You need a court order. The police will otherwise not interfere.

You could try, but I doubt a prosecutor would want to charge something like.
I was in a public park shooting spiders with a salt gun. It's a harmless toy that's not illegal to use in Michigan. A man was recording me and said he was going to report me to the police because he accused me of theft and vandalism. Apparently his belongings got stolen and the bathroom... View More

IF he actually contacts the police, the police will likely either try contacting you to see what you have to say or may decide not to pursue criminal charges - in which case you may never hear about this again.
She recently moved in with me due to health issues. I don’t feel she should be driving. I’ve been told if she hurts someone I can be held financially responsible. I’m in Michigan. She’s 84.
answered on Aug 2, 2024
To the extent you own the vehicle she may be driving, then yes.
answered on Aug 1, 2024
Absolutely. In fact, some departments and areas have license plate scanners mounted on vehicles they can use to just drive around a parking lot of run all plates almost instantly.
I am trying to find legal help in my area, I have sent out this problem to a couple of firms, no answer. Possibly I need to know what type of lawyer deals with this type of problem.

Are you part of an association? I imagine your best - or at least your first - course of action would be to address this with the association.
answered on Jul 24, 2024
Generally yes. It prevents unknown creditors from making a claim long after you believe the estate is resolved.
Friend of the Court has done nothing to enforce support except issue a bench warrant in 2017 which is currently active. I'd appreciate any thoughts regarding best course of action in regards to the felony arrears.

Custody - and parenting time - have nothing to do with child support obligations. If you know he has an active bench warrant, you can contact the local police department.
I am not speaking with my mother. When I was, she wouldn't have a will notarized or witnessed so I don't think she has one now. She is a hoarder and I am disabled, so I don't believe I can or should have to clean anything up after she passes. What are my options in Michigan?
answered on Jul 23, 2024
You are not obligated to do so. Does she own her residence? Eventually so other entity (e.g., bank, city, creditors) will take over, clean everything out, etc. But don't expect anything if that's the route you go.
I was in a relationship for over 8 years and engaged but never got married. During this relationship me and my partner bought a house but my name was not on the title and mortgage but I paid half towards everything i.e mortgage, utilities, property tax etc. We are now breaking up. Can you let me... View More

I'm afraid you don't have many good options outside of what you may be able to negotiate. Legally, you are a tenant. While you certainly are not obligated for the mortgage or taxes, you're also not entitled to any share of the equity. Had your name also been on the deed, then you... View More

You need a lot more than a hunch or suspicion of forgery. This would need to be proved, in court, through an expert handwriting analyst - which costs a lot of money that you, as the person thinking this happened, would have to pay.
So, consider whether it's worth it to fight this... View More
Me what that paperwork was. She is mismanaging the estate. Thanks.
answered on Jul 16, 2024
You'll probably want to engage an attorney to help you with this. Quite frankly, it's an uphill battle to have a personal representative removed. "Mismanagement" can take the form of simply making decisions you don't agree with or non-compliance with the court rules... View More

Your question is too vague to answer effectively. Are you talking political elections or a vote among owners?
answered on Jul 11, 2024
Lots of places - some better than others. Justia, Google Scholar, and a host of other sources are freely available online. Your local library may also have free access to Westlaw or Lexis Nexis.

You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney on this first, but ordinarily, you would need to declare you receive some form of financial assistance or income from him, which is different from the entirety of his social security.

You'll want to engage a real estate attorney quickly who can advise you whether and how to stop the closing. With the money and other legal stakes involved, this is not something you just do hoping your suspicions are accurate.
Is this legal? Could you point me to any relevant statutes too? Is the promise enforceable (nothing written so I guess no)?
answered on Jul 3, 2024
The friend can promise you anything, but for it to be enforceable in court, you would have to satisfy the statute of frauds that when it comes to land and real property, must be in writing for them to be enforceable.
My employment was terminated effective immediately (7/1/24). I was offered a severance package with a one time lump sum payment. It states in there though that "payment will be offset by the gross income earned by you from employment or self-employment during the time in which the payment is... View More

Possibly. It sounds like they certainly have the right to do so. Will they is another question.
answered on Jul 2, 2024
Probably. Call the cemetery and find out. They would probably pay you something so that they can sell those spaces to someone else.
answered on Jul 2, 2024
Yes. When it comes to real property, you're either an owner, tenant, or occupant. When you are not the owner, you can be evicted.
