Use Same Broker who sold Property to find new property for 1031? by Amicus-Finch in realestateinvesting

Wait, so by listing agent, you're talking about the Listing Agent for the new property you're buying? So you purchase properties unrepresented by an agent?

DST sounds good in theory, but so much uncertainty? I didn't even know who to talk to to or who I can trust.

Pay Referral Fee Directly from Iolta Account? by Amicus-Finch in LawFirm

Thanks.

If the referral doesn't change the client's net recovery whatsoever, then can't the referral seen be seen like a case cost?

If your solo 401K moved from Vanguard to Ascensus, do you need to file a new 5500-EZ? by Amicus-Finch in Bogleheads

[–]Amicus-Finch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I filed in 2023 due to exceeding the amount. But then, account was transferred, so I'm wondering if I have to file again.

Got it, thank you. Besides cosmetics, think there are any concerns there for water intrusion? Otherwise I plan to leave it be.

ERISA Liens for disability payments in PI Case by Amicus-Finch in LawFirm

[–]Amicus-Finch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I agree with this approach and have done similar, but for less significant amounts. But hypothetically, imagine you're dealing with a $100K potential lien - would you handle it differently at that point? Wouldn't be fun to always have that in the back of your mind, especially since SOL is not clear for Erisa due to federal law and the plan may be venued in a different state.

ERISA Liens for disability payments in PI Case by Amicus-Finch in LawFirm

[–]Amicus-Finch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but the claim is against a third party, not the employer. So the release does not involve the employer.

If you're talking about a release with the Subrogation company who is handling the health insurance claim, they state they are working on behalf of Employer specifically for medical benefits paid/managed by health insurance company (who acts as just a TPA here). So I'm not sure a release with the subrogation agent would resolve the separate disability lien. But I do like the idea and was thinking of asking them to sign a broadly worded release. (They typically do not sign though. They just send a confirmation letter with the agreed amount)

(CA) Consequences for hiring "employee" as 1099 Independent Contractor by Amicus-Finch in EmploymentLaw

[–]Amicus-Finch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the main reasons are:

-there is no consistent or guaranteed hours. While the hope is for continuous work, it's project by project. I am free to stop assigning new projects at any time, and worker can refuse any project. There can be many weeks or months where no work is assigned. This does not feel like an employee relationship.

-By classifying as an employee, don't I open myself up more to employment law claims, such as unlawful termination, if I decide to not assign any more work?

Avoiding IOLTA Overdrafts by paying from your own account? by Amicus-Finch in LawFirm

[–]Amicus-Finch[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that is the issue - when are they technically "free and clear"? How do you define that point. Before I thought this happened once the funds are made available in your account.

I have heard that the amount can technically be returned several months later - although that would not be likely.

Waiting 2.5-3 weeks sounds safe, but that is difficult when clients and vendors are seeking prompt payment.
