If it is a debt will I become required to pay his debt if I am heir? If not a debt & income how can this effect my tax liability?
answered on Aug 9, 2022
I suggest you setup a consultation with a lawyer. You have more than a simple question here and a lot will depend on who you are in the will. For example are you executor or just a beneficiary. As for tax liability that should be asked to a CPA

It depends whether or not a Municipal Tax Search was ordered and received and the information contained. Speak to the title company you used to check title before actually purchasing the lien and the insured the transaction.

Jail time certainly looks like it is almost certain for the above offender as this person has multiple charges that could lead to that. That being said everything depends on the facts of the case and how good of a lawyer the defendant hires and lastly never under estimate luck.

There are far too many variables and unknown facts to provide you with a meaningful answer. You best way of proceeding is speaking with an experienced business and/or probate attorney. With the current economic environment, the IRS is not an agency you want to take any chances with. Good luck.

No matter where the payment is received, it needs to be reported on your Federal Income Tax return. The implications for State or Commonwealth tax reporting is best answered by an accountant.

The lein stays attached to the property and continues to gather interest. If a foreclosure has been initiated, that will be stayed pending the bankruptcy. If chapter 13 is filed, then the lien can be paid off in the chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Hello,
Your situation is not uncommon.
You said you filed your taxes, so I'm assuming you mailed your tax return because if you e-filed it'd have been rejected.
If your paper return was rejected and returned to you or if you received a rejection notice, re-file... View More
Hi,
I did my tax a month ago and filed by mail.
I am not sure if my taxes has been accepted.
I have my I140 and I need to submit it for immigration case.
My question is it okay to send my tax return as it is even though there is a chance it gets rejected or should I wait?
answered on May 18, 2020
From a tax perspective the return has been filed when it's placed in the mail. If something happens in the future with the IRS that will be an adjustment of that return. There's nothing that can unfile it.
I would also check with an immigration attorney to make sure the... View More

The fee should not be taken until the estate is settled. The house sounds like it is going to need to be sold to make the estate whole. The estate tax is based on who takes what and the relationship to the deceased. You are better off talking to a probate attorney to get direct answers to your... View More

You should contact a bankruptcy lawyer to see what options you have available. You should definitely file a police report if someone stole your identity and took loans out fraudulently

You need an attorney who is a Probate attorney. The right documents are obtained by an attorney and the stock is liquidated by a stock broker. That is all you require. A fair amount of work may be required depending on what you have already done with the Surrogate.
