Your cousin should have already contacted an Indiana estate attorney to handle the estate. There is no problem with having two co-personal representatives. Your attorney can prepare the paperwork.

You can't close a police investigation. The best thing to do is get lawyered up, don't talk to anyone, and don't talk to the police about it especially! If they don't think they have enough evidence to charge, it will eventually blow over.

The number? Why would you need that? Are you talking about a phone number? You can probably look that up on the internet.
My lawyer didn't submit any of my paper work at all to meet the deadline. He openly admitted that he has lied to us for months now about our case when all along it had been closed/dismissed for months. He said we can do 1 of 2 things.. 1. Give him an amount we feel we should receive 2. Go seek... View More

How is it that strangers on the internet who know nothing but what you have written, which is nowhere near enough, are supposed to be able to tell you what you ask?

You have not given enough facts here at all. Do you have children with the ex and the ex is taking the children? You need to go see a family attorney in your area if that is the case. The ex might need to follow the law in your state for this, and it might require your written permission or a court... View More

This is no different than any other attorney hiring. Check referrals from friends, bar association referral services, internet, yellow pages. You could google PCR attorneys in Indiana and find appellate case decisions and see who the attorneys were.

If the final decision seemed unfair to you, then you should contact an attorney to file a Motion to Set Aside under the catch all provision.

I do not know of any restricions on the use of body armor other than in the commission of a felony.
answered on Jul 21, 2011
i don't know of any law that prohibits that and would seriously doubt that there would be any legal consequences for doing so.

there aren't enough facts to give you a precise answer. although the person may be guilty of stupidity depending on the circumstances it doesn't sound like a criminal offense. of course there might be public intoxication, disturbing the peace, etc depending on what was involved. hope this helps.

There would be a need for someone who knows sign language to interpret. This is no different then if the witness only spoke a foreign language.
