Me and my wife are the only defendants in the lawsuit. My business is not listed as defendant in the Lawsuit.
Can the Plaintiff ask question about business, ask for discovery about the business
they can ask, and you would have to assert the proper objections. it doesn't sound like you have an attorney and if they do have an attorney and you do not then you need to hire one because the procedural aspects and specifics of a lawsuit can affect the overall outcome of a case.
JAMS and AAA are the top names.
My parents have passed on this last August and my sister is now the trustor. If I were to buy her out and take ownership of the house prior to February 15, 2021 would I qualify for a reassessment exclusion? It would not be our primary residence.
you need to speak to a trust administration attorney. if your parents already passed, the trust itself governs the transfer of properties and given your stated dates, you may not be subject to prop 19 but you need to speak to an attorney regarding the specifics to know your options.
if there is a binding arbitration clause in the contract, then yes, you can file a motion to compel arbitration.

Generally, the dealer has 10 days from the date of purchase to inform you whether financing went through or not, and if they don't tell you within those 10 days, then the dealer becomes your finance company. If the dealer does tell you within 10 days of signing the contract, then the dealer... Read more »
I'm in default but have learned that the contractor needed a separate permit to perform the work so that the work would be reviewed by the city and signed off accordingly.

liable for what? why wouldn't the dealer report the purchase to insurance to protect their interest?
owe late fees and won't give us the keys.
not sure what the question here is. also not clear if you purchased a new house or are renting one. different laws apply and therefore lawyers don't always practice in both arears of law. maybe rewrite and report your post and question with more information and details.
After an OSC, the court ordered the sale of a residence in October. The homestead granted was $75K. If a BK is filed in December and later dismissed in January/February, does the Judgment Creditor need to file a new OSC in order to get another court order - or is the original OSC restated? The...

I do not think the contract package is legit, because during the process, the broker always mess up the docu sign contracts and I worry if there is something shady in the contract. Especially during the Covid time eviction is impossible I am really worried.
