I signed a contract in Arizona for replacement windows and doors on a Wednesday. The company claims the 3-day right to cancel ends on Saturday, but I believe it should be Monday, excluding weekends. Does the cancellation period include weekends, or should it be calculated as business days?

44-5002(A) states:
A. In addition to any right otherwise to revoke an offer, the buyer may cancel a home solicitation sale until midnight of the third... View More

I would like to know if I am legally obligated to cover ongoing medical debts incurred by my adult homeless relative, who has refused to live with their elderly parents who are residents of Ohio and do not have much money. The person in need is not eligible for Medicaid or other health benefits.

answered on Feb 14, 2025
The answer, unfortunately, is "it depends."
You described the other person as an adult "relative," but you didn't indicate what your relationship is to that person. Are you their parent, child, grandparent, third cousin? The degree of relationship may matter,... View More

Please see a local real estate lawyer and ask them to give you an informed opinion after obtaining and reviewing all of the facts.
