What is the name of your state? California My husband's truck was "totaled" a week ago. The driver of the other car, and his insurance company, accept full liability for the accident. (My husband was stopped at a red light and was rear-ended.) All of the damage is cosmetic--tailgate smashed...

You're welcome. Good luck to you.

I can only answer your first question. Yes, you can sell his home without going through probate. The title company will need a complete certified copy of the trust. Contact your CPA or a tax attorney regarding any tax liabilities.

I'm sorry for your loss. Was everything that he owned transferred to the trust via Schedule A, or at the time of his death did he own anything solely in his name that was never transferred via Schedule A?

dabodu The only loser here is you. Ladynred, JETX, and several other regular posters to this forum give excellent advice. Why would you even care if anyone else had used this so-called program if it worked for you, as you claim? Since, as you point out, this forum is for helping people...

Oh, yeah, and your advice about fighting it because "people have to learn to be nice" is dead on. That defense will surely work in the local KINDERGARTEN COURT. Veronica is right on in her questions, and if you were as smart as you think you are, you would have directed the OP in that...

So, now you're advocating fees????? You're hilarious and don't even know it.

Well, Dingbat Deb, I think by your continual ranting and raving that you continue to prove that YOU are the one who is clueless. I'm well aware of the fact that paying bills online is becoming the norm, and that certain companies may want to charge a fee for consumers continuing to pay by...

Well, Deb...... I clearly never called you stupid, as you so freely choose to call me now, so let's see... YOU'RE the one who bounced her checkbook~~not me, EVER. YOU'RE the one who would rather have your bank bounce your check and charge you a fee for doing so, rather than have your bank...

It depends on how far your process went. Did you talk to a broker about refinancing which caused them to run a preliminary credit check, whereupon they verbally told you that you wouldn't qualify based on your credit? Or, did you actually fill out a loan application, pay a credit check fee...

Wow. I think your logic is really convoluted. Are you saying you'd prefer the bank to bounce your check instead of covering it for a fee? WHY??? When all is said and done, you'll probably end up paying the same amount in returned check fees from your bank and the merchant who received your bad...

Deb, You've obviously researched this a lot, but I just can't comprehend your reasoning, no matter how hard I try. When I write a paper check, I deduct it from my balance. When I pay a bill online, I deduct it from my balance. When I make an ATM withdrawal, I deduct it from my balance. When...

Thank you very much for your answer. It comes as a great relief to my sister and me, since we have incurred considerable credit card debt of our own to care for our father over the past nine years.

Thank you very much for your response. If I understand you correctly, the money I received as POD beneficiary ($88,000) is excluded from my mother's estate? Only the small amount of furniture is considered a part of her estate, thereby making her estate bankrupt? Thanks again.

What is the name of your state? California My mother passed away recently. She lived in California (so do I), but moved to Wisconsin a week before her death. I was the POD beneficiary on her checking and savings accounts. Her only possessions besides the bank accounts were a small amount...
