Whoever's name is on the title legally owns the car; it does not matter who pays the payments. And the owner's insurance company will probably not allow him to buy insurance for a car that is not kept at his address.
I am 18 about to go to college and my father accidentally ended up with my 529 plan in his name (as opposed to my mother owning it) during their divorce. The amount in the 529 would cover my cost of attendance for 4 years at my university, but he is planning on only using half of it and forcing my... View More

If your father and mother are divorced, and if there is a written agreement (or court order) detailing the division of marital assets, it is highly unlikely that your father "accidentally ended up with your 529 plan in his name."
Indeed, it is much more likely that the two... View More

FYI: All banks in Pennsylvania--and all other states--are very highly regulated; banks do not just keep someone's SSI deposit without very good reason--like to cover an overdraft. If you are still unhappy, contact the appropriate state or federal regulator supervising your bank.

You sure it was the real bank of America? This sounds odd. Your bank was the transfer agent so they should make you whole. But before you lay that on them.
Start by getting all the transaction documents. Then send them to the Banking Commission in Harrisburg and also to the Banking... View More
Do I have to do anything to close it out
answered on Sep 25, 2018
Call the bank to make sure it was a joint account "with right of survivorship" (sometimes abbreviated "JWROS"). If so, there's nothing you need to do and the money in that account is yours now.
Best of luck to you.

If you have an attorney for your divorce, discuss this with her/him. When a bankruptcy action is filed, it places an automatic stay on all state court actions. That means that the PA court cannot proceed in your divorce action until either the bankruptcy has been completed or dismissed, or the... View More

you need to notify the bank immediately if a check was paid on a "forged necessary endorsement"--namely her signature or the signature of the person using the check. He will have to put the money in the account. A problem may be that it sounds like he is in her house.
It's been 10 years since he passed , she has had her last name changed, she says she needs to divorce her current husband and have her name changed back. Is this true? She is trying to take the money for herself and I need to know if I'm entitled to a share of it as I am his biological... View More

If the bank account is in her deceased husband's name, then she may need to open up his estate. The bank probably will not give her the funds until she begins probate. In that case, she'll either need to present the will to the Register of Wills (of which you would then be entitled to... View More

Obviously the mortgagor is part of it. If it is your property you can sell it for whatever you want. If there's something else that you haven't discussed then get a consultation with an attorney.
Can any instrument be negotiated by two or more parties to be considered tender to pay off a debt between them, or do they have to follow that law, or code on what has to be used as the legal tender? thank you!
answered on Sep 12, 2017
In a famous example a check was written on the back of a cow.
Basically you just say pay however many dollars it is. Dollars presumes the legal tender known as the dollar. Get all caught up in reserve notes and the like and you are in coin collector land (paper edition).

Your question is not clear, but I will do my best with the facts as I understand them.
First, I gather that the property was in the names of your father and mother. At one point, your father, without your mother, tried to add your name to the deed. That deed was lost and never recorded.... View More

If you and your husband are both on the deed and own the property as tenants by the entireties, which, unless otherwise stated, is the way that you would own the property if you acquired it while you were married, the property would automatically pass to you upon his death. If that is the way you... View More

No. Contrary to popular belief one spouse is not responsible for the debts of another unless they agree. If the bank did this get a written print out of transactions, then ask for a written statement of why they claim they can do it. File complaints with the state banking commission and the Federal...

Look at the contract. If the contract is silent then have your attorney write it in. But check your old contracts--should be covered.
