Business & Finance - 30 November 2007

We bought a house in June '07, and the county is assessing property values to determine tax changes in 2008. They sent us a letter saying our property value was a certain number. That is $20,000 more than we paid! The hike in property taxes would be 40%.
We don't think it's fair to mark our property that high within 4 months of our buying it. I've checked comps on various web sites, and they are all lower than county assessment.
What can documents can we produce to appeal?

I have a 17 year old disabled child, Dane. He will be semi-independent as an adult - assisted living, sheltered employment. For my other two children, I've created Coverdell education accounts for college expenses. I'd like to create an investment account for Dane as well, but he will not likely need educational benefits. He said that he might go to a cooking school, but then again, maybe not. I'd like to maintain control of the account but yet have him on the account as well. The funds don't need to be immediately accessible - I want to save for future expenses that we don't know about now. Any ideas?

You would think that the insider knowledge they could obtain by working closely with you to sell your house would put them at an unfair advantage against other potential buyers who may be willing to pay you more.

I am interested in some acreage in Columbia County, Fl. In a "Special Warranty Deed" to the current owner;" International Paper Company reserved a passive royalty interest (without right of entry) in 50% of the oil, gas, and other minerals (including clay, sand, and gravel) which were owned by the grantor prior to the delivery of this deed." It also states that the grantor does not have to contribute to the cost of any exploration for the mining, and that "this covenant is to touch, concern and run with the lands." And that the grantee can use without payment to the Grantor any clay sand or gravel for the grantees own construction on the property. This property is selling about $3K an acre below the average price. How much does this covenant reduce the value of the property, and will this royalty interest ever run out, or can they come at any time and exercise their rights? We plan to build and live here permanently, and need to understand the laws. Thank you for your help.

What does a warrant grant the right to buy/sell? Especially when a warrant is based on a broad market index, currency index, or domestic equity index, rather than a specific stock or bond?
