The late-developing storm began with a drastic drop in temperature into the mid-30s by midday Wednesday, followed with a slushy mix of sleet, rain and snow up until about 1:00 a.m. Thursday. The thermometer went well below freezing into the high 20s after midnight, and heavy snow fell from about 1:00 to 5:00 a.m., dumping up to four inches of snow in The Advocate readership area of Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus. This was the largest snowfall in one day in the entire 2022-2023 winter to date, in what has been a relatively mild season. Just two days earlier on Presidents’ Day, Monday, Boston set a new February 20 high temperature record of 63 degrees.

The host, along with Voss, noted that the corrupt Everett Leader Herald publisher Joshua Resnek had crossed every line of journalistic integrity and legality while publishing horrifi c stories and editorials about Mayor Carlo DeMaria described by Rea as “fake news”. Voss, who said she knew of Resnek as a contributor at one of her fi rst newspaper jobs at The Improper Bostonian, agreed with Rea that she never saw a case as blatant as this – where Resnek knowingly printed lies and mistruths in order to justify the means of destroying the mayor’s chance at reelection in 2021. “If this was a prize fi ght it would be a TKO,” stated the host, when referring to the mayor’s defamation lawsuit against Resnek and Philbin. The story, which began in the Everett Advocate when the lawsuit began in 2021 beginning with Resnek’s depositions where he admits to printing lies and fabricating interviews and notes, has taken a life of its own both regionally and nationally, when the NY Post published their story on the lawsuit last week. During last night’s radio interview with the Boston Magazine scribe, callers from Everett off ered their point of view, with callers agreeing that Resnek and Philbin were out to destroy the mayor and his family, calling their actions “despicable” to “criminal” as they published “lie after lie” for years without any regard to the mayor’s family and reputation. Voss also pointed out Resnek’s attempt to wave aside the lawsuit, stating that the newspaper has insurance. But given that the insurance company is seeking dismissal of the newspaper’s $1 million libel and slander policy from the court over Resnek’s admission to writing lies about the mayor, the city solicitor, asst. city solicitor and chief fi nancial offi cer, one has to wonder how Resnek’s arrogance is faring now. One caller from Everett asked “how anyone could possibly read that disgraceful rag now?” Great question. “It’s time to lock the doors,” said another caller. Voss stated that Philbin has been personally funding the newspaper for years, and that the paper has been bleeding funds for quite some time. “The clock is ticking” on the newspaper. The last caller pretty much summed up what we’ve known all along when he thanked the writer for the article and for “exposing Resnek for the fraud that he is.” We couldn’t agree more. - JDM www.eight10barandgrille.com OPEN DAILY FOR DINNER AT 4 PM.

On or about Sept. 27, 2022, Alcy’s lawyer responded with a written response to the Subpeona and on Sept. 29, 2022 served an Opposition to the Motion to Compel objecting to the Subpeona and stating that she complied with the request for documents and that the “plaintiff’s request for documents were “overly broad and not intended to illicit (sic) relevant evidence, but to harass and punish Guerline Alcy for giving an interview to a local newspaper, [and] . . . to punish Guerline Alcy for exercising her right of free speech guaranteed by the fi rst Amendment to the US Constitution.” Ms. Alcy’s deposition was conducted by the plaintiff on September 30, 2022.” Alcy was interviewed by corrupt Everett Leader Herald publisher/reporter Joshua Resnek for his August 2020 story in which she claimed Mayor Carlo DeMaria sexually sociations and programs with important City initiatives that provide a direct benefi t to Everett residents. “This has been and continues to be a great opportunity for organizations to receive additional funding,” said Mayor DeMaria. “The Everett Citizens Foundation seeks to assist organizations that have a positive impact on the residents of Everett.

