You can be trespassed because you have blue eyes. "When I started asking questions.." is the issue. You obviously ticked this guy off with your questions. Next time, don't let there be a next time.

Just curious if a waiver I was pressured to sign is legally bounding or mean anything. Thanks
answered on Sep 27, 2023
You signed a waiver AFTER they injured your dog?? A waiver that explicitly provides that you cannot make a claim against them for injuring your dog???

Yes, assuming the contract has not yet been performed, notify them, in writing, that you no longer need them to do the work.

We used our mortgage to help refinance our business vehicle. We may need to file bankruptcy for the business. Will it hurt our mortgage loan?
answered on Sep 13, 2023
The answer mostly depends upon the type of *legal*entity that you've put the business into. A corporation, LLC, etc., is eligible to file a bankruptcy itself, as is a partnership.

Yes, when a non-profit corporation is dissolved, the assets covered by the asset-distribution clause applies to real property such as that in Mexico. It's essentially a matter of federal law, so it doesn't much matter whether the non-profit was incorporated in Florida, California, or elsewhere.
