Hour 2 Seg 3 - “Legal Eagle” Segment

- LISTEN TO THE COMPLETE SHOW FOR HI-LIGHTS/DETAILS OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW.

LAW OFFICES OF ROBERT L. FIRTH w/ Robert Firth re: 68910 Adelina Road, Cathedral City, CA. 92234.

- QUESTIONS from Joey Pals.

1. Explain CA. raising the limit for probate to $750,000.? (Yes, this just for personal residence. You have to get the property appraised, simple paperwork and one hearing in front of the judge. BUT the rest of your assets are added into the total figure as well, so most folks w/ that nice a home ALSO have lots of assets and the bottom line GOES UP.)

2. What happens under Prop., 19 if you die, your children or grandchildren inherit your home and intend to live in it for at least 3 years, that’s OK, but if they intend to use it as a vacation rental/home/home-share, it will get re-evaluated and taxed accordingly.)

- DEFINITION` of a conservatism.

- FOCUS OF ROBERT’S PRACTICE.

1. Personal bankruptcy. There are lots of chapters in personal bankruptcies. Either Chapter 7 where you get all your debts discharged as long as you get rid of all the secured items. Mortgages also. You CANNOT discharge student loans, judgements against you from a DUI, or a tort, or your last 3 years of income taxes. Or Chapter #13 where if you make more than the median income in CA ($70,000/yr for a single person) you MUST do a 13. Chapter 13 has a payment plan.

2. BK will be on your FICA for 10 years.

- REPORT that when you file a Chapter 7 Robert can get you a 700-credit score in a year if you do what he says.
