Congratulations on starting your nonprofit. You have chosen an unusual path by using the LLC formation method. One of the first things you will likely want to do is to file a "statement of information" with the Secretary of State -- usually within about 90 days from when you filed your... View More

Anyone can allow you to manage their money. There are no requirements for you to do so. Having a business of, or charging for, managing someone else's money can a different story and is more complicated.

I would really like to see more information regarding your situation. Since you are in possession of the vehicle and have been a lawful owner prior to the time your former girlfriend refinanced the vehicle, it seems to me that you have a continuing right to possess the car. If your former... View More

Whether you’re a landlord or tenant in the foreclosure process, it is advisable to consult a lawyer. The foreclosure process can be complex and you may need adequate legal representation to guide you along the way.

I am sorry you are having this problem. However, the description of a "chargeback dispute" tells us nothing about the merit or lack of merit concerning your claim. I suggest you submit a new question and provide some brief details, and you should then get some helpful advice.

The first rule when it comes to lending is that the terms of your loan cannot be modified unless the original agreement allows for it. (In many cases, lenders' agreements allow for the assignment of a loan.) Thus, unless you were to ratify the "new terms" (by having executed some... View More

There are a number of prevalent scams involving fraudulent checks. I'm sorry to learn you that you may have been a victim.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine the possibility of criminal charges without knowing more details surrounding your situation. You did not mention how... View More

small claims allows up to $10,000. It may be the fastest way to unfreeze the account, and the bank should not put a freeze on any funds not a part of the check. Consult with a local attorney.

first, you need to file an identity theft report with the FTC (and maybe your local police station).

Then you send a dispute to each credit bureau with a copy of the police report and ask them to remove the entry on your credit report. See annualcreditreport.com for instruction. Make... View More

this sounds like a scam. but without you sitting down or sending the document to an attorney, no one can answer your question. there are many chapters and rules and you would need to specify which set of rules this is referring to, i.e. civil procedure, rules of court, etc.

Your question is not entirely clear because you are using some incorrect legal terms. The person in charge of administering an estate (the "Administrator" of the estate) is the person whose job it is to pay the decedent's final bills, ensure the final tax return is filed, and do many... View More

It's almost certainly SPAM, but a lawyer would need to look at the actual email to tell one way or the other. Look at the email address from which it came. Does it end with .gov or .com? All government addresses should end with .gov. Also, if they ask you for your social security number or... View More

A notarized power of attorney by each founder should do it. I suggest you ask the bank first.

No. But you have to take certain steps like filing a right of exemption and notify the collectors attorney that the funds are social security only.

Was the check made out to you or to someone else and signed over to you?

Clearly there is something making the bank concerned. What could that possibly be?

You say you cashed a similar check 6 months ago.

That is what makes me ask if the check belonged to someone else. If... View More

You need to call and speak to a lawyer right away. This is not something you can resolve by posting on this forum. You will likely need to hire an attorney to have this resolved.

You may be using the wrong legal terms and, if so, it's OK, but it just makes it harder for a lawyer to know what you're asking. A "beneficiary" is a person who benefits by receiving assets from someone else's trust. In other words, a beneficiary inherits assets as a... View More

if you know you don't have "clean" title and try to sell it, you are knowingly committing a fraud........don't do it.
