Curious why the application for an Illinois has “other” as an option for the race of a newborn if the state will in turn deny your application because you selected “other” as the race of your child. Seems having it as an option on the application form is but a waste of ink and vehicle for confusion. We nearly lost a bid for insurance on our youngest because they had to wait such an extra long time for a birth certificate due to it being originally denied.
I have a friend that was passenger stopped for window tint the driver pulled out but tossed drugs on the passenger who concealed it stupidly however he refused to ID because he wasn't wearing Tint and the officer had no crime suspicion that he could state but angry over his id refusal put him in hand cuffs pulled his id runs him hears his past record takes him for strip search. Because police only follow the parts of the law that protect them and work for them. . The guy has a record but is that enough considering he was detained without reasonable articulate suspicion. The letter of the law shouldn't be just for the citizens. Should he get twenty years for someone else drugs found while his rights was violated because a deputy has a bruised ego and doesn't care about law in the first place?? He can't afford an attorney is afraid to go to court anyway because it's known fact that courts of law don't want to practice law and give you 5 times the amount of time and rarely is there justice in these small towns. What should he do honestly. ??
Would this be considered a fraudulent misrepresentation of a material fact if, say, the lessor and lessee verbally agreed that lessee will lease Location A and display her merchandise in Location A. When the lessor sends over the contract, it shows a different address, let’s call it Location B. When lessee questions, lessor says she doesn’t own the lease at Location A therefore she can’t put that address. Though Lessee had her merchandise in Location A, the contract didn’t reflect the correct premises. In top of that, lessor reduced the space usage among other things and Lessor is currently suing lessee for a breach of contract. Is this contract voidable and unenforceable?

Thank You for this excellent video. When a Guardianship of an Adult Ward is contested and a Guardian Ad Litem is appointed to make an Investigation, what does the Guardian Ad Litem look for regarding the Adult Ward to determine if the Ward is still incapacitated. When the Guardian Ad Litem interviews the Ward, what exactly is the Guardian Ad Litem looking for. How will the Guardian Ad Litem determine whether or not the Ward is still incapacitated. Does the Guardian Ad Litem test the Ward using Cognitive Testing? Does the Guardian Ad Litem ask to see the Ward's Bank Account? Does the Guardian Ad Litem look around the Ward's house or nursing home bedroom? Exactly what goes on during the interview? What would make the Guardian Ad Litem decide that the Ward is Capable of managing himself and his finances?
Hi Karen! Thank you for reaching out with your question. Here is some more information we hope you find helpful. Understanding Illinois Guardianship Law and the Role of a Guardian Ad Litem Legal Framework: Illinois guardianship law is primarily governed by the Illinois Probate Act (755 ILCS 5/). Guardianship can be appointed for both minors and adults who are deemed incapacitated. For adults, an incapacitated person is someone who, due to mental deterioration, physical incapacity, or developmental disability, is unable to manage their personal affairs or finances. Role of a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL): A Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) is a court-appointed attorney tasked with representing the best interests of the adult ward during guardianship proceedings. The GAL conducts an investigation and provides the court with an independent assessment of the ward's capacity. GAL Investigation and Assessment Interview with the Ward: Purpose: To directly assess the ward's mental and physical condition. Observations: The GAL looks for signs of cognitive impairment, confusion, memory loss, and ability to communicate effectively. Behavior and Response: The ward's ability to understand questions, provide coherent responses, and articulate their needs and desires are critical factors. Review of Medical Records: The GAL examines medical records and evaluations from healthcare professionals to understand the ward’s medical history and current condition. Consultation with the ward’s physicians may also be part of the process to get professional opinions on the ward’s capacity. Cognitive Testing: While the GAL may not personally administer cognitive tests, they may review the results of any cognitive or psychological assessments previously conducted. The GAL relies on evaluations from medical professionals, such as neurologists or psychologists, who provide expert opinions on the ward’s cognitive function. Financial Management: The GAL assesses the ward’s ability to manage finances by reviewing bank accounts, financial records, and any existing power of attorney arrangements. Interviews with family members or caregivers who assist with financial management may also be conducted. Living Environment: The GAL may visit the ward’s residence, whether it’s a private home or a nursing facility, to evaluate the living conditions. Observations include the cleanliness, safety, and suitability of the environment for the ward’s needs. Interviews with Relatives and Caregivers: The GAL speaks with family