On first blush, without knowing the details, I would advise that you and your mother delay this plan until she has consulted with an Elder Law attorney who has experience with Medicaid (known in Maine as “MaineCare”) applications. The situation you described is fraught with the potential to a)... View More

I think the short answer is yes. It sounds to me like you and your customer reached an agreement on how much he was to pay you, thereby establishing a contract. For some reason, he overpaid you.

I’m sorry, but I cannot understand your question as currently posed. If you are able to provide some additional facts, I will be happy to attempt to provide you with an answer.

Assuming that the claim you are asking about is one for legal malpractice, the statute of limitations under Maine law is 6 years. I express no opinion as to whether you have a viable claim for legal malpractice or otherwise.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "my Property represent me as Pro Se." Could you please try asking your question another way?

The short answer is they have to go to court to get you out. When that happens (or even before it does), you may want to consider hiring a lawyer to represent you.

I would suggest that you collect all your important documents and other information on this and schedule an appointment to sit down with an attorney who practices in this area to determine if she or he can help you. My partner, Cecilia Guecia, practices in this area, if you are interested in... View More

I believe the answer to your question will depend largely on whether the landlord has acknowledged your tenancy by acceptance of rent or otherwise, as provided under 14 M.R.S. § 6001(1). This is a fact-dependent inquiry. If so, then you should have the rights of a tenant at will under Maine law.... View More

I would need to see your lease to give you a more complete answer, but why does your landlord want to have your car towed? Have you asked him or her what the issue is?

For a transaction of this magnitude, you really should consult with a lawyer so that you can get a more complete answer.

I am sorry, but I do not understand your question. Could you try filling in more details?

It's not possible to give meaningful guidance with such little information. Are these demands from the state related to Medicaid payments for your aunt's medical care? If not, what is the demand related to? If for medical bills, you would have to compare what your aunt paid, and... View More

Hello,

I am not sure this is a banking question but, in any event, it would be helpful to have some additional information. Who is the payee that is handling all of your finances currently? How was that person appointed? Have you spoken to him or her about whether you can again control... View More