During her Sept. 30, 2022 deposition at Mayor DeMaria’s lawyers’ offices without the documents and communications, such as emails and cell phone texts between herself and Resnek, Alcy, when shown her email address, reacted evasively to its ownership, answering repeatedly, “That’s one of the emails.” Alcy resigned from her position in the city’s Constituent Services/311 department after being removed from her secretarial position in the Mayor’s Offi ce following, in her nine years of employment with the city, repeated reprimands for insubordination and bizarre behavior to her supervisor and residents. In one example of her odd behavior during the deposition, Alcy stated that she was upset when she was dismissed from her job in the Mayor’s Offi ce, away from the person that – she claims in an August 2022 Leader Herald newspaper article – sexually harassed her. When asked to name dates of when the principal incidents of harassment occurred, Alcy couldn’t even recall even the year that the event supposedly occured. When she was asked if she ever sent any communications to anyone about the alleged harassment, she stated she did not. “Do you have any text, ma’am, that you ever sent to anybody asserting that Mr. DeMaria harassed you in any way? Yes or no?” asked Robbins. “Text? Not that I can remember,” replied Alcy. “Do you have any e-mail of any kind that you ever sent to anybody asserting that Carlo DeMaria ever harassed you?” asked Robbins. “Not an e-mail,” she replied. “Do you have any writing of any kind that you submitted to anybody asserting that Carlo DeMaria harassed you? continued the attorney. “Yes,” she replied, stating that it was the Leader Herald article writall organizations in the community to apply.” Any nonprofi t organization in the community can apply.

Alcy stated that she only spoke to people about the incidents but never wrote anything, or communicated in writing to anyone, including the city’s Human Resources Department or the City Solicitor’s Offi ce, in all of her nine years employed by the city. Throughout her testimony, Alcy continued to evade questioning by claiming to not understand the questions or not off ering any clear answers to the attorney’s questions. When asked about her claim of the mayor exposing himself to her, she again stated that she couldn’t even remember the year. With respect to her response to the subpoena to provide all documents and communications with Resnek relating to DeMaria, she only provided a draft document of the article written by Resnek about her allegations. She was confronted with an August 16, 2021, email in which Resnek suggests to her to say that she was shut out of any advancement because it was “all about being a woman, and a Black woman in a city hall run by a racist, misogynist mayor.” “If you can’t or won’t say this for the record – I will because it is the truth,” demands Resnek in the email. Resnek then asks her to get some quotes from her cousin, Councillor Gerly Adrian, because, according to Resnek, “who knows better than her about the mayor’s racism…and others on the city council.” Alcy would then email Resnek to suggest writing in his story that she (Alcy) “might have other reasons she is not ready to reveal yet as to why she was passed over for several promotions since Carlo does not like when people say no to him.” The response by Mayor DeMaria’s lawyers’ motion to compel Alcy to hand over documents she appeared to be withholding, the DiscovRESNEK | SEE PAGE 18 ׉ 7cassandra://KeLUcyvADYShza8WoDM9IGmj0_015DQgpmQs3jEyF1c+F`̰c*j!>׉E ]THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, FEbRuARy 24, 2023 Page 5 Housing Families Legislative Breakfast April 13 at Anthony’s T he Housing Families Legislative Breakfast is an opportunity for community members to learn about how the aff ordable housing shortage in our region impacts community health.

La Colaborativa distributes emergency food to roughly 5,000 families each week from Chelsea and surrounding communities. “Our organization has been at the forefront of the challenges our families face pre- and post-pandemic. At the top of the list of needs is food insecurity, which comes to no surprise as most of our community members serve our state as essential workers and were drastically impacted economically,” said La Colaborativa Executive Director Gladys Vega. “We see hundreds of families form our food lines for hours on a weekly basis and it’s only getting worse.” “Many of our residents in Chelsea have to deal with a myriad of issues when they arrive,” said State Representative Judith Garcia. “The legislation filed will help them meet some of their core living expenses.” Over 25 years ago, the 1996 Welfare Reform Law slashed core food and cash assistance benefits to thousands of legally present immigrants across the nation – including victims of violence, “Dreamers,” immigrants with pending asylum, and immigrants with Temporary Protected Status. The bulk of immigrants are working low-wage jobs, and are unable to meet the basic food needs of their families. In 1997 the Massachusetts Legislature authorized basic cash and food assistance for needy immigrants, but the benefits ended in 2002. Six states in the nation currently provide state-funded benefits to eligible immigrants, including California, Connecticut, Maine, Minnesota and Washington State. The Feeding Our Neighbors campaign comes at a critical time. During the summer of 2022, more than 2,000 individuals arrived in Massachusetts, double the number who arrived a year earlier. That trend is expected to continue as numerous global economic challenges and political conflicts force more people to flee their home countries. The legislation will provide a framework for critical basic needs to help these individuals acclimate to their new surroundings and provide supplemental nutrition benefits to their low-wage earnings as well as help other immigrant families who are continuing to struggle economically since the onset of Covid.

