I also have messages from messenger on Facebook of her saying that she falsified the charges. She didn't want to go down there and attempt to take them off because she didn't want to get charges of falsifying of a police report. She's also a felon so I don't understand how she... View More

Husband needs to hire a good attorney now. He will need to lower the bond if possible, and definitely prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. Victim might not show up, but Courts usually give the DA 2 0r 3 times to get his witness to testify. Do not talk to the victim/witness again.

If a probated will gave him the remainder and you the life estate, then both derive title from the same instrument. And you should not lose possession. But was will probated? If not, you have no rights as nephew might be the sole heir. Hire an AL attorney to represent you.

Nothing illegal about a Affidavit of Heirship which is true a that time. You may be able to file a copy of the will and probate it in solemn form, but it will be difficult and expensive. Unless there is alot of acreage, pursuing an interest in the property may not be worth it. If you do not... View More

Something is not right. Either you took out an OP, a civil action, or the State charged Defendant with Domestic Assault., a crime. Written Interrogatories are in civil actions, not criminal prosecutions. It sounds like you filed an Order of Protection and now you have to put on proof.... View More
My wife and I recently bought a home on her grandparents property. Shortly after moving in we purchased two puppies, but now my wife's grandparents are telling us to get rid of the puppies because her grandfather is afraid of big dogs. Are they allowed to do this?

If you do not own the land, then you do not own the property. You are a tenant of some type, and that building/mobile home is personal property. Owners can file a Detainer Warrant (for virtually any reason) and run you off, such that you probably abandon the home. You have to keep the... View More

That marriage will give spouse rights. Why did your lawyer not get you a life estate/remainder deed at the divorce hearing? You might record a certified copy of the divorce decree in the County of the house, but the surviving spouse might try to ignore it. A contempt action probably does not... View More

If the Will was Probated, then it is in some file of a Court with Probate Jurisdiction. Start with the County where Decedent died and look for the Probate Court. On occasion a copy of a Will is filed as a muniment of title in the property records.

If you are at General Sessions, then you make a Motion To Dismiss as all elements not shown. If Indicted, then you may have to try it and make a Rule 29 Motion at the end of the State's Case. Hire a competent attorney.

It is up to to the DA to decide what criminal statute he prosecutes under. Do not help him put you in jail. It is up to your lawyer to make a Motion For Judgment Of Acquittal or maybe (a big maybe), a Bill of Particulars.

If a decedent does not own a property at his death, then it does not go to his heirs or devisees. Search the title and see if Mother owned the property. If Mom owned it, then eject the occupant. Your lawyer should have told you what the assets were when you did the inventory.
It was a verbal agreement that she would remain in the home until she passed, or no longer wanted to live there. I recently discovered that she transferred ownership of the property to her son? Can I take this to probate court or has to too much time passed?

You are going to need to hire an attorney to draft that Trust. It is complicated, but you probably do not need a SC licensed attorney. Most importantly, you need a new Trustee, which may be difficult to find. The new Trust should appoint the new Trustee, and you may need to revoke your prior... View More

You will need to hire an attorney to cure the title defect. A title search will be required first and then the attorney can analyze how to cure the title defect. You should have known about the title problem a long time ago. Some defects cannot be cured except by lengthy time periods under... View More

I do not know what a 1-8 split is. But boyfriend needs an attorney now. The retaliation charge alone will merit a large bond if one is set. Any charge, not just a conviction, is a violation of probation. So he will probably at least complete the 4 year Sentence incarcerated, and may get... View More

The surveyor has given you his opinion of what you actually own. If you disagree, hire another surveyor for his plat. If it looks good, hire an PA attorney to file a Boundary Line Dispute which is a difficult, expensive Declaratory Judgment Action.

You do not have to make yourself available to receive the summons and complaint. But you cannot attack the process server either. And intentionally avoiding service gives the plaintiff grounds to serve you by publication. If you get served, then hire an attorney. If not, forget about it.

Purchasers/Sellers breach real estate contracts daily, with few consequences. Usually only earnest money or a real estate commission are the only actual penalties. But a Specific Performance action is a possibility. Breaching Parties always take a chance.
