I am receiving a settlement from a company where I was a partner. The settlement includes an upfront payment and monthly payments for 45 months. I need to know how to structure the settlement best for my taxes, considering I have attorney fees to pay out of the settlement and I still owe the IRS from 2013 due to the company's non-payment of taxes. Additionally, I am a 100% disabled veteran on disability and my wife has a good job. How can I negotiate a 1099-MISC to reduce my tax burden?

Additionally, is it legal for her to record a conversation without my knowledge?

I am contesting a will on behalf of my elderly aunt and need to formally file a 300ES. I am the Power of Attorney (POA) and have been unable to find a lawyer to assist with the filing. The will was found hidden in the deceased's home, and the next-of-kin, an estranged niece, has taken over the probate process without presenting the will. The will has a handwritten 'VOID' but is otherwise valid with signatures and witnesses. What steps should I take to ensure the will is recognized by the court, and what are the deadlines and implications of the April 21 hearing?