members, caregivers, and other individuals involved in the ward’s daily life to gain a comprehensive understanding of the ward’s condition and support system. These interviews help the GAL assess the ward’s social and support network. Determining Capacity Factors Considered by the GAL: Cognitive Function: Ability to understand and make decisions. Physical Health: Impact of physical conditions on the ability to manage personal and financial affairs. Support System: Availability and reliability of family or other caregivers to assist the ward. Consistency of Statements: Whether the ward’s statements and actions are consistent over time. Potential Outcomes Continued Guardianship: If the GAL concludes that the ward remains incapacitated, they will recommend the continuation of guardianship. The court will then decide based on the GAL’s report and other evidence presented. Termination of Guardianship: If the GAL determines that the ward has regained capacity, they will recommend terminating the guardianship. The court may then restore the ward’s rights to manage their personal and financial affairs. Client’s Next Steps Consultation with an Attorney: It's essential to consult with a qualified attorney to review the specific details of the case and provide personalized legal advice. Gather Evidence: Compile any relevant medical records, financial documents, and contact information for individuals who can provide testimony regarding the ward’s condition. Prepare for the GAL Investigation: Ensure that the ward is available for interviews and that all necessary documents and information are readily accessible.

We are also allowed to defend our properties. Post no trespassing signs. When they are out, replace all the locks and post up. They try to break in, the castle doctrine goes into effect and you are legally allowed to defend your property with deadly force when people attempt to break in.
Its not hard at all . Try that in my house snd i ask you once to leave . Then after that well anything can happen . Do you know how many people just vanish every year in the USA ?
So using a video of someone to deepfake it to have the victim charged with stalking is against the law.. isn’t it🧐
What if they doesn't show up?
Thank You for this extremely helpful information. When a Guardian Ad Litem is assigned to conduct an investigation, when the Guardian Ad Litem investigates and interviews the Ward, exactly what types of things would make the Guardian Ad Litem decide that the Ward is now capable of competently managing himself, capable of making decisions for himself, and that the Guardianship should be Terminated, etc.
Can you do one for Illinois and if parent can get GAL removed?
Today I submitted a rule to show cause for child support. He hasn’t paid since February 2024. He’s doing everything to get out of paying. He’s now requesting to get her 4 weeks a month in hopes to reduce support that he isn’t paying. He only get her overnight. I’m pro se. what can I do to get the courts to enforce this order?

In Texas a gun is faster and we and other southern states have the a law that says we have a right to defend our homes which means the cops will agree when we say they broke in and you had to defend yourself. Less paper work, no lawyers.
Kev nice tie!

Is the license revoked automatically or is it until after court?
Hi Michael! Thanks for reaching out with your question. In Iowa, the process and timing of a driver's license revocation following a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) arrest are determined by both administrative and criminal proceedings. Administrative Revocation: When a person is arrested for DUI in Iowa, the Department of Transportation (DOT) can administratively revoke their license. This process is separate from the criminal court proceedings and can happen even before a court conviction. Here’s how it generally works: Chemical Test Failure or Refusal: If you fail a chemical test (blood, breath, or urine) by having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher, or if you refuse to take the test, the DOT will issue a notice of revocation. This notice will usually state that your license will be revoked on the 10th day following the issuance of the notice unless you request a hearing. Hearing Request: You have the right to request an administrative hearing within ten days of receiving the notice to contest the revocation. If you request a hearing, your revocation will be stayed (postponed) until the outcome of the hearing. Outcome of Hearing: If the administrative law judge rules in your favor, your license will not be revoked. If the judge upholds the revocation, the revocation will proceed according to the notice. Criminal Proceedings: The criminal aspect of a DUI charge involves the court system and may lead to further penalties, including additional license suspension or revocation, fines, and possibly jail time, depending on the circumstances and any prior offenses. Review the Notice: Carefully read any notices you receive from the DOT or the court to understand the deadlines and procedures. Request a Hearing: If you wish to contest the administrative revocation, ensure you request a hearing within the specified time frame. Legal Representation: Consult with a qualified attorney who specializes in DUI law to help navigate the complexities of both the administrative and criminal proceedings. They can represent you at hearings and court appearances, provide legal advice tailored to your situation, and work towards the best possible outcome.

