Thanks!

To paraphrase, I must stick to my unadulterated observations of what happened, with no assignation of motivation or opinion. I probably will have to drive to the sheriff as opposed to calling in the complaint or having the sheriff come out in response to a report the next time that the...

Talking to COUNTY Sheriff is a good idea. THE Sheriff's office would, in theory, start out neutral, that is, with an open mind, and listen to a (Brief) explanation of the circumstances.

Thanks! THE 337 report of all incidents that I have compiled will serve as a record for my benefit, if I am ever questioned by a legal or judicial authority, but has no other purpose. IF I did contact the FBI or DOJ, I would simply say that hate crimes were committed and so on and omit sending...

YES, I live in LA, Cal, but my house is not in AN HOA. I also want to say that, although my neighbor does not work, his wife does, and she supports the 2 of them and their 2 young kids. She is no angel, however; when she is home, she eggs him on with comments such as, "HONEY, are you going to...

Hi. THANKS for all of the great advice. I will summarize what I think are the salient points. 1. DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT. GET a video camera and attach it to the house to record everything that happens OUTSIDE; 2. use handheld phone camera if I am outside with my dad--he is cell phone...

I am not certain if this forum is the correct one for my topic, but I will give the details and let the chips fall. Feel free to move the post to the appropriate category. My dad and I have lived in our house for 50 years. Since 2020 a neighbor who just moved in began to harass us. HIS house...

Great day in the morning! I must be in HEAVEN to have obtained such thorough answers. THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! I only wish that I had more questions so that I could learn about the tax system. TAKE care. As you can see, I truly am appreciative

I am certainly leaning towards FMV, as it makes the most sense to me, but I am a writer, not a tax attorney or cpa. I would prefer cost basis, though, but the odds seem nil.;)

I see. I must file the FORM 709 as planned. THANKS!

THANKS for such detailed answers. I learned a lot and I realize that I have much work to do before 4/18/23. 1. To start with, I NEVER filed FORM 709 before, as I never made a gift. NEITHER DID MY DAD. The only guidance that I found in the 'instructions for FORM 709' booklet was to INCLUDE...

Thanks!

What is the name of your state?California. My dad and I owned a house jointly from 1965 until 12/1/22. I signed my 1/2 of the house to him. THE house was worth $900,000 on 12/1/22 and is in california. ON FORM 709, SCHED A, PART 1, line 1, COLUMN B, I will put my dad's name and the legal...
