At this point I've been referred to New York business law people for my inquiry. According to the Vipre company (computer security software) it was against their policy for me to buy a lifetime license from the original owners. I've looked at the EULA and it says that a license is only... View More

I don't understand how a successor in interest (usually a purchaser) can go back in time and state that a lifetime license purchased from the original owner is invalid. I would start with that.

We closed last Friday, and bc the money came to him today he thinks he has 7 days from today because his lawyer keeps repeating it. Can he bar us entry? Can we demand keys? Make him leave sooner? Looking for options

Prior to closing of title, the Purchaser usually inspects the property the day before. If Seller is still in possession, that should have been addressed prior to closing. I have my doubts whether this transaction was handled properly.

Thinking buy a multi family with my partner using fha loan. Hopefully both person in loan. What should I write on the ride to protect myself in case separate ? What I should not to sign for loan and contract? Thank you.
answered on Feb 29, 2024
You and your partner should NOT have the same attorney and the attorney should know this is prohibited. There is an inherent conflict of interest.

You could purchase a book from a number of sources or hire a company to do the research for you, or both.

By signing rental agreement will this hurt my court case for breach of contract
answered on Feb 8, 2024
Yes, signing a rental agreement after signing a purchase agreement will create problems for you. You can sue for "specific performance," forcing the Seller to sell to you.

I have a simple agreement with my independent contractor to provide services on my behalf. However, they are extremely soliciting my client and harming my business in different way. How can a non solicitation notice legally introduced to the independent contractor given the fact that by all means... View More

It sounds like you're trying to slip something past the IC, such that the IC will be bound without signing. Not recommended.

Do I still have rights to my mother’s company and profits?
answered on Jan 21, 2024
Possibly. Your mother's interest in the business may have passed to you upon her death.

The business loan is not perfected against my home and does not reference my property directly.

Yes, it's possible. It's in the discretion of the lender.

Defendant was served May 2023. Defendant is in default. This is a lawsuit against an attorney for breach of contract due to no legal representation, lack of fiduciary duty and misconduct.
answered on Jan 10, 2024
Lawsuits against attorneys are usually for legal malpractice, even if the claim is breach of contract. Still, it would be very unusual for an attorney to default, if properly served.

My bank is declining to do this. I see there is language in the statute that requires language in the modifications section of the POA that expressly provides this permission for already-existing accounts. However, I am opening a brand new account, and I interpret the language in the statute to... View More

Very often banks refuse to comply with legal documents that they should honor. A POA is just one of them. Wrongfully, they will insist on a certified copy of a court order, submitted by an attorney.

I got a lawyer and paid off the full amount. I also took my son off the account. I still wish to do business with that bank because I have multiple building and business in that bank. How would this affect my business and my bank relationship. What are my next steps and what will happen?
answered on Dec 2, 2023
I'm not understanding what amount had to be paid off and why. If everything is now straightened out, what would be the issue of continuing with the bank?

Now she changed her mind and wants to sell the house, Can I be force to sell the house or what are my options?
answered on Nov 29, 2023
The "verbal agreement" is unenforceable. Had to be written. If no settlement, a lawsuit for partition forces the sale of the property.

It took the state a year and a half to process the PLLC paperwork. Meanwhile, to pay the bills, I did contract work (1099) through other businesses. Now that's the bulk of my income. Since that's already taxed, it's hard to know how to set up bookeeping.
answered on Nov 2, 2023
Talk with two or three CPAs, get some options, and then speak with an attorney. You should be able to obtain all thus in free consultations.
