Corporate Law | Estate Planning | Litigation | Public Affairs | Real Estate | Regulatory
Lawyers in this group include those who regularly lecture at seminars on estate planning, the Past Presidents of the Fiduciary Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia, and members of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel.
The attorneys in the Trusts and Estates Practice Group of Gilbert, Harrell, Sumerford & Martin, P.C. have counseled generations of Georgia families on developing estate plans to provide for families and to facilitate the transfer of wealth. Our attorneys seek to develop plans and documents specific to each individual and family, while coordinating sophisticated tax planning and strategies that best work with a family's particular dynamic.
Estate Planning Expand
Our estate planning attorneys focus on preparing wills, trusts, Advance Directives for Health Care, General Durable Powers of Attorney and other instruments to insure a client's desires are met while addressing estate and gift tax, generation skipping transfer tax and income tax issues. Our carefully crafted estate plans are also designed to address the issue of potential future incapacity of an individual, and provide a plan for the aged or aging.
Our attorneys also have extensive experience in planning involving the use of Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs), Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs), gifts of fractionalized interests, and Sales to Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts (IDGTs). Due to the nature of real estate in our area, our firm frequently utilizes Qualified Personal Residence Trusts (QPRTs) to leverage the transfer of the principal residence or vacation home.
Probate and Trust Administration Expand
Our firm represents individual and corporate fiduciaries in the probate process and the administration of estate and trusts. Our attorneys have the knowledge and expertise to effectively handle the administration of large and complex estates, including estates involving significant wealth, interests in ongoing businesses, and assets located in multiple states. Additionally, our lawyers handle estates of all sizes helping families through the transition of assets, property and estates.
For decades our firm has represented trust departments at banking institutions and trust companies to advise the fiduciary in administering documents as well as in planning and drafting documents.
Conservatorships and Guardianships Expand
Our attorneys represent clients in connection with conservatorship and guardianship proceedings. While not a primary focus of our fiduciary practice, as a part of serving as counsel to generations of the same family, our lawyers have assisted in helping families and individuals through contested and non-contested guardianship proceedings.
Trust and Probate Litigation Expand
When necessary, our lawyers represent fiduciaries and beneficiaries in contested probate and trust matters, drawing on the resources of our Trusts and Estates Practice Group and our Litigation Practice Group. Our attorneys provide comprehensive trust and estate litigation and mediation services, including representation in connection with challenges to the validity of an estate planning document, allegations of a breach of fiduciary duty or estate mismanagement, challenges to accountings, claims by beneficiaries and family disputes.
Asset Protection and Business Succession Planning Expand
In today's litigious society high net-worth individuals face an increased risk of exposure to liability. The attorneys in the Trusts and Estates Practice Group advise clients regarding asset protection and wealth preservation strategies, including limited partnerships designed to keep family assets in the family, provide for management of family assets, to educate family members, and to transfer family assets on a tax favorable basis. Our lawyers also advise clients regarding Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), business protection involving the use of corporate entities, multi-generational dynasty trusts and irrevocable trusts.
Our estate planning attorneys frequently advise clients regarding the sale of a business, working in tandem with our Corporate Law Practice Group and the client's other advisors to formulate tax savings strategies for the sale or transfer of a business.
Charitable Planning Expand
Our clients regularly seek to meet their charitable intent through the use of Charitable Remainder Trusts, gifts to Community Foundations, establishing Private Foundations and establishing supporting organizations. Our lawyers are experienced in drafting documents which receive charitable tax treatment for the donor and fulfill the charitable intent of our clients. Additionally, our lawyers regularly advise local and regional charitable organizations on interactions with donors and serve as tax counsel to numerous charitable organizations.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (Reuters) - Record floodwaters that submerged vast stretches of Nebraska and Iowa farmland along America's longest river reached a new crest on Friday at the waterfront city of St. Joseph, Missouri, forcing chaotic evacuations of thousands from low-lying areas.
With emergency sirens blaring as the Missouri River rose to the top of the three-story-high levee wall in St. Joseph, about 55 miles (88 km) north of Kansas City, Missouri, sheriff's deputies rushed door-to-door urging residents to flee to higher ground.
About 1,500 residents and 6,000 employees of neighboring businesses were ushered out of the southern end of town, a city official said. Most of the evacuated dwellings were trailer homes interspersed among factories, warehouses and stockyards along a stretch of the riverfront known as "the Bottoms."
"We don't have anywhere to go. This is overwhelming," said Linda Roberts, 70, as she and her husband, John, 66, packed their SUV, their dog sitting uneasily in a pet carrier.
Missouri River flooding was triggered by last week's "bomb cyclone" storm, which killed at least four people, drowned livestock and closed dozens of roads across a large swath of Nebraska and Iowa. Property and financial losses for the two Midwestern states were projected to surpass $3 billion.
Water entering the reservoir from that storm marked the most ever measured there since recordkeeping began 120 years ago, said John Remus, chief water manager for the Army Corps' Missouri River basin.
The downstream flow, which broke flood stage records at three locations along the river, has placed enormous strain on the system of flood-control levees and dikes in the region. Nearly 50 levee breaches have been confirmed in the Army Corp's Omaha district alone, encompassing the hardest hit parts of Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri, officials told a news briefing.
"The biggest thing right now is the transportation. We're right between Loup and Cedar River, and transportation is nearly impossible," said Ryan Sonderup, 36, of Fullerton, Nebraska, who has been farming for 18 years.
Officials downstream were carefully watching flood gauges in Atchison, Kansas, a community of about 10,000 residents where a handful of riverfront properties and roads were under threat of anticipated flooding.
President Donald Trump on Thursday approved a disaster declaration for Nebraska, making federal funding available in nine counties ravaged by last week's floods. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds on Friday requested an expedited presidential disaster declaration for 57 flood-stricken counties in her state.
The threat of extensive flooding lingers over the wider Midwest and could grow dire in coming weeks with additional rainfall and melting snow runoff, putting more than 200 million people at risk, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said on Thursday.

