These are the farms. There are two kinds of people here: those who are honest about their autism and those who aren't.

With a sprinkling of ADHD And CDO (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but put in the right an only order) to that mix

I don't think it's very misleading considering that is what the post I quoted showed. I just provided context that it wasn't granted yet.

The case is over as the state has filed a motion to dismiss. They don't intend to pursue the case. To the extent that your post was intended to suggest a possibility that the case was not over and there might actually be a trial where Nick was an expert witness, it was misleading.

For instance, you'll often see people chimping out about some lawyer who went into government work "losing" their license when it was obligatory because they were in a job (like with the judiciary) that you're not allowed to have while actually being a practitioner as well.

Spoiler: OT question because I'm curious

Are people in that sort of job allowed to keep up their CLE hours regardless? It'd be a bit of a pain in the ass if you couldn't leave the goverment job, pay your licence fee and hang out your slate again.

Yes, and I don't think it's actually obligatory to go to inactive status, but a lot of people do it when going into the judiciary (states possibly vary on this).

Zillow and Redfin just listed the old Baldo Bunker as sold on 1/9/25 for a sale price of $380K, far short of the $425K asking price. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/12565-52nd-St-NE-Spicer-MN-56288/106701968_zpid/

I'm sure the neighbors are thrilled that Nick's desperation sale created a new comp that just dramatically lowered everyone else's property values.

The price info suggests by my math he will owe about $7000 in state income tax on the sale. Then I would assume 15% federal captain gains tax which is another $15,000. I'm not sure if there are any breaks at all available with this being a non-residence.

Depending on the costs of beyond the loan price of cleaning up the foreclosure and all the real estate related charges he will end up paying, he is not going to walk away from this with much of anything extra.

If they aren't planning to move soon, they could point to that to get their taxes down. Otherwise, yeah... another WIN for the Nose.

Yeah amazing how he squandered $400k, even if that mostly happened 3 or 4 years ago.

I had a joke about the McCoys in my first draft, lol. I deleted it because I wasn't sure that the non-Americans here (a surprisingly high number, seemingly) would understand the Civil War reference.

When I was a kid, one of our most popular comics (The Dandy? The Beano? Something like that) had a weekly comic strip in which the Hatfields and the McCoys were two families of hillbillies who were continuously at war with each other.

The Hatfields/McCoys were a real family feud in the rural US that lasted generations. Many died.

Mn isn't listed on the mclez site, btw. And NO the last thing he should do is attempt to teach anyone anything, especially anything legally related. "How not to be authorized to practice law," maybe.

yes, i found that surprising too. is it possible some of these are recently retired and their continuing education credits lapse on purpose? not sure about the process when lawyers retire.

It's easily curable in most instances. Retiring lawyers can move to a different status, but they should elect it, in which case they don't show up on these lists.

It's going to affect his credibility on the stand if they wanted to mention that he's a lawyer

He can't testify as a lawyer if he's not authorized to practice.

I bet he wish he didn't pay that $274 now.

He'd just have both as reasons for being not authorized to practice, in that case.

Technically he is still a licensed lawyer, and is still required to make payments. He just can't practice until he becomes in compliance with the rules

Attorney Detail

Yes, authorized or no, he has to pay registration fees yearly, or that's another reason for non-authorization you have to clear up to practice. If he wanted no longer to be able to act as a lawyer, he should elect the appropriate status, not just let it lapse.

But you can't "hold yourself out as a lawyer" if you are not authorized to practice for whatever reason. Can't send communications "as a lawyer" and any communications on letterhead/ implying lawyer must have a disclosure that the person is not authorized to practice in MN/ any state.

The price info suggests by my math he will owe about $7000 in state income tax on the sale. Then I would assume 15% federal captain gains tax which is another $15,000. I'm not sure if there are any breaks at all available with this being a non-residence.

Depending on the costs of beyond the loan price of cleaning up the foreclosure and all the real estate related charges he will end up paying, he is not going to walk away from this with much of anything extra.

Don't forget that he is also accountable for repaying any tax benefits received, plus penalties, interest, and costs (Subd. 13) as a result of improperly classifying a non-homestead property as a homestead property. The difference in property taxes has to be paid if the tax commissioner determines the designation is improper.

Yes, I figured that out as I got older. You'd see a lot of references to them in various popular culture -- books, movies and the like. In fact, the last time I saw an episode of American Pickers, they were at one of the houses of a Hatfield or a McCoy.

I think most non-Americans get that they were some feuding historical figures from a rural background even if they don't know any of the actual details.

The case is over as the state has filed a motion to dismiss. They don't intend to pursue the case. To the extent that your post was intended to suggest a possibility that the case was not over and there might actually be a trial where Nick was an expert witness, it was misleading.

It is likely that your assumption is correct, but they could also dismiss the charges to refile them in a new case, in which they split up the charges into multiple separate ones, like they should have done in the first place.
It is very unlikely, so no Nick expert testimony, but until he judge grants the dismissal and no new case is filed, we do not know for sure.

 

[DiabeticSydePhil]

Won't let me reply, no idea why.

The state won't give a fuck about Nick's homestead/whatever his state calls primary residence credits because he only got it on one property and like a moron he got it on the lower of the two.

States only care if you're double dipping and then they'll slap whatever you were saving back as far as they can onto your bill as an additional charge.

The only time states REALLY care is when you apply for it someplace like Florida with very large credits but are getting it anyplace else. Florida has a whole department dedicated to fucking snowbirds who declare themselves Florida residents without getting rid of their homestead status elsewhere.

The only other possibility is he was intentionally not registering it as a RENTAL, but I don't know if Minnesota cares about that like some states do. Sometimes a secondary property must legally be registered as a rental and it has property tax implications, but it varies per state.

Tl;dr, nobody cares Nick got the credit on the wrong house, since he only got it on one house he legally owned. Getting it on the less beneficial one is retarded on its own.

If the result of all of this was just that he lost a financial investment of nearly $400K, then this would be bad enough.

However, it doesn't seem like Nick is out of the woods yet when it comes to impending costs. If, more likely when, Montegraph wins how much is he going to be paying him - with lawyer fees on top?. His income has dried up, and he has a family to feed, cloth, entertain and at least one child who wants to go to college. That's assuming no future legal troubles, no relapses on fancy whiskey and cocaine. I know he is a trustfund kid, but unless there is a change in circumstances soon its hard to see how things don't get worse from here on out.

Federally there's a tax break on selling your primary residence. You get a tax exemption on the long term capital gains up to $500k if you're married or $250k if you're unmarried. Nick might've kept his primary residence there knowing that he would sell it at some point and the capital gains from that sale would be untaxed.

Ah yeah not a bad idea, that.
