Is a living trust needed?
answered on Nov 14, 2024
You should not have to go through probate in the typical fashion because the real estate should pass directly to the heirs at law pursuant the intestate laws of Virginia. I highly recommend you contact an attorney to understand your rights and the process.

I'm wondering if they violate the 2020 law that was passed regarding trigger activators. The device doesn't explicitly use the recoil energy of the firearm to function the same way a bump stock does, but does use the rearward bolt movement of it to function. I asked the state police but... View More

Litigation at the federal level regarding forced reset triggers seems to be ongoing. The latest ruling I could find is from Texas, where a federal district court ruled against the ATF this summer regarding seizure of these devices. In Virginia, the closest controlling statute I could find is §... View More

The Henrico County Code of Ordinances governs these situations, but is vague about signage. The Ordinance refers to parking being prohibited simply in "any place where official signs prohibit parking" and so it's guesswork without knowing the area and how the signs appear. Do any... View More

Doubtful. You committed potentially a felony - assault with a deadly weapon. You were not under the threat of imminent harm (unless he was pointing a gun or weapon at your car). You should have driven away and sought a restraining order if you were under threat of imminent harm by his threats.
My child was labeled a manipulator by a private christian school in VA and told she could not come back until a mental evaluation with a licensed counselor has been performed. Is this legal?

Hire a VA attorney to search the title, and examine closely that recorded easement. If easement is for road improvement or maybe an underground utility system, probably no damages. Title companies rarely have a duty to anyone, but might get hit for negligence (again doubtful). Have an... View More

Who gets in trouble? Him because he made threats? Me because I cause serious harm? Or the both of us. And yes he was sent to the hospital.
Do we both get in trouble? Do I get in trouble? Or Do he just get in trouble because of the threats.

You can act in self-defense in certain situations. Whether you committed a crime will depend on a number of factors, including the nature of the threats against you and his behavior in the moments before he was struck by your vehicle. It's not clear from your post whether anyone has been... View More

In order to successfully by pass probate, (1) the trust must have been valid and (2)... View More

Merely having been accused of something that has since been expunged should not disqualify you from possessing, purchasing, or transporting a firearm in Virginia. If you had received a felony conviction, you would want to get your firearm rights restored before attempting to possess or purchase an... View More
