I have never been late, have a credit score of well over 800, paid extra over the years, and have 23 months until the loan will be satisfied. As such I have over 90% of the equity (even by the...

What does your mortgage say? IF it says they can randomly require you pay for inspections, then yes, they can do what you describe. If it says they can force you to pay for inspections whenever work is done on the property that too is something they can do.
If it doesn't say that,... View More

While it is possible they can go after your personal assets it is unlikely. Your insurance will cover you. Get your own attorney just to supervise the insurance company and insurance defense attorney to make sure you are protected.

Not 100% sure of AZ law, but in CA, on sale, the seller sends a notice of transfer to the DMV in order to give notice of the sale of the vehicle. I recommend you contact several attorneys in your area that practice this type of law, as soon as possible. Thank you for using Justia ask a lawyer.

I do agree, something seems off. It is generally the case that once a client's medical treatments are finished, it can take anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks to obtain all of the client's medical records and bills. Every now and then there will be difficulty getting a record or a bill but that... View More

A South Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You can find attorneys who handle such insurance matters. But if it's a large reputable insurance company with a customer service department, you could first reach out to them. Good luck
I am really not planning on doing that but I am behind in my mortgage and could use some of it for debt purposes. Otherwise I would like to know if I can deposit it and hold onto it because I cannot meet the financial obligation to meet a deductible of $4,000

If the car was not owned by you and you did not give your late husband permission to operate the vehicle, I see no basis for liability against you personally for this crash. If you are sued, and the auto liability insurance company does not provide a defense to you, you can retain your own private... View More

answered on Jun 2, 2023
Hi there, generally your personal liability policy is not going to cover the properties owned by the LLC given that the LLC is not the insured on the policy. You would need to read the policy to be certain. An umbrella policy for all of them could be a solution if there was adequate coverage and... View More

I had an accident five months ago. It wasn't big so I didn't report it. But now I am being sued by the other driver for $8000 in damages. Can I still get help from my insurance company? Its American transit insurance company ATIC. Do they provide free lawyer in this case?
answered on May 12, 2023
Turn the lawsuit papers over to American Transit after making copies for your own records. Because of the time gap, you may be confronted with the argument that their rights to investigate the claim were prejudiced by the delay in reporting. Every carrier can be different in their tolerance for... View More

My insurance company said since my car engine blew up and was not drivable to cancel my policy? Is that correct?
answered on May 14, 2023
An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It isn't clear what is at stake in the distinction you ask about, whether the policy was cancelled for non-payment or the car being undrivable. Either way, it sounds like the vehicle was not on the road. If... View More
