What’s TIC All About?

It’s an online magazine
You might call TIC InheritanceMagazine.com to get the idea. Pick any popular and technical magazine you please: TIC will feel familiar and appeal to the right readerships in the right way.

It’s an online newspaper
TIC’s own stories; stories from TIC communities; and stories we will pick up from other media. Plus automatic market-specific news feeds. TIC will feel as familiar as your favorite online news sites.

It’s family fun
Everyone in the family will be thrilled at TIC’s breadth and depth of coverage: from ‘What are you leaving me in your will, Pops?’, to ‘Why do I have this nasty genetic condition, Mom?’ to ‘Who is Great-Uncle Melvin, Sis?’, and so on!

It’s a boon for businesses
Each of TIC’s five mega-subjects has a substantial business constituency. Business consumers can interact with lay consumers and with each other locally and globally.

It’s perfect for professionals
Each of TIC’s five mega-subjects has its own community of professionals: lawyers, accountants, bankers, asset managers, financial planners, tax consultants; scientists and healthcare practitioners; archivists, ancestry researchers, etc.

It’s a huge community
Your guess is a good as ours about how big TIC could get. Just wait til we get going, especially with our global
network and TIC national and international annual physical events including major conventions.About which subjects?

It’s about wills and estates
TIC will cover mental capacity, financial planning, estate planning, trusts, wills, codicils, letters of wishes, intestacy, family settlements, compulsory bequests, elder abuse, insolvent estates, probate, executors and administrators, inheritance-related disputes, philanthropy, tax, accounting etc: we know this subject!

It’s about genetics
TIC will cover biological heredity, cell and gene anatomy and physiology, mutations, genetic diseases, the latest research and clinical practice, forensic genetics, epigenetics, neurogenetics, animal genetics, plant genetis, fungal genetics, genetics and health insurance, among others.

It’s about genealogy
Tracing family and friends; researching ancestral activities, businesses, behavior; amateur and professional genealogy, archives, networks and other resources, DNA testing, emotional and social dynamics, separation, migration, displacement, reunification — fascinating!

It’s about global culture
TIC will cover literature, music, arts, crafts, dress, diet, behavior, philosophies, occupations, vocations, traditions, beliefs, usages… all from the point of view of inheritance and heritage. Where on earth does one begin? TIC will take a particular interest in endangered and disappearing cultures worldwide.

It’s about our planet
In twenty years from now, there will be precious little left of our planet as we now know it. What will we bequeath and what will future generations inherit? How soon before the Amazon rainforest is levelled and turned into a shopping warehouse? Extinctions, destruction, enviromental toxins… TIC will be all over the subject.

It’s about life and death
… and everything in between. You can’t escape inheritance of one kind or another. That makes the subject of relevance, interest and concern to practically everyone on the planet, in relation to themselves, each other and to future generations. TIC understands these fundamentals holistically.

Is TIC viable?

We have the content
TIC’s range of subjects — wills, estates, genetics, genealogy, culture, planet — opens all doors in all markets to an infinite range of human interest and technical interest stories.

We have the markets
Local, municipal, regional, national, international — in every country on the planet, per subject and per community. TIC communities include lay consumers, business consumers and professional consumers worldwide.

We have the angles
Celebrities – regular folk – latest developments — popular interest — technical interest. TIC specials include
, our own social media community; TIC community engagement (conservation projects etc), and TIC live events worldwide.
We have the platforms
TIC will offer no fewer than nine exciting multimedia platforms: website, podcasts, webinars, newsletter, investigative reports, videos (shorts and documentaries), virtual and physical events,
, and our very own engagement projects.
We have the sources
Everyone has an inheritance story of one kind or another. TIC will be perfectly placed to source from regular folk, specialists, business people, professionals, etc. worldwide.

We have the vision
Visualise a huge annual national convention packed with thousands of testators, heirs, executors, administrators, lawyers, bankers, asset managers, philanthropy seekers (museums, universities, galleries, charities) — all talking to each other about wills and estates, and money! And on similar lines, conventions dealing with genetics, global cultures, the decimation and destruction of our planet etc. Stimulating!
