How Should The Debtor Pay A Judgment?
Presuming that the debtor agrees to pay off your judgment, what's the right way of accepting
payment and what location? Preferably, you would not meet your judgment debtor face to face,
after the judgment was rendered. The debtor might be rude, or worse.
In general, it's best to have the judgment repaid inside an envelope mailed to your post office
box. The second best method to be paid on your judgment, without facing the debtor; would be to
ask the judgment debtor pay the clerk of the court at a courthouse. Even these payment
transportation methods have some drawbacks; examples are, "My check is in the mail", and the
clerk of the court might retain your money for a certain amount of time before you can receive
it.
When the judgment debtor insists on seeing you face-to-face, make sure this happens at a secure
and public place. Do not meet your debtor at your house, their house, or a restaurant or a store.
Good locations to meet the judgment debtor are at the courthouse or in the lobby of your local
Sheriff or Marshall. The goal is to take advantage of the secure location, however not to bother
the staffers in the courthouse or Sheriff's lobby area.
Be sure the debtor is repaying you in full, as it's very inconvenient to keep meeting them with a
partial payment. Ideally, one would be repaid, and that's all. My articles are my opinions and are
not, legal advice. I'm a judgment broker, and not a lawyer. When you ever need a strategy to use
or legal advice, please retain a lawyer.
In the real world, many folks enjoy hearing their own voices. Often, debtors have a duty to bend
your ear about a bunch of information which you do not need to know. Often, a judgment debtor
complains about the original plaintiff, or tell you they got ripped off and don't actually owe
anything. Remind the judgment debtor, that what counts is a judge decided the debtor owes the
judgment. Let them vent a little while, but do not let the debtor wear you out.
Which types of payments might you accept? Your first choice is a cashier's check from the
debtor's bank. The bank is one more relatively secure place to meet your judgment debtor. Also,
you may get an advantage of witnessing them get the cashier's check, which almost guarantees that
check will be good. The second best payment method is a money order, from an issuer which you
know.
Another payment option is cash. Be sure it's not counterfeit, and make sure to supply some kind
of receipt, signed by both you and your judgment debtor, which lists the amount of cash paid.
Make sure you both get a copy of the signed receipt. A personal check from your debtor also
works; however allow time to make sure that the check clears, prior to satisfying the judgment.
(Only) when you are paid for sure, quickly satisfy the judgment.
What if you can accept credit card payments, or have a PayPal account? The wordings on the
contracts and agreements of merchant credit card accounts and PayPal, most often specify that
holders of accounts can't take payments on judgments.
When your judgment debtor is a company, one can usually remain a bit more relaxed about getting
repaid. The larger and more successful the business, the more one can remain calm. When the
company is big and successful, you can meet with their financial person inside their lobby area,
and take a check with no worry that it might bounce, etc. When the company isn't large and not
profitable, you have to play it by ear.
Lastly, often debtors will agree to pay you a certain amount before meeting you face to face, and
then attempt and get a surprise compromise from you when the debtor meets meet you in person. That
isn't fair to you, and most of the time they could repay you what they initially promised to pay,
if the debtor wanted to. Again, use your own judgment in this kind of surprise deal circumstance.

