BOSTON, BRAINTREE AND QUINCY, MA…

Susan Molinari, Esq., an attorney at Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro P.C., recently completed training at The Political Asylum/Immigration Representation Project (PAIR), the premier provider of pro bono immigration legal services to asylum-seekers and immigrants unjustly detained in Massachusetts.

The training Molinari attended, entitled “Representing Minors: An Overview of Special Immigrant Juvenile Status”, focused on how to assist juveniles to gain protective status in state court and before the immigration service. It also offered strategies on how to work with minors and highlight available resources that minors can access.

“The immigration issue has been percolating for many years and there seem to be far more questions than answers. Thanks to the training I received at PAIR, we have a few more answers and can better represent the true victims of immigration reform, the children,” said Molinari.

Founded in 1989, PAIR is nationally recognized pro bono model that works to secure safety and freedom for asylum-seekers who have fled from persecution throughout the world and to promote the rights of immigrants unjustly detained. PAIR provides hope and a new beginning to asylum-seekers, torture survivors and immigration detainees.

“Even though we pride ourselves on Boston-caliber legal representation at fees you will only find outside the city, we realize not everyone who needs a lawyer can afford to retain one,” said Paul Barbadoro, a partner at the Firm. “Susan is one of several attorneys at our Firm who takes that to heart and will work pro bono for certain cases. We’re proud of her commitment to getting the training needed to better represent immigration clients.”

In addition to her work with immigration, Molinari specializes in complex litigation cases, trials and appeals in the areas of business and commercial litigation, criminal defense, consumer protection, probate litigation, and zoning appeals. Admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1999, she’s also a member of the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, admitted in 2000. A member of the Boston Bar Association, Molinari is a legal advocate for the Riverside Community Care Human Rights Committee in Dedham, MA.

AdamsComm, Inc. offers weather cancellation solutions

CARVER, MA…

Over the past four weeks, practically every organization in the greater Boston area has had to cancel or delay work, school, service, etc. For many, that’s meant either checking the local news, a company or school website, or waiting/sending text messages. AdamsComm, Inc., providers of sophisticated and easy to use IP telephone systems, has recently experienced a number of clients incorporating cancellation notices into their communications systems.

“There are certainly more efficient ways than having one employee calling everyone or waiting all the way through the alphabet for your organization to be listed or not listed on the local news,” said John Adams, president of AdamsComm, Inc. “Most modern telephone systems have the capabilities to set up a dedicated weather/cancellation line. Most companies just don’t know it.”

For both private companies and public agencies, Adams recommends setting up a weather mode of operation and a special phantom extension specifically for cancellations and delays. This extension can be accessed by calling the company auto-attendant or a dedicated telephone number.

“What these alternatives do is put the onus on the employee to call in for information rather than have the business owner or HR person calling, e-mailing or texting everyone,” said Adams.

Adds Adams, “Usually these options don’t require an investment in new hardware and enable users to provide information regarding cancellations, delays or other important messages remotely. If your company’s phone system doesn’t have this capability, it’s probably time to investigate an upgrade. That’s something that could be determined with a simple phone audit.”

AdamsComm offers customized design, implementation and support of IP telephone systems and applications, voice mail systems, call centers and infrastructure cabling for small-to-mid-sized businesses. The company has provided effective communications solutions to over 500 clients including Mutual Bank, Emerald Physicians and Rising Tide Charter Schools.

Located at 128 Main Street, Suite 11, in Carver, Massachusetts, AdamsComm, Inc. serves clients on the South Shore, Cape Cod, Greater Boston, and Metrowest. In addition to 24/7 on-call service, Adams can be onsite, as needed, within four hours.

Estate planning with Facebook? New “legacy” feature on Facebook raises questions

Elissa Burton, Esq.
Elissa Burton, Esq.

BOSTON, BRAINTREE AND QUINCY, MA…

Facebook has served as a catalyst for school and family reunions; hook-ups and break-ups. With its newest creation, a legacy function, the social media site has, in a small way, entered the arena of estate planning. Or has it?

The new function enables users to name a person as their legacy for when they pass on. The Facebook legacy is empowered to essentially manage the deceased’s account. This can include such things as: writing a post to display at the top of the memorialized Timeline (for example, to announce a memorial service or share a special message); responding to new friend requests from family members and friends who were not yet connected on Facebook; and updating the profile picture and cover photo. The legacy also has the power to take down somebody’s Facebook page after they die.

“By now, we have all known somebody who has a Facebook page or is on some other social media site and has passed away. Facebook’s approach is proactive in that it enables people to essentially nominate a personal representative to manage for their Facebook page to a trusted family member or friend,” said Elissa Burton, an attorney at Baker, Braverman, & Barbadoro, P.C.

While running somebody’s Facebook site may not sound like estate planning, it does present significant responsibility to the legacy. Particularly when you consider that many Facebook users have been posting notes, images and videos to the site for five to 10 years.

