I was renting a piano, but my father said I could use his piano rather than lose money on the rental. Its ambiguous if he "gave it to me" (It is obviously a long term loan, but its understood my job is to take care of it although it'll be mine in the future.) I'm thinking of... View More

I don't think there is anything ambiguous about this. If your father owns the piano, it is his asset, not yours so it would not be in the bankruptcy estate. Doesn't matter if you are using it long or short term and the location of the item. It is another person's property and will... View More

His son has recently contacted me and says that his bank account that he had with his wife is frozen. He said that his lawyer that is handling this process needs my original birth certificate sent in the mail to P.R. But he’s not providing much detail at all. So far I know there’s no will but...

I do understand the gravity of cosigning. She makes more than enough to pay the rent. They require proof of 3x rent in monthly income which she cannot meet. I have no worries about her paying and we both have excellent credit. Thank you

so what is your question? you as co-signed will be liable for rent and any damage to the ex-wife's apartment. it has no bearing on you being able to get your own apartment. every company has their own criteria for what the tenant must show in order to rent the apartment

you could sue the car dealer in small claims court in your county. i doubt it would be cost effective to hire an attorney for your case.
The application is on a DJ docket number so the case has been closed. How can I resolve this matter best, as I cannot afford to lose my wages or afford $158,000?

really depends on your situation and driving record. if you have a clean record and not a commercial driver it is probably cheapest to just plead guilty and take the points. otherwise contact an attorney to get a reduction in points
I have 50K invested in my sisters company which is an LLC. If I filed personal bankruptcy would that money be exempt ?

I filed for bankruptcy in August 2019 and received a discharge in November 2019.

I had two Sallie... View More