How long does the eviction process take im not paying my rent by choice but how long will i be able to stay in the apartment for free?
I was a passenger in a truck that was pulled over for a traffic infraction, the driver was arrested for driving without a license, I was the owner of the car, the police wanted to inventory the car and tow it away, I told them I'm the owner I'm licensed and can drive the car, there was a 2 litter bottle on the floor board of the car, I was quested what it was I said I don't know it's a 2 litter bottle, they asked if it's a beer, I said no I don't drink, they had step out of the car to pay me down for weapons when I stepped out of the car, the office went I the car pulled the towel that was covering the 2 litter bottle to find something he wasn't sure what it was, then searched me by going inside my jacket pocket to find drugs, he claimed his life was in danger that's why he search me. Is any of that legal the dash cam audio was not working so I can't prove I was challenging the search to tow the car, it's the officers word against mine, but the body language, indicates no fear for his safety cause he never called for back up.
I am not sure but this video be one of the best at giving the least amount of information I have ever watched. Keep it up or don't I am honestly not sure if it matters? 😂 In all seriousness please try again.
This is so incredibly stupid. The legal implications of AI “art” isn’t to do with whether the AI owns it, it’s the fact that it is stealing art from actual artists and using it to train the model. AI “art” is theft and requires no skill, don’t use AI

My mother is concerned having 7 rental properties in California which she will be leaving to my sisters and I. That California is really going down the tubes as far as not being landlord, friendly. And she is concerned that with our governor, who is trying to tax the heck out of everything we could potentially lose those properties if not protected properly. Any suggestions?
Hi Cathy! Thanks for reaching out with your question. Unfortunately, our team is not licensed in the state of California yet, and we don't yet have any California-specific content to share.
There is confusion about move out date and lease date. When does the landlord have to pay the security deposit back? Move out date (different than the lease end date). My lease was up at the end of May 2024, however, I moved out April 29. A new tenant moved in May 10. The landlord says he is still in the 30 day window.
