Know the difference between the legal name of the business and the trade name, if there is a difference. As an example, Coke could be the trade name for the Coco-Cola Company, Inc. (legal name). You might want to register the trade name with the state's Secretary of State's Office,... View More

The corporation can authorize anyone to sign on its behalf. It could be an officer of the corporation like the president, a vice president, or treasurer. It could be an employee. It could even be someone who does not work for the corporation at all.
Typically, either the corporation... View More

Based on the information you provided, it seems that you have a strong case against the defendant, as she has admitted to taking the money and not returning it in a handwritten confession. However, it is concerning that one year has passed without a resolution to your case.

Quorum was met for an election for the first time at special meeting yesterday. 2/4 candidates didn't show up. I received the most votes, but now board is saying one candidate had to receive 51% of the vote and no one received that so now board will elect the candidate they want. They... View More

The requirement for a candidate to receive 51% of the vote may depend on the specific language of the condominium association's bylaws. If the bylaws state that a majority vote is required for election, it typically means a simple majority of the votes cast, not necessarily 51% of all units.... View More

A Massachusetts attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It could depend on the guidelines spelled out in holding that office, whether conflicts of interest arise from being involved in both areas, and other factors. Good luck

You can register the car in New Hampshire directly if you establish residency there before taking possession of the vehicle. Since you haven't taken delivery yet and will be a New Hampshire resident when the car arrives, you should be able to register it in NH without needing to register it in... View More
The sheriffs office told me that they charge $3500 to remove him if he doesn’t leave.
That seems very expensive, especially since I’m evicting a non paying tenant.
Thank you
answered on Jan 15, 2024
I do not understand the actual question. Once you receive an execution for possession, it needs to be served and the sheriff (or constable) need to oversee the removal of the tenants personal property from the leased premise by a moving company and stored in a bonded storage facility. This is all... View More
Our daughter and boyfriend signed a housing lease. 4 months remain. Our minor grandson (10) visits and stays in his own room on the weekends. The boyfriend states his financial obligation moving forward, will be 1/3 of the rent. The boyfriend did make less money than our daughter when they signed,... View More
answered on Oct 4, 2023
I assume the lease states your daughter and the boyfriend are 'jointly and severally' liable for the rent. This means that each is liable for the entire rent. In the event of dispute, the landlord can seek the entire rent from either your daughter or the boyfriend or both. I don't... View More

You can dispute whether the attorney actually performed the services described in the invoice and whether they are reasonable and necessary with the Fee Arbitration Board.

Considering almost all police officers are masons, and all judges are absolutely masons, I'm curious if all the attorneys are also of the masonic fraternity? Ladies eastern star? Is it a requirement?
answered on Aug 19, 2023
There is no requirement for attorneys or judges to be masons.
There is no data on how many lawyers or how many judges are masons.
No doubt some are. No doubt most are not.

A Massachusetts, Arizona, or Washington D.C. attorney could advise best, but your question is two days old, and I wanted to respond to your question before you took action in this regard.

You should consult the terms of the contract with the dog training company. That should outline what your rights and responsibilities are. If you feel your termination was an unfair and deceptive act or practice, and you are entitled to a refund, prepare a demand letter under G.L. c. 93A. For... View More
