Loans rarely show up on a deed except for an old style vendor's lien. Hire a MS or TN attorney to search the title and determine ownership of the property. You may have to file a quiet title action or at least a detainer. Consult with an attorney about the apparent thefts but realize you... View More

Your parents do have broad legal authority over you as a minor in Mississippi, even regarding gifts and property. While the car was gifted to you by your grandfather, your parents can legally restrict or prevent your use of it until you turn 18, as they're responsible for your safety and... View More

If the parties are exactly the same person, then the deed may be a nullity and convey nothing. But a verbatim reading of the entire instrument is required. And does the deed affect you or someone else? If so, a quiet title action may be in order.

For Ecuador's tourist visa (T3), you must wait 12 months from your first entry date before starting another 90-day tourist stay. Since you left in July 2024, you'll need to calculate 12 months from when you first entered Ecuador in your previous stay.

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry about your accident. You could reach out to local attorneys to see if they could help you review the matter. But unfortunately, since this happened 14 years ago, that timeline probably closes a lot... View More

In Mississippi, to win a premises liability case you must prove that there was a dangerous condition that caused your injury. Additionally, you are required to prove that the landowner (or the occupier if not the owner) either: 1. caused the condition; or 2. knew or should have know of its... View More

To pursue a claim for medical negligence you must have an expert witness (an M.D. under the facts you have related) who can provide the opinion that the treatment provided by medical staff at the ER during your initial visit deviated from the standard of care applicable to them. Assuming that an... View More
My mother in law fell at a local grocery store and shattered her knee. She slipped on blood by the meat department. The lawsuit is taking a while. Would we have to go to court for it? It’s been a year and four months since the accident. She’s 74 and can’t work anymore.
answered on Oct 28, 2024
This is not an easy answer. HAs suit been filed, has there been discovery. There is no simple answer to how long a claim takes. It depends on the facts, the parties involved and the court in which the case is filed. What you need to do is to have your mother in law call her attorney and make an... View More

Your question is not clear. If you have two different actions going on in two different States, then you have to go to Court and address each separately. If this is a MS case, then post it in MS, and apparently your motion has not been ruled on yet.
claimed it was non emergency. Is there any action I can take for this?

Hire a competent MS attorney to investigate whether you have a fiduciary duty breach cause of action or not. You may have already busted the SOL for conversion. If so, and the facts are clear, possibly a theft charge lies with the District Attorney.
When I tried to pay them there was this ridiculous amount they requested as a minimum and wouldn't allow me to pay what I could at the time.
answered on Oct 20, 2024
I don't see anywhere that you asked a question. You are correct - they are not going to accept as a minimum payment, anything that you can pay. A minimum payment is the minimum required for your account to remain current, or to not progress to the next step in the collection process. If you... View More