Saw your other cardboard creations and I love them. Oddly, although it isn't a 3D structure, I especially like the cardboard pizza and I think I might do that this week with the girls. The crust! Genius. So glad MaryAnne linked to your site so I could come see.
Better pictures, in case you want to see.

One month before the release of the highly anticipated RPG sequel, Namco has released some new information on Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Boese (Beyond Good and Evil) for PlayStation 2. Just like its prequel, Episode II will feature two different kinds of battles: Standard character battles and mech battles. While the two were interconnected in Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht (The Will to Power), the development team at Monolith Soft has drawn a clear line between the two types in the new game. Players won't be able to board or disembark their mechs during battle.
The Xenosaga series' basic gameplay mechanics will remain intact, as players can either select different chain attacks by combining triangle and square button sequences, or charge for one turn to unleash a more powerful circle button attack during the respective character's next turn. If an enemy's status is "down", it will be possible for a charged-up character to unleash a special attack. The usage of these special attacks as well as ether (magic) is limited to character battles (the exception being M.O.M.O.'s mech, which will be able to use ether). During mech battles, only powerful deathblows can be executed in their stead. Furthermore, the development has implemented three special features in the character battles: First and foremost are the new combination techniques, known as Double. They will require characters to have at least one point on their boost gauge. Next is the event slot, which will return from Episode I and still offer the same functions, such increasing the odds of a critical hit or filling the boost gauge faster. Last but not least is a feature called Zone. It will allow players to aim their characters' attack at a specific point, ideally the enemy's weak spot. Hitting a weak spot will result sending the enemy into either a "down" or "air" condition. Attacking the enemy in either condition will result in your character's critical hit increasing and the damage inflicted upon your foe increasing by a factor of two to ten (compared to a standard attack).
The number of participants in battles has also been changed. While you can still use up to three characters during character battles, during mech battles you are limited to two robots. Just like in Square Enix's Final Fantasy X however, it will be possible to switch active and passive party members during battle. Mechs will not be piloted by one, but by two characters. Depending on the sub-pilot, the robot's Special (deathblow technique) will change. It will also be possible to unlock secret Specials by equipping special equipment.
Character growth in Episode II will center around skills. While mastering skills, a character's stats will gradually increase and he or she will learn new ether spells.
As previously announced, proud owners of a clear save data of the prequel can look forward to a special "reward" in Episode II. Thanks to a special skill, KOS-MOS and Ziggy will wear swimsuits in battle.
As a new location, Namco has revealed the headquarters of Vector Industries. The gigantic space colony hosts the development facilities of the conglomerate's first research and development division as well as Shion's residence.
In addition to these latest gameplay details, today we also bring you a preview update of Xenosaga Episode II, thanks to Chris Holzworth. Our media gallery for the game has also grown by 42 screen shots and 6 pieces of artwork worth checking out. Enjoy!
Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Boese will be released in Japan on June 24th. The standard edition will be available for 6,980 yen ($62.38 US), whereas the limited edition Premium Box (seen below) will carry a price tag of 17,800 yen ($159.09 US). Fans who pre-order either version will receive a DVD containing all CG movie sequences of Episode I (a total of four hours and 46 minutes) as well as a 15 minute long report focusing on the series' three main female voice actors. The game is set for a North American release sometime in 2005.

