History of first use of allcomputerized typesetting 3301

It may have been $20K..I don't remember now.

The rate is based on a percentage of the value of the estate. JMF took advantage of the extra life insurance provided by DEC (it was n times salary). That caused the estate value to trigger all estate tax thresholds. In this state, when somebody dies, the state attaches a lien to all real estate until the final signature of probate is written. Five f***ing years worth of kicking the state tax idiots to get off their butt and fill out paperwork. Yes, 25K sounds like a lot but it was worth it. I'd still be paying the estate's income taxes if he hadn't earned his money; and those rates are 45%+. For two years the state kept insisting that another evaulation of the buttets had to be done which is against the law. They are supposed to base all taxes on the value at time of rest rather than time of last contact of the estate for a status check. I estimate that he kept about $50K out of the hands of the state.

Before this lawyer, JMF's lawyer would done the same thing. I read his mind and got Jim to find another lawyer who did do his job.

I knew that :-))). I watched Rumpole.
