The solution is simple. One free living trust given out every 10 years. Tax credit to do it. For those that don’t the whole estate goes to pay off the national debt. Stopping the fraud-run it by a committee similar to death panels. it’s amazing so many don’t take care of business.
England. Who cares?
I care. Have you ever been betrayed after opening your heart and home to someone, then treated like roadkill for quick material gain? I have. I didn’t lose everything like these two. I simply learned a bitter lesson abt human nature, how predatory we all can be in some circumstances.
Ok then. I’m a step ahead of you.
Ask Colin Kapernick or that fella in “The Blind Side”. I read the book. Fabulous. Doesn’t surprise me-think the tender woman and the snake.

“Atlas Shrugged”. 1100 pages.
Interesting. TWO PEOPLE using northern New England were poisoned with fentanyl mail. It was mentioned then disappeared from news. The package was a FedEx mailer.
Have not heard anything more.
England. Who cares?

1. They would be giving away assets that they may need during the remainder of life (depending on wealth);
2. There would be no tax credit or deduction if given to a trust for the benefit of anyone other than a recognized charity, whether transferred during life or at death. If given to charitable trust during life, they would get a charitable deduction (not a tax credit) for purposes of gift tax computation. If given to a charitable trust at death, the estate would get a charitable deduction (not a tax credit) against estate taxes. Currently a husband and wife can give away about $23m before even having to worry about gift or estate taxes.
3. Many parents love their kids and want to leave them something when they die. This case did not involve evil kids.
That old saying: “Love fly’s out the window when money walks through the door’’.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls....
IOW, no good deed ever goes unpunished.
