All children of our grandfather are deceased, leaving 5 of us great grandkids. We were all contacted by an heir search company that told us that they are gathering heir information for Wilmington Bank and to expect a letter. That was in March 2019.

If I understand this correctly, your great-granmother set up a trust for the "family" which included your grandfather. The terms of the trust will control who the trust assets pass to. I suggest asking for a copy of the trust.
Be wary of this "heirship company" if they... View More

An attorney would ask you for some additional facts, in terms of what type of property damage it was. That would enable them to advise whether it would be covered under a homeowner's policy, auto policy, or other possible form of coverage. You could post a few additional details (without... View More

Your question remains open for two weeks. If you added some additional details (Was there a contract involved?, Was it a loan, a gift?; Was it the sale of an item?, How did the matter originate?, etc.), a Texas attorney might be able to provide some input here. You don't need to include... View More

There are attorneys who deal with archeological artifacts and antiquities, but it is not a widespread and common area of practice. Larger firms would be likelier to have someone knowledgeable in that area. Aside from the conventional searches on this site, the Internet, or through the State Bar of... View More
I came in with a jacket on and went to the candy section. I walked down a couple aisles looking at ingredients of various products. The clerk then tells me that my jacket is suspicious and that I should take it off if I want to stay in the store. I comply and continue looking. The clerk then tells... View More

On its face, it appears to be an unpleasant encounter brought about by suspicion, and not a courteous manner in which to treat a store visitor. It could be the type of experience one would want to forget about, but if you believe that a violation of your rights took place, you could set up a... View More

You need to ask this question in the State of Louisiana section. A Texas lawyer can not give you an answer on this unless they are licensed to practice in Louisiana.
My ex boyfriend and I both signed for my vehicle, which I'm close to paying off. He will not respond to any requests to sign a POA to remove his name. I would like to trade it in or refinance, because I do don't want to pay it off while his name is still on it. I've paid every... View More

I'm sorry for your loss and the difficult situation it has put you in. I suggest you consult with a DTPA (Deceptive Trade Practice) lawyer in your area; one who has experience in vehicles. I'm not a DTPA lawyer and the only reason it comes to mind is I know one in San Antonio who has a... View More

Well you could request a restraining order but you would need to explain to the judge why you need it. Typically people outside have no expectation of privacy unless there is a

Go see a local attorney about this. Perhaps you can file a partition case in court in your state, or perhaps there is some other resolution to the problem that an attorney can help you with.

Probably. You might try to negotiate with the landlord.

If you are referring to a comment in an online docket or at the clerk's website about a case, the best people to ask are the clerks who made the entry. You gave no facts, just the question. That is not enough.
