The property was due to be subdivided. It was still not subdivided at the time of listing because we thought it would take a long time to find a buyer. We were wrong. We negotiated a price, but nothing was signed, and a deposit check was not cashed.

After which, now they are offering to fix the damage, but I no longer want that vehicle. The GM is refusing to allow me to return the car and trying to force to buy another... View More

I have handled many cases like this. This may be a classic case of auto fraud. Many dealers obtain an AutoCheck shortly after they purchase a car from an auction or customer with the hope that it does not show auto damage. However, they always inspect the vehicle and know of the damage. I... View More

I see the spendthrift clause within a Living Trust to allow me (Trustee) to manage a Trust in my parent's (Grantor's) name. This will restrict and protect my brother's interests from creditors or greedy step-kids.

Did you die from the operation? Did your mother know that there is a risk of death in any operation? If the answer to the first question is no, and the answer to the second question is yes, there are no damages and you don't have a right to sue, whether or not the SOL has tolled.

While I empathize with your situation, you do not have standing to sue for damages, because the circumcision did not result in injury or death. In legal terms, "standing" refers to the legal right to bring a lawsuit.
The fact that you were unaware of the circumcision for 24 years... View More
