No. The offense is the theft of the property. Possession of stolen property may be evidence of theft or a separate crime. The taking and the possession are two distinct acts.
Such as security, and custodial departments.

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. But nationwide, it's a common practice in small businesses. Good luck

Hire a competent AR attorney to at least read the Deed. It is very possible that you own an one/half undivided interest as a tenant in common. But someone needs to determine the title. If you are one of the two owners, then agree to the sale and do not sign a Deed until you are paid half the... View More

Bill of Sale is not a conveyance. Suing for Specific Performance will cost some money. Call AR attorneys who handle property litigation. A Partition suit is probably your best option, and hopefully the lawyers can get paid from sale proceeds.
State in question is Arkansas

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. At this point, you could reach out to local attorneys for guidance on the pleadings. You may also want to discuss with them the matter of jurisdiction. You're raising a federal statute, but it could be worth... View More

What did your Father die owning? You are probably the Heir and Next of Kin, but if there is little property, then Administrating his Estate with Letters is a waste of time. If there is property, hire a competent AZ attorney to represent you.

Sounds like a Tenancy In Common where both owned one/half Undivided Interests, if no survivorship condition is shown. But an examination of the Deed and a Title Search are necessary. It sounds like his Heirs took his interest.

It is clearly possible based upon your statement. Citizens are often shocked when they are affected by the powers of the police and prosecutors. Remember when you vote that the prosecutor has the discretion and makes the decision to charge a person with a crime.

This is the type of thing that courts have routinely found to be good faith errors and thus not prejudicial or subject to exclusionary rules based, in part, upon the rationale of US v. Leon. Each case though, is fact specific. There may be additional facts in your situation that might prove... View More
We did everything asked from the government site. Replied to the examiner etc. This was during the "Covid ordeal" so no one ever got back with us. Great excuse.

If it was abandoned your best bet is to refile. You should consult with an attorney and get a full understanding of your case and if your goals can be achieved.

Probably not unless you can show the Court that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction in the first place. An ancillary administration might be needed.

What is your question? Apparently your new survey is different from the old. You might contact the surveyors, but if they talk to you they will defend their opinions. Declination might be a factor here, but probably one survey was more precise than the other. If you have a dispute then hire... View More

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There are too many different statutes in all those categories to list. Since many accident cases are heard in state court, there are various state laws that could apply. Good luck

Contact all three credit bureaus and advise them of the error and provide them with the documentation necessary to correct it. Usually takes about 30-45 days to get corrected.

Assuming that the lienholder properly perfected it lien (easy to do), a bankruptcy filing by its owner will not impair or "forgive" the liened indebtedness.
If you file a Chapter 7 case (the *Desnup* US Supreme Court decision), the bankruptcy has no effect, and the lien cannot be... View More
