There are federal crimes involved here because the activities crossed states lines. If you read the various articles about it, they explain what federal crimes are being charged in these cases. It is a good question.

Q: What if somebody stole my trust fund and they was my beneficiary
Marc David Pelta's answer
Make a police report and you may have to hire an attorney to represent you. In some instances, one way is to call your local bar association and ask to be referred to an attorney referral service. You may need to hire an attorney experienced in civil law, specifically probate.

If the house is yours, and not in the estate, then you would have to bring a petition under Probate Code section 850 to challenge the title to the property. Discuss this with your attorney.

You should ask your attorney about an 850 petition to determine what assets are, or are not, in your grandma's estate. This is a lawsuit to determine whether the house is yours or your grandmas.

Q: What type of attorney do I need to defend me after using check stubs generated on line to purchase a vehicle?
Dmitry Gorin's answer
You need to privately consult with a criminal defense lawyer in your area to review the details and options. Use Justia or Google to search for local law firms and make a few calls. Good luck.

Q: Is it possible for a defendant to face charges in both federal and state court?
Robert Donald Gifford II's answer
Generally it is, but there are some exceptions to it. Bottom line is the because both are separate sovereigns, thus the double jeopardy clause does not apply. Most jurisdictions try to avoid doing this as it complicates trial dates and availability of witnesses.

need a lot more facts
the first thing you have to do is hire an EXPERIENCED FEDERAL ATTORNEY.
most lawyers in the greater Palm Springs Area do not do Federal. In part it is because there is no federal court around us.
federal courts can hear cases from other states but this should be addressed to the lawyer you retain.

William John Light's answer
Sounds like you could go back to the court that issued the order and move for contempt, restraining order, etc. However, if the amount in controversy exceeds $75k, and both parties are residents of different states, you have diversity jurisdiction. I'm not sure what a federal judge would do about trying to enforce some other court's division of property order.

Q: In 2006 I plead guilty to mail fraud. The Feds actually alleged a corruption scheme in another state.
Dale S. Gribow's answer
To properly evaluate any legal question a lawyer needs a thorough summary of the facts. What you have shared is not much. If you are not clear then the lawyer will no doubt be challenged to give an accurate answer.
It is the same as using the adage for using a computer... “JUNK IN, JUNK OUT”.
there is no way to know what a real estate board will do.............or the state on your appeal.

a lawyer needs more info?
any prior record?
how much was the return?
do they have an idea how often she has done this and the total amount?
if this is the only time they know about she can argue it was a spur of the moment impulse but if they are aware of other events it shows premeditation/intent and planning to commit the crime.

Q: If Trump used money from his charitable foundation for himself (self-dealing), why wasn't he charged with a crime ?
Sergio H. Benavides' answer
Only Congress has the power to prosecute the president, and since Republicans hold the majority power in all three branches of government, they don't want to prosecute the president even if he may be guilty of crimes.
