Since you and your family believe there may be a discrepancy as to the actual cause of your brother's death, I suggest you request a formal inquest, to have the matter of the death, the autopsy, and other procedures closely examined in a case of law, before you pursue any further actions.  You should be aware that in most cases like this, the inquest is performed by a coroner or other qualified official, and a jury.  Perhaps (since you've already heard the testimony of one coroner) you could find a good pathologist or a coroner from a different agency to assist you with this matter.  \n\nIf you have not already obtained legal representation in this matter, perhaps now would be the time to do so.  If, for whatever reasons, you prefer not to get an attorney at this time, I advise you to at least have a consultation with one in your area, to find out about how to properly handle this situation, and get the inquest underway.  \n\nSorry to hear of your loss.

The Executor or personal representative of the estate of the deceased person is required to file the final income tax return (and can collect any refund due).\n\nIf there is no estate probated, the surviving spouse may file the return.\n\nAny refund due can be claimed with Form 1310

If the sell of the home is in the same year of your dad's passing, then up to $500,000 of the gain from the sell would be excluded from your mom's gross income.  If it is the year after, then the exclusion will be up to $250,000 of the gain.\n\nIf the house was part of community property, then one-half of the home would get a step-up in basis to the Fair Market Value of the home on the date of your dad's passing.  So, you might not have that much gain, leaving you well below the exclusion limit.\n\nHope this helps, and I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

It depends.  If you are selling items that you purchased with earnings you have already paid taxes on and you are not selling them for more than what you purcahsed them for, then no, you do not have to pay taxes on the money you have reaped from Ebay.  If you have sold these same items for more than you paid for them, in other words, you have actually gained $3,000 over and above what you paid for these items, then yes, you have to report that income and pay the appropriate income tax.

The UK typically follows a "per stirpes" distribution for inestate deaths. First off, if your brother had any children or if his parents were alive, they would inherit the estate.  Failing that, then his siblings would be next in line.  However, if his siblings predeceased him and left issue of their own (i.e. children) then the children would take the place of their deceased parent.  In your case, your brother's estate would be split into 4 parts with each sibling's family getting a quarter.  The two living siblings would get 25% apiece and the children of the deceased siblings would split their respective parents' 25%.  If for example one deceased sibling had three children, then those 3 children would split 25% of your brother's estate.  But, there are some jurisdictions that have modified intestate succession in some ways and its best to consult a local lawyer.  For example another form of per stirpial distribution would take the 50% that would go to the predeceased siblings and divide that amount among all the children of those two siblings.  Therefore if one predeceased sibling only had one cild then under the previous example, that child would receive the full 25% that would've went to his/her parent.  UNder this modified per stirpial distribution, that child would instead split 50% of your brother's estate with the children of the other deceased sibling.  So if that sibling had 4 children, then the 5 of them would split 50% or receive 10% apiece.  So it could make a big difference.  I can't say for sure what the current state of the law is in the UK, but the two scenarios I've described are the standard standard per stirpial distribution that has evolved from the Enlgish Common Law and is the practice in the majority of jurisdictions in the United States.  The only other possbility is whgat's called a per capita distribution which simply means only the surviving siblings get anything.  They would split the estate and the children of deceased siblings get nothing. This is disfavored in the UNited STates and only occures when specifically stated in a will.  Again, I don't believe this is the state of the law in the UK, but you should seek local legal advise to make sure.

Not Exactly, you can file separate or you can file joint but you will need to file a form called injured spouse form. That lets IRS know that you were not responsible for his past and (if he owes back taxes) they can only take the portion of the return that is his percentage! I had to do this for five years, because I had back taxes from previous marriage! You have to mail it in and your return will take about 4 months to be processed!! Its a pain but you are not responsible and should not be penalized for something you had no control over!! Hope this helps! Good Luck!\n\nP.S. You can do the form yourself, but its very hard to understand. Places like H&R Block (not a plug,don't work fot them!) can do it easily, but for a fee. There are programs you can use that can probably do it, but I haven't tried them.

If you mean as an exemption on income taxes, it would depend on whether or not he supported you or not.  Are you a minor?  Are your parents divorced?  Did he contribute more than 50% toward your care?  There are a lot of factors to consider.  If you KNOW you have the legal right to claim yourself then just do it and he'll be the one who would have to refute it in case of an audit.

I used to be a bill collector.  Although you can't be held responsible for accounts your name weren't on, they can still try and collect from you.  If they do, send them a copy of the death certificate along with a "Notice to Quit" stating that your name was not on the account, you're not paying it and you don't want them to contact you again.  Make sure it's sent certified or with delievery confirmation and keep a copy.

I would imagine that this information would not be publicly available for privacy reasons.  While some people might choose to self-disclose (such as politicians or members of a board of directors), on the whole, there is no obligation to report income involuntarily.

Do not stress because if your properties go to your husband they are spouse exempt for inheritance tax. So no tax to pay.\nAlso any gains on them for captial gains tax are also wiped out on your death.\n\nPlease get a will do not leave this the administration of estates act 1925.\n\nYou may worth getting advice about how to efficiently tax plan on your husbands if he dies first, spending money now will give you the peace of mind that if something should happen to you or your husband there would be the bare minimum liability to tax.\n\nYour husband may have to pay income tax on any rental income received so be wise this aspect aswell.

Yep!  My sister had it done to her ex.  He never paid for their now 13 year old son.  They took back support, current support out of his disability checks, and also gave her his entire income tax refund for the year.