“The legacy contact function raises some potentially intriguing scenarios for those who have created a will and/or have done some estate planning,” said Burton. “Does the designated legacy contact have superior authority over the decedent’s Facebook page than a personal representative named in the decedent’s will? It’s an interesting question.”

Burton adds, ““It is important for individuals to be aware that designating a legacy contact for your Facebook page does not equate to nominating a personal representative for your estate and is not a substitute for proper estate planning.”

Social media policies and issues are one topic Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C. attorneys cover in their Lunch ‘n Learn speaker sessions. Other small business topics they cover include: Legal Do’s and Don’ts for Start-ups; Family Business: Passing it on to the Next Generation; How to Avoid Employee Wrongful Termination Claims; Protecting Intellectual Property; Common Mistakes When Naming a Business; Does My Business Need an Attorney (the answer will surprise you); Sole Proprietor? LLC? C-Corp? How to Choose; Complex Business Litigation; Personal Injury Law; Real Estate Litigation; and more.

To arrange for a Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C. attorney for a Lunch ‘n Learn session or to speak at your upcoming event, you can contact Paul Barbadoro at 781-848-9610 or by e-mail at BBBinfo@bbb-lawfirm.com with the word “Speaker” in the subject line.

Considering the Geothermal Solution? Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling Alerts Homeowners of Tax Credit

KCHC_Classic_WEB_Blue copyNantucket Islanders who have been considering a geothermal heating and cooling solution may want to act soon to take advantage of a Federal Tax Credit on geothermal heat pumps that is available through 2016.

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling, the premier, certified geothermal heating and cooling system expert installer on Nantucket, advises owners of existing homes and new construction of a 30 percent tax credit related to qualifying ENERGY STAR geothermal heat pumps.

A geothermal heating system takes advantage of the earth’s consistent temperature by way of geothermal heat pumps, which collect energy from the earth and move it to the home via electricity. During the summer, a geothermal system exchanges the heat in the home with the cooler ground, making it up to three times more efficient than standard air conditioning. There are no emissions – carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or hydrocarbon emissions – with a geothermal heating and cooling system.

“A geothermal heating and cooling system is environmentally responsible, extremely efficient and significantly less expensive than conventional heating and cooling systems. Geothermal provides higher levels of comfort year-round and lower utility and energy bills,” said Kevin Conrad, owner.

Homeowners must meet ENERGY STAR program requirements. Geothermal heat pumps qualify for a tax credit that is 30 percent of the cost, which includes installation costs.

Conrad continued, “Homeowners who had a geothermal system installed in 2014 should consider this residential energy credit when filing their taxes.”

Homeowners who are interested in converting to, or installing a new geothermal system are encouraged to contact Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling with questions or to request an estimate 508-228-6211.

How to reduce the biggest tax bill of your life

Paul Dion PHOTOMILLBURY, MA and NEWPORT, RI…

Selling your home or business represents two of the largest monetary transactions most people will be a part of. It also represents their largest capital gains bill they will ever pay as well. Or will it?

“The top rate on capital gains is up to 20 percent; the new “net investment income tax” is 3.8 percent, and state taxes can eat up 13.3 percent more. Depending on where you live, that means the government confiscates up to a third or more of your hard-earned gain,” said Paul Dion, a CPA with offices in Millbury, MA and Newport, RI. “Charitable trusts avoid tax on that gain, but that means giving away the principal or the income from the proceeds. Section 1031 exchanges defer tax on real estate gains, but that forces you to re-invest the proceeds into a ‘like-kind’ property and impose tight deadlines for identifying and closing on a replacement.”

Dion recommends a little-known strategy to cut the effective cost of selling your asset valued at $500,000 or more to as little as 6.5 percent. It’s a monetized installment sale, and it uses a third- party dealer in capital assets to defer receiving sale proceeds (and the tax on those proceeds) for up to 30 years. It’s based on tax code rules dating back to 1913 and supported by a 2012 IRS memorandum.

While deferring tax is great, how does that help you if you want the proceeds from your sale now?  With this strategy, a third-party financial institution can lend you a non-taxable amount equal to 95 percent of the sale price (93.5 percent after loan-related costs). You can re-invest those proceeds or spend them however you like.

At the end of the installment period, the dealer will pay you the agreed selling price that will provide you the money to repay the loan, and you’ll pay the tax with significantly discounted dollars.

“The beauty of this strategy is that it offers significant estate-tax advantages,” said Dion.

How? The seller transfers the asset to the dealer in exchange for lump sum payment of the purchase price payable in 30 years. The dealer simultaneously transfers asset to the buyer in exchange for agreed-upon price. Then, the third-party lender extends nontaxable cash equal to 93.5 percent of sale amount to seller. After 30 years, the dealer pays the agreed sale price, the seller uses that money to repay the loan, and the seller pays tax with discounted dollars.

Adds Dion, “While this strategy may seem fairly straightforward, for most if will require the assistance of a tax professional.”
