I found a kitten abandoned in my backyard, I had her a couple days, started bottle feeding her to save her and everything. Totally fell in love with her. Well things took a turn and she stopped breathing, I gave her CPR and she started breathing again but heart rate was low. I rushed her to the... View More

I have never heard of the "pay or surrender" policy, so that is new to me. I would think if you now have the money to pay the vet fee and get her back, you should ask them to do so. I am a cat lover, so I know how it feels to "lose" a cat, especially a kitten. Call them about... View More
I told my building management before the 1st my rent will be paid on the 14th to which I recieved an "ok" via text. I have a 12 month lease and I still received a pay or quit notice around the 5th and the week after an eviction threat. I paid on the 14th and just now via text was asked... View More

The answer may lie in whether or not the "OK" you received was in writing, or made verbally. Verbal agreements are worth the paper their written on (i.e. nothing). If you received an email "OK" you have written proof that the management accepted your offer to pay on the 14th.... View More

You have not given me enough information to sort out your situation.
Says it will be taken upon oral examination and will be recorded stenographically and by Video.
Ok. the question is. If it wasn't video am I able to have the Depo. quashed.
I was extra nerves since I thought that I was going to have to do a video Depo.
answered on Jul 16, 2018
I would think that if the depo went forward without the video, that would not make a difference. Sometimes the party demanding a deposition specifies different modes of recording the deposition, and then chooses to use other means. If the depo has already been taken, it is a moot point. If it is... View More
I am buying a house in Vallejo Ca. I already removed the contingency after 17 days of home inspection period. But the listing stated concrete perimeter, but I just found out that the house is on the slab foundation, which I don't like the slab. Can I still cancel the contract without losing my... View More

I am not sure of the difference between a concrete perimeter and a slab foundation. Isn't a slab foundation made of concrete?
I’m a non occupant coborrower on my moms home purchase. Conventional loan in Texas. My tile part will be married sole and separate. Does my husband have to sign anything
answered on Jul 16, 2018
You have not provided enough information for me to answer your question.
Is this legal?. Will I get taxed (sales tax) or otherwise on this additional money for the building which is attached to the land.?
answered on Jul 16, 2018
I don't know, since you are going outside of the escrow. I would be careful.
Mr. Light. You stated that you don't know why I would be concerned given that the insurance company is responsible for covering the damage costs. My concern relates to having an at fault accident (which they are claiming) on my record and a marked increase in my insurance premiums. Again, the... View More

I, Thomas Grossman, partly answered this question a couple days ago. Insurance companies are in business to make money, not to help people resolve claims. This case is more complicated than most, because it was not a typical car v. car case, but instead a car v. dog case. I don't know which... View More

A woman stole my pets and began abusing and killing them. She would not allow me on the property to retrieve them, refused to communicate, showed many photos of my animals dead and dying, covered in blood, etc.
I got an Ex Parte order to get my animals from her. The police stupidly gave... View More
answered on Jul 15, 2018
I don't know enough facts about your case, but I don't understand why the police, or an animal control agency, doesn't immediately arrest this woman for animal cruelty. Something doesn't make sense. You should get a lawyer ASAP.
The individual who created the partnership that transferred ownership to me in 2007 died soon afterward, and now, in 2018, any partnership papers, if there were any, are long lost. In addition, the partnership was never recorded with the Secretary of State. I now have a buyer for the property, but... View More
answered on Jul 13, 2018
Here is my GUESS. First of all, a partnership only exists if there are two or more partners in it. Were you one of the partners? If not, and the creator of the partnership died before title was transferred to you, and there was no other partners in the partnership, then the partnership ceased to... View More
The deceased person did not really own real estate. That property title document filled was signed fraudulent and notarized fraudulantley also. How to stop this and prove that next of kin did all this for his own gain?
Hi, This is related to the rental property, I was renting a property for 6 years and vacated on 1st July. Tenant is charging for full cleaning fee from my deposit. I wanted to know whether it's legal to deduct cleaning fee from the deposit amount in a situation where I was living in the house... View More
answered on Jul 13, 2018
A cleaning fee is supposed to cover any damaged property (such as dog or cat damage, worn carpets, broken doors, etc.). Rented property for six years nearly always shows some signs of wear and tear. Many landlords claim that they are entitled to keep the entire cleaning fee, even if they are not... View More
I bought a puppy and he got sick the next day, the vet told me that he wasn’t going to make it and had to be put to “sleep “ .
answered on Jul 13, 2018
That's a sad story. If you can prove that the puppy was sick when you purchased him/her, I think you should go to small claims court on this. Good Luck.
We are an apparel startup, that partnered with The DNA Group located in San Francisco on August 2017. We had come to an agreement regarding expected deadlines, and proper execution of our desired product. However, as time continued to pass we were given nothing, not even samples which is generally...

answered on Jul 13, 2018
If you can prove that the company intentionally violated agreements and botched samples, then you would have a good case for fraud and (assuming you have a contract with the company) breach of contract. However, it is often difficult to prove an act was intentional, rather than negligent. Most... View More
I was with my boyfriend for 11 months and when he gave me the ring he promised “that he will always be there for me”. Later I find out that he cheated. Can I sell the ring because there was no agreement to something like marriage
answered on Jul 12, 2018
It's probably up to you. If he said "this is a gift to you," then it is a completed action and it is your ring. On the other hand, if he simply gave it to you but did not say that it was a gift, he might be entitled to get it back. Hopefully the two of you can figure it out.
Yes I own house and am the "lender" the buyer makes mortgage payments to me monthly. There is still at least 35 months left on contract. The current residents have said they are buying it from the person who is currently buying it from me. Can i legally take property back?
answered on Jul 12, 2018
Let me get this straight: You own your home and you sold it to someone else using "sale by owner." The person who bought your house (and presumably now owns it) now wants to sell the house using a "sale by owner." It should be of no concern to you unless you have a trust deed... View More
Do I have to disclose my retirement accounts on the balance sheet they have requested from me?
answered on Jul 12, 2018
Generally speaking, a Judgment stays valid of many years, depending on the state where the judgment was entered. And, while not every creditor who wants to execute a judgment (collect on the judgment) is willing to go to another state to do so, they have the right under the "Sister States... View More
Any lawyers from NC?
For a cash land purchase in NC does the buyer required to have an attorney for every closing? In transactions would attorney prepare the deeds? But there is no title closing. The seller signs the deed and notary notarized the signature. What would the attorney do?... View More
answered on Jul 12, 2018
I don't know N. Carolina law, so I can't properly advise you. Under California law, an attorney does not have to be involved in the transaction at all. However, it is always helpful to have an attorney review the documents to be sure that everything is done properly. Some states (like... View More
A well is 8" inside my property line. The Seller (Decedent represented by Executor) claims the well is on their property despite three licensed surveyors mapping it on my property and recorded with LA County as such. The lawsuit has cost me a bundle. I counter sued for fraud because a Grant... View More
answered on Jul 12, 2018
No one can predict the outcome of a lawsuit such as this. I don't know who "OC" is. Unless the recorded documents are ambiguous as to whether or not the well is on your side of the property or not, that should be easy to figure out. I also don't understand your comment that... View More
