I do not know what a heir certificate is, but you are probably talking about an affidavit of heirship that determines a decedent's heirs under oath. Also I do not know what a go guideline is. If this is some type of TN child support, it has nothing to do with insurance already paid out... View More

I assume the $1,000 does not include your filing fees, service fee, publication fee, or the ad litem’s fee.
Even then, $1,000 is awfully skinny to start a divorce case particularly if the attorney knew in advance you didn’t know where your wife is.
While you can sue, you might... View More
My attorney did not re[prent me in court by refusing to cross examine my ex husband on the stand. Furthermore, he did not inform me of his surgery during the time of my case. His wife had recently passed as well. When I asked for my case file he yelled at me and hung up. How do I proceed?

It might be a case. Legal malpractice means that a lawyer violated the standard of care. A bad outcome is not enough. Consult with experienced legal malpractice attorneys in the state where this occurred.

Can insurance company lie to to Estate administrator and why would they require a court order for records if there was no fraud

What is your question? Apparently this is a complicated matter, and it does not appear you have standing. Insurance Fraud is a tort, and would not be involved in the Estate. Do you have damages? If not, no cause of action. Consult with an attorney.
The officer had lied and the ambulance had no reason to give me a shot of ketamine im.i thought ambulance not allowed to do that and i feel like i was being sex trafficked or endanger and i never got charged with a crime.can i get a compensation.
This affects nothing about my case bc I clearly stated in my deposition that I take them to school but created huge and long lasting problems within my family and thats why it feels like harrassment.

It is common in case for the defense to take sub-rosa videos of the parties involved. As long as the photographers are in a lawful place seeing what is open to the public, it is not generally a violation of law.