If you put your house in a trust can someone put a lean on it
Hi denisestroger746! Thank you for reaching out with your question. Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding living trusts in Illinois. Before we proceed, please note that this information is for general purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. This response does not create an attorney-client relationship. For personalized legal advice, feel free to reach out to us at 630.324.6666. Illinois Living Trusts and Property Liens In Illinois, a living trust is a legal document that places your assets into a trust for your benefit during your lifetime and directs the distribution of those assets after your death. When you transfer your house into a living trust, the trust becomes the legal owner of the property, although you still retain control over it as the trustee (assuming you have named yourself as such). Property Liens and Living Trusts A lien is a legal claim or right against a property, typically used as collateral to satisfy a debt. Placing your house in a living trust does not inherently protect it from all types of liens. The following considerations are crucial: Existing Liens: If there are already liens on the property before it is transferred into the trust, those liens remain valid and enforceable. Future Liens: If a creditor obtains a judgment against you, they may place a lien on any property you own, including those in a living trust. However, the specifics can depend on whether the trust is revocable or irrevocable: Revocable Trust: In a revocable trust, you retain control over the trust and can alter or dissolve it. Because you retain this control, the assets in the trust are considered your personal property, and creditors can still place liens on them. Irrevocable Trust: In an irrevocable trust, you relinquish control over the assets, and the trust is considered a separate legal entity. This can provide some protection against creditors, as the property is no longer legally yours. However, establishing an irrevocable trust solely to avoid creditors can be challenged in court as a fraudulent transfer. Validity of the Client's Claim Whether the client’s claim that someone can place a lien on a property in a trust is valid depends on the following factors: Type of Trust: Is the trust revocable or irrevocable? Timing of the Lien: Was the lien placed before or after the property was transferred to the trust? Nature of the Debt: Certain types of debts, like tax liens, may have broader enforcement capabilities. Next Steps for the Client Review the Trust Document: Understand the terms of the trust, specifically whether it is revocable or irrevocable, as this will impact the protection level. Consult with a Lawyer: It’s important to get personalized legal advice based on the specific circumstances of your case. An attorney can provide guidance on how to protect your assets and address existing liens. Asset Protection Planning: If protecting assets from future creditors is a primary concern, discuss with your attorney the possibility of establishing an irrevocable trust or other asset protection strategies.

I will never move to a democratic state again. Let alone to buy rental property. They hate landlords. And they think that we should take care of tenant even the rich ones. There are people out here in Los Angeles that are supposed to be paying 5 and 10000 dollars a month. And they're not because. They don't have to. It takes forever to evict the landlord's always at fault. It's crazy, never in a democratic state
Is burglary 3rd degree considered a non violent felony?
Hi JayPoster490! Thank you for reaching out with your question. Understanding Third-Degree Burglary in Iowa Under Iowa law, third-degree burglary is typically classified under Iowa Code § 713.6A. It generally involves burglary of an "unoccupied motor vehicle or motor truck" or other non-dwelling places such as unoccupied buildings or vessels, provided no one is present, and there is no intent to commit a felony, assault, or theft. However, the specifics can vary based on the details of the offense. Classification as a Violent or Non-Violent Felony Iowa does not have a simple classification of felonies into "violent" and "non-violent" categories in its statutes. Whether a crime is considered violent often depends on the circumstances of the crime and is sometimes determined based on the definitions used by various legal entities or for specific legal purposes, such as sentencing enhancements, parole eligibility, or federal crime reporting. General Perception: Typically, third-degree burglary might be considered a non-violent felony if it involves no assault, no one is present during the crime, and no weapon is used. However, this can change if the burglary involves circumstances that could be construed as violent or potentially violent. Legal Consequences: The classification impacts several areas, including potential sentence lengths, parole eligibility, and rehabilitation programs. For example, being charged with a violent felony can lead to harsher penalties and longer sentences. This response provides a general overview of how Iowa law treats third-degree burglary, but it does not constitute legal advice or establish an attorney-client relationship.

I got text messages proof with time date and names of her saying she was going to keep it away from me if it's mine idk what to do 😢
Hello! Thanks for reaching out with your question. Remember, this response is informational and does not constitute legal advice or establish an attorney-client relationship. Establishing Paternity Before any custody discussions can occur, paternity must be established. Illinois recognizes several ways to establish paternity: Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (VAP): Both parents can sign a VAP form at the hospital when the child is born or later. This form is legally binding and establishes paternity without going to court. Administrative Paternity Order: Issued by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services if paternity is established through genetic testing or other means. Order of Paternity in Court: If there is a dispute over paternity, either parent can file a petition in the circuit court to determine paternity. The court may order DNA testing. Custody and Parental Rights Once paternity is established, the father has the right to seek custody or visitation. Illinois law refers to these arrangements as "allocation of parental responsibilities" and "parenting time." Parental Responsibilities: This includes making significant decisions about the child's upbringing, such as education, health care, and religious training. Parenting Time: Refers to the actual time a parent spends with the child. Illinois courts decide these issues based on what is in the best interests of the child, considering many factors including the wishes of the child (depending on age), the child’s adjustment to his or her home, school, and community, and the mental and physical health of all individuals involved. What Your Client Can Do Establish Paternity: If paternity is in question, your client should seek to establish paternity legally as soon as the child is born. If the mother contests paternity, your client can petition the court for a DNA test. Legal Representation: It is advisable for your client to hire a family law attorney who can guide them through the process of establishing paternity and seeking custody or visitation rights. Document Interaction: Advise your client to keep detailed records of all interactions with the mother, including saving text messages and any other communications that might support their case in court. Seek Mediation: If possible, engaging in mediation with the mother might be beneficial to settle disputes amicably. This can be less adversarial and more cost-effective than court proceedings. File for Custody or Parenting Time: Once paternity is established, your client can file a petition for the allocation of parental responsibilities or for reasonable parenting time. Prepare for Court: If the case goes to court, having evidence that demonstrates a willingness and capability to be a responsible parent will be crucial.
