An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Insurance companies don't have a reason to tamper with cars after an accident - many of the basic facts concerning liability are usually established at the scene. There's a lot of information to sort... View More

Hire a competent AR attorney to at least read the Deed. It is very possible that you own an one/half undivided interest as a tenant in common. But someone needs to determine the title. If you are one of the two owners, then agree to the sale and do not sign a Deed until you are paid half the... View More

No. The offense is the theft of the property. Possession of stolen property may be evidence of theft or a separate crime. The taking and the possession are two distinct acts.

More facts would be needed to get a full response to this question.

In South Carolina, you would need to register for and eventually complete the Alcohol Drug Safety Action Program (ADSAP) before driving privileges could be restored on a route-restricted basis.
Such as security, and custodial departments.

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. But nationwide, it's a common practice in small businesses. Good luck
I live in Michigan.
In Arkansas, my brother and I inherited land from my deceased father. Using a lawyer, he had purchased land from relatives using quit claim deeds.
However, to save money, he used a Bill of Sale to purchase land from one relative. This relative is still... View More

Bill of Sale is not a conveyance. Suing for Specific Performance will cost some money. Call AR attorneys who handle property litigation. A Partition suit is probably your best option, and hopefully the lawyers can get paid from sale proceeds.
He had a get together at his dad's house, the police showed up and told him that a 14 yo was being pulled over and fled the police causing him to crash . He told the police he had left my son's party. My son did not invite nor he knows the kid, which he explained to the police. The... View More

It is clearly possible based upon your statement. Citizens are often shocked when they are affected by the powers of the police and prosecutors. Remember when you vote that the prosecutor has the discretion and makes the decision to charge a person with a crime.

Sounds like a Tenancy In Common where both owned one/half Undivided Interests, if no survivorship condition is shown. But an examination of the Deed and a Title Search are necessary. It sounds like his Heirs took his interest.
I was stopped driving and the cop is looking for someone walking. He runs my license and thought dispatch told him I had a search waiver. Later he states in the report he found out there wasn’t a search waiver .Is that grounds to throw the case out ?

This is the type of thing that courts have routinely found to be good faith errors and thus not prejudicial or subject to exclusionary rules based, in part, upon the rationale of US v. Leon. Each case though, is fact specific. There may be additional facts in your situation that might prove... View More

What did your Father die owning? You are probably the Heir and Next of Kin, but if there is little property, then Administrating his Estate with Letters is a waste of time. If there is property, hire a competent AZ attorney to represent you.
We did everything asked from the government site. Replied to the examiner etc. This was during the "Covid ordeal" so no one ever got back with us. Great excuse. Then they just abandoned it as failure to respond even though we did. We still need to get this trademarked. I guess they just... View More

If it was abandoned your best bet is to refile. You should consult with an attorney and get a full understanding of your case and if your goals can be achieved.

Probably not unless you can show the Court that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction in the first place. An ancillary administration might be needed.

What is your question? Apparently your new survey is different from the old. You might contact the surveyors, but if they talk to you they will defend their opinions. Declination might be a factor here, but probably one survey was more precise than the other. If you have a dispute then hire... View More
I need help in regards a chapter 13 bankruptcy that all the debts were in ex spouses name but they filed it in my name. Hes Scott free and now they are foreclosing, and I'm still co borrower on the mortgage. How can I do I fix this for my future. Divorce is pending.

Contact all three credit bureaus and advise them of the error and provide them with the documentation necessary to correct it. Usually takes about 30-45 days to get corrected.
I was given an RV that has a lien, the rv has been vandalized severely, making the RV not worth more than the lien. Can the lien be forgiven? I am not sure what to do as I need this RV desperately.
answered on Mar 10, 2023
Assuming that the lienholder properly perfected it lien (easy to do), a bankruptcy filing by its owner will not impair or "forgive" the liened indebtedness.
If you file a Chapter 7 case (the *Desnup* US Supreme Court decision), the bankruptcy has no effect, and the lien cannot be... View More

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There are too many different statutes in all those categories to list. Since many accident cases are heard in state court, there are various state laws that could apply. Good luck
