In North Carolina, it is legal to track the location of your own vehicle even if someone else is operating it. This is explicitly allowed under G.S. 14-196.3(b)(5)(b), which permits the owner or lessee of a vehicle to use an electronic tracking device on that vehicle.
However, whether iOS... View More

I would have to read your contract to give a definitive answer, but likely not. The PM is probably correct in their advice to you.

What you have described is a common occurrence on the roads, but it is the requirement that every driver operate their vehicle so that they can stop in time to avoid collision with other vehicles, objects and people. To me it sounds like you... View More

Executor changed named beneficiary of 25yrs to make himself now the named beneficiary, via internet, on Charles Schwab acct. 3 weeks before my dad passed away. Durable POA not filled with registry of deeds in Wake county
answered on May 28, 2024
The answer to your question will hinge upon the Power of Attorney document’s language. Because your father was living at the time of this beneficiary change, the executor would have been acting in his or her potential role as agent under the Power of Attorney.

Your brother can only sell what he owns, so if someone is willing to buy his interest, he can sell it, but he cannot sell your portion. Since he is a part owner, your brother can get a court-ordered sale in which the whole property would be sold. You need to speak with a local attorney for further... View More

It depends. I would contact my child support caseworker and my Medicaid and Food stamps workers and find out what the laws about this are in your jurisdiction. You could lose the benefits by stopping the child support so you need to find out what your workers say about it.

A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could try to arrange a free initial consultation with a law firm. However, it's likely that the two of you will have conflicting testimony. Good luck

In general, a person or company cannot claim revenue share for products they did not have a signed agreement for.

I am filing Pro Se complaint in Greensboro NC federal court against my sibling for inheritance hijacking and financial exploitation of the disabled and elderly. Which federal code do I put on the complaint form?
answered on May 15, 2024
Whatever federal code you are alleging that your sibling violated, if any.

You have choices. You can do nothing whatsoever. You can call the law firm to try to arrange a payment plan or if possible, pay it in full. You can respond on your own to the summons. You can retain an attorney to respond or to negotiate a settlement or both; or consult with a bankruptcy attorney... View More
