You should really sit down with an attorney who practices in this area and discuss your objectives. My partner, Cecilia Guecia, has considerable experience in this area and I am sure she would be happy to talk with you. She can be reached at (207) 846-6111.

There are possible sophisticated strategies available, but timing is critical, and you would really want to consult with an attorney who specializes in this area.

If judgment has entered against you, you can possibly appeal if the time period to file an appeal has not run. There may also be a lack of notice issue, but I can't tell from these facts. In any event, if judgment has entered, it would not be a counterclaim, you would need to bring a new... View More

i would love to answer this question but it is really vague. i dont usually hear a court "requesting" any thing. Courts usuallly issue orders which are not requests. if you can explain in more detail what is happening then i might be able to give you a better answer.

A: Yes; in fact, there may be a duty for a person who has control of a will of someone who has died to deliver it to either the Personal Representative named in the will or the Probate Court in the county in which the person died (18-A M.R.S.A. Sec. 2-902). A will simply lets people know how the... View More

Is there an arrest warrant ?

This sounds hypothetically as if it would constitute trespass, a misdemeanor-level offense. However, I'm not certain that under these circumstances you would be charged. Another concern would be a property owner who thinks a trespasser is there to cause harm and accordingly shooting said trespasser.

Your mother should write a will in which she nominates you as the Personal Representative (PR) of her estate. I do not know of any form that should be filed with the Probate Court before she passes. After she passes, you would file the will and Petition to court for you to be appointed as PR.... View More

Hi there.

Tough situation, of course, but there is good news and bad news for you.

The good news is that the courts will only look back over the past six years, not the full 11. The other good news is that many payments you made to her toward support of your second child (clothing,... View More

Because the founding fathers wrote it that way in 1789

I just answered this on your other post, but let me know if you still have questions.

This will depend on the bylaws or internal rules of the resort/management company. I'm guessing this is a smaller resort because most of the large companies (headquartered in Orlando) that I've worked with wouldn't do this unless all ownership was combined into one unified points system.

It depends on the law in your jurisdiction. For example, Illinois has law directly on point of your question. You should ask this question to the lawyer handling your case or an attorney in your area.

There is no way for us to know what the prosecution will be seeking in your case, but in my experience defendants with little or no criminal history who face misdemeanor-level theft charges are generally offered a fine and restitution if they plead guilty.

I am sure they think you are mentally ill. You need to prove them wrong. You need to seek out a psychiatrist they know nothing about and have at least three sessions. Then provide the authorities with the proof and they may listen to you

First you need to see if he left a will. if so did he name a personal representative, if he did it was probably his wife unless he changed his will after filing for divorce. Second you need to check how the real estate was held ie joint tenants or tenants in common. If joint tenants as most people... View More

You have raised a number of issues. It seems to me as if the most important point is that there is someone living in your deceased mother's house who doesn't have a right to live there. Even if someone has permission from someone else to live there, the person living there should be... View More

If there are no easement rights to walk on the beach or any other basis for permission, then it is essentially trespassing. You need to be sure that the beach is part of the land that is owned, and that should be provided for in the property deed. No Trespassing signs can be posted, and even... View More

In regards to the US citizenship aspect of your question, you are not limited/restricted as to how much time you can spend outside of the USA.

you can file a motion to modify the order giving the father sole parental rights to change the contact provisions and primary residence etc. you will have to show something has changed since the order giving sole rights to dad. That would be your son's reaction to living with his dad. Of... View More
