What should my liability limits be on my car insurance?

jrob30

3:28pm

If you have assets to protect they should be high. If you don't you could risk

johnnybyu

3:33pm

Large enough that you can also buy an umbrella policy.

Madam Pattirini

3:37pm

Usually that's $500K, right?

Ragnar Danneskjold

3:39pm

That's what Allstate required

Skeptical Optimist

3:41pm

Most carriers require 250/500. If you can’t get one from your carrier, there are

blueaussie

3:43pm

Thanks. I might do that. My son leaves on his mission in a month, so I will re-visit auto / umbrella then.

Ragnar Danneskjold

3:54pm

We have a standalone umbrella carrier that shouldn’t have a problem with teens.

blueaussie

3:55pm

This woman knows what she’s talking about.

Big Daddy D

3:55pm

100/300 minimum but preferably 250/500 or higher.

blueaussie

3:41pm

There's enough ambulance chaser lawyer ads on TV now to make anybody think

Skeptical Optimist

3:41pm

We do minimum on autos and house with an umbrella policy to cover excess liability

roseyscenario

3:46pm

Where do you get an umbrella with state minimum limits on your home and auto?

blueaussie

3:47pm

Prob meant minimum needed to get the umbrella.

rainorsnow

3:47pm

That would make sense.

blueaussie

3:49pm

Yes, that's right. Use State Farm. Whatever we had to do to qualify for umbrella, which we should probably increase.

roseyscenario

3:56pm

Yes, if you have any assets, you definitely should. Umbrellas are cheap coverage

blueaussie

Increasing liability limits won’t cost much, in most cases, so it’s not much of

Reporting step up basis on rental property from death of spouse. In California.

It was the full step up when I sold my fathers home in

cougar95

3:12pm

Had both parents passed at that point or was one still living? If both have died

bdizzle

3:16pm

If CP, full FMV steup on both deaths.

Jeremy

3:18pm

My mom is still alive

cougar95

3:21pm

It's federal, not state.

Jeremy

3:17pm

When the first spouse dies the surviving spouse gets a 1/2 step up.

oohYeah

3:15pm

This is not true if it is CP.

Jeremy

3:18pm

If CP, then full fair market value on the date of the spouse's death

Jeremy

3:16pm

That is is my understanding as well. CA is a community property state so

bdizzle

3:19pm

All property is either CP or SP regardless of title.

Jeremy

3:28pm

Doesn't the title have to indicate community property or community property with

Huge Manatee

3:41pm

No, law presumes CP in most cases. But it helps.

Jeremy

3:44pm

Are you assuming they bought the property with community property funds?

Huge Manatee

3:54pm

Not really. They paid property taxes on it for almost 50 years

True savings isn't the right word. Although they haven't really paid much

In football, spending more. In basketball, spending less.

That’s not an accurate depiction of how Kalani approaches NIL.

molodyets

That's not true. There are some starters who are making significantly more than

And immediate contributors/one-and-dones in basketball vs multiple years to develop football players.

molodyets

Historically, BYU has not spent more on NIL than Utah. We have a new president and we should expect to spend materially

HarlemCoug

There isn't really a historic basis to say that since NIL funding is just two years old. But I agree with you that BYU's

BYU has been raising far more money than Utah, and BYU is spending it.

Not entirely true. About 25 states, including Utah, allow people to have wolf hybrids. And a lot of states have no…

Even in Utah you have to have a license and there is a % wolf you can own.
