House is owned (No Mortgage) and selling to Son.
answered on May 6, 2019
There are many reasons why having an attorney is an essential part of a real estate transaction. Mainly, the deed that transfers the house to your son is a legal document that needs to conform with statutory requirements and be notarized/signed by an attorney, to be legally valid. The attorney will... View More

Most states require notice to all heirs (relatives who would inherit property if the decedent died without a will) if there is an application to admit a will to probate. That doesn't happen until after death. But nowadays, a lot of assets pass outside of probate, by joint account or... View More
My ex quick claimed the house. I had to sell it per our decree and it sold as a short sale. Liens that we’re in both of our names were paid off at time of sale. My attorney said we should split the 80k 1099 my ex claims I’m responsible.

Look closely at your divorce decree and then call you divorce lawyer--again. If the decree says you get the house, then you get the house and everything that goes with it.

If this is your first ever arrest, you are eligible for a program called Accelerated Pretrial Rehabilitation which, if it's granted, will lead ultimately to a dismissal of the charges. The most important thing is to make sure that any restitution / money owed is paid back in full before you... View More
I have reported my income each month like I'm supposed to do.

You have a few options here. If you do not think you were overpaid, you can request a reconsideration of the determination. If instead, which it sounds like here, you believe you may have been overpaid, but it is not your fault, you can ask for a waiver of the overpayment and complete SSA Form 632,... View More

Depends entirely on your change in abilities and how that affects your employment. Remember, it's not the inability to do your old job but you have to be unable to do any job that exists for medical reasons. Is there a reason why you can't, for example, take tickets at a parking lot?
It’s been over 2 years. Executor is stepfather who still lives in condo. Condo was in my mother’s name only no mortgage. He and I are beneficiaries.

It would make sense to hire an attorney or at the very least write a letter to the Probate Court. You are in a tough situation that is not black and white. Generally the court is ok with someone staying in the home for about 6 months. After that it becomes rather inappropriate. As to the split of... View More
I couldn't afford an attorney, I filed a civil case pro se. The police report was the "smoking gun" and had the facts. The judge would not allow it as evidence because it was not "certified". I contacted that police department, they are unaware of what a "certified... View More

Welcome to the world of civil litigation, where having a skilled trial lawyer often makes the difference between losing and winning. Teaching point: Regardless of what the official document is, "the smoking gun" notwithstanding, most courts will not allow introduction of any document... View More
The IRS transcripts say that a fund in my name was sold from a Fidelity account. I have never had an account of any sort with Fidelity or any financial company at all. I was given the name and address of the seller. This action seems like fraud perpetrated as a Trust. How do I get a copy of the... View More

Since the IRS rarely makes mistakes of this size (trust me), you are advised to consult an experienced lawyer to help you find out what happened and then to advise you what to do about it. In today's world of high-tech communication-- and rampant bank fraud-- you do not need a Connecticut tax... View More

Hire an immigration attorney to fully analyze your case and represent you in removal proceedings. The spousal visa process is more complicated when you have an immigration court case.

It's only been 20 days since you applied. I'm not sure if your application was correct if you did it on your own, which may be the cause for delay. You should contact an experienced immigration attorney for assistance.

USCIS was recently sued successfully, so it is supposed to only take 30 days. That said, historically it takes about 4 months.
I got a letter from the IRS saying I have to return the earned income credit. My ex wife has “custodial custody” although according to our divorce we share joint physical custody.

File an appeal and present your evidence. Just remember the IRS rules and your state custody laws are not the same.

You should consult an immigration attorney to calculate the number of days on the asylum clock. Sometimes the clock is stopped without you being aware of it. If you truly have over 180 days, you are eligible to file for employment authorization.
I'm sponsoring my mother for a green card. Her daughter is under 21... if she adds her to her petition so that they can get approved together, do I have to sponsor her daughter (my half-sister)? Or can my mother be her sponsor once she gets her green card?
answered on Mar 8, 2019
Children are not derivative beneficiaries of the petition. Your half-sister cannot be included or added to the petition. If you need assistance, you should contact an experienced immigration attorney.
When my company buys plugs say 72 ct the royalty will be one price, if we buy the same plant in a 32 ct the royalty will be higher in some cases. How can that be?
answered on Feb 19, 2019
I think that it depends on what your contract states. It appears that there is a volume discount at play.
answered on Feb 19, 2019
No. There are many cases where a contract between the patent owner and the licensee stipulated that the licensee will pay royalties even after the patent expires or is found invalid. In such cases, courts have always ruled that such stipulations are not enforceable, under the theory that such... View More
