Suppose these are the facts: Joe owns a house and has a mortgage on it. He devises the house to Sam, his friend, in his Will. Joe dies, Sam takes possession of the house. The mortgage is not paid. The bank can absolutely foreclose on the house but cannot hold Sam personally responsible for the debt.

I don't know what "dss" means, but in any case, a question on a NC limitations period must be asked of a NC attorney. Since your inquiry is indicated to be from Sebring, Fla., mostly Fla. attorneys (like me) will see your post. Also, legal advice on the filing deadline specific to... View More
So far all the banks I've asked denied financing. I've asked USBank, Bank of America, Regions, Wells F, etc for a loan to help in finding a job, move to a different state, or for personal things and they have all denied. It's a bit surprising because I thought that was the point of a... View More

No, a lawyer cannot sue private institutions to force them to establish you credit. As long as the lenders are not denying you based on a protected class such as race, religion, national origin, sex, or one of the other few protected classes, they are not breaking any laws. Not having a job or a... View More

1) You can do it. Find a form online, or get help from his attorney, and check with the bank before you get your friend to sign it to see if it will be accepted. The bank may have its own form it prefers.
2) No.
3) Aren't you going to mail it to him care of the jail?... View More

My bank (credit union, actually), with whom I have had accounts for over 25 years, recently froze all of my accounts (2 checking, 2 savings) with assets totaling over $180k, without any warning or notice. The reason they gave for this is that I had an outstanding balance on my credit card (issued... View More

No, but unless you hire a lawyer to contact the credit union for you they will continue acting silly.

There are a few distinct issues involved in your inquiry: the recognition of a Brazilian Arbitration Award and the attachment of US Company assets. (In order to answer, I will of course assume all the facts you stated are true unless they are contradictory.)

You have no obligation to pay anything to the mortgage company, merely an obligation to hold the funds you received from the "family member". You should pay those funds to whomever the "family member" tells you to pay. And, by the way, if the "family member"... View More

Yes. IMO, you should be happy you are a member of the credit union. Most financial institutions are harsher than credit unions: state and federal banks just close your accounts and do not let you do any more business with them, ever.

I need someone to help me in claiming the surplus. What kind of lawyer do I look for . And how much is the charges?... View More
answered on Jun 29, 2022
You may be able to reinstate the LLC by paying the required amount to the Department of Corporations. If that's possible and the LLC is once again active, you may be able to negotiate the check. Checks have an expiration date, so you don't want to wait too long.
Then the land was put into auction I think. Now they gave me a surplus disbursement check . I cannot claim it directly with my name ,on my country. How can I claim the money. I was planing to open another LLC same name but my country don’t have LLC. They have LLP or BHD . Or Can I hire a lawyer... View More

A lawyer cannot "claim" it for you, but can help you navigate this transaction. I recommend contacting the county or whomever issued you the check to re-issue it to you individually in your name. If that does not work, you may need a lawyer to figure out next steps.

HSBC is one of the largest international banks on earth, so no, you cannot sue them by yourself. Nor will you convince any experienced Florida lawyer to do it for you, unless you plunk down at least $250,000 up front.

I would receive money from them, buy bitcoin, then send out the bitcoin to a wallet. I would receive a percentage from these transactions as a fee. Is this illegal in any sorts? Is it potentially fraud or money laundering?

This is either a scam aimed at stealing from you or one of the thousands of money-laundering schemes that the Fed, the IRS, the FBI, and the DOJ are now busting.
