Based on the facts provided, it would likely not be legal for the non-executor sibling to place a lien on the inherited property to prevent the sale after contracts have been started. Here are some key considerations:
- If there are multiple heirs, the executors have authority to sell... View More

Your boyfriend's ability to pursue legal action for recognition as the builder in published photos of his work would depend on the terms of any contract he had with the company and on copyright laws related to authorship and works made for hire.

Hello,
Utah is an at-will employment state. Meaning that either one of you can terminate the employer/employee relationship at any time for any reason.
From your description, I am not sure if you are a 1099 employee or an actual employee. Unless you are on salary I don't see... View More

What is more important than the certificate is how long you have been married. Clerks make errors on certificates all the time, but that does not automatically void them. Similarly, who signs the certificate and when are not normally a problem.

I was working online remotely for a company based out of California as an independent contractor and they were due to pay the remainder of what they owed us and they never did. The total came out to over $9000 and all attempts to get them to pay have been met with dead ends.
answered on May 30, 2023
You mentioned in your prompt that they agreed to a contract. I assume that means that you have a contract signed by the company regarding the terms of your services. First look to the contract and see what it says under default.
If you are just using the word "contract" as a... View More
Employer gave us the option of "quit or relocate" and the relocation package offer has a term stating they'll only pay for relocation expenses (minus taxes) 30 days after they receive a copy of the signed lease. I'm located in UT. Company is in CA.

You don't really get "pay" for relocating, it could be a job benefit to receive expenses for relocation. It would not be proper for any employer, CA or UT to withhold your wages for failing to provide proof of a lease agreement. Wages are earned for work performed, not relocation.... View More

Ordinarily, it's none of anybody's business. But since your situation involves proving your housing expenses to receive relocation reimbursement, it would probably be deemed reasonable by most people. Employment law attorneys could advise best about any state statutes that might... View More
I bought a service contract 23 days ago, and it says you can only cancel within 10 days.

You may be able to fight this contract but additional information would be needed to give a meaningful evaluation. Typically, when you sign a contract you are expected to know the contents thereof and often times such contracts disclaim representation made by employees regarding the contract. It is... View More

No. Your non-payment constitutes a prior material breach that authorized them to sell your stuff and excuses their breach of the NDA.

Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your car. I am unsure what you are asking when you say "emissions being done". Are you asking whether a dealership has a duty to make sure the emissions are compliant with state law prior to sale? Or are you saying something else?

This depends on the ownerhip of the account. If they owned the account as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, then the grandmother would only be able to access the account if she were claiming some spousal share of her husband, but she would first have to go through a court proceeding to get...

The contract price was $2,035. I was charged $2,700. I did not even realize it until now. Am I entitled to the $665 back?
answered on Apr 22, 2022
Yes,
You are. If the contract had price listed as $2,035, and they charged $2,700, then you are due a refund of the amount. Have you contacted the seller yet? I can't imagine that they would have a problem issuing a refund.
Contact them first and as soon as you can. This... View More
My lease ends this month and the apartment complex says that I need to give them 60 days notice that I'm moving out. I've never heard of needing to this. If I have to comply I'll be paying a ton more for a month to month contract which I don't want to do.
answered on Mar 16, 2022
The answer lies in your rental agreement. Does it require 60 days notice?
5 months but did neither. We signed just a generic paper contract but didn’t have a notary or anything. My question is? Can she come after us for not paying the breeding fee and if so would the contract hold anything in court where it wasn’t witnessed or signed by a notary? Thank you for your time
answered on Feb 14, 2022
Having a notary is better evidence, but it is not required to prove a contract was signed. If you get to court and the judge asks you whether you signed the contract, and you say no, that is perjury, which if proven, can get you some time in jail.
