You need to contact a business lawyer in your area to discuss exactly what you mean by "an investment LLC" and what "stipulations" you want. It's possible that you're trying to do something you need to be licensed for, and/or for which you need to register the securities being sold.

You'll need to contact a lawyer in your area who does this. Because LLCs can be so flexible in how they're operated, and in separating the ownership from the right to run the company and the right to profits, LLC operating agreements can be either pretty simple or very complex, depending...

I'm having an issue of where a place that I used to live at, and apartment complex including the management have been spreading lies about me being bipolar, crazy and dangerous.

It's unclear why you are worried about eviction, or exactly what's happening. You get evicted for not complying with the lease, not because people are spreading lies about you.
If the lies are believed and you can prove damages, you might have a case, but filing a suit is not... View More
I'm currently renting a house. I've had issues w/ the water bill since 2017. The water bill has never been sent out monthly. It is random. The mmgt co and the water co has changed 3 or 4 times. Initially, they were having accounting issues. When she left everything was a mess regarding... View More

I can't tell who is providing the water service from what you wrote. I'm sure you can complain to the HOA by contacting whoever is in charge of the HOA, but that may not solve your issue. Also, since it sounds like the owner is somehow involved, you'll want to check your lease to... View More
My Father has mineral rights in TX but passed away in CA. Does the affidavit of heirship mean that his monthly royalties will be divided between spouse and children? I am trying to see if there's a way for my mom to get the monthly royalties where it will not be divided between Her and her children.

An affidavit of heirship simply identifies all the heirs of a person - it doesn't divide the property.
What those heirs will receive out of an estate depends on whether there was a will, what the will provides, whether the property is separate or community, real estate or personal... View More

Your daughter's employer is not required to ask you for permission to search your daughter at her job.

Sorry, no one can give advice to you about your specific situation - which none of us know, and should not be posted online here or anywhere else. You need to speak to a criminal defense lawyer in your area. If you can't afford a lawyer, ask to talk to a public defender.

No, having custody custody of a child is not the same as adoption.
We love each other I really don’t want nothing to happen to him , and I’m aware the consent age in Texas is 17 years old so I was the one who decided to have sexual intercourse with him.

What will happen is that he'll be responsible for child support, assuming you have the child.
I do not have guardianship or POA. The visit will be for a few months. I am worried about a financial eldery abuse with my step brother if we stay in her home state.
answered on Aug 20, 2021
Assuming your mother is competent and is going with you willingly, neither a guardianship nor a power of attorney is required. If you want to handle her financial affairs, she must be competent and sign a power of attorney allowing that.
She lives in Lubbock TX and I live in Austin TX .
answered on Aug 20, 2021
She can either execute a new POA for you (which may have different provisions than what she put on the one she gave to your father), or she can sign a new POA with both of you.
We are still working on the final touches on a full home renovation. I was going to just let my spouse keep the house, but the appraisal does not show the massive amount of money spent on the house. I saw cost basis but is there a way to recoup that additional money?

You might want to address this question to your divorce lawyer. If you're dealing with property worth over $500k, and don't have a lawyer, start by getting one.
answered on Aug 18, 2021
Because the court ordered it to be done that way, which is standard.
answered on Aug 18, 2021
Contact the court clerk for the court that issued the divorce, give them the case number, and ask how to order a certified copy of the decree.
Proof of Incorrect information, No access to a Lease that was electronically signed, Threatened to evict with no probable cause, does not answer questions, and does not work with tenants nor do they accept the evidence when the tenant shows proof on time of rental payments.
answered on Aug 18, 2021
Sorry, none of that is harassment, and "probable cause" only relates to criminal matters. The landlord can threaten to evict any time you're not in compliance with the lease, and can follow through on that threat. Even if they lose the eviction case, their threat of eviction... View More
Is this a criminal and/or civil matter? The collateral in question was the key to my storage unit which contained $30k-$40k worth of personal property. When no loan was ever produced I asked for key to be returned the day that the offer of a loan was proposed. They refused. I found out 2 weeks... View More

Ultimately, the situation could result in both civil and criminal penalties. Make a police report to start with. You may also want to consult with a lawyer about what would be needed for the civil claim, what evidence you have regarding what was taken, who took it, and the value of the property.
Mother makes the daughter feel bad for leaving her. So the daughter won't go with the father. Police have been involved but won't tear daughter from mother. Understandable, but it is court ordered. So, can the police issue a contempt ticket on spot or do we need to go to court?
answered on Aug 17, 2021
No, police don't issue "contempt tickets." Only the judge can hold someone in contempt.
Can I sue my landlord. My daughter along with another daughter was caring for my husband while I was on vacation neither one of them lived with me at the time or on my lease. In the rental portal the landlord put that it is me that crashed into the neighbors apartment and that the check to pay for... View More

It's not clear that you have any damages. Without damages, you have no valid case. You might try talking to your landlord and see if they will correct the notation.

I don't understand your question. Your roommate paid someone else to apply for rental assistance, apparently received it, and is threatening to sue you for it? If your agreement with your roommate is to pay 1/2 of the rent, do that.
