Ask a Lawyer - Taxation Law questions answered by leading lawyers |
| Should I Hire A Lawyer When Dealing With A Property Transfer? |
| I would like to quitclaim my property to my mother who is my only living relative. I want this to be filed at my death but signed and notarized before so. Can I gift it to her? If so, does she have to pay taxes? Should I will it to her instead? Can I protect her without the expense of a living trust? |
| Can Failure To Pay Taxes Affect Various Rights? |
| Can a county government constitutionally keep a resident from buying a county automobile sticker if his personal property taxes have not been paid?
In other words, is it legal to disallow the payment of one form of tax because another form of tax has not been paid? |
| Should You Always File A Tax Return? |
| If you pay your taxes (federal)through standard payroll deductions, are you breaking the law by not filing a federal tax return?
|
| What Should I Do If I Have Not Filed A State Or Federal Tax Return In 15 Years? |
| I have not filed federal or state taxes in 15 years. How can I file now in order to get up to date? |
| Are Funds Placed In A UTMA Accessible? |
| I have three UTMA accounts (three children) that I opened 5 years ago. My original intention was to use them for my children's education. I invested one lump sum and it grew over many years. However, the money has grown beyond my wildest expectations and my 5 year old will now end up with more money than I ever intended. I would like to take some out (not all) and put it into another fund for myself. I need to know what the legal ramifications of doing so would be? Would a lawyer be able to help me? Will a notarized document help in stating my intentions when removing the money? I am still looking out for my children's best interest. |