VX Network introduces Crypto Marble, a blockchain based board game
VX Network is introducing a new blockchain board game called "Crypto Marble" scheduled for service. Crypto Marble is a monopoly-style blockchain board game that revolves around the world by using markers painted with caricatures of international celebrities.
Crypto Marble will be the world's first blockchain board game to compete with cryptography. Users employ universally known celebrities as their employees and take advantage of their unique abilities to win the game. Crypto Marble is similar to monopoly in that users buy land on the board by moving to the area cast from the dice on every turn.
The user will also build various structures (ex.garages, office buildings, etc.) on the purchased land and then acquire fees from other users when they stop on that space. You can monopolize your own buildings, collect tolls, take other people's stake in structures, collect money, and eventually win the game or go bankrupt.
The user will obtain various character cards through the random card generating box. With these character cards they can be used to grow and strengthen specific characters. In addition, there are dice and character-equipped items with their own special abilities, examples such as fee discounts salary increases, etc.
Crypto Marble is based on HTML5 and is ready to be released and debut in February. So you can access the homepage and play it anytime and anywhere, regardless of the device and OS.
The VX Network is currently running their IEO on Bitsonic, which will allow you to use your purchased VX coin in any game on the blockchain game platform provided by the VX Network as well as Crypto Marvel. By the first quarter of this year, games such as BitPet and the full 3D blockchain golf game BitGolf will be available on the VX platform.

Complete Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War, paperback deluxe JLA in new DC 2011 solicitations
26 comments | Tags: solicitations
When DC Comics announced an Absolute Identity Crisis collection last week, I couldn't help but ask, where's our Absolute Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War?
Well, we're not quite there yet, but I'm thrilled -- as DC's new collection solicitations start rolling out -- to see a single $30 paperback volume collecting the entire Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War saga.
That this book is paperback is a little offputting -- I, for one, am not about to ditch my hardcovers for a paperback -- but it's probably necessary for both size and cost reasons, and to market as an easy buy for Green Lantern movie fans. What pleases me about this is that it shows DC is getting the fans' message that we don't like these multi-volume, flip-around-to-read collections; here's everything all at once, hopefully with the Tales of the Sinestro Corps War interspersed.
And not that it's a big surprise, but the Green Lantern train has most definitely left the station: DC already has a late 2011 release date for collecting the Green Lantern: The Movie prequels.
Trend to watch: The paperback editions of the Gotham Central omnibus volumes seems not to have been a fluke; October sees a paperback of the first deluxe JLA volume, with the other three certainly to follow. Makes one wonder if the Starman omnibuses are coming in paperback, too.
Speaking of hardcovers, early reports show Superman/Batman: Sorcerer Kings in hardcover -- returning that series to hardcover after a paperback deviation for Superman/Batman: Big Noise. I'm going to be annoyed if it turns out some of this series is going back and forth between paperback and hardcover without the equal volumes of each; not so great for the shelves.
Quick shots: The Spy vs. Spy Omnibus seems long overdue; has Warner Brothers ever released a Spy vs. Spy collection before? Also, I'd be pleased if Showcase Presents All Star Comics collects the 1970s series that leads into the new Infinity Inc. collections.
It also looks like JSA All-Stars gets another collection despite the series's cancellation with The Puzzle Men; this gives we Doom Patrol and REBELS fans that we'll see final collections of those as well. Series-wise, there's also Titans: Family Reunion and Zatanna: Shades of the Past in the offing.
Still, the most exciting thing for me remains the complete Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War collection. It's no Legion Lost or Showcase Presents Trial of the Flash, but the season is still early ... stay tuned!

