A couple of important things to note. Those liens will follow his assets and if the taxes are not paid by the estate, the beneficiaries will have to pay the taxes to avoid possible seizure by the IRS to collect the tax. The tax liens also have a higher priority than any later secured debt or...

No, I did not read that. But I also did not read the exact details of what the estate actually did because you haven't provided all that, and those details are important. That is why I put the word IF right before what you quoted, and evidently you missed that word...perhaps reading what you...

Very true. But the debtor has to have something worthwhile to offer the credit card company. If the debtor can't afford to pay anything — if all his/her money is needed to buy food and keep a roof over his/her head — there won't be anything to offer to settle. In that regard, the apparent...

I didn't say you didn't see what you saw. I'm saying that your interpretation of how it occurred and who did it might not be right. In other words, your assumptions about what is behind what you saw may be wrong. People make wrong assumptions all the time. Unfortunately, sometimes that leads...

If the federal government gets a wiretap authorization (warrant) for you cell phone to monitor your calls, texts, and e-mails you won't know about it by looking at activity on your phone. The wiretap orders go to your cell phone provider which then is obligated to provide them with the...

If you can't pay the debt then there really isn't any reason to contact the lender's attorney. What the attorney will want to hear is a proposal to pay what the creditor says is owed. If you can't do that, the attorney will just shrug and say "see you in court" or ask you to sign a confession of...

As I explained on the other forum where you asked this, if the probate estate sold the asset and in the same tax year transferred the sale proceeds to the trust, the capital gain flows through the estate to the trust, and the trust then includes the capital gain and pays the tax on it unless it...

A person may draft their own trust instrument, but unless the person knows the state trust laws and the related federal and state tax laws, that person is likely to make mistakes that either will end up not achieving what he/she wants or that ends up costing them, their trust, and/or their...

You are correct that the procedures in state law for suing the government must be followed when filing a lawsuit, including the rules for suing the government. However, a tort claims act, like Federal Tort Claims Act, only deals with tort claims, e.g. personal injury, negligence, malpractice...

The government cannot punish the OP for the statement made. But there isn't anything in the Constitution that prohibits the federal government keeping a closer watch on people who may be dangerous to public officials. That's nothing new and doesn't have anything to do with your contention that...

I don't see any legal problems coming from this. You did not make any direct threats of violence against the congressperson. You simply expressed what you you hope he gets in the afterlife. That's not illegal and within your free speech rights. However, IMO your anger was misplaced. Neither the...

The first question I have is has the city denied you anything, like a building permit? Or is your issue that you object to someone else using their property in a way you contend is a rental? If it's the latter, then I think you'll find that you'll lack standing to sue as the city has not done...

That's how it's done in at least most states when adding someone other than a spouse to the deed. It should be done by an attorney as drafting the deed for others is the practice of law, which means only a lawyer is permitted to do it. A title company may have a lawyer, however, that can do...

I assume the trust is getting the appreciated asset, not the funds from the sale of it. The gain on the asset is only taxable income in the tax year in which it is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of. If the trust sells the asset, it will have to report the gain on the trust income tax...

But that section D shows the address of the shared residence. That too should be redacted.

That depends on the terms of the contract and which state's law applies to the sale. The common law rule is, as zddoodah noted, that sales are final and there is no right for to a refund. Where the common law applies, the burden is on the buyer to check out the goods throughly before purchase...

IRS revenue officers are the ones who do the seizures of assets to collect delinquent taxes. (Revenue agents are the auditors that go out to businesses to examine the books and records.) I started my tax career as a revenue officer. What I'd have done in the situation of seizing the assets of an...

You've not given any details of what occurred. Things like where you were standing, what the cops were doing, what others around you were doing, etc matter. You need to make sure when recording events like the actions of police, firefighters, EMTs, etc that you are well away from the immediate...

Arizona has a disorderly conduct statute that penalizes what are generally known as "fighting words", which are words likely to provoke an act of retaliation, e.g. start a physical fight. The Supreme Court has held that the state may enforce such a statute, if the words were likely to cause an...

(bolding added). The case I cited had nothing to with the part I highlighted because it wasn't a case dealing with rights between the states. I agree that PA almost certainly violates the Constitution in trying to stop the food that is just transiting through PA and none that food going through...
