It will save your heirs some money if you do so. If there is no beneficiary, all of the assets in the IRA will be subject to the audit fees from the Clerk's Office.

The former owner is deceased, so he cannot convey. Hire a competent attorney to search the title, determine heirship, and draft an Affidavit of Heirship to be recorded. That Affidavit becomes your recorded source of title. The taxes sound serious. Taxes are a lien against the land, and might... View More
I am receiving Social Security retirement benefits. I have a rental property that nets about $4000.00 per year. If I put this property into an LLC (North Carolina), will I have to pay FICA? Will it affect the benefit I currently receive?

Once you reach full retirement age, there is no limit on how much you can earn and still receive your Social Security retirement benefits without any reduction.

If you are unsatisfied with how the administrator is handling the estate, you need to speak to the clerk's office. The clerk's office would probably like to close this estate and will be willing to lean on the administrator some to assist you.

No. Listening and following conspiracy theories will not help you avoid criminal charges.
1) Will there be tax liability if I gift the house to GF? Tax liability for either GF or me?
2) Is it possible to gift part of the house annually? For example 10% first year, 20% second year and so on and 5 years later, she owns the complete house?
answered on Oct 17, 2020
At the present time the gift tax exemption is more than $11 million per person. You could gift your entire share to her all at once and not incur any gift tax as long as that gift plus prior gifts made by you in the past do not exceed $11 million in the aggregate.

Speak to the county and see if they are willing to set up a payment plan. If foreclosure proceedings have begun, it is likely too late for you to do anything.
Bf and I bought place together. Then he may someone else, and left me to pay for the mortgage on the property, and the property taxes. I paid the home off alone and now he claims he owns this house
answered on Oct 5, 2020
Because you and your BF are on the deed, you both own the house. This means that both you and him have the right to use the property, and it can only be sold with both of your signatures.
Your best option to recover your BF's portion of the mortgage is to refuse to sell unless he... View More

The property wasnt left to one person so there is no clear way to use the property. I have been the onlyh person to pay taxes on this property for 15 years and i would like to put it in my name so i can live on it. What do i do?
answered on Sep 14, 2020
Cannot understand your facts stated. But hire a competent attorney to draft an Affidavit of Heirship, which will record a source of title. Then you need a Quit Claim Deed from the other heirs over to you. If they will not convey, you may have to file a Partition Suit.
My husband died in June and taxes came out in August.

If you are the remainderman, then you are the sole titled owner. It would then be your responsibility to pay taxes, but the property stands for the county taxes and is not the owner's personal obligation. It is in rem, so if taxes are not paid the County sells the property and does not sue you.

Whoever pays more than one half of the support may claim a child as a dependent.
Whoever proves that he/she provided more than 1/2 of the support of the child.
It's a matter of proof, by documents.
What can we do
answered on Feb 23, 2020
NO WILL, then typically all assets go to the children in equal shares.
All liabilities, including taxes must be paid FIRST. Then, the remaining assets go to the children. If there are any predeceased children, then typically their heirs at law take their shares. Every state is not exactly... View More
