    Replacing the Estate's Attorney

    Yup, it's going on three years now. We have settled with the NASD claim with brokerage through Mediation. We have a restitution agreement with the broker that we need to firm up a bit. The County Attorney has scheduled a probation review hearing for next Thursday to try to do that. If...

    Are Legal Settlements & Restitution Taxable Income?

    I see this another of those topics that has attracted a lot of interest I like closure. The accountant for the estate has ruled that the money that has been recoved from the broker and the brokerage represents return of principle, not taxable income. That's goo news.

    Neighborhood/Community Dock Associations

    Like I said, it is just in the talking stage. When I see it, if I remember, I will come back here. Going by others in the area, it would be stuff like being able to determine who we can sell our slip to, by having sales approved by a vote of all the slipowners. There is a desire to keep...

    Lawsuits Against Forum Administrators

    Here's an example of a "private" conversation between staff members of the forum, talking about one of the users they target. This is cleaned up a bit to protect identities: ( Moderator), MY HERO!!!! I love it. Like it's so difficult to comprehend that it's verboten to post...

    Lawsuits Against Forum Administrators

    I am on several forums and only have a problem with one. Many others have similar problems. Most of the users pay a membership fee, as do I. Recently I have been suspended, not for violating any stated rules, but because a recently appointed volunteer administrator does not like me. I have...

    Lawsuits Against Forum Administrators

    First, this has nothing to do with this forum. It seems that some forums allow administrators a lot of power over participants. Some administrators on some sites insist that folks post exactly the way they see fit and are very restrictive and selective, going way beyond the rules of the...

    Are Legal Settlements & Restitution Taxable Income?

    Thanks. That's what I have been reading also, but was hoping it wasn't true. Would settlement amounts paid to replace lost or stolen money also be taxable? Could you "carry forward" the amount of loss during my father's last couple of years to offset the restitution and settlement paid...

    Are Legal Settlements & Restitution Taxable Income?

    Hi, I haven't been here for awhile. My Dad's broker stole money from him. My dad has passed away. His Estate is receiving restitution from the broker. The Estate also just received a settlement from the brokerage. The settlement was reached through Mediation, to discharge an NASD claim...

    Neighborhood/Community Dock Associations

    Actually, this is about community docks, but I chose the subject because other types of Associations may be relevant. We own a slip in a Community Dock on Table Rock Lake. It has never had bylaws or been an association officially. There is talk of doing that. We are not favored by those...

    Private Road Liability

    Well, I almost made it. I have paid the contractor who prepared our new road base and we are just waiting for the County to pave it. But, three of my neighbors have turned against me. It is the three old farts who were in charge of the road before me, who worked for 15 years and never got...

    Surviving the Settlement of An Estate

    Thanks. What is the controlling date, if nothing is stated in a Will, that heirs need to survive the decedent by, to qualify for a Distribution, in Iowa, of course? DOD?

    Surviving the Settlement of An Estate

    In Iowa, what happens if an heir does not survive the settlement of an estate, or part of an estate? I plan to, but . . . My Dad's estate includes a 17-year restitution agreement from his financial broker, who stole money. But generally, I would like to know, if an heir, living at the...

    Private Road Liability

    Speaking of which, here I am again. Our new road base is about finished. Hopefully the county will get in paved before winter. I did get the $60,000 raised from my neighbors. Some things do work out. Now we have to rebuild our community dock!!!

    Community Driveway obligations

    I have a similar question here for our country subdivision road, which I am in the process of getting turned over to the County. If I can find that thread I will link it, but I'm not at home. The answer I got from this forum and three attornies is that, yes, you, the owners, jointly and...

    Private Road Liability

    The one owner we need a Right of Way from has agreed to give it. She does not live here, so that was nice. Three contractors have been to look at the road, with the Road Supervisor, so bids will be coming shortly.

    Isn't that the truth!? I'm on other forums, too, and just hate it when you never hear back from the thread-starter!

    Private Road Liability

    Update. Last Thursday all 3 of our Commissioners (that is unusual in itself) came to see us. In a nutshell, they said Yes. Tomorrow we get read into the Road and Bridge minutes. They are allowing us to turn our road over with the least possible hassle on our part. They could have...
