Marvel's princess becomes king

With a vast land and sparse population, Texas has a strong cowboy culture. They highly admire the small towns, farms and free-spirited lifestyle.

They don't like to be controlled. It doesn't matter whether you are the Emperor of Mexico or the President of the United States. Even if aliens come, they will still prick your head.

Because the folk customs are too fierce, the scale of their cities has always been small, because too many people will cause trouble. When the trouble is over, the population will naturally drop.

There are Los Angeles and San Francisco in California, Seattle in Washington state, let alone New York. What are the famous big cities in Texas? The largest city, Houston, has a population of only two million. Many people in Dallas and El Paso have probably never heard of it.

The town of Newt where Bella and the others were going was located at the southernmost tip of Texas, close to the Mexican border.

The boss drives and the employees sit in the back and make love to each other? That is impossible! After leaving Dallas, she called Max to the front to drive!

"Boss? I...I don't..." He wanted to say that he couldn't drive, but this made Comrade Max a little embarrassed to say it. There really weren't many Americans who couldn't drive.

Bella was stunned 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 on, come on, there's no one on the road anyway, you can drive such a simple thing for two miles ."

She pushed Max into the cab.

Comrade Max held the steering wheel nervously, fearing that he would drive the car into a ditch.

Bella lay in Heather's broad chest with great relief and slowly fell asleep.

The road became more and more deserted, and by the time we arrived at Newt Town, it was already the afternoon of the day.

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. The law that prohibits guns in public places does not seem to exist here. There is a pistol on the waist and a pistol in the hand. Shotguns abound.

Not only to intimidate, but also to embolden the two honest people who were traveling with me. Bella raised her hand and shot a wild wolf that came out to look for food.

"That old grandmother of yours lives alone in a place like this? She's so awesome!" She felt that she could live to the end of her life in a place like this without any superpowers. Heather's grandmother was also a cruel person... .

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

The lawyer was an old man, very fat, with white hair and a white beard, and he was panting when he walked.

He looked at the three of them, his eyes swept over Bella and Max, as if they didn't have the temperament of a Texan, and finally looked at Heather.

"She looks like your grandmother." The old man said to Heather with a smile, while taking out a thick document bag.

Heather was wearing a striped top, which was deliberately torn open at the shoulders, exposing her left shoulder. The top was very short and was held up by her talent. Her smooth lower abdomen was completely exposed. She looked extremely seductive. She nervously took the document. Read carefully.

"Bernard Sawyer...this is your grandmother's name. She is very nice and kind, although she is not very popular here." The old man pointed to the letters 'bitch' spray-painted on the wall. said.

Heather still uses the surname of her original adoptive father. She can't say she hates the surname Sawyer, but she can't say she likes it either.

Changing your surname is troublesome, and trying to inherit the legacy of an old grandmother you have never met is even more troublesome.

And these two things complement each other and are indispensable.

After inheriting an inheritance, you can naturally change your surname. If you change your surname, you can inherit the inheritance.

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

money! need money! Pay taxes! Inheritance tax!

The United States is divided into federal estate tax and state estate tax.

Ten of these states will levy state estate taxes on the basis of federal estate taxes, and four other states will levy inheritance taxes, with different names but similar substance.

Fortunately, Texas is not within this scope. If Heather wants to continue her grandmother’s inheritance, she only needs to pay federal estate tax.

What is the proportion of this tax amount? It is roughly in the range of 8% to 50%.

If you inherit one million dollars, then according to complex inheritance laws, the heir will have to pay an inheritance tax of at least US$ and up to US$.

For most Americans who do not understand the law and have no way to understand the law, they basically fall into the category of being cut off. It is normal for the tax bureau to take away half of your inheritance. Taking it away does not count. You have to have a special attitude. Say 'thank you' to them politely.

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

If the old lady leaves Heather the property and farm worth one million, she will need to pay an inheritance tax of four hundred and fifty thousand to the federal government, which must be paid in full and cannot be paid in installments!

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

The difficulty lies in the fact that the middle class and farmers in the South may be cut down from the property class to the proletariat by law in two generations!

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

Heather looked through various documents and frowned with worry. How could she have any money?

The little money she had was all saved by working for Bella, and now she was asked to pay $? Are you kidding me?

She wouldn't care if Bella borrowed money, even if she borrowed it, 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 she wants to sell it, she must go through a full set of procedures. If the inheritance tax is not paid, these procedures will not be completed. Let’s talk about it. The child has reached a dead end.

The old lawyer saw her embarrassment and waved goodbye cheerfully: "If you have any difficulties, come to me anytime. My phone number is on it."

Max attached great importance to his girlfriend's affairs. He took the document and pondered it over and over, as if he wanted to find loopholes in it.

Lawyers are all experts at playing word games. It's so easy for a layman to take advantage of them. After looking at them for a long time, I couldn't see anything.

"What should we do?" Heather asked Bella.

Bella didn't feel the slightest bit envious or jealous about her roommate inheriting an inheritance. This place was almost to the border and the location was too remote! The old lady is a typical Texan who ignores the law and does not understand the law, let alone what inheritance tax is. She did not make any arrangements during her lifetime. At this time, all the problems fell on Heather.

"Boss, this...this, how much do you need to pay in the end?" With Max's level of not graduating from high school, he looked at this large pile of legal documents. He was dizzy and didn't understand it. He just looked at it. Among the many terms, provisions, obligations and responsibilities, I saw one word, money!

He wanted to help his girlfriend but didn't know how.
