Can you tell me what is required to be in a letter of intent when filing against police misconduct? And does one have to be filed in order to sue?

A letter of intent, in the context of filing a claim against police misconduct, is a formal notice that informs the government agency of your intention to file a lawsuit. While there is no strict requirement to include the words "letter of intent" in the document, it should clearly convey... View More

A Connecticut attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. If you did not suffer physical harm, it does not appear to offer a basis for a med mal case. Different attorneys could see a given situation differently. You could reach out to local attorneys to arrange a free... View More

Consult with a probate attorney in CT for advice on venue. Sometimes it is better to venue shop, especially in view of estate creditors and asset location. Or it may make no difference except to the fiduciary's convenience.

Based on the information you provided, you would be better off filing in Connecticut. It sounds to me that he was a resident of Connecticut, and was only temporarily in Massachusetts. Also, because he has assets in Connecticut, the Connecticut probate court, would certainly have jurisdiction.

Your father's domicile controls, which is where he lived with an intent to return. If he has a CT condo, receives mail there and intended to return, then probate court for the town of his Connecticut residence would have jurisdiction.

My husband and I are divorcing. We put our house on the market and it is scheduled to close on 5/1. He was arrested on 3/20 and is in jail because he has a $2million cash bond. Unless he changed the estate plan, I have POA. Can I sign for the closing/deed if he is in jail?
answered on Mar 25, 2024
If you have the original POA, with the actual original signature, and it has not been revoked, you could use it to sign the deed for your closing. You should check with your husband to verify that it has not been revoked, and you should give the original POA to your closing attorney for review.... View More
I had an accountant that was in charge of things, who is now in federal prison and has cost me 22,000 over this time and now I’m looking at another 9,300. Can I do anything? I live in this town and am in there to pay ALL of my taxes a couple of times a year. Not once was I ever told about this
answered on Mar 21, 2024
OK, well, either you owe the tax bill because the accountant didn't pay it, or he paid it and the government is wrong. The one thing that is clear is that you cannot rely on "my accountant handled it" to avoid paying a valid tax bill. I think the best course of action is to retain an... View More

Firstly, it's important to verify the legitimacy of the collection notice by contacting the tax authority directly, rather than relying on the collection agency's word alone. If the debt is legitimate, request a detailed statement and check it against your own records. You have rights... View More

The basic answer is "yes" - if a European visitor uses your customer's site and is tracked in violation of European law, your customer could theoretically be subject to EU penalties. The visitor's use of a VPN does not affect your customer's obligations.

When your husband's employer files an I-129 petition for his change of status (COS) and includes an extension for your H4 status, the focus of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will primarily be on his eligibility for the H1B visa and your eligibility for the H4 status....