Jeffrey Hardy Quah 2/25/2011 08:35:00 AM
Still no sign of Batman Inc., curiously.
MPNeeb 2/25/2011 08:49:00 AM
Uh, yeah. After we've all bought the first TPB (Or HC releases) we get a $30 version.
DC got the message- after they got all our money. And it's a collection that's just in time for ComicCon 2012.
And the JLA releases would excite me IF, they included some of the fillers by Waid and Millar. The Gotham Central TPBs are welcome since they're putting in a bunch of issues that never made it to the first TPBs.
I'm glad to see more Showcases.
The Superman/Batman situation means little to me since DC had no idea what they're doing with the collections. Or the title for that matter. They've neglected a number of fine issues leaving the TPB line a hobbled thing.
collectededitions 2/25/2011 08:50:00 AM
I'm sure that one's on its way down the pike. And with the first three Morrison Batman & Robin collections in deluxe format, large size wouldn't surprise me either.
Robert Young 2/25/2011 08:57:00 AM
The next Green Lantern hardcover seems to be a step in the right direction. It features 10 issues for $22.99, and that's before the Amazon discount!
Brandan 2/25/2011 09:00:00 AM
I wouldn't get my hopes up for Starman being released in paperback. JLA sells a ton, and it's probably just special treatment because its assured that they'll get their money back with Deluxe paperback volumes which can't be said for Starman.
It seems that Tales of SC isn't collected in this TPB. Vol. 1 has 176 pg & vol. 2 has 192 pg, while new TPB 336 (32 pg less than vol. 1&2 together?).
I'm going to hold out hope that the page count fluctuates a little bit, either with the lack of introductory pages or something. For DC to release Sinestro Corps War in one volume, it would seem to me really, really silly not to finally integrate the Tales (Superboy-Prime, Cyborg, etc.). Indeed we'd have a conversation here about wasted opportunities.
I guess maybe JLA sells more than Starman just due to name recognition, though I thought the Starman books were really burning up the shelves. Is there a market, do you all think, for the Jack Kirby Omnibus editions in paper?
Marc 2/25/2011 11:16:00 AM
I know I would certainly buy the Jack Kirby Omnibuses in paperback. Probably the Starman ones too, if reasonably priced. As it is, I''m looking forward to the JLA TPBs...$19.99 seems a very fair price.
Two of the JLA paperbacks when they first came out would have been at least $24, if not more. I know we talk about trades getting more expensive, but there's obviously been some progress if you can get one big volume now for less than the price of two before.
Jeff R. 2/25/2011 03:49:00 PM
There have been a couple of Spy vs Spy collections before; one with all of the S.A. strips and another with a like amount of those of his successors.
All Star Comics is almost certainly the original, golden age JSA stories. The 70's/early 80's series was All Star Squadron.
Wasn't there a short-lived All-Star Comics in the 1970s beginning with the original numbering, that lead in to All-Star Squadron and Infinity Inc.? I'm leaning toward this being the Golden Age stories, too, but it would be nice if it had been a tie-in to the Infinity Inc. books.
The JSA All-Star (set in present-day) revival shifted over to Adventure Comics (which carried the Death of Batman). That was canceled soon after (switched to digest, then gone). Those were collected a couple of years ago in two volumes. All Star Squadron was independent (and several years after) of that and set in the 1940's. Infinity came out of the All Star Squadron's second year.
I'm confused. So should I stop collecting the thinner JLA paperbacks now? I guess I still have to look out for those volumes with Waid and Millar?
The JLA Deluxe volumes are a larger size and hardcover, but they don't include some good fill-in issues between Grant Morrison's issues, so you'd get a more complete story in the original JLA paperbacks. These new paperbacks presumably also just have the Morrison issues.
Evan Meadow 2/26/2011 01:44:00 PM
Yeah the All Star comics are run from the 70's are the ones written by Levitz with the JSA in a modern Earth-2 setting that ran from All-Star to Adventure Comics and included the debut of the Huntress, and Power Girl and the death of Batman of Earth-2
Though these have been put in trade already in 2 volumes of just titled Justice Society (in color no less) and I should know I've got them on my shelf now. So I'd be surprised to see them redone as a B&W Showcase collecting them.
