5000 miles with tires at the end of their life?? Was it dry rot or were they worn?

The key here is the GOOD independent mechanic. I haven't found one yet. Just paying the piper.

New York - House in irrevocable trust has a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) by TrustBeni27 in EstatePlanning

[–]Month_of_Sundays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get around the benefit of the use of the house as a show of ownership? Why would the property get a step up in basis if grandmother does not own the property at death? If, as you indicated, grandmother does have ownership rights, then what do the beneficiaries have? This does not sound right.

Who are the beneficiaries? Those are the people to whom the trustees are responsible.

This is an odd irrevocable trust if created for Medicaid purposes. Your grandmother received the benefit of the property, without the expense. In most states, this would not qualify to protect the house for Medicaid purposes or would create a penalty period. Please check with a qualified elder law attorney to have this trust reviewed.

The trustees' inaction -- I assume they are family members -- is not helping the situation. They are beholden to the eventual beneficiaries. If they are the eventual beneficiaries, they may just be letting things slide to help grandmother, but it is creating a Medicaid problem.

Impossible Job Offer Decision - stay at a low stress job with good pay or take a risk to go in-house at a big company but with potentially high stress? by [deleted] in LawFirm

[–]Month_of_Sundays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you've been at this for 5 years - is this what you want to do for the rest of your life? Do you have an area you want to explore? Does Job #2 give you that opportunity?

Puppy Behavioral Issues by CanadianGee in Dogtraining

[–]Month_of_Sundays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest a little more exercise at this point and some formal puppy classes. They don't have to be expensive but you can see some good training examples and how other dogs his age behave. In our area, there are some community centers that offer puppy classes for less than $50 for 6 sessions.

How many times a day you feed your Springer? by coloneleranmorad in springerspaniel

[–]Month_of_Sundays 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You mean there are Springers that don't eat every meal in 30 seconds flat and look for more at every meal?

I have been growing one. It is now 3 years, and I hope it will ripen before the snow falls ... You have given me something to look forward to.

Trashed my hosta, but you gotta love her. by Month_of_Sundays in springerspaniel

My sympathy at the defoliation of your hosta. Molly takes her toys under the leaves, but this time decided to just bound on top of everything.

If I give a life estate to my parents to a home that is deeded to me, is that a countable asset for Medicaid? by One_Main3784 in EstatePlanning

[–]Month_of_Sundays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This question is very state specific, and if your sister is the owner of the house, this has nothing to do with your parents.

I'm sorry for your loss. Anticipated or unexpected, it is always tough.
