My and my fi have ours like this\nJoint Checking- bills\nJoint Saving- for our wedding and house repairs.\nHe has another checking\nand I have another saving account.\nBoth of us put 75-85% of what we make in the joint account.\n\nI don't think it really matters if it's a checking or saving but you should have a little money put aside for you.  \nI had friends who just went to see a $ planner and he told them the same thing.  It helps you save and spend wisely plus gives you a little Independence.

Probably not, unless you get a personal loan from a family member or friend

You can hold just about any type of property, including real estate, cars, stocks, and bank accounts, in joint tenancy with someone else. You can even hold property that doesn’t have documents of title in joint tenancy, as long as you show intent to do so and state law allows it.\n\nIf she wanted her son to be able to make deposits on her behalf, she could have added his name as a joint tenant of her bank account. Note that as a joint tenant, the son can make withdrawals and he automatically keeps the money in the account when she died -- even if the will states that all assets are to be distributed equally among the children. \n\nSince the organization was dissolved prior to her death, the funds revert to the the person who opened the CD.  If the Joint Tenancy was with a person/beneficiary, other than the dissolved organization, that person is entitled to the proceeds of the CD.  Otherwise, the CD belongs to her estate.

You have many options to combine finances.  Of all of these I would advise you to each start a separate trust with all of your worldly assets.  You can name your partner as the benefactor or the trust and vice versa.  I would not advise putting multiple names on loans, leases or credit cards.  If for some reason these things go sour the liability would be greater.  I would advise anyone (married or not) to keep credit cards with only one name.  This debit is forgiven with a death certificate in most states.  By creating a trust account (and making 1 person sole benefactor) you are showing that you are committed to your partner and that you're pennywise!

If you have a joint account with your spouse, you are obligated to pay the remaining debt. So you would have to use the life insurance money to pay it. To answer your question, no one has access to the life insurance money except for the named beneficiary in the policy.

It depends on how cooperative the bank in Bermuda is.  If they value your business and won't disclose the details, then the money is not taxed.  This is technically illegal and people might get to wondering how you got that 100k and you might get an investigation later on, but lots of Americans illegally make offshore accounts.  Are you (or whoever it is) feeling lucky? :)

I know here in Canada anyway we went from a corporate to an incorporate company, it leaves us with alot less liability to the company. We are shareholders now instead of proprietors. \nIf our company goes belly -up we will not lose our house vehicles and money and such.\nOur personal is completely separate from the company.

If they have entered into buying a property together, then they have to sell it and divide or buy out who ever is leaving.\n\nCommonly there is argument over the shares, the court will use constructive law principles to sort it out. \nIf they have not done any joint transactions, then they no owe to liability to each other. \n\nTwo people living together generally has no meaning, but the law will construct trusts to solve property disputes.\nThey can try to reach an agreement about who gets joint movable property ie possessions, if they can't they may resort to getting lawyers. This would be counter productive as the costs are prohibitve for trivial dispute.

In general in the US, a non-lawyer cannot own a law firm.  It violates professional rules of ethics prohibiting the splitting or sharing of legal fees with someone who is a non-lawyer.  Check WA laws to be certain.

It is dependent if you incorporate or not. I know many who do not and just use their social security number.

That's joint tenantcy.  What is your question?\n\nJoint tenantcy avoids probate under normal circumstances. When one of the joint tenants dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner.  (Or for three, it becomes a 50/50 tenantcy, etc.)  It does not have to be real estate, either.  Bank accounts which are labeled "joint accounts" are governed by the same rules.  Thus, if you have been sharing a checking account with someone who dies, you just go right on writing checks against it, cool as you please.  I had that happen to me, but I decided to open a new account anyway, as I was not able to find Steve's store of extra checks, and was afraid they might be in the wrong hands.  In an excess of caution, I opened a new account in my own name, then transferred all the money in the joint account to it once all checks had cleared.\n\nDoes that answer the question you did not state?

No a spouse can not be a dependant on the tx return.\nEither you have to file together or separately.

Possibly yes. It's a good idea to keep separate bank accounts - that way you will be able to always show that you have good credit. And if you buy something jointly you will probably automatically become responsible for it, especially as she already owes money elsewhere. :-/

There are some possibilities that would allow them to do this. \n\nIf the account from which the money was taken was in your control, then yes.  That means if YOU had the right to take the money out without consulting them, then it was as much your money as it would have been without them on the account.  \n\nYou have to distinguish between the checks and the account. As checks, they were probably the sole property of the individual, but if they were placed into an account that had your name on it, it became yours. \n\nI doubt they would have taken it otherwise.

seperate banking accounts... if it's your name she can't take it from you or withdraw money.  No need to be secret about it.  Marriage should be based on trust.

No, the money taken is considered co-pay, not unreimbursed or uninsured payments.  Simpliest way would be for your ex to send you a check for $100 at the beginning of the year, marked "For unreimbursed medical Expenses."
