SUPPORTED BY VARIOUS COURT CASE CITATIONS

Estate planning is a crucial aspect.

I. Introduction

The legal framework discussed centers around the exemption of household and consumer goods, including automobiles, from certain licensing, registration, and taxation requirements, grounded in the case of Judge Grimes. It underscores the application of common law for disputes over noncommercial use of these goods.

The focus includes your right to work, your right to work is for personal use, consumer you, it is supporting your right to live, you are right to earn a living, you have to know that these items are exempt. In 1969, Judge Grimes of the Supreme Court for the state of New Hampshire not (did) make them think, because the decision was made by the entire court and not just one judge. He was not reading from the State('s) version of the law only! He was discussing actual principle of law, notice how the other court(s) around the nation agreed with him.

So, whether or not an individual gets to write off their necessities, their household goods, their consumer goods, items that are for personal use, that they all recognized as exempt, would be a matter for them to decide, each individual has to understand the law for themselves, and everyone is responsible for knowing the law, for to not know the law is inexcusable!

New Hampshire House Bill 1778, a bill that did not have, but is typically highlighted (Chief) Judge Grimes of the New Hampshire Supreme Court in 1969 case.
