Q: This Stranger took us to court for possession of our house and lost. Judgement was decided against her.
8 months later because she saw boards on our house she stole all the contents, ID's then changed deed to her name. Stranger not heir.
This appears to have civil and criminal components. Call the police to report what happened. Then you can consider suing the person for damages. A deed change requires a Supreme Court lawsuit.

There appears to be a lot more to your story than you have been able to post here. It would probably be necessary to sit down with an attorney and take the time to fully explain your situation to receive meaningful advice.

Q: My situation concerns a religious organization who has made it clear that they would like me to be dead before 2020.
The members are very secretive and will almost never communicate any message in plain English. They won't say they're going to kill you but by watching them and adding things up, it's clear that they want to kill me.

Your issue does not appear to be something that could be worked out in a court of law and I do not believe a court order would sway the members you refer to from carrying out the execution order once it is issued. I would recommend you contact the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem... Read more »

This sounds like some sort of an insider electronic hacking situation. If the amount of money is worth it, try hiring a lawyer to take up the job of fighting with the USAA bureaucracy instead of you having to do it. The first order of business would be to move all the money you still have at USAA... Read more »
Q: why is the case about my daughter's abuse posted for everyone to see on google?
i just googled my name because my sister said all my information is all over the internet i dont understand how my daughter's information about being sexually abused and putting the man away is all on the court documents where everyone can see as soon as you search my name.
That is a good question. But how is any lawyer with that limited information to know why the information is on the world wide web
Q: Can I still file married joint if my spouse's SSN has been filed on another return?
My spouse is incarcerated and it appears that their ssn was e-filed on a return by someone already without permission.
Be very careful here. If you attempt to file jointly after your spouse (or someone else posing as your spouse) has filed, the IRS will likely notice the duplicity in SSANs--and will possibly hold YOU responsible. The last thing either of you two need is the IRS coming after you.
Q: The IRS says that I received $29,000 and taxed me for it. I never received this money, what to do?
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... Read 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... Read more »

Q: How do I repesent myself in identity theft charges?
That's an incredibly tough question.

Does the dead man rule apply since it isnt a civil matter or is it not dropped sincr the state picked up the charges
Any crime could prosecuted with a dead alleged victim; not just crimes like murder and manslaughter.

The only thing that links me to the charges is the victims word and that my phone was used in the situation.
Your phone being used could make a prima facie that you were involved. You need to hire a competent criminal defense attorney to represent you.
Q: Can trademarked brand names be used for different product categories, or are they owned solely for all categories?
By this, I mean if there was a trademarked brand name VOLVIC for example, files as food and drinks, couldn’t this name be used for any other product, or can it be used for products in other categories such as beauty products etc.?