This topic is all over the national news after President Joe Biden used his State of the Union address to speak about the monumental benefits of the federal Child Tax Credit and the need to reinstate it across the country. DiDomenico is leading the charge to reestablish a similar kind of family tax credit in Massachusetts with his bill so we can provide more financial support to families throughout the Commonwealth. DiDomenico’s CFTC bill would benefit children by simplifying the family tax credit process and increasing benefits for families that need support. This legislation would combine the existing Household Dependent Tax Credit and Dependent Care Tax Credit into a single credit (a CFTC), increasing the value to at least $600 per dependent child. “I agree wholeheartedly with the President that we need to bring this tax credit back and I am proud to sponsor legislation that would establish a similar child and family tax credit in Massachusetts,” said Senator DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “Low-income parents and children were some of the hardest hit individuals during the pandemic, and we saw how much the federal tax credit helped to slash child poverty and improve our residents’ lives. We must do everything we can to bring this program back to our state and across the country.” The 2021 federal tax credit sent a monthly check to parents with young children that provided them with an economic cushion and helped cut the child poverty rate by nearly half in 2021. “Extend the child tax credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty,” said President Biden during his State of the Union Address to Congress.

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. ALLOW 30 MINUTES BEFORE CONSIDERING NEW ITEMS (S 17) Senate 5-33, rejected a Senate rules amendment that would require a 30-minute recess before considering new items on the Senate agenda calendar. Current rules require a recess but do not specify the minimum length of the recess “This amendment would have ensured at least 30 minutes of time for the consideration of new matters pending before the Senate,” said Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham), one of only two Democrats to vote for the amendment. “Especially considering the magnitude of some of the legislation that comes to the fl oor, 30 minutes seemed like a reasonable amount of time to review the content.” “I respect the intent of the … amendment to ensure sufficient time to contemplate these issues coming before us,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “But [I] would suggest that we don’t need a full 30 minutes to do so in every case.” (A “Yes” vote is for the 30-minute recess. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No ELIMINATE REMOTE VOTING (S 17) Senate 3-35, rejected a Senate rules amendment that would strike the rule that allows a senator to participate remotely, from their home, offi ce or other location. In a Senate session. The rule was fi rst instituted during the pandemic. Amendment supporters said it is time to abolish remote voting and require senators to show up in person for Senate sessions. They argued that the remote voting system was reasonable and useful during the COVID epidemic but noted that remote voting ends up in senators not being able to talk and communicte with each other during the Senate sessions. Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Suttin), the sponsor of the amenmdent, did not responnd to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him why he filed and supported the amendment. Amendment opponents said that remote voting is a good second option for senators who cannot be in the chamber because of illness, family matters and more. They noted remote voting increases opportunities for senators to vote instead of not being recorded on a roll call because they are not in the chamber. (A “Yes” vote is for striking the rule allowing remote voting and is therefore against remote voting. “A “No” vote is against eliminating the rule and therefore in favor of remote voting.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No ALLOW MINORITY REPORTS (S 18) Senate 3-36, rejected a joint rules amendment that would allow opponents of a bill to issue a minority report on why they oppose a bill being reported out of a committee. Current rules allow senators to indicate that they oppose the bill but only the senators who support the bill are allowed to submit their reasons for supporting it. “Those in the minority of a committee decision should be allowed to offer a published record of why they dissented from the majority,” said Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “The Supreme Court allows the dissenting justices of a decision to off er a recorded opinion and I believe this avenue has helped shape future public policy for the better.” “As we know, members are free to cast their votes in favor or in opposition to a chair’s recommendation and such vote is recorded under the … joint rules,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “The addition of a minority report could actually create some confusion for the public on trying to discern the intentions of the committee. I therefore ask my colleagues to vote no.” (A “Yes” vote is for allowing a minority report. A “No” vote is against allowing it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL New bills fi led for consideration in the 2023-2024 session include: GENDER-NEUTRAL BATHROOMS (SD 316) – Would change the state building code to allow gender-neutral bathrooms in new construction and renovations of buildings. Supporters say that sex-segregated restroom facilities fail to accommodate the needs of every person, posing special diffi culty to transgender and gender nonconforming students. They note that research shows that nearly twothirds of transgender students avoid school bathrooms because they feel unsafe or uncomfortable. “Massachusetts strives to be welcoming to all,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “We were the fi rst state to vote to uphold rights against discrimination for all people. This bill would strengthen those protections in a small but very important way, by reducing daily stress for transgender and gender non-conforming people.” WARNING ON MOBILE PHONES (SD 2327) – Would require all mobile phones sold or leased to disclose, on product packaging, the following notice to consumers: “To assure safety, the Federal Government requires that cell phones meet radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines. If you carry or use your phone in a pocket or the phone is otherBEACON | SEE PAGE 9 ׉ 7cassandra://69GL6CeWGWV-StZfx4gN2yOhlxJlO50lOhqLfBoT3U8+^`̰c*j!>׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, FEbRuARy 24, 2023 Page 9 BEACON | FROM PAGE 8 wise in contact with your body when the phone is on and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to RF radiation. Refer to the instructions in your phone or user manual for information about how to use your phone safely.” “Information and knowledge are key to consumer safety, especially when it comes to children,” says sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “[The bill] would require disclosures on cell phone packaging that inform consumers of the potential risk of radio frequency exposure and advises cell phone users to review instructions to use their phone safely. Health should always be a priority, and as people, especially young people, spend signifi cant time in close proximity to cell phones, this bill seeks to promote awareness around the safe use of cell phones.” FREE DIAPERS (SD 239) – Would create a pilot program to provide free diapers to low-income families at food pantries. “Access to new, clean diapers is necessary to preserve our babies’ health,” says sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “No parent should have to resort to reusing soiled diapers due to an inability to pay or have to undergo further economic hardships to acquire diapers. This legislation puts the well-being of our infants and families where it should be, at the forefront.” PROHIBIT USE OF NATIVE AMERICAN MASCOTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (SD 857) – Would prohibit public schools from using an athletic team name, logo or mascot which names or is associated with Native Americans, or which denigrates any racial, ethnic, gender or religious group. “Passage of this bill is an obligation of justice, a recognition of the common humanity of all and a repair of historic wrong,” says sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “It also addresses the deep psychological harm caused by perpetuating harmful, racist stereotypes—harm caused to both people who are of Native American heritage and those who are not. This bill says that the time has come to say loud and clear to Native Americans who had been on this land for millennia before the Pilgrims landed a mere 400 years ago: ‘You are people, not mascots.’” QUOTABLE QUOTES “We know gun laws save lives. Massachusetts has consistently remained in the lowest three state rankings. As an urban state with the most effective gun safety laws, we treat guns like automobiles including renewable licensing, fi rst in the nation consumer protection regulations for the gun industry and the most comprehensive assault weapon ban. It is no coincidence that once again we have the lowest gun death rate in the nation.” --- John Rosenthal, Founder and Chairman of Stop Handgun Violence on a report that shows that Massachusetts ranked 50th in the nation for gun deaths per capita. “Protecting the environment is a fundamental responsibility of state government and partnering with private businesses like these grant recipients helps us increase and improve recycling across the commonwealth. Our administration is pleased to support these companies as they grow in their local communities and implement innovative methods and practices that allow us all to achieve our common environmental goals.” ---Gov. Maura Healey upon awarding more than $950,000 in grants to six companies under the state’s Recycling and Reuse Business Development Grant program, which will enable Massachusetts recycling companies to expand and grow their operations and increase the amount and quality of recycling in the state. “Adding to employers’ woes is the inability to fully staff their businesses with qualifi ed workers. Beacon Hill must proceed with caution this legislative session to avoid further increasing the cost of doing business in Massachusetts— giving small business owners yet another reason to move jobs to a state with friendlier economic conditions or worse, close their doors for good.” --- National Federation of Independent Business’ Massachusetts state director Christopher Carlozzi. “Regional Home Care engaged in illegal practices at the expense of vulnerable consumers across Massachusetts who depend on this medical equipment for their health and livelihood. As a result of this settlement, thousands of consumers who were harmed by this company’s actions will directly benefi t, and our offi ce will continue to protect consumers from predatory practices and scams.” ---Attorney General Andrea Campbell announcing her offi ce reached a $2.5 million settlement with Regional Home Care, resolving allegations that the company engaged in unfair, deceptive and abusive debt collection practices in violation of state consumer law and debt collection regulations and improperly collected money from members of MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program, for balances not owed or that were already paid for by MassHealth. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the BEACON | SEE PAGE 11 Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

