If the assets have the value you are stating, then it is worth actually having a lawyer review everything. However, based solely on your post, your stepchildren inherit nothing if their mother dies first. However, you can do a trust, giving your wife lifetime income, to insure she does not pass...

No. If there is equity, the bank will not take less, and you will be paying default interest, attorneys fees and other costs. The credit cards are different as there is really no way to collect so they take a good deal.

If you do not know what court you think entered it, you can run a credit report. You may need a private investigator to do it.

Anytime a corporation appears in court, it must have a lawyer. It is a statute. There is an exception for small claims. Thus, it is not "unheard" of. I am not sure why you are in court. Membership in the Methodist governing body is a private matter, so there must be other issues here.

You may be in breach of the contract, and sued for what you owe. You would have to have a reason for not doing it. Stopping payment of the check may have been wrongful.

One must comply with a court order, or face contempt.

You can reimburse yourself as you go, but the disbursements are not approved and subject to clawback until you have a final accounting approved, or waivers from all parties. Your lawyer should know this. If you do not have one, and money is tight, it might be a good idea to have a lawyer.

Just alert them to the death. A copy of the death certificate would be a plus.

It depends on who owns it now. You would need to be formally evicted by the buyer. If you do not own it at all, you have a moment of leverage to ask for money to relocate, which will facilitate the sale. You can hire a lawyer to look into it for a small fee.

The answers you got are right. When you say he "owns" it, are you sure only his name is on the current deed? If there is no will (which could leave it to anyone), and you are next of kin, you would inherit it. There is no tax due unless the building is worth millions. A bequest is not... View More

Your child has "special needs". As such he needs what is called an IEP. Does he have one? Also, I am not sure what school you intend on having your child attend. You may need a lawyer, but you definitely need a plan of action. More facts need to be known, like where on the spectrum... View More

It depends if you are an heir of the property and what you want to happen. It also depends if there is any equity. I would need much more information.

I agree if someone wants you to sign something, you must have something of value that can be sold. More investigation would need to be done to determine what value to place on it, and whether you should cooperate.

If she is still alive have her do a will. If she is dead then no.

There is always a reason. You most likely withdrew uncleared funds on a check that bounced. However, more facts are needed.

There is no way to collect an American debt in Italy. Eventually, judgments will be entered in the USA. If you are never returning, there is no worry. If you come back, you can file bankruptcy then. With no jurisdiction in any American district, you cannot file bankruptcy here.

The age of the will is irrelevant. You have unlimited time to probate, but if the sisters come in and say there is no will, they can take the property from you. So, file the will ASAP so you stake your claim.

If it is a student loan from NYS, a judgment will be recorded. If it is something else, the NY attorney general is counsel to all State universities and they will sue you.

It depends on the terms of the trust itself, but generally, there are forms to be created and signed by all interested parties (trustees, beneficiaries). It may require a Supreme Court order.

While it is clearly a default to change owners, the mortgage company will not care as long as it gets paid. Also, it is impossible to remove someone from a deed without their knowledge. The only way to be removed from title is to sign a deed, which is an acknowledged document.
