The sell and distribution of proceeds would be controlled by statute. The statutes that deal with this are more complex- and this is a simplification: If someone is buying the entity - creditor's claims would be dealt with first. After paying creditors if there are funds left over - any... View More

A limited liability company has members and membership interests. Yes, you can purchase 99% of the interest in the LLC - but if you are leaving one percent- is that for the old owner- so they would be one percent equity owner? This sounds like a structure of membership issue. It may be... View More
My wife, who was 22 weeks pregnant, slipped on water in a large retail store where there was no “Wet Floor” sign present. Although the store was initially helpful, I'm now concerned there might be more of a case here. We spent about 4 hours in Labor & Delivery monitoring our baby and... View More

At least a letter should be sent to the store requesting the store preserve any video, pictures, statements, incident report or other information and that they not change the condition of the area without notice and opportunity to inspect.

You take a considerable amount of risk by drafting your will without legal help. If you are going to go to the effort you want the will to be valid and to distribute assets the way you and the law allows. I would at the very least, consult a lawyer with your draft.

I am not aware of a limitation on age as to dropping off bank deposits. I don't think they should be clocked out to do this.

Since concierge services will be provided in patients homes, am I allowed to use my home address as the business address if I own the home?
answered on Dec 20, 2023
In your filing with the secretary of state - you can list your home address. You can form an LLC.

My sister was killed in a car crash in Tennessee. The driver is being charged with vehicular and reckless homicide. My sister (33) did not have a spouse or children. So who can sue for wrongful death? Can it be my dad, myself and my other sister together? Or is just my dad?

I am very sorry for your loss. The statutory answer is in the below statute. I would suggest creating an estate and having the personal representative file any action. Beyond this Tennessee has a one-year statute of limitations. So be careful and don't let the time run on a claim.... View More

We are a co-defendant in a garnishment. Plaintiff states that we are the co-defendant's employer. The defendant is a consultant (1099 employee) and we do not garnish wages for consultants. We want to get dismissed from this lawsuit without the need to hire an attorney.

If that is the case, you need to respond to the... View More

Whether your landlord can change the rate "mid-term" in the lease will depend on the language in the lease. If there is no provision allowing for this- then - no, the landlord shouldn't be able to change the rate during the term of the lease.