shagamu 2/26/2011 05:29:00 PM
The first two JLA Deluxe Edition volumes are already sold out, and the paperback version of volume 1 will definitely be a better deal than buying the "New World Order" and "American Dreams" TPBs, none of which includes the lead story from JLA Secret Files #1.
And count me in as one of the people who would buy all Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus volumes in paperback. Now that volume 2 is sold out and selling for ridiculous prices on eBay, I really regret not buying it when it was still available on Amazon.
I'd love it if the single-volume edition of Sinestro Corps War included the "Tales of the Sinestro Corps" specials (or at least the Superman Prime one, which Johns wrote), but I don't think they would fit in 336 pages along with the main chapters.
Silly me; I completely forgot those 1970s All-Star Comics were collected in the Justice Society trades. And I even have those on the DC TPB Timeline (soon to be updated!).
The first JLA Deluxe hardcover is already out of print? They come and go so fast, don't they?
astro city : life in the big city is also getting a hardcover treatment!!!
http://www.amazon.com/Astro-City-Life-Big-New/dp/1401232612/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1298831419&sr=8-3
You know, I know Astro City is really popular, but I have no frame of reference for it whatsoever. Pitch it to me, would you?
okay. Imagine a young Kurt Busiek who wasn't allowed to write for DC. So instead of writing superman and batman, he created a whole universe populated by heroes who are very similar to the dc heroes.
However Busiek put his own spin to all of these characters making them truly unique and exciting. In addition he truly builds living and unique worlds and often tells stories involving normal citizens and explores their point of view considering the actions of the super heroes.
I have read Busiek's dc work and it doesn't compare to his Astro City work. He simply brings his A-game to astro city.
Sorry for the long answer, but I just love Astro City. I have tried to describe it without spoiling anything.
I highly recommend picking Astro City: life in the big city. You won't regret it.
In addition I would love to see a review of the series by you ;-)
oh I forgot to mention the following:
if you have read Superman: Secret Identity and liked it then you'll also like Astro City. Both are written by Busiek and have very similar sensibilities.
João Carvalho 2/28/2011 06:04:00 AM
That they are releasing The Sinestro corps War in one volume it`s a positive move, but I would`ve expected a Absolute edition. I already have the TPB, so to buy this it would have to in an HC format. But in Spain they are going to release it in HC format later in the Year, so I guess I`ll be getting that one ;)
The whole thing collected in hardcover in Spain? Does it include the Tales of the Sinestro Corps, and if so, where are they placed (at the end, or in their proper place in the story)?
Xavico 3/22/2011 10:19:00 PM
Tales of SC will definably not be included on this edition. Just do the math:
SCW Vol. 1 = 176 pages
Now, by my count that adds 368 pages, however this edition is published to have only 336 pages.
Where ar the other 32 pages???.
Seems like this will only be the story and that´s it. No introduction, no existing extras, no nothing. Just the story.
Xavico 3/23/2011 08:44:00 AM
Just a question... the Gotham Central books were supposed to be omnibuses??.
I'm really confused about what is and what is not an omnibus nowadays.
Second... If the JLA books are going to be paperback now... shouldn't that take the "Deluxe" out of the name of the edition?.
Let's not forget the Sinestro Corps War Vol. 2 book had an interview with the creative team at the end; they might cut that for the paperback.
The Gotham Central hardcovers are "omnibuses" in the sense that, like the Starman omnibuses, they collect issues previously collected in paperback, but with additional materials and omitted issues. So we consider the Gotham Central books (and also the Justice League International books, frankly) de facto omnibuses.
Whether the JLA paperbacks will still be oversized remains to be seen; indeed they probably shouldn't call them "deluxe" at that point. DC does need to define the terms more formally -- JLA was in essence an "omnibus," even though oversized, while Batman RIP for instance is "deluxe" only.