Squirrel Run XXV, Jimmy Kennedy Memorial Run for ALS Q UINCY –The 25th Annual Jimmy Kennedy Memorial Run for ALS, (Squirrel Run XXV), a 5-mile run, 2.5-mile fitness walk and family fun day will be held on Saturday, June 10th at Pageant Field, Merrymount Parkway in Quincy. Proceeds from the Squirrel Run will benefit The Angel Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding ALS research at UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester. Jimmy Kennedy lost his courageous battle with ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, in 1997 at the age of 31. An outstanding football player and track athlete Jimmy graduated from North Quincy High in 1984, the 8th and final member of the Kennedy family to do so. He graduated with high honors from Northeastern, and received his diploma from his dad, Dean of Students Christopher Kennedy (who was also a 25year member of the Quincy School Committee). Jimmy graduated from Georgetown Law School. After passing the bar on his first attempt, he accepted a job with the prestigious Washington law firm Schwald, Donnenfeld and Bray, and settled in suburban Waldorf, MD. Jimmy was diagnosed with ALS soon after, at the age of 28. The Jimmy Kennedy Memorial Run for ALS is a tribute to the life of Squirrel, which each year brings together Jimmy’s friends, family, former teammates and classmates. Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome to participate in the 5-mile run and 2.5-mile walk that begins with registration at 8 a.m. The course is officially sanctioned by USA Track and Field, New England Association.

High school and system leaders face a tough decision: seize the opportunity to make changes that will lead to more equitable outcomes for students or return to the status quo. Barr Foundation, a nonprofit focused on helping all students thrive in and beyond high school, is seeking up to 10 grantees for “Meeting the Moment: Transforming the High School Experience.” High school and system leaders from all over New England are invited to submit a proposal for up to $100,000 to support internal learning and planning, stakeholder engagement, and project management from July 2023–July 2024. “Now is the time to challenge the status quo and move towards a vision of educational excellence that our students deserve,” says Barr Foundation Director of Education Jenny Curtin. “Too often, school and system structures, policies, practices, and belief systems limit access to opportunity and contribute to inequitable outcomes for students of color, low-income students, students learning English, and students with special needs.” Barr is seeking applicants that are ready to embrace this pivotal moment and are open to new possibilities for fundamental change at both the high school and system level. They must also have a signifi cant or fast-growing percentage of high need students, and/or a plan to center the needs of students not currently being served well by the current school model. Grantees will receive financial support and will participate in a community of practice that allows them to develop both a vision of excellence and an implementation strategy to make that vision a reality. The work will have three phases with aligned supports from national experts, at no cost to the grantees: · Learn (Fall 2023) – Deepen collective capacity to understand and respond to the students served; utilize and enhance leadership experiences; and identify how policies, practices, and organizational systems contribute to or prevent students from thriving in our schools. · Dream (Winter 2024) – See what’s possible through interactions with and visits to bright spot schools/districts. · Plan (Spring 2024) – Develop a plan for a transformed high school experience and system customized to the local context. For more information or to apply for the program, visit the website or email EducationRFP@barrfoundation.org. Applications will be open through March 15 at 5 p.m. About the Barr Foundation: The Barr Foundation’s mission is to invest in human, natural, and creative potential, serving as thoughtful stewards and catalysts. Based in Boston, Barr focuses regionally, and selectively engages nationally, working in partnership with nonprofits, foundations, the public sector, and civic and business leaders to elevate the arts, advance solutions for climate change, and connect all students to success in high school and beyond.

