate court delays and expenses.
• Wills vs. Trusts: Wills are simpler but require probate, while trusts avoid probate but have upfront costs.
• Benefits of Trusts: They offer privacy, control over asset distribution, and potential creditor protection (with irrevocable trusts).
• Alternatives to Wills and Trusts: Joint tenancy, beneficiary designations, and pay-on-death accounts can bypass probate for specific assets.
• Creating a Will: It's a signed, dated document witnessed by two people. California allows for handwritten "holographic" wills.
• Creating a Trust: A more complex option requiring an attorney. Assets need to be formally transferred to the trust to avoid probate.
• Different Trust Types: Revocable trusts offer control, while irrevocable trusts may offer tax benefits and creditor protection.
