That's not what the sentence is getting at. With a will or a revocable living trust (which is by far the most common trust used in estate planning), only the circumstances at death are going to matter. Hence it's the basis at the time of death that matters, not what the beneficiaries will do...
In plain English, that sentence is saying that the trustee may, when distributing trust assets, ignore what the beneficiary will have left should the beneficiary sell the property. Basis is the term in federal tax law that tracks the owner's cost in the asset. The basic formula for determining...
I haven't read your contract with the auction company and the terms of that contract are important to what remedies you have and whether it's worth it to pursue the remedies, if any, that you have.
You made a request for a chargeback from the credit card company. The credit company agreed with...
I'm having trouble imagining what you mean by the government stealing the person as a child or how the government would pose as someone's family. The basic details of what happened are needed to know what kind of legal issue this would be. It also matter in what state this occurred, how long ago...
No doubt some do. But not all of them, and perhaps not even a majority.
The bar association in my state has drafted up a lot of template forms, which are not accessible by the public and aren't cheap for lawyers to buy (they come in sets for various areas of law, each known in short by the...
We don't even know if that was the contract used in the sale. The model contract by the CT bar association is provided a resource that the public may be use but it is not mandated by CT state law. The CT bar association is not a state agency and has no authority to mandate anything (other than...
That may well be the rule the bank has. Whether the bank must, or is even permitted, to give you that information depends on the details of the account Your brother's estate arises on the date of his death and the probate assets that he had on that date are what the estate personal...
It's legal because there is no law that makes it illegal. The real question is what effect does that have on the contract? What the buyer is asking for would not meet the requirement of an enforceable contract or contract addendum because the buyer isn't offering anything in exchange for the...
Perhaps you are being treated poorly, either intentionally or simply because they are are trying to do the best they can do to keep production up with all the short staffing. However being treated poorly or not getting the overtime others are getting is not by itself illegal. The big question is...
As I recall there are a couple of states that limit the right of a landlord to have rules that have the effect of preventing close relatives living with the tenant, particularly in cases where the relative is also the primary caretaker for the tenant. Unfortunately for you, it doesn't appear...
What you described is not an acquittal. If the jury had returned a not guilty verdict you'd have been free to go without any post trial conditions like reporting to a probation officer. Instead, it sounds like you were convicted but if you comply with the provisions of the probation you'll have...
If you already have a lawyer, then ask the lawyer that question. You've not given us much information to go on to tell you whether it's a possibility. What is the court date for — is a trial, motion hearing, or something else? Is it a civil or criminal case? And, in general terms, what is the...
It can make perfect sense when you see it through the eyes of the person/enity doing the garishment. The problem I see is that a change in the court order for support between the parents is not binding on the person/entity that is doing the garnishment. The garnishment order it received earlier...
