Can You Do a 1031 Property Swap for Your New Nordhavn (or other boat)?
Posted by Keith on May 31, 2007 at 7:30 am | Leave a Comment
Keith,
I would like to buy a Nordhavn and cruise inland up the Alaska coast.
I would also try to charter the ship to help with taxes, etc. I have real estate — vacant land — and wonder if I could do a tax-free 1031 exchange — the land for the boat. I would use the boat as my primary residence, and would also charter it.
I enjoy reading of your adventures and financial information. Thanks for your help.
Mike

Keith,
For medical reason I had to have my father’s house deeded over to me. I have talked to two accountants who have told me 1) I have my father’s tax base and 2) I have a new tax base. What say you mate.

How do you take a vacation from a perpetual vacation?
You fly from Majuro, The Marshall Islands, swing through Phoenix to pick up your family and head to Chagrin Falls, Ohio, for a high school and family reunion.
I’ll be back on the ship — in Pohnpei, Micronesia — June 2 their time, June 1 stateside.
We’ll broadcast the radio show live from Chagrin Falls this Sunday!

About Midway between Hawaii and Australia
Author’s Note: There is no sense pretending there are investment opportunities here. There aren’t. The Marshall Islands are poor, heavily dependent on U.S. support, and have little in the way of natural resources or land. So in the article below I elect to enjoy the place for what it is. I hope you will too.
Correction (May 19, 2007) Please note that previous references to the “Japanese fishing fleet” have been corrected to reflect the fact that the tuna fishing fleet in Majuro’s lagoon is owned and operated by Koo Fishing Company, of Taiwan.

Revocable Living Trusts: The Role of Trustees and Lawyers
Posted by Keith on May 11, 2007 at 6:53 pm | Leave a Comment
Keith,
If someone with a revocable living trust dies, is it the attorney’s job to identify all the assets, or is that the job of the trustee?
Are beneficiaries of the estate always supposed to be notified in writing, and if so whose job is that - the trustee’s or the attorney’s?
