To transfer the vehicle from Indiana to Kentucky, you’ll need to go through a few legal steps since your stepfather didn’t have a will and probate court was avoided. The executor (his sister) generally has the authority to handle the vehicle transfer, but if certain documents must go through... View More

If your friend has a warrant for not showing up to court, even though they did, they should act quickly to address the situation.

Yes, you can sue the person you co-signed for if you end up paying the loan on their behalf. When you co-sign a loan, you’re agreeing to be responsible for the debt if the primary borrower doesn’t pay, but that doesn’t erase their obligation to repay the loan.
If the borrower defaults... View More

A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Until you are able to speak with a local attorney or a court clerk for the applicable court, in general, motion hours are set by a court. But the motions are usually made by attorneys. Good luck

1. Legal action against the seller: If the seller knowingly misrepresented the property's acreage, you might have grounds for a lawsuit based on fraud or misrepresentation. Consult with a real estate... View More

To me it’s defamation of character

A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. You're correct; it is defamation. You could sue.

We only have a membership of around 10 people and I’m concerned if someone got hurt and sued the church it would come back to the members.
