Metal part with serial number is the firearm. Inability to operate is irrelevant. Felon knew he should not touch it. Hire a competent attorney; work at least full time; keep quiet (this is a public forum); stay out of trouble; and hire an attorney. There are other lesser charges... View More

You are definitely a heir and a next of kin of your Husband, and possibly the sole heir. Consult with an AR attorney to determine heirship. An affidavit of heirship might need to be recorded as a source of title, or assist in transferring car titles. Hopefully you will not need Probate to get... View More

Accountings are usually complicated matters. The Affiant makes a sworn statement about where monies have went, and incorporates bank statements, deeds, car titles, stock transactions, etc. as an Exhibit thereto. You need an OR attorney to help you prepare such a serious pleading.

There is a registration process with the Secretary of State for non-TN personal representatives. However the Will has no effect until testator dies and it is filed for Probate. If you want to change something, then execute a new Will and destroy the present one. Codicils can impute contests.

You husband is potentially liable for all torts caused by or taxes incurred by the towing business. Unless he gets paid alot, he probably should not get involved with such a one sided business where one partner gets all the cash and the landowner partner gets all the liabilities.