Thank you; but I notice that you just repeated what everyone knows and I did not see any example of actual explanation for example of PART 3 with real situations or the Interpreter part alike: If the husband helps his wife to fill the form and which is the correct answer etc to other questions; but it was OK despite the lack of practical examples.
It would help if CPS did anything at all this might be worth noting. CPS literally ignored everything and usually endangers children more by pointing out people are noticing abuse and or thr child asked for help. And the parent gets livid then increasing abuse. CPS skips away mocking the child they even spoke what's so ever. My little ones spoke out about them having in appropriate encounter of there father touching them. One of them was to young to fully respect to other adults as she is shy and it wasn't comfortable for her and the other it was more Suttle but jot okay he was rubbing her outside of her clothing and the last one he was putting his hand in her pants incerting his finger in her anus and rubbing her vagine. Cps does there investigation. Report says we can't find out if the incidences were sexually motivated or not. And Rebecca mention child custody ( I mentioned as in I am not allowing him to see them until I am forced to be is is a sick low life piece of garbage and she proceeded to turn my words in the favor of him like it was revenge the kids ahead words vs my reaction to there word. They do there half arse investigation with police and they made sure to do everything possible to hide his action not considering the abuse I endured. Just to list in quick words after ine of my children were born I had a c section and he raped while still healing just a couple weeks after the procedure. He did it with intent to hid trying to kill me as he could make it look like a medical accident vs malicious intent bc he wanted government benefits. Proceeding this he held me Captive so I couldn't leave by the time I was able to leave I was in such a messed up state bc I had to fawn the hell out of the situation to even live. At this point all evidence lost in my mind I'm still lingering with him around d to protect my kids from family court and the fact they don't care about children. Not even long after this event in state where I am literally repulsed by this man. He raped me again with intent to force a pregnacy (he had a gun btw) he did this knowing it would put me into a high risk pregancy ending my ability to make proper money af6er just buying myself a home in the process of switching jobs. I could have died yet again. I got pregant from this one encounter. I didn't know there is any protection for women in those situation and be honest here and rape stats they literally do nothing it's a joke it's even a law of being illegal bc women every where now how it goes. Just after said child was born he was trying to push me to commit suicide while in postpartum. He then within the year after the last chikd was born attacked me threatening to kill me if I left and if I tried to do anything like get a job or do anything provided safty for me or the kids he would kill me and make sure he inherted everything thru the kids. Mind you he did work for anything in his life only I did. His biggest achievement was being as lazy and manipulative as possible and a steady line of hookers. Only time he had interest in the kids exstance was once he was put on the spot life for child molestation and he changed his whole tune to a victim like he was abused and everyone was out to get him. He only asked about the kids in threat like if didn't do what he wanted he would remind he has control over them and everyone will happily support him and his absue blindly. As proven over and over again they do. Now year and years down the road I finally get the will power and knowledge to get a restraning order and magically he claims he is the victim and he is some perfect father and I'm some evil women keeping the kids from him and that is all the restraning order is for. Thank God almighty the restraning order did go thru. But in this essentially it was a decree of child sacrifice. If you won't sacrifice your self then we will be sacrificing your children. Another women has more protection that I ever have had or my children