Yes, there is nothing illegal about that, however employees of the assisted living facility should not serve as witnesses to the signatures on the patient advocate designation.

She can't evict you, but depending on how you guys hold title, whether as joint tenants or as tenants in common, she might be able to file a partition lawsuit against you to have the house sold and the proceeds split between the two of you.

Enough? Anything's possible I guess. The fact that your evidence is mostly emails and texts doesn't dictate whether you have a winning case or not. There are ways to get those into evidence, so the trier of fact can weigh it. But keep in mind evidence is not proof.

The permissible use of an easement is based on the language of the easement grant. Uses of an easement that unreasonably exceed the grant of easement can be enjoined in court. You will need to set up a consult with a real estate attorney in your area so the attorney can review the documents... View More

No, not unless it was left to the partner in a will, trust, beneficiary designation, or ladybird deed for example.

It sounds like you will need to open an informal estate so a personal representative can be appointed. The personal representative can then sign a deed transferring real estate to the heir(s) of the estate or to a buyer.

I agree with the prior answer. Also, you mentioned that your house will transfer without fees on your death. That may be the case if you've signed a lady bird deed. But if not, then there may be real estate transfer tax that will need to be paid upon transfer of the house to the new owner.

Well, it depends. Let's take the questions one at a time. First, can those people continue to rent at the property, notwithstanding your parents' deaths? Yes. When the landlord dies, the tenants' leases continue, but they are now with the landlord's estate, instead of with the... View More

I agree with Mr. Soble. When your neighbor dumps the twigs and branches back on your property, that is a trespass. You could theoretically sue for damages, but this would be something best resolved out of court between you and your neighbor.

By the information you gave in your question, a judgment was entered against you a long time ago, and your state income taxes have been garnished by the judgment creditor. Because of the length of time and the doctrine of res judicata (meaning: the thing has already been decided), you cannot set... View More

Yes, a creditor who has a money judgment against you in Michigan can put a judgment lien on any real estate you own. The judgment lien is good for 5 years and can be renewed once for an additional 5 years. The judgment lien cannot be used to foreclose on the property but would need to be paid off... View More

I agree with the above answer. But it would also depend on whether you own the home as tenants by the entireties with your spouse, and whether the judgment creditor's debt is a joint debt belonging to both spouses. As discussed by Ms. Lions, it would be best for you to get a consult with a... View More

No.

You cannot remove the fact that you filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy from your credit report. You filed the chapter 13 - it happened, it's a fact. You can't "unring the bell" and change the facts at this point.

A credit reporting agency has no obligation to remove or... View More

You can do it for yourself on your own vehicle, but you wouldn't be able to offer them for sale to others due to trademark issues. If you were to sell them at retail, you would need to obtain a license from Audi, otherwise you could be sued for trademark infringement.

You can open probate anytime there are assets that need to be administered or another reason exists why a personal representative should be appointed. There is no deadline. Some probate estates are not opened until decades after the person passes away, for example to clear up title to real estate.

You could call the law firms for both debt collections, and ask them who the original creditor and the original account number was for each. You could also send them a letter asking the same questions. Keep in mind that when you talk to them on the phone, they will be recording the phone call. You... View More

Yes, it's enforceable. What you are describing is not just a will, but also a trust that was created in the will (a testamentary trust). To but it bluntly, courts are going to enforce wills and trusts exactly as they are written as long as the testator/trustor had a legitimate estate planning... View More

You can try to plead with the ex-wife to leave the household contents in place so that the person(s) who are entitled to them can get them. But if asking doesn't work, the only way for someone to force the ex-wife to leave the household contents alone is to open probate and have a personal... View More

Probation is something that's part of a criminal sentence. If you want your son to have a criminal record, you can make a police report. Then the police and prosecutor can find a way to charge him. It could also get you a visit from Child Protective Services. Those things may not work out so... View More
