I was in a accident and im try to sue for car damage, medical bills and pain and suffering
answered on Jun 20, 2020
We would need more information such as whether the other party has assumed fault, whether any citations were issued and to whom, etc.
My father passed away and I am his executor and sole heir; my siblings were not granted anything in his will. He died at home, and the police gave his keys to my brother who lives next door. Immediately afterwards, my brother took my dad's truck and put it on his own property. The police... View More

The police won't get involved, as they do not want to be in the middle of interpreting civil documents, unless that civil document is a Court Order. As executor, you have a duty to collect all property and then distribute it. If he won't return the property, or buy it for a fair market... View More
My (now) ex and I share the same phone plan. It is under his name and he pays for it. I used to just give him my half every month. Now that we are broken up, I blocked him on everything. I am figuring out getting my own phone plan but there is technically still money that I owe him to date.... View More

If you had agreement that you would pay half of the bill, then yes, he can seek to collect from you. Given the amount, he would probably file an action in small claims.
I’m the plaintiff needing to find the form to answer defendants counterclaim. Thank you!
answered on Feb 29, 2020
It's called a reply and there is no form. Like the answer,you need to admit or deny each paragraph of the counterclaim..much like the answer you have received. Or hire an attorney.
In 2016, he did something similar and admitted digging a trench because his yard was too wet. What can I do? My yard is a mess and I am becoming ill over this level of harassment. I need the offending party to cease the assault on my property and pay for tree and lawn repair. What category of law... View More

This could turn into a complex lawsuit, both for the relationships between the multiple parties and for the technical attributes of the equipment. You say you want to discuss it with a lawyer in Henderson or Durham. This isn't really a lawyer referral service here; it's only a Q & A... View More
A California prenuptial contains the following clause.
"Each party agrees to execute a waiver of his or her right to collect benefits under the other parties qualified retirement plan or plans, if applicable."
Could this be interpreted to mean only those accounts that... View More

This is a contract issue and a matter of interpretation of the agreement. By the terms quoted it is ambiguous, meaning it has two possible meanings. The real question will be what was the parties intent at the time the agreement was entered. It is poorly drafted as this contingency should have... View More

There are no standard forms. Each case 8s different and therefore different information may be needed. An experienced family law attorney can formulate the necessary discovery.
Is there a conflict of interest?
answered on Jan 19, 2020
No, unless he somehow has a strong relationship with the other party. There are presumably hundreds if not thousands of students so you would need to show a much greater connection.
Internet trying to charge full month bill when I only had service 4 days. No written contract.

You'll find cases like that in a search, but before investing time doing so, it might be worthwhile to review the terms of the service agreement. It's possible that could be more applicable than general legal decisions. Good luck

Why couldn't I inherit my predeceased fathers share of his mothers estate. It may now be to late to do anything but I still would like to know?
answered on Nov 23, 2019
Because your father evidently did not file to legitimate you, and did not include you in a will. Establishing paternity and recognizing a child as a legitimate heir are two different legal processes. Filing an action to legitimate a child establishes paternity, but establishing paternity does not... View More

A North Carolina attorney could advise best on this, but your question remains open for two weeks. Dealing with the matter privately or publicly is up to you. Check the wording in the application for the appeal, particularly in terms of whether the determination of the appeal panel is binding.... View More

He also claimed it wasn’t in a collision . A pre purchase inspection found it was falling apart, many codes hidden, and there was evidence of it having been in a collision. Is this legal in NC?
answered on Aug 20, 2019
No, it violates federal and likely state laws. If someone bought it they need to contact the consumer division of the AG's office.
answered on Aug 23, 2019
Ordinarily, such an accusation would be considered a civil wrong. If verbal, it is slander. If it is in writing, it is libel. You could consult with an attorney who handles defamation cases, but keep in mind that such civil tort cases are not necessarily handled on a contingency basis the way... View More
I asked the builders agent twice and I was told it simply did not work out for them. I believe there was an affirmative duty to tell me if anything involved a defect with the house, so I assumed it was a problem with loan qualifying. I had studied the radon maps for this county in NC and did not... View More

Stop listening to the nosey neighbors--who probably do not want you to purchase the home because you are planning to rent it out. Happens all the time.
Bottom line: You will be unable to do anything about the alleged radon problem--and apparently unable to sleep--unless and until you find... View More
Both my wife and I are on the deed. No writ is against her. Is our home safe from florida writ? We have 2 vehicles with no lein, both our names on titles. Can they be siezed?
We appreciate your time. Thank you

Your home is safe, so long as it is titled as "tenants by the entirety". Your vehicles could potentially be seized, if you have not properly exempted them. Contact a Florida attorney regarding Florida's exemptions process.
