The agreement you had with your parents is unenforceable at law even if you fully complied. If they go to the police, you will probably be charged with felony theft - credit card fraud - etc. Consult a local lawyer before you decide to "test" them. HMS

“In order named” means one at a time in the order of priority listed. So if Joe Smith is alive and well and capable and does not decline to serve then Joe Smith serves as sole personal representative.

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but you express urgency in your post. Yes, it's possible you could have grounds for a lawsuit if he loses his hand or finger. But that would be a mess to sort out after the fact, and it could drag on for years in court.
The more practical approach... View More

You do not necessarily have to file for bankruptcy to get your driver's license back. The suspension of your license likely stems from the debt owed due to the accident. There are options you can explore to address this debt without going through bankruptcy.

Unfortunately, while this experience is disappointing, it might not necessarily be grounds for legal action. Many companies have automated systems for scheduling, and mistakes... View More

No. The other party who was awarded fees would have to be the one to file a motion for contempt if he or she chooses that route. The other way people enforce a judgement for fees is to do what anyone else does to... View More
