Surprise! Forgiveness of a Debt is Taxable Income
Posted on August 21, 2007Category: Tax Law and PlanningA recent New York Time article "After Foreclosure, a Big Tax Bill From the I.R.S." highlights a not well publicized fact of income tax law - discharge or forgiveness of debt is income to the taxpayer. A simple fact pattern - You have a house with a mortgage of $100,000...
Aging at Home - A Community Bands together to buck Institutional Care

Posted on July 30, 2007In an odd bit of news re elder care, a cat that offers comfort to nursing home patients in their final hours.

A Practical Approach to a Power of Attorney
Posted on July 11, 2007I always tell clients that just having a General Durable Power of Attorney is not enough - you need to have a broad and flexible General Durable Power of Attorney that will aid your attorney in fact, not hinder them.
