Pay what filing fee? If you are truly not the person named in the subpoena why not get a Forever stamp and envelope and send it to the name of the lawyer who had you served with it. No need to write a note, now try to tell the lawyer why he is receiving his subpoena in the mail. Be sure you are not... View More

Obviously a lawyer would need to read the contract to advise you if this is allowed, but many contracts state that the financing is subject to final lender approval.

Our mother died in 2017 and we would like to close her estate and are wondering how long the retirement community can keep the apartment unsold. If there are any laws regulating this.

All of your questions should be answered in the original purchase documents controlling all the terms of ownership, maintenance, assessments and all other terms and conditions. Why not hire a lawyer to review everything and help you convince the owners of the retirement community to speed up their... View More

I am the only child born to my parents marriage which ended after 25 yrs. The entirety of that time my father worked at, and paid into a company offered pension fund, which my mother was awarded 50% of in the divorce decree. (QDRO) obtained. She predeceased my father, who to my knowledge started... View More

Yes, in all likelihood, 50% of your father's pension that would have gone to your mother would, therefore, go to her estate. Additional information would be needed to say that is the case with certainty. Any experienced estate administration attorney can assist you with this matter.

Unfortunately you don't have many options, if you don't sign the new lease you can be evicted, the landlord does not have to give you a month to month lease, but check with your town.
I joined a fitness club with a 2yr membership of $134/mo in March 2018. I didn't receive copy of the contract and particulars were never discussed. During a class four months after I joined, a tablet was brought over to me by an assistant saying 'I never signed this.'

Much more information would be needed to properly answer your question, especially if you didn't sign that contract. However a good lawyer may cost more than the remaining balance to litigate the matter but maybe a negotiated settlement could be arranged.
answered on Feb 4, 2019
The best way is to have your lawyer negotiate a settlement if possible otherwise if not you can lose your deposit.

answered on Feb 1, 2019
Yes, scams happen all the time. I suggest you have your son set up a consultation with a lawyer as you have many questions here and obviously this will take some time and more information would be needed to answer these questions. Expect to pay that attorney for his time and advice.

You should go to Court, but an attorney is not going to be willing to handle your cases, since it would not be cost effective. If you are really in such bad financial shape, why would you ever loan money to anyone?

You need to retain a landlord-tenant attorney for constructive eviction. This is not easily proven, but it does seem like you have a good chance of establishing that.
