No will, only verbal designation. Deceased resident of Albuquerque New Mexico
answered on Sep 29, 2022
You need to ask an attorney in New Mexico. This is where the Will will be probated.
Now a judge has to make a decision.
I was told since I have a child with the deceased he is next of kin.
What are my chances here?

You question is posed for Maryland, but you seem to be in DC. This answer is based on your ex-husband residing in Maryland. I also assume that you've written "ex-husband" because you were divorced before he died. If you are his widow, your priority is higher. In Maryland, the... Read more »

An award of attorney's fees is an available remedy when filing a motion to enforce a support obligation and for contempt of a court order requiring the payment. The decision to award fees, and how much, is in the discretion of the judge.

Maryland has already been informed. The Maryland jurisdiction that wants him has to arrange to send officers to go pick him up. The time can vary based on jurisdiction, available officers, distance to travel, etc. Week to two weeks perhaps. A Maryland attorney retained to represent your... Read more »
The heir apparent is the present owner of the property and is willing to continue making payments on the existing loan. How do I obtain an agreement to this effect.
answered on Sep 27, 2022
I’d have to research the specifics, but, generally, the heir can continue to pay the current loan with no further documentation, and the mortgagee remains secured by the property. You could probably prepare an endorsement of the note or enter a new loan on the same terms.

Md. Ann. Code, Trans. Art., Section 16-112 states that each driver of a motor vehicle shall display the license to any uniformed police officer who demands it. It goes on to state that this is satisfied only if the officer is able to access the verification system. I read this to mean that you have... Read more »

No, not specifically. If this is a normal purchase of a residential property (e.g., not a foreclosure sale), then the seller must "disclose any latent defects of which the [seller] has actual knowledge that a purchaser would not reasonably be expected to ascertain by a careful visual... Read more »

Unlikely. If the prosecution fails to disclose something they may be precluded from using it at trial, or they may be compelled to produce it, and the defendant may have grounds to request a postponement to prepare their case based on its late production, or a new trial might be ordered if the...

Does payment to a credit card made from an address in the MD district in 2010 qualify as minimum contact? I currently live in FL and I lived in PA when the suit was filed in 2013. The only thing tying me to MD at all is this one payment.
answered on Sep 24, 2022
No, unless the suit involves the transaction itself in Maryland, such as you entered into a contract to purchase a product or service in Maryland and paid the initial payment toward the contract there before leaving. Mailing a check to a credit card company from Maryland or paying toward the credit... Read more »

Anyone in jail can probably use a lawyer. 8th Amendment refers to the Constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. That Amendment is rarely found to apply to most circumstances. You will need to be very specific about what is cruel and unusual in order to evaluate whether there... Read more »
If I'm given a 2 year sentence and I serve 14 months on that sentence am I still eligible for penal code 12-104.1

Yes, arrearages do not accrue during the period of incarceration and for 60 days after your release. The threshold for suspension of the obligation is a sentence of incarceration of 180 days or more.
My boyfriend has been in jail since March and his 8th amendment is being violated
answered on Sep 23, 2022
Your boyfriend should hire counsel or contact the Public Defender to see if anything can be done to procure his release such as filing for a writ of habeas corpus. You cannot file a lawsuit on his behalf. Only an attorney can file on behalf of another individual.
They know I have insurance on the child, but now (13 years later) they want my card.

Once you are served with the criminal citation, this complies with any statute of limitations that may apply. There is no statute of limitations defense in your case if you were issued a criminal citation.
There is a speedy trial issue. You have a constitutional right to a speedy trial.... Read more »

The statute of limitations has been satisfied once the citation was issued. You have a potential speedy trial issue. However, you must assert the right to a speedy trial in writing to the court.
A preliminary inquiry merely tells the Defendant of his right to counsel. You should check... Read more »

The citation is the charge, and that meets the statute of limitations for charging you after the date of the offense. The issue is whether your speedy trial right under the Constitution has been violated, and the answer is not found in a clearly stated number of days, but has to do with a weighing... Read more »
