If you can't afford an attorney, contact utahlegalservices.org. They are good with landlord tenant situations and I think you have a good argument that your apartment is unsafe. When a home is found to have large amounts of meth, they will often destroy the home and dig out the basement and... View More

I recommend you ask this question to a civil litigation attorney. This is a litigation contract you are asking about.
BF died of drug intoxication. Insurance is asking for prescription list, autopsy and toxicology. We were not married how do I obtain these? I doubt his family will help me obtain one.

Obtain some sort of official demand from the life insurance company and give a copy to the sources of the documents you need. This may work.
Attorneys can normally obtain these items with a letter saying they need it for their client to obtain insurance.
If neither of these work,... View More

There is no rule. You can actually rent a property without a lease if both parties agree to do so. This is called a month to month tenancy. Leases are recommended as it gives stability and allows the parties to have a signed document confirming everything agreed upon. If you have no lease, you are... View More

A Utah attorney could answer best, as elements of state public health law and state executive orders could apply. But your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, they probably could because of the public safety issue - unless a doctor's note excuses usage on a medically... View More

I am a pro se litigant and I recently filed a Complaint. However, the Clerk designated my case as a contract case, when in fact it’s a personal injury case. I’ve tried calling and talking to the clerk, but she’s firm in her belief and claimed to read my complaint. If she did so, she would see... View More

The designation by the court of the type of case you filed is not critical. It's my understanding that the court does that for administrative purposes. What is critical is that you Complaint correctly pleads your case. If you believe you have a personal injury case, but you've somehow... View More

You could search in the Legal Malpractice section here on this site, you could conduct your own independent searches, or you could look through the Utah State Bar's resources. Good luck

If your eviction is still pending, a landlord-tenant attorney could advise in the best manner - or given the difficult situation, you may have already decided to start looking into other places at this point. Good luck

What do I need to do to get those voidable contracts voided or what's the next step to repairing the war zone that has become my life because I'm now homeless and I've lost a lot everything my life's work forgive the errors and no punctuation I'm talking into my phone

Not a lot of facts to go off of here, except that you are saying that you signed and recorded some quit claim deeds a few years ago while you lacked capacity and now you want to void the deed.
If you were under duress or undue influence by the person to whom you signed them over to, you... View More
If it is possible does that company have the right to kick me out of the home?
answered on Dec 12, 2018
As long as you are on the deed, they are unable to kick you out. You are an owner. House ownership can be split among persons and sold separately from each other. Each owner will have an undivided right of use and enjoyment of the property ( you can's draw a line in the middle of the house... View More

The short answer is yes. You can list anything that you own for sale. If you are going to give out seller disclosures, you will need to disclose the fact that there is pending litigation.
From this question, I am not even sure if you are the owner of the property. The answer is, an owner... View More
I signed a contract upon starting at the company for a sign on bonus and a monthly salary. The position was not what was promised at all which led to me leaving the company. They are now suing me in Utah for 66k (the sign on bonus and all of the salary I earned during my few months there).
I was issued a citation for an “ilegal turn” on December 6. After the Officer arrived back at the station, he added “driving while license suspended” to my citation. I had NO idea that my license was suspended. Is this legal? Even after I signed the original citation, and wasn’t notified... View More

I live in a HOA community. A neighbor has adult children who break in to cars and homes and steal packages off door steps.

Really you would need to look at the HOA. If there was something that they were violating in the HOA, then you could require the owner to find a new tenant, but you can't just make someone move because they are criminals.
Sorry.

It would depend on several factors. For example, how the asset is held (is it in your name solely or jointly in both of your names)? There may also be issues related to the UFTA (Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act). This Act attempts to prevent individuals from shifting their assets to others to... View More