New Tax Foundation report shows Mass. has highest top marginal tax rate in New England Seventh highest in the entire country R ecently, the Tax Foundation released a new report comparing all 50 states and their income tax rate. The Tax Foundation report shows that Massachusetts has the highest top marginal tax rate in all of New England and seventh highest in the entire country. This decline in ranking comes after voters narrowly passed Question 1 last November, which added a four percent surcharge on the state’s five percent income tax rate, which triggers on income over a million dollars.

Judges for the fair were recruited from the STEM community in the Boston area, including MIT, MIT Lincoln Labs, New England Biolabs, Omega Pharmaceuticals, BU and Northeastern. Each year the Fair aims to allow students to use the scientific method or engineering design process to investigate a question or problem that interests them outside the general class curriculum. This also serves as a method for students to complete an independent research project as part of the PCSS college readiness program and assists students in developing the necessary skills in verbal and written scientific communication.

We played AAU together when we were growing up, and now it has come full-circle coaching against each other. They have a great program with great coaches.” Kayley Rossi helped keep the game close for a while and ended up pacing the offensive attack for her Everett teammates with 13 points and three assists. Nehemie Lucien was relentless on the boards with eight rebounds and four hard-earned points, according to Dunn. “Her defensive effort was 100% the entire game,” the coach added. ׉ 7cassandra://JFLMGyCOUN8khqUdDYJwK7wsuXIWyOD6aHB2W0uVZ5k/`̰c*j!>׉EvTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, FEbRuARy 24, 2023 Page 17 OBITUARIES John L.

Why Irrevocable Trusts are most often a better choice over Legal Life Estates B y placing your home, rental property or other assets into an irrevocable trust, the five year look back period will begin. Five years later, the assets in the irrevocable Trust will not be countable for MassHealth eligibility purposes. Furthermore, not only is probate avoided upon the Settlor’s death (i.e. the creator of the trust), but probate would also be avoided if a child/beneficiary were to die prior to the Settlor (i.e. parent). The predeceased child’s children or even grandchildren would become a beneficiary of the trust and that child’s beneficial interest in the trust would escape the probate process. If that child leaves minor children behind, the trustee would follow the terms of the trust and pay for items such as medical expenses, educational expenses, house expenses, etc. If, on the other hand, a parLEGAL NOTICE EVERETT PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Hearing on an application by 445-455 Broadway Corp.

As estate planners, we try to avoid the probate process whenever possible for many reasons, such as cost and time delays. This could present a problem many years down the road if no one takes steps to probate the estate of the predeceased child. Furthermore, in a legal life estate situation, the parent would need the consent of the child who has a remainder interest in the property in order to sell the property. With an irrevocable trust, the child has no current ownership interest. The trustee is free to sell the real estate any time without the consent of the child. If the trust is drafted as a grantor-type trust, the capital gain exclusion of $500,000 on the sale of the principal residence will still be afforded to the Settlor of the trust. If it was rental property that was sold, the entire capital gain would still be reported by the Settlor on his or her tax return. The children would not be reporting any of the capital gains transactions on their own tax returns. The trust would actually file a tax return as a grantor-type trust and then issue a grantor letter to the Settlor (also referred to as a Grantor). With a legal life estate, the capital gain on the sale of a home or rental property would have to be allocated to the parent who reserved the life estate and the children who are the remaindermen. The computation for IRS purposes is based on the Book Aleph table and the IRS Section 7520 interest rates. For MassHealth purposes, at least for now, the computation is based upon the Social Security POMS tables. Hopefully, MassHealth will agree to use the IRS tables as the IRS tables are much more favorable to the life tenant if the home were to be sold, for example, as less of the net sales proceeds will be placed back on the table for the life tenant only to be included as a countable asset for MassHealth eligibility purposes. With an irrevocable trust, if the home or rental property is sold and converted to cash, the cash is safe inside the irrevocable trust. There is no risk of the trust assets becoming countable. If the parent decides to serve as trustee and there is a trust provision allowing for use and occupancy of any real estate held in trust, then any real estate abatement offered by the city or town will remain intact. It will not be lost due to placing the home into trust. The trust must be absolutely clear that there can be no principal distributions to the Settlor under any circumstances and that the Trustee must strictly adhere to the terms of the trust and comply with each and every fiduciary duty owed to the remaindermen of the Trust.

