An executor has to get letters of office from the court to take action on the uncle's estate. If there was no probate, there were no letters of office. That means nobody legally relied on any allegations grandpa made. No bank or court would have relied on such assertions. So the uncle must... View More

No one asks who hired the lawyer. Either the person has one or, if jail is a possibility, one is appointed. If you want to object I suppose you can go to court and do so, but I would think you should talk to your kid's lawyer first.
I am a nonparty to a criminal state case, in which my son is the defendant, and the prosecutor has admitted to submitting fabricated evidence on record. What is the court, filing petition, and law to expediently dismiss this case immediately and bring my son home?

Although local practices can vary, in general, the petition itself is just a check the box exercise. Then you file a supporting legal memorandum as a separate document. In your case, it also sounds like you should also be filing a motion to suppress.
To be honest with you, the chances... View More

I seriously doubt it. You have a long record. But you would get better advice if you spoke with a local criminal defense lawyer.

Dropped does that mean that the pre-trial conditions are also dropped
answered on Sep 3, 2024
No. The order of protection is a separate case usually with an op case number. The criminal case is a cm or cf case and one of the bond conditions is no contact with victim.
