As I am not a lawyer, or a legal or tax professional, this answer must be considered subject to error until it is corrected/improved by a professional. To my understanding, IRS regulations require that anytime you sell anything, it should be reported as income [but not as "earned income"] on your tax return. Whether you have to pay any tax on it depends on several factors on which I am unable to discuss intelligently. I suggest that you discuss this with an income tax preparer, or call the IRS for an explanation of how it is handled.
It depends on how the property is deeded.
Yes, they can place a lien. The property still has value and the life estate doesn't effect that.
Depreciation can reduce the assessed value of personal property and thereby reduce the personal property tax, if the tax rate stays the same. Most states have a minimum rate in their depreciation tables where the depreciated value of the personal property will remain as long as you still own the property. Ask your local personal property assessor about depreciation tables as they also vary by type of personal property.
This depends what other assets you may have.Added: You say that you bought him out of the mortgage - but you don't mention anything about how the property is TITLED or DEEDED. If you die while he is still married to you and is still on the title and/or deed, he may be entitled to the property depending on how it is titled in your state.
An eviction is the expulsion of a tenant by the landlord or the owner of the property. If you are the owner of the property no one else has the legal capacity to evict you from your property.However, if you're referring to a foreclosure proceeding, the bank can take possession of your property if you're in default of the mortgage.
If there are any assets and debts, the estate will be probated. The assets do not have to include real property. If the individual deeded the property to another prior to his passing, the property belongs to the deed hold.
This suggests that the father has some income from that property and therefore some ability to support the child[ren].
No. My husband owned a house in North Carolina before we got married, he refinanced it after we got married the deed is in my name but the loan is not. Do I still have a legal right to the house when we divorce? Once the property is deeded in your name it is considered a gift to the marriage and you now have legal rights.
Generally, a trust is a legal relationship that is set up whereby one person holds the legal title to the property, the trustee, and another has the benefit of the use, enjoyment and income from the property, the beneficiary. Trust law is extremely complex. Very briefly stated, the person who sets up the trust and conveys or transfers their property to the trustee is called the trustor. Once set up properly the trust allows the grantor to remove her property from her own estate, thereby protecting it from creditors and heirs, and still enjoy the use of and income derived from it. The trust property is any personal or real property transferred to the trust such as real estate, stocks, bank accounts, etc. That property is "held in trust" by the trustee.
Not temporary at all. Canada still has the business tax and the personal income tax,
In many, if not most areas, you don't. Generally, personal property taxes are not that major a part of a States revenue policy. Someplaces they are though...like in Connecticut..personal property tax is State law but really the method that was used for Towns/Cities to raise funds....cars, boats, even the trailer for the boat (heck even the winch on the trailer), were all taxable and paid to the town. However, until recently, CT had no State income tax, and even now, it is a rather restricted one. Most "normal" household type property is exempt and on the other ahnd, virtually all Business personal property is taxable...so it still acts to shift tax obligation to business in an area and to individuals that may have lost of expensive toys. Fact is, if they didn't have you pay this tax, then you would pay more of another - Real Estate, sales, income, taxes, etc.
Washington State does not have a personal income tax, so you will not pay any state income tax. You will still pay Federal income tax on lottery winnings, though.
