My grandmother (Dad's mom) recently passed away. My dad died 10 years ago so my sister and I "get" to settle her estate. We're meeting with the lawyer next week, but is there anything in particular I should ask about? Stuff that gets easily missed? My grandma left us a house in a trust, (filled with stuff - I guess there's services that manage estate sales and stuff, right?), a car (with a note still on it), and a couple insurance policies. Should be fairly straight forward, especially with the lawyer's help, but I don't want to miss something obvious that my sister and I need to do. Is there a thread for this type of thing? I didn't really see one that seemed appropriate.

It's like getting sketchy looking third party links in an unsolicited email that link to your mandatory corporate cyber security/anti-phishing training. Like, c'mon people.

Just find a dealer and use cash, man.

I had some on auto roll at Fidelity and the debt ceiling fuckery cancelled it, so I just put my money in SGOV instead

I went to urgent care once with chest pain. They hooked me up to an EKG and I was fine. Ended up going to ER later that night because it felt like there was a piece of rebar going through my chest. Turns out it was just a real bad cold.

Sock The Great posted:So my father passed away recently and we are trying to figure out what to do with his vehicle. Ultimately we need an SUV with a third row so we can fit my mother, wife and our 2 kids in one vehicle. What would be the most legal/tax advantaged way to handle this? Far and away the easiest thing is for your mother to be a part of the transaction rather than insert yourself as a middle man, giving money to the state for no reason through taxes. And you can't just buy the car for $1 dollar, your state will probably have a tax table based on the age/model/class of the vehicle.

DNK posted:You don’t need a sale transaction at all. You just need to transfer the title. Transferring the title can be done at whatever local DMV your county has and will cost some money. If the title was in your fathers name and now he’s dead, you may need a death certificate and the asset’s new owner (likely your mom?) to participate in the transaction. When my grandmother died the state basically forced me to effectively buy the car from the estate (me and my sis) and had to pay sales tax on that transaction.

Yeah, I got screwed because the car wasn't specifically listed in her will or something like that. DMV lady said if my dad was still alive it wouldn't have been an issue.