Genuine Mistakes Or Fraudulent Omission - Both Contribute To Benefit Fraud
Less fortunate persons, or those finding themselves disadvantaged after losing a job, can rely on
support from the benefit system. It will allow them to maintain a reasonable standard of living
and hopefully provide the opportunity to reestablish their life.
Such is the size of the welfare bill that it is naturally a target for the fraudsters. The
authorities admit that over 1% of the £300 billion paid out in benefit is lost to fraud and
error. They suggest that 1% benefit mistakes isn't too bad! However, £3 billion is a massive
loss and may even be a substantial understatement.
Fraud is a hidden crime. It is always there, underneath the surface of everyday life. Nobody
really knows how much fraud there is until they can add up the losses that have been discovered.
Estimates of fraud that remains undetected can never be accurate.
This is true for benefit fraud, where the number of claimants is so large. Every single one of
the millions of claimants have circumstances that are continually changing. Not all of them will
disclose these changes to the authorities.
A single parent living alone who looks after an invalid child will be entitled to income support
to live on. Housing benefit will be claimed to cover rent and council tax. In addition,
invalidity living and care allowance will be available. If an estranged spouse returns to the
family home for a night, perhaps to visit the child, it is arguable that the lone parent's
circumstances have not changed. No mention of the visit will be made to the authorities.
However, if the spouse stays a bit longer and perhaps contributes something to his living costs,
there is a danger that the circumstances are changing. In stormy relationships, this can result
in an estranged spouse turning up form time to time, expecting somewhere to stay. He or she might
be working, and help out with bills or simply provide presents for the spouse and child.
It is possible that the couple reconciles, and the spouse starts living permanently back at home.
Now the line has been crossed by a long way, and such changes in circumstances should have been
reported. The single parent's circumstances have completely changed and there is another member
of the household who is working to consider.
Many single claimants do not disclose odd visits by an ex spouse, or the occasional sleepover by
a new boyfriend. They fear that even if the change does not impact their entitlement, the delays
in receiving benefit when the authorities consider how a claim might be affected will impact
their ability to pay for day to day essentials.
In the example of the single parent with an invalid child, the entitlement to income support and
probably housing benefit also would end when a new boyfriend came to stay. The invalidity
allowances should continue uninterrupted. However, if the new partner was on a low wage, it is
quite possible that the income support and housing benefit could be replaced, possibly entirely,
by child tax credits and working tax credits.
These benefits are assessed not on an individual but on the household income. Moreover, they are
substantially enhanced in cases where an invalid child is part of the family.
Rather than becoming part of the benefit overpayments resulting from fraud and error, the single
parent (now part of a household) should ensure that her full circumstances are reported to the
authorities promptly. It would help matters if the authorities, such as local councils and the
Department For Works and Pension, provide full details of the different benefits that might apply
in the case of changing circumstances.
If the amount of benefits lost is smaller than anticipated, sometimes nothing is lost, there may
be less incentive for a person to commit fraud and run the risk of criminal sanctions, which
these days will include substantial and harrowing confiscation proceedings following criminal
conviction.

Inheritance Tax
Inheritance Tax
Inheritance Tax is due on many estates in the UK. However, in 2012-2013 the inheritance tax
boundary was raised to £325,000 so most estates are now exempt from paying the tax. The
value of the estate is the value of all property including stocks, shares, gifts and trust funds.
For estates over £325,000 tax is payable at 40% on the amount over the threshold or 36% if
there is a charitable donation made, making the estate a reduced estate.
How Can I Increase May Inheritance Tax Threshold?
Married couples and civil partners are in a position where they can increase their Inheritance
Tax threshold by combining their threshold. This works in that when one partner passes away they
can transfer their unused tax threshold (the nil rate band) over to their partner. This can
increase the total boundary for the remaining partner to £650,000. Whilst a spouse is
living they can gift as many of their assets as they wish to their spouse without being charged
any inheritance tax. This is known as 'spouse or civil partner exemption.' Therefore a partner
can pass over all their assets to their spouse whilst they are living to completely prevent their
0% inheritance tax threshold being used.
The rate can only be transferred on the death of the second partner, this second death must have
occurred on or after October 2007. The full nil rate band may not be transferrable if the first
spouse died before 1975. Whenever the first spouse died this should not affect the ability to
transfer some of the tax threshold.
To make the claim the executor of the Will of the second spouse must firstly work out the
percentage of the threshold you can transfer. 100 per cent of the threshold can be transferred if
the entire estate was left to the surviving spouse as none of the threshold will have been used.
If the deceased made gifts to people during their lifetime, which were subject to inheritance
tax, this will have to be taken away from the threshold before it being transferred. You will
then need to get together the Will and all paperwork from the previous death, then fill in an
IHT217 and an IHT205/C5 if the full threshold can be transferred or an IHT402 if less than 100
per cent of the threshold can be transferred.
Who Is Responsible For Paying Inheritance Tax?
Inheritance tax is generally the responsibility of the executor of the Will and it must be paid
within 6 months of the individual's passing.

