Your lease is controlling. There's no law that addresses your specific issue.

Do you need one? No. Should you have an attorney prepare a loan document? Yes, if the amount is worth it.
Remember the cardinal rule about loaning people money: **Never loan to anyone money that you cannot afford to lose**.
I had an attorney that was going to handle my case pro Bono and the judge said that they could not do it because I was not a resident of the state of Michigan but how can that be true if I am in court in that state my lawyer would have to be licensed in that state

You can be hauled into court in Michigan even if you are not a Michigan resident. If you are not a resident, according to the judge, you are not eligible to have a court appointed attorney.
I did not have insurance at the time due to a lapse during a job change. I am being sued for $40k in medical bills but I believe the school should be responsible.
answered on Apr 2, 2024
As between you and the medical providers, you are responsible. The school.district might be liable to you, but the medical providers have no action against the school district. See an attorney.

A hotel is not a rehabilitative facility. Nobody knows what this lease says; you need to take it to a lawyer.

Was this a trial? Evidentiary hearing? Non evidentiary hearing? These things matter.

Title determines ownership. Not insurance. See an attorney to determine your course of action under Louisiana law.

It's is very possible that the attorney intends to file a motion striking one or more of your affirmative defenses. Local rules require that an effort be made to resolve the matter before filing a motion. You are not required to talk to him, but he is required to make the effort to resolve the... View More

No. This is not possible in a deed of any kind. This sounds like everyone involved is trying to avoid using lawyers, which means that nobody knows what they are doing. It all seems so simple, but it isn't. I recommend that all person who wants to deed his or her property to someone else, hire... View More

The decedent's estate is responsible. Whether there are any assets in the decedent's estate makes the question somewhat academic.
to reduce my just property value? if so how do i object? thank you
answered on Feb 5, 2024
Can they ask for the returns? Sure. They can ask for anything they want. And you can object on the basis that what they seek is not calculated to lead to admissible evidence. Under that standard, they may have a legitimate reason for your tax returns. If the other party is represented by a lawyer,... View More

There is no requirement that you file a written response to a motion. The Court will hear your response to it at the hearing. Even though you don't need to file an objection, nothing prevents you from doing so. Also, drafting out your objection will help you determine whether you have a valid... View More

Are you paying rent, or is there an agreement for you to pay rent (makes a huge difference). If you are not on thr lease and you have no agreement to.pay rent, you need to.leave. end of story

Not necessarily. The creditor can tell the debt collector something like "don't bother me with offers of less than 50%" or "regardless of what the debtor offers, don't bother transmitting offers if the debtor cannot pay in one payment".
The Credit Card debt is for roughly 9K. It appears the last payment (per credit report) was April 2022 thus we are aware SOL expiration would not apply. We are looking to challenge the debt buyer’s burden of proof as it relates to legitimacy in rightful ownership of this debt in addition to... View More

You are asking an online attorney to give you legal advice for someone else's benefit. That's the unauthorized practice of law, were someone on here to do that. I recommend that your friend retain an attorney.
In 2016 I gave my child a vehicle. They were instructed to register it and get insurance. They did neither. Instead they were rear-ended, causing them to rear-end another while at a dead stop. In 2017 my child and myself were sued. 3 months later the suit was dropped, I assumed because my child... View More

You are on the hook. Whatever you are paying apparently isn't reducing the principal. I fail to understand why plaintiff's attorney will not provide you a balance. What they won't do is send you a monthly statement.

Doesn't sound like a wrongful arrest. The fact that the charges were dropped doesn't mean the arrest was not valid. Moreover, the officer had a valid reason for coming on to the property.