will have. He then after years files for parental rights... He gets supervised thereputic parenting time. From my research is aka abuser brain washing services. A therapist and the abuser tag team the child claiming they arnt allowed ro have feeling and since the abuser isn't abusive in front of the therapist no he must be a great person and everything is just a crazy women's fault. No joke this is indiana for you. Yes in the mix of getting the restraining order the judges suggested reporting the crimes the first one I have very little. The second I have a child, the text convo before the incident and medical docs of Hugh risk pregnacy that not only was this an issue once but twice prior to the Conception of that child due to time line. But after seeking how this state works and puck and chooses cases. It will put forth more effort to protect these types of people and potentially endanger children then properly protect them. More trauma keeps them all employeed. It so messed up bc thru this process it forced to to cope with the fact you can't protect your children and your not allowed ro keep them safe and be a healthy parent for them you have to warn them and apologize regularly for everything and disconnect. So what the system does is protect the abuser and ruin the parent who is trying to protect them. So the child is left in really crumby situations bc they claim both parents are the best interest. If my kids dad would have been successful in killing me and hidding it he would be molesting the child(ren) and brain washing them from the age they were in diapers. He was showing major signs of grooming from the very second he could interact with them and show signs. Trying to isolate and make his connection secret and private and also tried to coax them into thinking they didn't have to respect me if they delt with his behavior. Once when my oldest was a baby I left her with him and when I got her she was bleeding from her anus and was making gestures and grading her privates. CPS gets involved medical and literally every single one ignored what I said and did everything to bypass and alter what was being said and my concerns. He then proceeded to threaten me after the incidences making me have to tone my voice on top of them trying to do everything possible to twist my words. All the system is a pedo incest and rape protecting square trying parade around as heros. He also let his oldest son touch one of his daughters when the child was 10 and the daughter was 2 and potty training. Since she was walking around the house naked it was her fault and she deserved it. He said nothing to him of value like where he got the info to even try or that it wasn't okay he was doing what he was and shunned me for catching the situation along side the 2 year old daughter. No joke I wonder if it was just him if he would have seen it if he would have just stood in a spot to watch and do nothing.
Caregiver adult ... does independent living count as keeping elder safe for 2 years prior ... or given consideration
What happened here? Was this supposed to be edited? 😮
new Democrat law can only drive up rents for the people Dems are "helping"
45 days for a deposit back?! Why so long? That’s not a timely manner for someone who may need said deposit back in order to pay for their next move. It’s like they forget that renters don’t usually have a lot of cash laying around.
I filed a petition for guardianship for my 24 year old daughter. The lawyer over my daughter said there wouldn't be any problems. After I took the notes from her doctor as she was saying I should be her guardian while she is pregnant. Then they rescheduled the petition for a week. I went today and they flipped the script. They brought a social service lawyer and a social worker. I lost the petition because my daughter with cat cry syndrome is pregnant and they're trying to say the relations weren't consensual. Even though her doctor said it was. The judge gave guardianship to the department of social services. I don't know what to do. They got her dad to take her today. I don't know what will happen after that. What steps can I take to get her back home. I have been responsible for her for 11 years on my own. I didn't know I needed a lawyer because her lawyer said it would be a simple matter.