Bankruptcy and Debt Relief
Bankruptcy is a state of most consumers who are not very well versed with financial planning and
get caught up with unwanted debts that they can never repay or find it extremely difficult to
repay. It has been marked as a official position of an individual or an organization who is
unable to pay back their debts borrowed from creditors and in the process become insolvents and
lose their credibility in the market for good. In most cases, this is forced upon by a court
decree.
The state of bankruptcy is not similar in all countries. In the United States, bankruptcy refers
to the formal procedures of insolvency. Did you know that the word bankruptcy is derived from the
Italian word banca rotta meaning "broken bench?" It literally means breaking a moneychanger's
bench to prove his insolvency.
The focus of modern law and debt restructuring is not anymore about proving the insolvency of the
debtors and eliminating them from the market, but about remodeling their status of financial
distress so as to give them a chance of improvement and allowing them to continue in the market.
It is important to be assured that such financial conditions do not reoccur.
Bankruptcy in the United States falls under the Federal Jurisdiction by the United States
Constitution. And hence, the laws of bankruptcy are uniform throughout the country. Bankruptcy
cases are filed in the United States Bankruptcy court and are all in majority cases, dependent on
State law which plays a major role in most bankruptcy cases.
Debt Relief:
Debt Relief is the forgiveness of debt in part or in total owed by individuals or organizations.
Personal debt has become one of the biggest concerns for most developed countries. An average US
household is estimated to have about $19000 of non-mortgage debt. When debt loads are this heavy,
individuals find it extremely difficult to repay their debts and are in search of help.
There are many companies which have come up to help with debt consolidation. However, such
services provided may not be favorable for the individual in all cases. It is best to consult a
consumer association for advice before making a decision on the best avenue.
In the current scenario, the most general methods of debt relief are found to be forbearance and
debt restructuring. Under forbearance, the interest payments are compromised as long as the
payments are regular and there is no change in the principal amount.
Whatever the cause maybe, timely action alone can alleviate your discomfort and position you for
a quick recovery at an opportune time. A bankruptcy attorney is best placed to advise, assist and
prevent a foreclosure like situation developing.
Obviously, debt relief that is rescheduling of debt is the first option. Thereafter if necessary;

Financial Planning For Your Old Age
If you are reaching retirement or old age you may want to consider putting into place plans for
your finances. Discussing your options with a financial advisor will probably give you the
quickest overview of eventualities which commonly occur, such as the need for someone to have
power of attorney, or nominating an executor/executor for your will. Having a good relationship
with your financial planner and accountant will make sure you feel relaxed about everything which
has to be considered. Find yourself someone to give you financial advice who you trust, feel
comfortable with and feel has the ability to explain everything to you in full and without
confusion.
Power of Attorney
If you are suffering from a degenerative mental disorder/illness you will need to nominate
someone to have Lasting Power of Attorney should you no longer have the mental capacity to take
care of your finances, property and decisions regarding your care. The legal document you apply
for will grant the bearer the right to make these decisions for you once you are no longer able
to. It must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can be used.
You apply for a Lasting Power of Attorney when you are of full mental capacity to do so. You can
cancel the document should circumstances change. The Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to plan
in advance for your future. It contains a certificate which must be signed which states that you
fully understand the significance of the decision you are making, and there are processes in
place to ensure that you are not being coerced into the decision. If your finances, property or
personal affairs are particularly complicated you may wish to involve a solicitor in the
application process.
Executor for a Will
It is highly advisable to draft a Will whenever you have any dependents, or a spouse. However,
if you have not drafted a Will and you are retiring or are of old age, you should draft one
immediately. A lawyer can help you ensure that everything which is needed to be included in the
Will is in the final draft. When you draft your Will you will be asked to nominate an executor or
executors for your Will. They will ensure that your last wishes are carried out as you desire them
to be and will divide your assets amongst the beneficiaries of the Will as outlined within it. You
should ensure that the nominee is happy to take on the role of executor.
Life Insurance
You may wish to take out life insurance. If you have been paying into a life insurance scheme
for 2 years or more your family will receive a lump sum on your death. Discuss whether or not
this option is the right one for you to make with your financial advisor.

Protecting Your Kids From Divorce Trauma
Whether a divorce is particularly messy or if it is as civil as possible, it will still be painful

children as much as possible.
First of all, it is important to keep your children out of it as much as possible. It can be
easy to try to talk to your children about what is going on because you feel alone, but you need
to find a friend or a counsellor to discuss your divorce issues with. Even if your children are
older, they will still feel as if they are being put in the middle of the situation if you tell
them too many details.
It is also important to let your children know that this separation is not their fault. You
might be surprised to find just how many children do feel this way. Also, make sure that your
children know that both of their parents still love them and that they are not being abandoned by
the spouse that is leaving.
Arguing over the kids will only make the situation worse. Some partners try to use their
children as a way to punish their spouse, but this is the wrong thing to do. Arguing over custody
and child support can really hurt your children, and it will make them feel as if all of the
fighting is their fault. You have to be as civil as you can possibly be, and bring a mediator or
family attorney into the mix if you need guidance. Remember that taking your children away from
one parent can be very hurtful to them and can have negative effects on them later in life, so
encourage them to spend time with both parents to keep them as happy and healthy as possible.
Lastly, try to keep their life as normal as possible. Divorces often result in moves, the
changing of school districts and other changes, and a child might feel a loss of safety, security
and normality. Do as much as you can to keep your child's life as stable as possible during this
time.
Although divorces are very painful and traumatic for the entire family, you can make things go
much more smoothly if you make the effort. Not only will your children be able to transition to
their new life much more easily if you take these steps, but you will also find healing to be
easier for yourself.
