It depends on several factors that include when the accounts were opened and the community property laws in the state of residence. You should discuss the issue with an attorney.

Do community colleges pay property taxes?

Typically community colleges do not pay property taxes because they are considered a political subdivision of the state under tax law provisions. Property tax laws vary by state within the United States so you are encouraged to check with your local property assessor.


If a spouse's parent dies and leaves inheritance does this become community property with your spouse?

Not immediately. When you inherit something it is separate property because it was specifically designated to go to you. If you put these funds in a joint account or share them with your spouse then it would likely be deemed as transforming to community property.


If taxes have not been paid on property in Florida and your name is on the deed but not the mortgage loan or taxes can your bank accounts and other assets be ceased?

Probably not, because the municipality will merely seize the property and sell it for the taxes owed, regardless of whose name is on the deed. Any remaining proceeds go to other taxes, secured lenders, lien-holders, and then the owners of record (if anything is left).

Bank accounts are considered to be personal property and personal property is an asset of the estate. Creditors that file a claim against the estate are entitled to be paid from the assets of the decedent before any assets can be distributed to the heirs. They must be paid from any funds in a bank account owned by the decedent.

Can a spouse in Texas have his or hers wages garnished by the IRS for a tax lien that the spouse incured before the marriage?

Yes. Texas is a community property state, and all income earned by both spouses is property of the community. Because of this, technically your wages are also his wages and the IRS can go after them.


Can your community hospital refuse to treat you during pregnancy?

What do you exactly mean? Are you trying to ask if the community hospital would give you pre-natal services? I do not think so. If you are trying to seek for pre-natal services, you can go to your neighborhood clinic if you do not have insurance because they charge a very minimal fee. On the other hand, if you are asking that if you went in a community hospital and your are sick (regardless if you are pregnant or not), you should be treated regardless of your ability to pay.
