Jimmy Buffett’s widow accuses financial adviser of breaching fiduciary duty in $275M trust battle

July 21, 2025

Jimmy Buffett’s widow, Jane Buffett, has asked a Florida judge to remove her late husband’s financial adviser, Richard Mozenter, as cotrustee of his $275 million estate. On Monday, she accused Mozenter of breaching fiduciary duties, withholding information about the trust and charging unreasonable fees. Jimmy Buffett, known for his “Margaritaville” empire, passed away on Sept. 1, 2023, at 76. Legal battles between Jane Buffett and Mozenter have unfolded in both California and Florida, with each accusing the other of mishandling funds. Jane Buffett’s filing claims their working relationship is “untenable” and seeks Mozenter’s removal from overseeing the trust.

A Florida county leads the way with a high-tech 911 system that improves emergency response

July 14, 2025

Collier County, Florida, uses one of the most advanced 911 systems in the U.S., allowing callers to send texts and videos. County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk has prioritized upgrading to a Next Generation 911 system to improve emergency response. So-called NG911 systems use modern technology like geotracking, reducing response times and enhancing safety. However, many U.S. regions still rely on outdated systems. Collier County has also partnered with other areas, like Charleston, South Carolina, to handle calls during emergencies. Experts stress the need for federal funding to help more communities upgrade to NG911, ensuring better disaster response and everyday safety nationwide.

June 27, 2025

Child safety advocates are warning about the dangers of heatstroke from leaving kids in hot cars. Experts say vehicle temperatures can rise 20 degrees in just 10 minutes, even on mild days, putting children at serious risk. This year, nine children have died in hot cars across several U.S. states, including five in June. Since 1998, nearly every state has reported such tragedies. Experts emphasize that anyone can forget a child due to distractions. They recommend reminders, like leaving a personal item in the backseat. Authorities urge to call 911 right away if a child is spotted alone in a car.
