Can you get current in 30 days n your mortgage?

Further, do you make less than the means test amount? I assume you do because you are unemployed but a chapter 7 will not let you keep your house. If you have no means to get current the mortgage lender will either seek to lift the automatic... View More

Chapter 20s were eliminated supposedly by the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention & Consumer Protection Act. What this means is that a debtor can no longer file a chapter 7 bankruptcy and get discharge and then file a chapter 13 and get a discharge.

Debtors can still do the chapter... View More

Not paying one's debts is not usually a matter for criminal law. Unless you "borrowed" the money with the express intent never to pay it back, then the answer is no.

Is this a payday loan? Payday loans are illegal in NC. See the article on payday loans at my website:... View More

What is a "re-send" law?

What are you looking for? There are provisions in the Motor Vehicle Code (Title 20 of the NC Gen. Statutes) that deal with transferring a used motor vehicle that is either a flood/salvage/rebuilt vehicle or vehicle that has been in a wreck and damaged. The... View More

Yes. Contact the clerk of the probate court in the county where your grandfather resided at the time of his death and see if an estate has been probated. I would let at least 30 days pass following his death before you start to check. If the clerk says there is no estate keep checking every... View More

I answered this question on another site. But for the benefit of readers, the parent has a life estate and the 4 children have an undivided 25% remainder interest.

I am not sure why the 3 children would need to convey the property back to the parent to do the timber - as long as all the... View More

It depends on what your paperwork says. Did you get a residential real property disclosure form? What was noted thereon about any plumbing issues? What about an inspection of the home? Did you have one performed by an independent inspector?

What is the particular plumbing issue? When did... View More

Why was this not done a long time ago?

When your mother died in 2001, I presume that she was the sole owner of the property at that time and she had not remarried. The question is, do you have any other brothers and sisters? Did your mother have a will at the time of her death?

Not necessarily.

Why was the ward living in GA? Did the ward intend to move there? Where did the ward own property, if any? Where is the property now?

If there is no property in GA but its in FL, there really is no point probating an estate in GA. In that case, I would probate... View More

You do not provide enough information. Where did your father live at the time of his death? When did he die? Was he married and was his spouse alive? Did you have any other brothers and sisters? Did he have a will? You indicate that you are the biological daughter. Biology aside - what... View More

I am not sure that you necessarily have to file probate. First, who is this letter from? What is the unclaimed cash from?

Most states have escheat laws. Basically, these provide that an insurer or a bank has to hold property for a certain period. If the funds remained unclaimed for this... View More

Neither. Its divisible property unless there was some kind of property settlement or free-trader agreement in place.

See NC Gen. Stat. § 50-20. Distribution by court of marital and divisible property.

(a) Upon application of a party, the court shall determine what is the... View More

NO. NC is a no-fault divorce state. To get a divorced, it does not matter who did what to whom. All that matters is that the person filing for a divorce has lived here for at least 6 months and that the parties have been separated for a year and a day.

Adultery would be grounds for a... View More

Get a divorce lawyer. There is a set process you have to follow. You have to try to serve by regular methods before you can go to the court and ask for permission to serve by publication.

Assuming that the person works, it is very difficult for someone not to be found. There are people... View More

Divorce is a state concern, not a federal concern. There are no federal divorce laws. I am not licensed in Illinois so I have no idea about Illinois law. You should direct any questions about Illinois law to an Illinois family lawyer.

I am not sure what you are asking. Just because a... View More

Place of marriage is not relevant. You can file divorce where either of the parties reside. If you live here then you can file for divorce here in NC as long as you have resided in the state for at least 6 months and you have been separated from your husband for a year and a day.

Yes, as long as it was signed by both you and your spouse and notarized. The problem is that if it was not incorporated and merged with the divorce decree, if your spouse does not abide by the agreement, you would have to go to regular court, not the divorce court for the breach and to get it...

See a real estate attorney. It can probably be done by a quitclaim deed deeding the house from your husband to you and your husband as tenants by the entireties/husband and wife. Deeds are not all that expensive.

If the home is mortgaged, your husband might also want to check with his... View More

Back up. You say you got an advertisement for legal services. Ads are not the legal complaint. The complaint may have been properly filed.

Ads are filed in advance of service of the lawsuit. What happens is the lawyers subscribe to a service that tells the lawyer when a certain kind of... View More

3 years for a civil suit. If you are talking about the statute of limitations for crimes, its 2 years for misdemeanors. There is no statute of limitations for felonies.

Communicating threats is a crime. You don't sue on that. You might sue civilly for something (not sure what it... View More
