      Location of Will

      We were thinking about the safe deposit box method, but, as mentioned, the designated executor has to get the Will before (s)he can be appointed as executor. I didn't have a problem getting the Will when I was an executor, but I did have trouble getting into the safe deposit boxes. Multiple...

      501(c)(3) donation letters

      Federal income taxes - We make monetary donations during the year to a couple 501(c)(3) organizations. The donations are processed electronically through a service. That service charges a fee which it deducts from the amount that it transmits to the 501(c)(3) organizations. My question has to...

      How does Survivor's Benefit work?

      Guess I shouldn't have stopped Googling things. Or perhaps that fact that I did pause allowed me to change how I Googled after I posted this. Seems I found an answer. She will receive "Z" as it is larger than "X".

      Payment to husband alone, for a rental TBE property

      Let jump in here as a former landlord (sold in September) and spouse of a nitpicky bookkeeper. And no, my experience was not in Florida. Rental businesses usually are run as “cash” not accrual. Therefore, your income is what you actually received not what should have been paid. Tenant didn’t...

      Any thoughts on holding a mortgage for someone?

      A couple thoughts regarding what might be in the lawyer written contract. Some years ago we bought a duplex where the seller provided financing. The payments were amortized over 30 years but the contract required a balloon payment a lot earlier than that (I think it was 10 years). Also, the...

      Banks requiring Photo ID for cash

      It is not unique to my bank. I have encounter this at more than one bank (not different branches of the same brand). The only answer I have gotten is that it is bank policy. Perhaps it is a regional thing.

      Banks requiring Photo ID for cash

      My reference to 'cash' being loosely defined was an attempt to take a swipe at how the definition has changed from solely coins and currency to now include cashier’s checks (sometimes called a treasurer’s check or bank check), bank drafts, traveler’s checks, or money orders. When someone says...

      Banks requiring Photo ID for cash

      What would a non-customer be making a deposit into? Do you mean that if someone tries to deposit cash into my account, and that person doesn't have an account with my bank, that the bank charges (either the depositor or me) a fee? Or do you mean if someone wants to cash a check at a bank at...

      Banks requiring Photo ID for cash

      What is the name of your state? WA Can anyone explain why banks require photo ID when a person makes a deposit that includes cash? I’m aware of the federal requirement for identifying anyone who deposits cash (loosely defined) in an amount greater than $10,000. I’m referring to needing photo...

      Lien if mortgage paid off

      What is the name of your state? WA An organization to which I belong has published a guide to help us organize our personal and financial info into one place for our survivors.

      When is 'closing date'?

      Oops, sorry - Washington (the state)
    17. S

      When is 'closing date'?

      We are selling a couple rental properties. The purchase & sale agreements list closing dates. As I prepare to pro-rate the rents between us and the new owners I was thinking about whether the closing date is the date we sign papers or the following business day when the papers are filed and...

      Cap Gains - Installment sale

      We would require down payment equal to or greater than mortgage payoff. So would be about 30% down. Otherwise, go get regular mortgage and cash me out.

      Cap Gains - Installment sale

      Washington State - we are selling a couple rental properties. Just got asked whether we would consider seller financing (we are kicking that idea around). So this evening's question is - Does receiving payments over time impact capital gains taxes? And if it does, how does it impact it...
