Is it alright to name an Ohio sports club with a mascot name from a high school in Illinois? Can we use their colors? We would not use their images and the letting on our jersey design would be different.

The only way to find out if it is "alright," is to contact the trademark owner and obtain permission. Without prior permission, there is a risk that the trademark owner could sue for trademark infringement.

If the mortgage is paid off then it just needs to be released. Ask your lender to file a release of mortgage.

Yes to first question if named in the will.
Yes to second question so long as the out-of-state POA conforms to Ohio requirements (which most will).

A month to month tenancy can be terminated by either landlord or tenant by giving 30 days' written notice. If a tenant does not leave, then landlord can file an eviction. If a landlord sends notice of a rent increase, and tenant does not agree, then tenant or landlord can give the 30 days... Read more »
The time to go through probate in this case has passed so I am looking for other options to pass title
answered on Sep 28, 2022
Depending on how the deed to the real estate is drafted, it might have to go through probate. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local probate attorney who can review the deed and re-open the probate case to transfer the property if that is necessary.

If the probate court were to appoint a family member as his guardian, that would terminate her POA. The probate court could also determine if he was competent when he made a new will or whether there was coercion, undue influence, or other improper pressure to change the will. Use the Find a...

This has some serious family drama issues. Can a Grantor verbally amend a trust? Yes under certain circumstances. But the issue is whether this actually happened. Get a lawyer!

It's not the answer you're going to want to hear, but it depends on many other factors. Probate can be very complicated. I highly recommend sitting down with an attorney to review the situation in detail and advising you.
Best of luck.

You can only win what you lost unless there’s a reason for punishing the other side. If the other side is wrong in fact but not morally, you can only get compensation. Think about a car accident.

Well, you can talk to the prosecutor about it. Occasionally they decide not to move forward with a case based on new info or an uncooperative victim. In this case it would help A LOT if you could show them you found the phone. If you don’t have it, they probably aren’t going to believe you... Read more »

If he never went to court to establish parental rights, he doesn't have any. If you want to be sure, or preempt his attempt to establish such rights, you file a private custody action in juvenile court seeking to terminate his rights.

If a tenant withholds rent, the landlord can file an eviction. Try to work it out with the landlord to get repairs. If that doesn't work, then after giving written notice to landlord of the problem, you can start paying rent on time each month into escrow with your local court. Check the... Read more »

The co-owner is not a spouse if the co-owners are not married. Each co-owner can invite whomever they choose as a guest -- or even as a tenant.
