Before you make an irreversible mistake, hire a competent KS attorney to search the title. The secured loan may be the decisive factor, but at least look into what you own and then decide whether to convey it away for nothing.
It says it's a default case and I do not remember being served the papers in 2019

A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks, and it looks like time is of the essence in your handling of the matter. No one here could evaluate the validity of the service based on your recollection - it would come down to affidavits from the process server... View More

Whoever determined you were the sole heir might execute an Affidavit of Heirship. Record this as your source of title.

Hire a KS attorney to search the title and determine heirship. You might be an heir, thus tenant in common. If so stay there forever or sue for Partition. On the Deed, apparently it was your mistake and you cannot complain about it.

answered on Mar 1, 2023
If the police officer is more than 50% at fault for the collision, then the city he works for will be liable for that percentage of all your damages. Your damages will include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. The city most likely has some form of insurance to cover this... View More
They issued me new ticket with 702 am when I asked the prosecutor she said she amended the time her officer was mistaken is this legal in Kansas City of Fort Scott?
answered on Feb 28, 2023
I would definitely keep the original ticket, request a trial, and offer the original ticket into evidence. It may be enough to create a reasonable doubt as to the time of your traffic stop which sounds like it is a determinative fact in your particular situation.

Read the terms of your insurance policy and your premium invoice. If you have full coverage, or if you paid for full coverage, you may be able to sue your insurance company.
If not, you may be able to sue your insurance agent for not obtaining full coverage despite your instructions to do so.
Hi. I am on F-1 visa. I was investing in stocks and crypto last year and had noticed that I had more than 4 trades per week (around 15) on one or two occasions. However, for the rest of the year I maintained less than 4 trades per week. Does this mean my F-1 status is in danger?

As a student on an F-1 visa, you are generally allowed to engage in certain employment activities, including on-campus work, Curricular Practical Training (CPT), and Optional Practical Training (OPT). However, there are restrictions on the types of employment that you can engage in while on an F-1... View More

It depends on the facts and circumstances. A lot of people take screenshots of work (and personal) emails to share with others later.
It depends on the content and why they are sharing it.
My ex girlfriend filed for support in Missouri. Before the case was ordered, she moved here to Arkansas so my son could be closer to me. Shouldn’t that end the support order in Missouri?

No. Under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, if Missouri had jurisdiction when the case began, it continues to have jurisdiction until a final order is entered.
Once a final order is entered, under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution, any other state must give... View More