Seni id P Dear Savvy Senior, What are the symptoms of thyroid disease? I’ve been dealing with a number of health issues over the past few years, and a friend of mine recently suggested I get my thyroid checked because it might be causing my problems. Almost 66 Dear Almost, If your thyroid is out of whack, it can cause a number of health issues that can be tricky to detect because the symptoms often resemble other age-related health problems. In fact, as many as 30 million Americans have some form of thyroid disorder, but more than half aren’t aware of it. What to Know The thyroid is a small butterfl y-shaped gland located at the base of your neck that has a huge job. It produces hormones (called T3 and T4) that help regulate the rate of many of your body’s activities, from how quickly you burn calories to how fast your heart beats. It also infl uences the function of the brain, liver, kidneys and skin. If the gland is underactive and doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, it causes body systems to slow down. If it’s overactive, and churns out too much thyroid, it has the opposite eff ect, speeding up the body’s processes. The symptoms for an underactive thyroid (also known as hypothyroidism) – the most common thyroid disorder in older adults – will vary but may include fatigue and weakness, unexplained weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation, joint pain, a puff y face, hoarseness, thinning hair, muscle stiff ness, dry skin and depression. Some patients may even develop an enlarged thyroid (goiter) at the base of the neck. However, in older adults, it can cause other symptoms like memory impairment, loss of appetite, weight loss, falls or even incontinence. And the symptoms of an overactive thyroid (or hyperthyroidism) may include a rapid heart rate, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, insomnia, increased appetite, weight loss, tremors of the hand, frequent bowel movements, sweating, as well as an enior bl larged thyroid gland. Too much thyroid can also cause atrial fi brillation, aff ect blood pressure and decrease bone density, which increases the risk of osteoporosis. Those with the greatest risk of developing thyroid disorders are women who have a family history of the disease. Other factors that can trigger thyroid problems include: autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s or Graves disease; thyroid surgery; radiation treatments to the neck or upper chest; and certain medications including interferon alpha and interleukin-2 cancer medications, amiodarone heart medication and lithium for bipolar disorder. Get Tested If you have any of the aforementioned symptoms, or if you’ve had previous thyroid problems or notice a lump in the base of your neck, ask your doctor to check your thyroid levels. The TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) blood test is used to diagnosis thyroid disorders but depending on what they fi nd, additional blood tests may be necessary. If you are diagnosed with a thyroid problem, it’s easily treated. Standard treatment for hypothyroidism involves daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine (Levothroid, Synthroid and others), which is an oral medication that restores adequate hormone levels. And treatments for hyperthyroidism may include an anti-thyroid medication such as methimazole and propylthiouracil, which blocks the production of thyroid hormones. Another option is radioactive iodine, which is taken orally and destroys the overactive thyroid cells and causes the gland to shrink. But this can leave the thyroid unable to produce any hormone and it’s likely that you’ll eventually become hypothyroid and need to start taking thyroid medication.

While there may be challenges such as location and property conditions, there is also one challenge that the homeowner can overcome prior to placing their property for sale. That challenge is clutter. The late comedian George Carlin joked about America’s obsession with “stuff.” We see whole industries based on America’s obsession with “stuff.” Self-storage and junk haulers come to mind. Cluttered properties are less attractive for potential buyers. It can be hard to see past the clutter to visualize the potential and imagine the space as their own. Buyers may also be concerned about the cost of removing and disposing of the clutter and potentially dangerous items. Our advice to property owners who plan to sell soon is to begin de-cluttering at least 3 months before offering the property for sale. Waiting to the last minute can cost you a lot more than the value of the “stuff” you want to save.