Beaver Island (Englisch für Biber-Insel, Spanisch: Isla San Rafael) ist eine der Falklandinseln und liegt westlich von Weddell Island und südlich von New Island.

Geschichte und Einwohner
Am Fish Creek im Südosten der Insel liegt Beaver Settlement, das über eine private Landebahn verfügt. Beaver Island wurde nach dem Walfangschiff "Beaver" benannt, das angeblich als erster Walfänger Kap Hoorn umsegelte. Im Oktober 2006 wurde in der Nähe der Insel das Wrack einer vermissten französischen Yacht entdeckt.

Fauna
Auf der Insel leben Eselspinguine, Argentinische Kampfüchse (eingeführt, nicht mit dem Falklandfuchs zu verwechseln), Wanderfalken, Schopfkarakara, Falklandkarakara, Guanakos, Ohrenrobben und Seevögel. Vor der Küste finden sich Tangwälder.

Forestry company ordered to pay $100,000 to pair for terrifying ordeal

By Sarah Curtis of the Gisborne Herald
A forest company must pay a Tolaga Bay couple $50,000 each after a terrifying night they spent marooned on their roof amid rising floodwaters laden with forestry debris.
Aratu Forestry Limited, previously Hikurangi Forest Farms Limited, was yesterday fined a total of $379,500 on two charges brought by Gisborne District Council under the Resource Management Act of discharging contaminants — forestry waste and silt — to land in circumstances that enabled it to enter water.
• Tolaga Bay $10m flood cleanup begins
• Tolaga Bay family extremely grateful to be alive after losing everything to flooding
• Family who survived Tolaga Bay floods by climbing onto roof speak about ordeal
• Family of three rescued off roof after severe flooding in Tolaga Bay
The offence is punishable by a fine of up to $600,000.
The company was also ordered to pay three victims a total of $125,000 reparation for emotional harm.
Ten forestry companies were charged with similar RMA offences, which came to light in two extreme weather events that hit the region but impacted on different places on June 3 and 4 and June 11 and 12, 2018.
One of the charges against Aratu related to its Te Marunga forest, about 12km west of Tolaga Bay, which was affected by the earlier event when 47,000 cubic metres of forest waste ended up on the beach at Tolaga Bay and another 400,000 cubic metres was lodged elsewhere around the catchment, damaging properties, and blocking waterways, roads, and bridges.

The other charge related to Aratu's Wakaroa Forest, in Waimata, which was mostly impacted by the second event.
Slash and sediment debris mobilised from Wakaroa and other forests inundating Uttings Bridge on Waimata Road, which had to be closed, and led to significant repair costs and inconvenience for residents to the north of the bridge.

Environment Court Judge Brian Dwyer sentenced Aratu in Gisborne yesterday, fining the company $229,500 for its breaches at Te Marunga forest and $150,000 for those at Wakaroa forest.
Gisborne District Council will receive all but 10 per cent of the fine.
Judge Dwyer also ordered the emotional harm reparation for the three victims — residents on a shared family farm in Mangatokerau Valley one of the worst-hit areas of Tolaga Bay.
Paul Te Kira and his partner Nina Maraki, will each get $50,000.
They were forced to clamber on to their roof with their four-year-old granddaughter at about 3.30am when floodwaters entered their house and rose to within 30cm of the ceiling.
They had to wait exposed to the weather until a helicopter could rescue them at first light. Huge logs in a raft of forestry debris inundating the Mangatokerau River battered their home beneath them.
Maraki said in court they were lucky to get out alive — it was a miracle the house remained anchored to its foundations, unlike the property's four other buildings.
She was nearly swept away but her husband pulled her to safety on the roof through an access hole he made in a clearlite porch cover.

