This is a way we’d be able to keep our identity private, and keep all unwanted attention at bay
I know that no matter what question you may have pertaining to something that could turn into a legal issue, you should talk to a lawyer. No one wants to leave loose ends on the table that could turn into a major lawsuit in the future. Even when I tried to take care of lottery winnings and I wanted to set up payments instead of receiving one lump sum, I was told to first contact my lawyer. I thought these laws differed from one state to another, but I was wrong. I lived in Buffalo, NY and I wanted to get monthly or yearly payments. This would have made my payout much higher, but my husband wanted us to take a lump sum amount. I was really hesitant about the lump sum, knowing that the way we spend money, we would blow through it all quickly. We sat down and talked to a lawyer who handled lottery winnings. We learned that a Lottery Lawyer in Buffalo, NY could help find legal ways of minimizing the tax liability. They will also help set up a trust or other legal entity to claim the winnings if it is needed. This is a way we’d be able to keep our identity private, and keep all unwanted attention at bay. If needed, the Lottery Lawyer can also represent us in court. My husband and I were unsure what all we wanted to do with the money we had won from the NY lottery, but we wanted to do it properly and to keep our names and faces off the internet and out of the news.
