Good question, probably belongs in the Trademarks category since Trademarks and Servicemarks are the same set of rules. Your question would boil down to whether an objective consumer would be confused by the domain, if they would be then it would potentially be an infringement. That said, a good... View More

Depends on the review, but they are probably seeking damages for defamation and harm to their business reputation. These are fact intensive and "truth" is an absolute defense. You need to get a lawyer to defend yourself or your company.
I tried to correct a birth certificate but received a denial letter from NYS Dept. of Health saying I need a supreme court order. The letter is dated 11/5, is there a statue of limitations?

While I'd need to see the actual letter to give the most accurate advice / opinion, I can say this. An Article 78 is essentially an appeal of a decision of an NY or NYC agency such as the Dept. of Health / Dept. of Vital Statistics, in order to successfully appeal the decision by the dept. /...

I know I'm going to sound crazy on this one.

Can... View More

You're likely an employee at will, meaning every day you show up voluntarily and you can be terminated with or without cause. When your company gets taken over presumably the new employer will immediately implement their existing policies and you will not have the benefit of prior policies.... View More
property valued at $171,000. If sister gives $85,500 of her share of estate to brother and she retains 100% of property is it considered a gift?

No, it shouldn't be as long as it is properly documented. A gift would be if there was no value exchanged, here there is clearly value (in fact equal / identical value) being exchanged.

There may have been an action for specific performance to sell to you, but if your lawyer backed out of the deal without your knowledge or consent then it sounds like you potentially have a malpractice action against him/her. That said, I'm highly skeptical that there was no "time... View More
My mother's estate has a few bank accounts, some bank accounts had joint ownership with any one of her 3 children. In a signed addendum to her will, she explained how to distribute the bank account assets between her 3 children (50%/25%/25%) "regardless of the name on the account." I... View More

Depends on whether the supplement to the will was valid, I would argue that it likely is if it is referenced to the will and incorporated into the will by reference.

Not really. The bank should be advised of your parents death and you and your sister are under the rules of intestacy most likely the owners as tenants in common of the property. If you want to sell it you should start an administrative proceeding to get letters of administration in your name and... View More

If you're purchasing the assets with your own money there is NO estate or gift tax implication so long as it's reasonably tied to the fair market value for the assets. Furthermore, there is a lifetime exemption in the estate / inheritance tax at the federal level for $5.4M in gifts from... View More
My mother has an LLC with property owned by it. If I were to purchase 90% of the interest in the LLC, would that asset than be 90% mine?

Yes. If you buy the LLC interest you own a percentage of the LLC and it's assets, the LLC also may have liabilities so perform your due diligence thoroughly. A decent attorney can assist you in this transaction.

Those aren't defenses.
And if you do will there be any legal repercussions? And if you are in foreclosure and the bank didn't know about the 2nd heir, how does that affect things?

You need to get things corrected in the surrogates court and request that the Supreme Court handling the foreclosure action stay that case pending resolution in the Surrogates Court.

Since your Uncle was Ordered to sell and now refuses it sounds to me like another Order from the court can be sought holding him in contempt for violating the first Order...
