I am being sued for default on a private loan that I was duped into. I wasn't informed the loan was approved nor did I accept it. The funds were disbursed to a 3rd party without my knowledge and I only learned of the situation after the fact.

My boyfriend still lives with his mother because she can't afford living in the house by herself; however, she just sold the house while he is still living in it. Does he have any rights? Thank you
answered on Mar 25, 2017
No, unless he is going to claim that he was a tenant or he loaned her funds. As a Tenant he is entitled to some notice for termination. The only question is did he loan her any money or did she promise him something and can it be proved.

As PR you CAN claim reimbursement from any 'out of pocket' expenses. Be sure to document the payment and amount. This 'reimbursement' is usually not an issue, and you probably SHOULD reimburse yourself.
You can also claim 'wages' for the time and effort put... View More

answered on Feb 15, 2017
It depends on the terms of the will. You may be a devisee but the devise to you might be only a few dollars. If you are the only devisee and only beneficiary, you might be entitled to a greater portion of the estate. It just depends. If you think the assets of the probate estate have not been... View More
Our father died without a will in 2012. His home in Frankfort Maine went to his wife, our stepmom, the surviving widow.
It seems that she, and her family never got the property legally put into her name. She died this past fall, also without a will, and her children are having trouble... View More

Assuming everything you have written above is correct, then I do not see any conflict. You all seem to be in agreement that the property should go to your step-mother's children. The only concern I would have is if you or your siblings do not understand whatever document you are asked to sign.... View More
of my estate?
answered on Oct 26, 2016
It would be best to talk to an estate planning lawyer about your specific situation, but the short answer is that you could leave your girlfriend a "life estate" in the house in a will (or codicil to an existing will), with the remainder going to your children. The life estate would mean... View More

answered on Apr 28, 2016
You have not given me enough information to say for sure. If the spouse has made a statement under oath which he/she knew was not true there is a case for perjury or false swearing. There may also be a civil case for abuse of process if you can prove the spouse deliberately misused the judicial... View More

I live next door to my son. I own and insure his house. His daughter's friend fell off a trampoline and broke her arm very badly. Am I liable for this?
answered on Nov 16, 2015
Anyone can sue for anything but that doesn't necessarily means it's a good lawsuit. Best to have a good homeowner's insurance policy.

I don't know what "documents verifying non ownership" would be, other than a statement by them that they don't think they own it.
You need to do a title search to figure out who has record title. If it is landlocked, chances are that one or more of the adjoining... View More

answered on Nov 2, 2015
What are the facts here? Generally, a felony is a crime for which a person can go to prison for more than one year.

If you justifiably missed a court date because of an accident, for instance, you would want to move for a rehearing. If not, your chances of an appeal are very slim.

Hire a private criminal defense attorney for the son. It seems to me from what you have written that he should not have been charged because he was there with permission from the cousin.

You have not given enough facts here. I suspect that there is a contract involved, but you said nothing about that.
