Claiming to visit neighbor who has easement for driveway purposes, they went down my driveway behind house and photographed unlicensed vehicles on my property only visible from the easement. Can it be used as evidence? Thank you

They don't have a fenced in yard or any signs that say private property.

It sounds like you may be trespassing on their property. For a definitive answer you need to sit down with a local criminal defense attorney to evaluate the specifics of your situation.
Best of luck.

Your question is somewhat vague. The audio siren is not a per se requirement of a traffic stop.
only asset is home and only sibling has no interest in property. Have been advised to do quick claim deed at end but am wondering why not advised to do a disclaimer or renunciation now as would this not require bond?
answered on Sep 20, 2021
Disclaimers do not avoid probate. A disclaimer means that the heir who is disclaiming is deemed to have predeceased the person that he or she is inheriting from. The next person set to inherit under Ohio's Rule of descent and distribution would then inherit the property.

I would suggest reviewing the contract between the Owner of the Building and the property management company to see what the terms of service require. Beyond that, you would need to evaluate the particular circumstances to see if there is good cause for the delay. If not, there may be a breach of... View More
I'm curious because I would like to care for dogs in my home and wanted to know what the city deemed appropriate for one household. I figured if I knew the number it may help my application for a variance or special use permit. I personally would never house more than 5 dogs at one time. Thank you!

There are multiple factors here that need to be considered based on the facts you provided. I suggest sitting down with a business or real estate attorney in or adjacent to Westerville. For your reference, the City Ordinances can be found at the URL below.... View More

I suggest contacting the landlord and coordinating a time to obtain your things. You can also reach out to law enforcement as they often act as a peacekeeper to ensure no issues arise while you are retrieving your things.

No question is asked here. For guidance on your specific situation you will need to sit down with an attorney to review the facts in detail. There are numerous additional factors that will need to be evaluated to determine what rights you may have.
Best of luck.
The mother paid mortgage, son-in-law and daughter paid all utilities, maintained home while also giving her care. What rights does daughter have? Daughter does have a brother who lives elsewhere

Unless the home was in a Trust, or there was a transfer on death beneficiary for the residence, it will have to go through probate. The heirs at law will be the ones to inherit the home. See Section 2105.06 of the Ohio Revised Code for breakdown. (link below). If someone else gets the home some... View More
Does the Ohio rule of Descent and Distribution, code 2105.06 mean that it will automatically go to the living spouse without having to go thru probate? The same does not apply to lineal descendants such as a child, correct?
Thank you Andrew Popp for your previous help.
answered on Sep 13, 2021
No problem. There is a separate statute for that. See Section 2106.18 of the Ohio Revised Code. (link below) You can usually accomplish this by going to the BMV as long as the value does not exceed $65,000 under current law.

Unless there was a TOD on file for the vehicle, then it will require probate in order to transfer the title to the van. The vehicle will be transferred to whomever is named in the Will, or whom is required under Ohio's rule of descent and distribution if there is no Will. See Section 2105.06... View More
I was checked in and taken back to the pre-op area.i had changed clothes and in the bed when i was taken to another area of the hospital and informed that my surgery was canceled because they did not have the right equipment there.
answered on Sep 10, 2021
I do not see an actionable claim based upon these facts. If you were harmed or charged for this you may have some minimal recourse, but it sounds like the hospital did the right thing overall. Maybe if you traveled a long way and incurred significant costs, the hospital should reimburse you if... View More

Doing drugs is technically not a crime. Possession of the drug is a crime. That being said, if you were on some type of probation etc. that prohibited the use of any drugs then that could stand. Whether or not the prosecutor can prove that you had possession of a controlled substance or if you... View More

It all depends on the details. You need to review your terms of service agreement and get an answer to "why." You will need to retain an attorney to evaluate the documents and circumstances in more detail to determine what rights you have, and how to get your money.

Meaning is that legal for him to be sitting there? Does law enforcement need permission to be parked in driveway of private property in Ohio? Also was half mile from where limit posted I would have been legal. And I had no traffic, clear road conditions
Done and you took a razor blade and undid some of your work could I be charged with a property damage charge and how do I go about getting paid.
answered on Aug 30, 2021
Yes, you can be charged with property damage. In order to get paid you would need to file a lawsuit against the friend. Breach of contract would be the cause of action.
Best of luck.
I can no longer afford legal representation at the current time. I had to let my attorney go last week. Having a Deposition ASAP is in my best interest. Without counsel, I could use guidance on where to begin and how to best proceed.

The Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure are the place to begin. See the link below:

You need to go through probate. As it stands you do not have the legal authority to sell your father's tools and household goods. Doing so now can expose you to criminal and/or civil penalties. It's not necessarily about needing a lawyer, although you probably do, it's about doing... View More
