It's strange that the daughter received a bill. They may have sent the bill because they don't know whether or not the daughter is the personal representative of the mother's estate. If she has filed a probate petition and is the PR, the estate may be liable, but the daughter... View More

You have not indicated specifically what documents were signed, but unless a court order specifically prohibited the person from doing so, it is doubtful the person acted in contempt of court.

Those cases, from 2010 and 1987 respectively do rule that trees growing on a landowner's property are not nuisances justifying injunctive relief or damages. They state that what an adjoining landowner such as you should do is to trim the trees at your own expense.

If he left the property to you in his last will and testament, you don't need additional notarized document to that effect., because the will itself should have been notarized. A will doesn't take effect automatically; you should talk to an attorney about applying to the courts to have... View More

You are correct; if the pistol does not "expel a projectile by the action of an explosive", it is not considered a firearm, and weapons may be carried concealed in one's vehicle subject to certain conditions.

However, your plan to keep it "as a 'deterrent'... View More

If the agreement was signed the co-owner of the LLC, on behalf of the LLC, you could argue that the "partner" did not have authority to sign. Then, if you wish you might want to try to re-negotiate the terms. In any event, since it is an LLC, you are probably not individually liable.

Yes, you can either pay the judgment amount into the registry of the court or to the plaintiff's attorneys of record. You should ask for a satisfaction of judgment and, when you have that, you wouldn't have to complete and return the fact information sheet.

No. Florida Statute 723.058 (10 provides that

"No mobile home park owner ... shall make or enforce any rule, regulation, or rental agreement provision which denies or abridges the right of any mobile home owner or owner of a lot in a mobile home subdivision to sell his or her mobile... View More

Yes. The term "weapon" as used in the statutes regulating weapons and firearms, does not include a "common pocketknife, plastic knife, or blunt-bladed table knife". See Florida Statute 790.001 (20). Nevertheless, you probably shouldn't attempt to carry the knife in... View More

One can pay to stay in, for example, a bunkhouse with a number of beds in the same room and a common bathroom. The privacy expectation for that would obviously be different than if you rented a room with a private bathroom, kitchen, etc., or an apartment, or a house. In other words, if you... View More

The term "able bodied" as used in 10 USC Section 246 doesn't seem to be defined. Wiktionary defines "able-bodied" as "Having a sound, strong body; physically competent; robust; fit for service.", so it might depend upon why it would matter whether or not you are... View More

Not correct, strictly speaking. A lawyer is someone who is learned in the law. That would include someone who has a law degree. An attorney, on the other hand, is someone who is licensed to practice law in a particular state, and for that the person has to have passed a bar examination.

The phrase "not to possess intoxicants to excess" doesn't make much sense. If you possess alcohol but don't drink it, what would be excessive? I think it means that you should not CONSUME intoxicants to excess.

Assuming you are on probation, you probably could be... View More

Florida Statute 456.057 governs who shall have access to medical records. It allows a patient's "legal representative" such access. Assuming your stepmother qualifies as personal representative of your father's estate, she would probably be considered his "legal representative".

Contest the citation and explain what happened. You could try to explain to the authorities who are charging you, but you probably will have to go to the court hearing.
