You can hire an attorney to search the title and examine the Probate Case to evaluate it yourself. Sometimes some heirs are not cooperative, but could be persuaded. But sometimes the title is bad and cannot be properly conveyed. Claims may be affecting the solvency of the Estate, or... View More

Get out your bankruptcy petition and see if the creditor was listed as a scheduled debt. If not, it was not discharged. You need to look at the Judgment which is probably a lien against you of record at the Register of Deeds. If the Judgment is legitimate, then there is no defense to the `10... View More
Someone saw the video and reported it to the cruise lines. And I was banned for life. Not for getting caught for smoking weed. Banned because of a video of me smoking onboard. Can I sue?
answered on Jul 9, 2024
They'll do that. The short answer is that cruise lines have a no-marijuana policy. It's possible the video was flagged as a violation of policies, and that it could be used as evidence in subsequent proceedings if it appeared on social media or other public forums. Good luck

Filing a Complaint without knowing most of the facts could get you repossessed. Hire an attorney to look at your financing statement. Then you and him start calling the noteholder, whoever that is. Some corporation searches will also be necessary. Determining the actual lienholder may be a... View More

Defendant can claim the Statute of Frauds unless there is a writing, even a cashed check. General Sessions suit will cost about a third of your prospective judgment. If you get a judgment by default including costs, you will still have to work to collect it.

It is a matter of contract, not of law. Based on the information you provided, if a contract with a self-storage company provides that insurance is required, there is no law prohibiting that provision. For example, many landlords require residential tenants to have renter's insurance.... View More
I sell traffic control devices and want to bid on a contract with the county in TN. The price will be above $25,000. Do I need a contractors license to bid if I'm not providing a service? I am a wholesale company only. If so, which contractor license would I need?

If you are only selling them the device, that should not expose you to Tennessee contractor laws. But if you are performing any work, or paying someone else to perform the work for the installation you probably are subject to the contractor statutes. This question is pretty complicated and will be... View More

A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Attorneys here aren't likely to know this off the top of their heads. It might be more reliable to check with the purchasing/procurement department manager of the county - it could depend on how they wrote... View More

If the title to the vehicle is in your former boyfriend's name and does not list a lien holder, this typically means there is no legal claim on the vehicle from the bank, as it usually would be listed if there was an outstanding loan secured by the vehicle. However, if there was an error and... View More

Even if your contract is ironclad it is usually not worth the bad will and emotional drain to litigate.

If your loan agreement does mention this type of daily charge, it's... View More
