Addressing tax liens and their priority vs. Judgment liens. IRS and MN
Dept. of Revenue collection activities. Dischargeability of taxes.
Review of noteworthy eight circuit court decisions including the Colsen case and

Presenter:
Ken Keate
Mr. Keate graduated from Macalester College, Cum Laude; and the
University of Minnesota Law School. He is one credit short of a Master of
Law in Taxation at William Mitchell College of Law. He has previously lectured
at one NBI Course, and gave two presentations at the Bankruptcy Institute, and
one at the First Amendment Lawyer's Association meeting in Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico. Mr. Keate has litigated in US Tax Court and all Minnesota Courts, US Tax
Court, the Eighth Circuit, and US and Minnesota Bankruptcy and District
Courts. Though not credited in the opinion, Keate won the case that
allowed Debtors to prioritize child support before that was put into the law;
the case that basically forced Minnesota to change its assessment process, and
(so far) the leading case on how to partially secured tax, interest and penalty
of one year between secured and unsecured portions. Keate lost a case in front
of Judge O'Brien, with his decision being cited approvingly in In Re
Nobleman. He also litigated a case in front of former Judge Kishel, which
was implicitly overruled by the Eighth Circuit in the Colsen case, but would
have been followed in every other circuit to make a decision.
