You should hire an attorney licensed in the state where the probate case is. Theoretically you could find an attorney near you who is also licensed in the state where the probate is. For example, I live and work in Tennessee and am also licensed in Arizona and California and three other states.
I am the secretary for a 501c3 focused on supporting military and ex-military veterans. We have a unique situation where the group acquired a motorcycle trike, which the group would like to "loan" to a biker who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. We want to know if we should... View More

Liability attaches to whoever owns the trike as well as whoever is driving it when an accident occurs. So if the club owns the trike (name on the title) they cannot avoid liability by leasing it or selling it subject to a purchase money loan. Hire an experienced lawyer to help keep the club on this...

I stated today that I no longer wished to continue communication with my Ex. She stated that she did not plan on it so I took that as an agreement. I stated that if she continued communication I would pursue legal action and she said that she “had dirt on me too” when I never stated that I... View More

You asked if it's a threat, but not all threats are illegal. If she is merely saying or implying, "If you sue me, bad things about you will be revealed", there's nothing unlawful about that threat. Of course, if she makes false statements to third parties that are damaging to... View More

The subsections are not exactly run-on sentences, but they may be confusing because of the many redundant words used. Try reading it like this:

Here is the million dollar question . Why isn't Marjorie Taylor Green not serving 5 years in federal prison . Threatening government officials of the United States is a felony under federal law. Threatening the President of the United States is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871, punishable by up... View More

Taylor Greene is a bottom-of-the-barrel, evil, ignorant miscreant and should be expelled from the House. However, thus far, I have seen no stories of her threatening the President or other officials with violence. There are stories of her posting the "like" icon on other people's... View More
Your answer did not really answer the question at all. For instance I read that if they are impeached and removed they lose their pension. The reason I am asking is to wonder why the people who are questioning the reason for impeachment with such little time left in office , that would be a huge... View More

It is the act of leaving office that determines what info you have or don't have access to, not the reason you left office. Why do you ask?
I want to start a small company where I send demands (seeking settlements) to companies for violations of u.s. telemarketing laws...I have seen places that help with accidents that arent actually law firms, am I able to do something similar but with telemarketing?
He got into a verbal altercation with his dad at their residence and walked back into the home but ever assaulted anyone. He has proof that he was residing there at the time of the incident & his dad never pressed charges. Is there a way we can get the charges dropped or a way he could get... View More
answered on Dec 11, 2020
Why are you assuming the warrant is for the incident with his dad if his dad never pressed charges? Something's missing here. Either his dad DID press charges or the warrant is for something else. Another possibility is that his dad first decided to press charges, then changed his mind, but... View More
I live in Florida, brother here lives in South Carolina.

The law of Puerto Rico may not be the same as the law in Florida. That's why you should have asked your question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Puerto Rico.
I would like to change the laws of the municipality by placing it on the ballot for the upcoming elections.

You must find out whether your city has a process for petitioning to place a referendum on the ballot (also called initiative petition), and if so, what the petition requirements are (method, number of signatures needed, time restrictions, etc.). I would start out by calling the City Clerk's... View More

It doesn't appear to involve a federal question, so no, you can't sue in federal court.

If it's abandoned, and whether that is the case depends on all of the circumstance, it can be taken by anyone.

Yes, with a recorded note and mortgage, but if there is already a mortgage for a home loan, the lender has priority, so if the lender forecloses, you'll end up on the short end.

No, DEO is not "committing fraud." Since DEO is the final decision-maker as to whether or not you are entitled to the extra money given to DEO under the CARES Act I strongly suggest that you stop fighting with them and just wait for the DEO bureaucracy to catch up with the thousands of... View More

Probably because the USAF and the FAA are legally not the same employer; neither is any other federal agency the same as the FAA or the USAF. FYI: Every federal agency employer is different from all others; and the military civilian corps is completely different than that of any federal agency.
I had an exceptions hearing over the phone, opposing council was allowed to talk and I was not, I was the one that filed for exceptions.

Of your list of grievances, the only one that seems to be a possible infringement of your rights was the denial of your right to argue on your own behalf. That is a procedural due process right IN GENERAL for pro se litigants in hearings, with some exceptions. Relief for a trial court... View More
After singing and in processing used car loan agreement contract, in the same day local tampa bay dealer drop car price continue advertising price drop. Am I entitled to new car price drop, even loan contract signed,send forbank approval?? what are my options. Thanks,
answered on May 27, 2020
The (amazing) fact that the dealer lowered the price on the same used car that you were purchasing that same day has nothing to do with your transaction. The written contract you signed was complete when signed.

For starters, I can tell you that if you and your deceased husband filed a joint income tax return for calendar year 2018 or 2019 you each are entitled to receive $1,200. And since your husband was alive when the stimulus legislation was enacted (mid-January), you can keep the $1,200 earmarked for... View More
A city and county forced all timeshares closed as part of their Covid-19 response. The state did not close timeshares via their directive.

I agree with Mr. Minnick. You'd have to seek a Court ruling that the municipality's action is not legally valid, and to do that, you would need to challenge the constitutionality of the action. There are various "levels of scrutiny" that the Courts use to determine if the... View More
