Marvel's princess becomes king

Chapter 177 Difficulties

With a vast land and sparse population, Texas has a strong cowboy culture, and they highly respect the small town, farm and free-spirited lifestyle.

They don't like to be controlled, whether you are the emperor of Mexico or the president of the United States, even if aliens come, they will still stab your head.

Because the folk customs are too aggressive, their city size has always been small, because too many people will cause trouble, and after trouble is over, the population will naturally drop.

California has Los Angeles and San Francisco, Washington State has Seattle, not to mention New York, what famous big cities are there in Texas?The largest city, Houston, has a population of only 200 million. Many people in Dallas and El Paso may not have heard of it.

The town of Newt that Bella and the others are going to is located at the southernmost tip of Texas, near the Mexican border.

The boss is driving, and the employees are sitting in the back flirting with each other?That is impossible!Out of Dallas, she called Max to the front to drive!

"Boss? Me, I don't." He wanted to say that he couldn't drive, but this made Comrade Max a bit embarrassed. There are not many Americans who can't drive.

Bella froze for a moment.

"You really can't drive? You can only ride a scooter? It doesn't matter, now is a good opportunity to exercise! Come, come, there is no one on the road anyway, such a simple thing, you can drive it for two miles."

She pushed Max into the cab.

Comrade Max was nervously steering the steering wheel, for fear that he would drive the car into a ditch.

Bella lay in Heather's broad bosom with great ease and slowly fell asleep.

The road became more and more desolate, and it was already the afternoon of the day when we reached the town of Newt.

There are towering trees on both sides of the town. There are not many houses in the town. The residents look at them with indifference. It seems that there is no law about guns in public places here. Shotguns abound.

Not only for deterrence, but also to embolden the two honest people who are traveling with them.Bella shot and killed a wild wolf that came out to look for food.

"That old grandmother of yours lives alone in this kind of place? It's super powerful!" She felt that Heather's grandmother was also a ruthless person if she could live to the end of her life in this kind of place without any superpowers.

They stopped in front of the wall marked with the nameplate of the Sawyer family, and a thick iron gate blocked the way. After waiting for a while, the lawyer handling the entrustment also came to the iron gate from the other end of the intersection.

The lawyer is an old man, very fat, with white hair and beard, and he is panting when he walks.

He looked at the three of them, and glanced at Bella and Max, as if he felt that they didn't have the temperament of a Texan, and finally looked at Heather.

"It really looks like your grandmother." The old man said to Heather with a smile, and at the same time took out a thick document bag.

Heather was wearing a striped top with the shoulders ripped open to reveal her left shoulder. The top was short and was propped up by her talent. Her smooth belly was exposed and looked very tempting. She nervously took the document, Read carefully.

"Bernar Sawyer, that's your grandmother's name. She's very nice and kind, although she's not very popular here." The old man pointed to the 'bitch' letters sprayed out with paint on the wall.

Heather still uses the surname of her original adoptive father. She doesn't dislike Sawyer's surname, but she doesn't like it either.

It is very troublesome to change the surname, and it is even more troublesome to inherit the legacy of the old grandmother who has never met.

And these two things complement each other and are indispensable.

If you inherit the inheritance, you can naturally change your surname, and if you change your surname, you can inherit the inheritance.

So the question is, what procedures are needed to inherit the inheritance?

money!need money!pay taxes!Inheritance tax!

The United States divides federal estate tax and state estate tax.

Among them, ten states will levy state estate taxes on the basis of the federal estate tax, and another four states will levy inheritance taxes. The names are different, but the substance is similar.

Fortunately, Texas is not within this scope. If Heather wants to inherit her grandmother's legacy, she only needs to pay the federal estate tax.

What is the percentage of this tax amount?Roughly in the range of 8% to 50%.

If an inheritance of 100 million is inherited, then according to the complex inheritance law, the heir has to pay an inheritance tax of at least US$50 and at most US$[-].

For most American people who do not understand the law and have no way to understand the law, they basically belong to the class of being cut leeks. It is normal for the tax bureau to take half of your inheritance. Taking away is not counted, and you have to have a special attitude Say 'thank you' to them politely.

Considering Heather's blood relationship to her grandmother, her tax percentage is probably around 45%.

If the old lady left Heather with property and farm worth 100 million, she would need to pay 45 inheritance tax to the federal government, which must be paid in full, not in installments!

Inheritance tax is more symbolic than practical for the rich, and they have ways to avoid taxation.

The difficulty is that those middle class and southern farmers may be cut down from the propertied class to the proletarian by the law after two generations!

In many states in the southern United States, farmers can no longer afford to grow land, and the cost is too high

Heather flicked through various documents, frowning, how could she have money!

The only little money was saved for Bella's part-time job, and now she is asked to pay 45 US dollars?Are you kidding me?

She didn't care that Bella borrowed money, and she couldn't pay it back.

Instead of wanting a manor and farm in Texas, it is better to sell it for money. Her idea is very practical, but if you want to sell, you must go through a full set of procedures. If you don’t pay inheritance tax, these procedures will not be completed. Let’s do something The son entered a dead end.

The old lawyer saw her embarrassment, and waved goodbye cheerfully: "Come to me if you have any difficulties, there is my phone number."

Max attaches great importance to the girlfriend's matter, took the document and pondered it over and over again, as if he wanted to find the loopholes in it.

Lawyers are all experts at playing word games, so it’s so easy for you, a layman, to take advantage of your loopholes. After reading it for a long time, you can’t see anything.

"What should we do?" Heather asked Bella.

Bella has no envy or hatred for her roommate inheriting an inheritance. This place is almost at the border, and the location is too far away!The old lady is a typical Texan. She ignores the law, doesn't understand the law, let alone what inheritance tax is, and didn't make any arrangements during her lifetime. At this time, all problems are on Heather.

"Boss, this, this, how much do you need to pay in the end?" Max looked at this large pile of legal documents at the level of not graduating from high school. He was dizzy and didn't understand. See a word in responsibility, money!

He really wants to help his girlfriend, but doesn't know how.