He used the section of plastic he removed as a makeshift weather shield. They grabbed their granddaughter's wetsuit as it floated past. They could not keep her dry but at least they could keep her warm, Maraki said.
The family lost everything — their home, all their possessions, livestock, all their farm equipment and infrastructure.
Others in the district also suffered property damage but at least still had their homes, Maraki said.
A whangai sister Amber Grace who also lost her home at the property that night but who was fortunately away, will receive $25,000.
Te Kira and Maraki have since moved into temporary accommodation on a hill among a stand of Ngati Porou forestry overlooking their former valley home. It will be eight to 10 years before they can build and move into a new home on the plateau above, they said.
Grace said she relocated to Gisborne but felt disoriented and missed the place where she thought she would live out her life.
Te Kira said while the farm was on a known flood plain, it had never before been affected this way.
Specialist reports before the court confirmed this flood event was due to a wall of wood that clogged and damned the Mangatokerau River.
Judge Dwyer said the company was part of a wealthy international conglomerate with huge forestry holdings in this district (35,000 hectares) and in other parts of New Zealand. It could afford a reparation order of substance for these victims who suffered immense loss and a terrifying, life-threatening ordeal.
The family's financial loss was not a focus of this hearing. Judge Dwyer said it was a complex issue that needed to be determined through civil action.
In relation to the RMA offences, the judge said he noted reports identified the majority of forest debris arising from erosion of recently-harvested areas rather than compliance issues.
It was not for this court to question the past decision allowing production forestry to be established in such environmentally vulnerable areas or the more recent decision to allow it to be harvested, but apparent to the court was the need for great care in harvesting and compliance with codes of practice and resource consents.

None of the consents issued to Aratu (between 2008 and 2016) allowed discharge of forest debris to water. Its failures to observe the Forest Owners Code of Practice and the general failure to properly manage harvesting and earthworks on undoubtedly vulnerable areas (much of it the region's most erosion prone) were "reckless".
In setting sentence starting points for each charge, the judge took into account the maximum penalty, the vulnerability of the affected environment and extent of damage, the breaches of resource consent, the business activity aspect, need for deterrence, culpability, Aratu's remedial efforts and other factors, past good character and comparable cases.
The company's culpability was high, he said. A large scale forestry company should be aware of standards it was required to meet.
The devastation caused by failings at Te Marunga in particular was huge compared to other forest failings around the region. At Te Marunga 83 skid sites collapsed, compared to the 11 in Waituna Forest, to the south of Gisborne, for which Juken NZ Limited was fined $152,000 by him last November, the judge noted.
Steep slopes clear-felled all at once were primed to fail. The company must have known the risk and the likelihood of extreme weather. It took that risk regardless "almost hoping it wouldn't rain", the judge said.
With forestry here still to harvest, the company needed to be deterred from repeat offending. The fine needed to have some bite, not just be a cost of doing business.
The fine also needed to deter other forest companies, all of which needed to develop a mosaic approach to harvesting, despite economic challenges that might bring, Judge Dwyer said.
The sentence starting point for Wakaroa Forest was $200,000 with the only possible discount one for the company's early guilty pleas (25 per cent). Nothing the company had done there since the event was over and above what was required by council abatement notices or what it should have done all along.
The sentence starting point for Te Marunga was $360,000.
It was reduced by 15 percent for the company's demonstrated remorse and remedial work beyond that required by abatement notices.
Defence counsel Alistair Darroch submitted the company formally apologised to affected families, made koha payments to them, and had begun tidy up work at their properties. Some were visited by management including the then director from Malaysia.
Aratu met half the costs of cleaning up Tolaga Bay Beach despite waste there being more attributable to other companies.
The guilty plea discount also applied.
There were no discounts for other factors.
Prosecutor Adam Hopkinson submitted Aratu could not get discount for past good character — it was previously warned by council officials about its non-compliance. - Gisborne Herald
