    OT- Office politics

    Part II Nonplussed, the Boss set up an appointment for the following Wednesday at 3pm. Penny confirmed this appointment, via email. Well, Wednesday 3pm comes, Wednesday 3pm goes, and Penny doesn’t show. Strike Two. So I think to myself that this is the end of the story. Trust me, every time...

Trust me, it's worth reading: Part I A number of years ago, the Boss was looking for a part time person to help out around the office. The office was somewhat busy and we needed someone to help make copies, scan and do some...

    OT: Rutgers engineering student looking for internship

    Scarlet Dave, If you like working with your hands, you should consider some non-traditional routes. I was talking to someone the other day who's a plumber (but an engineer by training) and doing very well. He's the kind of plumber who hasn't touched a toilet in over a decade (does radiant...

    OT: New Jersey Estate taxes

    Ole Cabbagehead - the rule about jointly held assets being 1/2 included is only for a spouse. If it is anyone else, they are 100% included unless the survivor can prove he/she put in the money. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/2040

    OT: New Jersey Estate taxes

    In response to the OP's 4th question: "4. Bonds can be cashed by the children even if the jointly owned by parent and child and not consider this estate assets.

    OT: New Jersey Estate taxes

    If anyone has any questions, this is what I do for a living. There are so many different issues in this thread, it is impossible to respond to all, but let me take a moment to respond to the OP (I'll post separate answers to each question): 1) As others have said, NJ has both an state estate...

    OT: One Line Jokes

    Did you hear that the police recently caught a man who was trying to illegally sell 5000 pills of Viagra? He tried to swallow the evidence - now he's serving 20 years hard time!

    Game Notes from Washington State

    Ecojew - I can understand the sentiment, but what you are suggesting would be a clear violation of Antitrust law. If I recall correctly, the NCAA has already lost a case similar to this.

    OT: Need advice on making out a will

    My pleasure. FYI, when looking for a good estate planning attorney, try to use one that focuses on this type of work. It's really hard to stay up on this unless you do it all the time. Also, it really takes us about 3-5 years before we become decent at drafting your documents and coordinating...
