Yes, he can. However, he will have trouble selling or mortgaging it until he reaches the Alabama age of majority, which is 19. Unless he is emancipated by the removal by a court of his disabilities of non-age, a court-appointed or court-approved guardian would have to file a report with the court... View More

That is one of the charges a friend of mine has been arrested for .
answered on May 29, 2017
A writ of arrest is a piece of paper authorizing the arrest of someone on what is usually a criminal charge. You don't state the nature of the charge, just that there exists a writ of arrest, so you have not provided enough information to permit an answer.

The answer is no, you can't. The deadline for filing a notice of appeal is jurisdictional. That means if it is not filed within the time alotted the court to which you are trying to appeal is without jurisdiction to hear the case and there is nothing that can be done about that. Officially,... View More

The answer to the question you asked is yes, the report can be amended after its in the system. That's commonly done with the charging process at all levels. As the officers gain more insight into the situation, they are not only free they are obligated to amend the charge to whatever is... View More
I drove 35mph home used all turned signals & stopped at stop sign. And drove home. Got charged with attempt to elude and wreck less endangerment? Do I need a lawyer for this charge?
answered on May 11, 2017
You're kidding, right? Of COURSE you need a lawyer. Go hire the best one you can find. Its cheaper than defending yourself and losing and THEN hiring a lawyer to clean up the mess you will have made.
This sounds like a winnable case, assuming your recitation of the relevant facts is... View More

If you mortgage the house the lender is going to require that you provide mortgagee's title insurance. You are not likely to be able to find a title insurer that will insure a mortgage which is signed by any owner under a power of attorney. Years ago you could, but not now. They found they...

You have a right to see your father's will. Hire a good lawyer. He or she will demand that the widow's attorney provide you with a copy. If they refuse your attorney can file a case in the Probate Court for an order that the widow submit the will for probate.

No, you can't. All banks and mortgage companies require all owners of the property to sign the mortgage.

You're out of luck. You can't buy a car from a dealer anywhere without having to sign an arbitration agreement. You signed it. You're stuck with it.
Your damages are minimal, if any. You thought you were buying a car with 4,000 miles on it and you got a car with 4,000... View More
He's been locked up since 2009. And he even testified against his uncle who was the gunman. Is there any pro bono lawyer in Alabama that can help.

This is really, really hard to answer definitively. Impossible, really, but I can give you a little bit of an understanding of what you're up against.

Property is occupied. Agent stated the seller has 3 days to vacate the property after closing. I thought I took possession on the closing date and the seller has moved.
answered on May 3, 2017
Normally the seller vacates residential property on the closing date, and the buyer takes it over empty. Of course, the terms of the contract can modify what's normal. Look at your contract. If it says they get three days to vacate then they get three days to vacate. If it doesn't,... View More

The answer will depend on more facts than you've included, but while there might - emphasis on might - be some sort of circumstance that would justify a driver going around a pedestrian in a crosswalk at a stop sign, the answer is highly unlikely to be anything other than "probably... View More

I have a have-a-heart trap that I could try to catch him with. If successful can I release it anywhere away from my neighborhood or in some wooded area?
answered on Apr 24, 2017
Interesting question. I know of no reason why you couldn't do that, except that your use of the word "anywhere" is a concern. It would not be wise to do it just anywhere. For example, releasing it in a residential area or near a school would be a bad idea. The best location would... View More

Yes. You each have an equal interest in the property. The deed can be written in one of two ways. Well, three ways, actually.
It can read that you hold title as tenants in common, in which case each of you holds an undivided one half interest. Under this form of ownership, either of... View More
