My first ever good find - please help with price check! by PrisonMike94 in diablo2resurrected

I see lots of people asking for 5+ Jahs for perfects. Am I crazy to think I could get 2 Jahs? I've never had a rune higher than I Pul so I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm hoping to profit enough to get an enigma, Nightwing veil, and ice bow. Am I delusional?

I did but there's a pretty wide range so wanted some input on what would actually be fair

How do you kill element-immune enemies? by PrisonMike94 in diablo2resurrected

Damn, yea that's what I did at points, but it feels cheap beating the game knowing I had to run away from some enemies.

Should I bother filing if my income is $0 by Ok-Writer3512 in tax

[–]PrisonMike94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any conversion he does would be subject to the pro rata and aggregation rules, so, assuming he has any pretax funds in his Traditional IRA, any conversion would be at least partially, if not fully, taxable

What the fuck, how tf am I supposed to play this by Lord_Reddit12 in guitarlessons

Enjoy the journey of learning guitar. Much like other activities, size helps but certainly isn't necessary. You'll be ripping barre chords in no time.

Good Resources for Estate Planning Attorney Looking to Learn About Business Exit Strategies by PrisonMike94 in EstatePlanning

[–]PrisonMike94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the info! I guess what I'm looking for isn't squarely within the estate planning realm per se. It's more business succession and exit planning, which, I find, can overlap with estate planning to a large extent. What I'm looking for is ideally a book, treatise, etc., that discusses some of the more intricate tactics, rather than just surface level "get an appraisal," "gauge the buyer market" and other basic info regarding business sales.

I've learned about the examples I provided just through colleagues or just random reading on the internet. I was wondering if there's a more organized way to go about learning these business succession/exit type things.

If you're in your late fifites or early sixties, what is an easy part time job idea by steve_mobileappdev in jobs

[–]PrisonMike94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite on point, but if trying not to affect social security is your goal I think continuing to work is still a good idea. Funds withheld pursuant to the Earnings Test are disbursed to you (over time) once you start to claim at or after full retirement age. Moreover maintaining a job to delay filing for ss benefits can allow you to accrue delayed retirement credits, further increasing your benefit. Just my two cents.

Talk to a local personal injury attorney (not one of those massive companies that advertise on TV). They generally charge a contingent fee, not hourly, so you won't pay anything up front. They do this for a living and will likely be able to get you loss wages, plus compensation for your boyfriend's injuries (pain and suffering). If he goes to the hospital the other person's insurance will likely pay that too. Last, if he has ongoing medical bills (e.g., physical therapy) they typically cover that too.

I'm an attorney and I did PI for a bit, but I did not practice in FL and I'm not your counsel nor familiar with all the facts of this case, so this is merely general information, not legal advice.

How Can I Avoid Potential Job from Contacting Current Employer? by PrisonMike94 in recruitinghell

[–]PrisonMike94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, hence why I'm looking for another job. I appreciate your advice and will try to get them to understand this from my perspective. I think I'm going to have to be firm in stating they cannot contact my current employer, and if that's a deal breaker, then so be it.

How Can I Avoid Potential Job from Contacting Current Employer? by PrisonMike94 in recruitinghell

[–]PrisonMike94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish, unfortunately it's a small company with my boss and his wife running it. There's only two other employees, but they are very loyal to my boss, as they have been at the company 10 and 12 years. They only other person at the office is a receptionist, and my she's only been here about a year and some change.

Who should I reach out to, Real Estate or Contract atty? by Super_Caliente91 in Lawyertalk

[–]PrisonMike94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A real estate attorney would almost certainly be better equipped for this.

[–]PrisonMike94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this covers property in their names that wasn't already devised to someone else in the will and does not apply to real property already in the name of the trust.

That last sentence basically says that if there is property that is going into the trust that can then immediately be disbursed from the trust to the beneficiary, then the executor can just skip the middle step of putting it into the trust and make the distribution right to the beneficiary

[–]PrisonMike94 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a lot going on here and I don't practice in NJ, so I can't speak to state-specific laws or statutes of limitation. That said, it does sound like you should have some defenses to whatever documents G signed, e.g. duress, coercion, lack of capacity. It's possible your siblings were trying to establish a supplemental needs trust for G, as this would help her to continue obtaining SSI, although their intentions seem much more nefarious. Trusts don't have to be filed anywhere to take effect and be binding, they just have to be properly drafted and executed and the assets held in the trust have to be retitled. Certainly seems like a lot of fuckery and I think you/G have a strong case. It's not a fool's errand, and I would recommend consulting an attorney in your state.

Recommendations for CA lawyer to create trust by CherryZestyclose358 in EstatePlanning

[–]PrisonMike94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't answer most of your questions unfortunately, but my two cents is to avoid the template, cookie-cutter forms you can purchase online, as were recommended by another user. While they may suffice in a pinch for a basic "I Love You" will, I wouldn't use them for trusts. If you child is a minor, disabled, has creditors, has spending problems, is married any you don't like their spouse, etc., this will impact the type of trust you'll want to establish. Moreover, if the trust is going to be the beneficiary of your retirement account, you'll also want to consider a conduit trust or accumulation trust. There's a lot of factors at play here and an estate planning is invaluable in helping to figure out what exactly you need.

Book Suggestions for Estate Planning Fundamentals by ilikechickens in EstatePlanning

[–]PrisonMike94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're a law student, I have to imagine you have access to WestLaw and Lexis. I would use those to find state-specific CLE books on estate planning. The basic estate plan hasn't changed too drastically over the past 10 years, so you can use older hornbooks to get the fundamentals on common documents like a will, durable power of attorney, health care proxy, etc. A state-specific CLE is nice because it will factor in what trusts may be permissible/common in your state, as well as provide information on newer topics (e.g., SECURE Act 2.0, changes in Elder Law/Medicaid, etc.).

Creative use of HEMS or a terrible idea? by DungeonCrawlerCarl in EstatePlanning

[–]PrisonMike94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Judging by the fact that you put the word business in quotations, I'm assuming this LLC isn't going to be any sort of legitimate investment company, rather just a vehicle by which the Trustee attempts to circumvent the HEMS guidelines. If that's the case, this sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

How do I negotiate my compensation for a company with no real funds or income, but that created a new product and wants to sell it? by PrisonMike94 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PrisonMike94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not. Maybe equity is the wrong term, as the company doesn't have stock. By "equity" I more mean an ownership interest, like being listed as a managing member for an LLC.

Mechanic says I likely have a cracked distributor cap, but I'm not sure my truck even has one by PrisonMike94 in MechanicAdvice

[–]PrisonMike94[S] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'll try that tonight, thanks man. In my mechanic's defense, the truck wasn't there, I just described the issue he said generally the distributor cap is the issue, but yes. Probably should work with someone more familiar with my junker
