He may be an accessory or a conspirator, but the principal offender will be
whoever files for IHT clearance by means of a false statement which omits
the value to the estate of the repayment owed and due from the nephew.

They do need to use the criminal prosecution to do what was being discussed, FINE that individual.

And that wouldnt necessarily involve the nephew, just those who avoided inheritance tax.

And that clearly wont be the nephew.

happens all the time- there are so many "legal" ways to avoid paying
taxes for those who earn the big bucks, that the middle class strike up
schemes similiar to, while yet not fully achieving, the legal
requirements to qualify as a shelter, loophole, or deduction.

What you are missing is that we don't believe the guy's story as posted and
are looking (well some of us are) for some way to make it sensible whilst
discussing some legal stuff in between.

You are right:

1) Loaning the money after death will be ineffective for IHT purposes and it
will require a fraudulent declaration for there to be any effect (and as I
posted earlier, a fraudulent declaration could have been made without the
nephew's involvement).
2) A solicitor is unlikely to get involved in such a declaration.

So either the facts are wrong, or we have a troll. But this doesn't mean
that there aren't some genuine legal/financial issues to discuss.
Unfortunately, some people are discussing them on the assumption that we
believe the original story.

Pitch it man recycle it and get a real wok....no sense in worrying if
you are eating toxic food all the time.

More advice: learn to cook - stop buying teflon or any non-stick
cookware. Get a gas stove and get some steel cookware....with huge
riveted handles, and airtight lids, EVERYTHING will look and taste
better.

The reason why automated checkouts go away is that the store does not
do the volume of business needed to support them.

They cost more than the flesh and blood kind.

I just say I am from out of state. I am just buying an item and my

also buy what I really need and very rarely if ever make returns.

Many times we have assisted parties involved in Divorce & Custody
Battles involving children from their marriage. Private Investigations
such as Surveillance Investigation can identify situations as follows:
Examples:
1. Transient (moves from location to location frequently) which does
not afford stability for the minor children
2. Excessive Alcohol use and/or drug use!
3. Emotional or Physical abuse of the children while in his or her
custody
4. Background issues such as criminal history, sex crimes, drug use
etc.
5. Minor children left unattended or alone for periods of time without
adult supervision
6. Children not attending school on a regular basis
7. Other parties exposed to the children use drugs, drink too much,
have criminal history and should avoid contact with the children
These are just some of the issues that need to be addressed to assist
the parent who is seeking full custody or primary custody of the
children.
