Legal Answers
20 Questions Answered
- Q. Does Mississippi allow churches as a 501(c)3 to have a consumer's certificate of exemption on sales tax?
- A: No, Mississippi does not exempt religious organizations from sales tax. However, churches may be exempt on the purchase of utilities if they qualify for a federal income tax exemption under 26 USCS Section 501(c)(3) if the utilities are used on a property that is primarily used for religions or educational purposes. In order to obtain the sales tax exemption, the church should complete an Affidavit of Church Utility Exemption. The completed affidavit should be provided to the utility provider.
- Q. I believe the statutes of limitations on delinquent credit card debt in Mississippi is 3yrs. When does that 3yrs, start
- A: The statute of limitations starts on the date of last activity on your account. This could be the date you last made payment, but it could also be the date you last used the account, made a promise to pay, entered a payment agreement, or acknowledged liability for the debt.
- Q. i recently got a garnishment notice from my employer but i never was served any court papers for the lawsuit
- A: Yes, you could be charged for the creditor’s additional attorney fees if you are found to owe the debt.
- Q. I have a public sale state tax lien on my record how long is the statue of limitation in the state of mississippi
- A: "Depending upon tax type, the statute of limitations begins running when a tax return is filed, or on the due date of the return. The statute of limitations is typically 36 months from that date as specified in the various tax laws. If a tax return is filed prior to the due date of the return, then the return is considered to have been filed on the due date for purposes of the statute of limitations. If a return is not filed, the statute of limitations does not begin running until an assessment is made for that tax period. The statute of limitations can also be extended beyond the normal time frame if a false or fraudulent return is filed with intent to evade tax." https://www.dor.ms.gov/Pages/General-FAQs.aspx#343
- Q. Have a loan through republic finance, hardship, unable to make payments, afraid of what they can do to me.
- A: You should meet with a local bankruptcy attorney for a free consultation to discuss your options. There is no “minimum” amount of debt required to file.
- Q. Must a KY will that leaves nothing to the children mention the children? If it doesn't is it contestable?
- A: In most states, there are laws that say children who aren't mentioned in a will can petition for a portion of their parents’ estates to prevent accidental disinheritance. Because of these laws, a testator should specifically mention a child they want to disinherit.
- Q. We wanted to leave our land and store to our grand-daughter, under the condition that it's not sold.
- A: Yes, you can set up a trust to transfer the assets into with your desired stipulations.
- Q. In Mississippi do wills need a notary as well as witnesses
- A: The will does not have to be notarized, but you should have the witnesses sign a Self Proving Affidavit which does require a notary.
- Q. Looking into buying a vehicle that was in bankruptcy.. owner has no title bankruptcy has been discharged..
- A: The owner will need to contact the lender to see if the lender will release the title. The lender is not required to do so if their lien was never paid.