Ambiguous = discretion on the Trustee's part. In my situation, the Trustee has bent over backward to be "fair and impartial" to ALL beneficiaries. Too fair in my opinion. I am the prime beneficiary with charitable remaindermen. The "settlor" had a 2001 trust and a 2010 amendment. In both, unambiguously it was stated that "...all the rest and residue..." would be provided to the primary income beneficiaries with "income" monthly. The Trust was converted into a "Unitrust" under state law in 2018. I am the last of three primary beneficiaries the rest being deceased. The trust was amended in 2014 BY THE TRUSTEE to address special needs by the first primary beneficiary who was accessing Medicaid through the state and so a "special needs" amendment was initiated to protect trust assets. In that amendment the order of primary beneficiaries and language of the previous trust(s) remained intact with the exception that the five words "...all the rest and residue..." was removed from the language of the amended trust as it applied to the primary income beneficiaries. This "removal" made the rest of the language ambiguous and ambiguity equals discretion which means the Trustee can be much more controlling of the assets so it is "fair and impartial" to ALL beneficiaries both primary and contingent and aggressively so in my opinion. The trust language also says that "principal shall be distributed for health education or welfare needs as requested (by the primary income beneficiary) as requested" by that person, which in this case is myself. Since the five words were removed from the 2014 trust, the Trustee interprets this to allow them control over the trust assets differently than if the five words were still in place. I am not a spendthrift but the trust makes me jump through many hoops to get anything other than my percentage under the trust always throwing the "fair and impartial" in my face. But there is a wrinkle. The 2014 amendment which changed the "intent of the settlor" by removing the five unambiguous words was based upon the original trust made in 2001. They apparently were unaware of the amended and restated 2010 trust. And so, the foundation of the amended trust is..."suspect..." in the first place. Second, the two versions of the trust initiated by the settlor show the "intent of the settlor" unambiguously whereas the 2014 change initiated by the Trustee removing the five words is ambiguous. I have always considered the Trustee to be "well intentioned" as they took the issue of increasing my unitrust percentage to five percent. I had to argue for the five percent but had a good case and the judge agreed. But now the five word change has me concerned. WHY was that done when the rest of the changes from the original trust were essentially copy and paste? Oh further, the trust says principal shall be used when requested and the state law says that the wording of the "governing instrument" is key to how the trustee must distribute to primary income beneficiaries. The trustee has chosen to provide ALL distributions as distributed net income and never provided principal on my health related expenditures or upon two requests it grudgingly approved. This has resulted in a substantial hit on taxes in the 10K range of passed through Capital gains as I calculate it. They should have changed welfare in the amendment to to "maintenance and support" is my take as that would have given them even more power over the assets (being sarcastic here). So, now I'm pissed as I go over four years of emails asking for clarity on this and simply requesting more transparent communications so I don't get nailed for an extra 10K in taxes once every few years when the economy is bad and they have to rebalance the portfolio. And my research has allowed me to realize the 65 day IRS CFR and that many trustees in complex trusts work closely with their beneficiaries and even beneficiary's CPA's AND have flexibility during the 65 days to adjust the impact upon a beneficiary by holding more taxes in the trust instead of puking them up and on top of the beneficiary. They never ask me anything but I have many emails requesting this kind of interaction over four years. Excuse my vitriol. So, now I'm first working with the trust to see how they will fix it. They actually invest quite well. I also have the best elder law attorney in the state on standby but they have said, I seem to have it covered so far and asked how I knew all this stuff. I note to them and to the Trustee as a warning before, I used to write statutes and regulations at the state level and functioned as a revisor additionally for a state Department. I'm NOT an attorney even though many judges and lawyers said I should be but I am not interested in that as a daily exercise, but I sure know how to ID key elements of statutes and drill down in research all the way back to intent from legislatures and extrapolate the impact of the inter-relationships of statutes to other statutes within the context of the "web" of laws. I have multiple commendations from a state Attorney General on special investigations where my agency interacted with that agency. I'm now angry and the Trustee should never have made me angry and made me go back to the thought processes I did well for 30 frigging years before retiring. All I have to do is focus and click the old gears on the machine back on. They are rusty, but doing fine which frankly I wondered if they could still function like they used to. It's good to know they can. I'm getting very old, but I'm not dead yet. Its MY ox getting gored...
