I am in NY. I was at a dog park alone with my medium mixed rescue dog and he was triggered by a puppy coming in. While we (the puppy’s owner and I) tried to break up the two, my dog bit the lady’s leg. We separated the dogs and an ambulance came while I waited. A Police report was filed. I... Read more »
I suggest you have her sign a General Release and agree to pay any medical bills not covered by her insurance.
We just wanted to know if it's in our best interests to vacate as soon as possible. I assume the landlord will get a much higher rent since it's rent stabilized. Can the landlord charge double rent, i.e., to my mom's estate and to the new tenant? I don't think so, but just thought i'd confirm.
No. The landlord can only recover lost rent. If he rents it out it is not lost.
We are fostering a special needs cat from a veterinary clinic which was also my fiancé’s employer. The Foster agreement was meant to lead into an adoption. However due to circumstances that were unavoidable she resigned her position. Now there is conflict with clinic which might lead to them... Read more »
Most fostering agreements do not contain provisions for ownership. Any legal rights that you may potentially have will be contained in the fostering agreement or through written or oral statements made by the employer.

That seems like a very long time for you to not be informed of the delay.
No estate account and no executor has been appointed
The account must have a named beneficiary. Upon death of the owner, it is supposed to be transferred to the beneficiary.
I’m in desperate need of help. Some key facts are as follows:
• Husband’s Brother Dies in Hospital in December 2015

If you husband is a beneficiary of his brother’s estate, his wife (you if you were married at time of death) and children are entitled to his share since he survived his brother.
The executor of my mother's estate says that estate expenses come out of the residuary estate, and since I'm the beneficiary of 65% of the residuary estate (and my brother is beneficiary of 35% of the residuary estate) that the estate expenses will have to be paid 65% by me and only 35%...

Any estate expenses are paid before distributions. I’m not sure what you mean by will’s expenses.
It’s a grantors trust established in NYS
For tax purposes, a revocable trust is considered property of the grantor. Grantor’s ssn is normally used.
My grandfather accidentally hit someone's dog the other day, and left the scene (which he's already been ticketed for), and the dog didn't make it. The dog's owners tried getting him to pay the vet bill for the services the dog recieved before passing. Does my grandfather have... Read more »
He should speak with his car insurance company. However, I believe that he is liable from what you have said.
After settling for $100,000 $50,000 was left from bills and attorneys so there was nothing left for me and my sister
No.
I am both an administrator and the sole beneficiary of my late father's (small) estate in NY. I've already got letters of administration from the surrogate court. I paid funeral expenses two months ago with my own funds. After I distribute the remaining funds to myself, I need to fill out... Read more »
It is understood that this refers to funds that still need to be disbursed. I suggest you call the clerk of the Surrogates Court to see what they recommend. You can add the words “as administrator” to be clear.
Trustees are different from Administrators or Executors of estates. Trustees of trusts get an annual commission. Administrators and Executors are not paid annually. There is a schedule of fees under the law. The answer to your question depends upon whether this is a trust or an estate.
Yes. But the Revocable living trust should provide for a lifetime asset protection trust to protect it from his wife, creditors and others.
Person died in north carolina and resided there 2 years
Property and residence in new york 80 years
You must first petition the court in North Carolina. Once you are given the power to administer the estate there, you would apply for ancillary letters to be given the power to sell or transfer property in New York. If most of the property is in New York, you should speak to a New York attorney... Read more »

Lawyer found my father to notify but he has passed now lawyer wants us to sign papers but did not explain what they were for. Just told us... Read more »
Without seeing the paperwork, no one can properly advise you. Normally, when someone files a petition to be granted power to administer an estate, they ask potential distributees to consent to their appointment.
I licensed him under my name and I’m trying to find somewhere to microchip him under my name as well. My mom has paid all his vet bills because I didn’t have a way to but I have a job now and a way to pay for his medical needs when it comes to that time. I just want to know if there’s... Read more »
Dogs are supposed to be licensed in New York State. That can be used as further proof of ownership. You will only need to prove ownership if the issue is litigated.
I owned a 25-pound poodle so there was no shed, no damage to the building, only slight barking from people passing in the building. There was never a problem with the dog before but now that he's passed and I took the time to grieve about it for a few weeks. I'd like a new poodle no... Read more »
Does the building have a no pets policy? Is it in your lease agreement? If it is not contained in written form they can’t just say no.
The dogs were there since this Feb. Daughter in a family shelter. My grnd-dautr was taking 1 dog to start college Mon.
If your daughter is the legal owner, she can call the police to make a report. The police may or may not be helpful. If they are not, she may have to bring an action in court to recover them.
I recently purchased a dog with my money and my name on the microchip but my friend fill out the paperwork while I stepped away for a moment, without realizing that she put her name on the paperwork.
I’m not sure what paperwork you referring to. If she is listed as the purchaser on the bill of sale then she will be able to claim ownership. If you’re concerned, you can sign an agreement with her establishing you as the owner.
Is that legal? It’s like they’re harassing us. The dog is very mellow and wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Is the company refusing to renew your homeowners policy? If so, you may have recourse.
