It doesn't, necessarily. If signed on behalf of an entity, the person who signed would need legal authority to bind the entity, otherwise the entity may rightly say they are not responsible for the contract.
If talking about individuals, then whomever signed it may be held responsible.

Truth In Lending covers what must be disclosed by lenders to consumers. It's impossible to summarize what is a voluminous piece of legislation covering many different scenarios. If you have any doubts about what is presented to you by a car dealership, or any other lender, you should consult... View More

There's no easy way to part ways when you own a house together. Best case scenario is similar to what's done in a divorce: you figure out the equity in the house, split that, and pay him his half in exchange for him signing a quit claim deed to you so that you own the house outright. If... View More
We went to trial in Arbitration and the Judge awarded the plaintiff an amount.

Maybe. You can contact an attorney, although it reads like you have counsel.

Workers comp claims take awhile. Your attorney probably knows very well the timeline and process. You could consult with another workers comp attorney, but they may tell you the same.
Of the Gov.Cera plan, or MSHDA. He proceeded to tell me how he doesn't think I have a disability, I should go back to work
He's in pain everyday and he works, He doesn't feel as tho anyone should be on disability.Any insight, Because I'm really

Are you already renting under MSHDA or some other program? Your landlord does not get to decide if you are disabled or whether you qualify under any program.
Co-signer has passed away, May 10, 2021. Wife came to me, discussing financial issues, asked me if I wanted to purchase car. I gave her $500.00 as a downpayment, wrote up a sales agreement, we both signed. It stated the money paid, amt due for complete pay-off, July 1st, 2021.

Yes, quite likely, but against your friend. Your first priority should be to determine who actually owns the car - whose name is on the title? Because if it's the person who the husband co-signed for, that person could claim the car stolen. OR, the bank or whomever made the original loan could... View More

No. But have you tried filing for a debtor's exam with the court? If debtor doesn't show up, you can ask the court for a bench warrant. If they do show up, they must produce information regarding their assets under oath.
I signed a contract with the individual that he would replace the fencing around my property. After the check cleared for the down payment, he has stopped returning my messages. What are my legal options?

Yes, unless the accepted offer was already revoked prior to acceptance.

Unless other facts exist, I don't see why the May 20th agreement would not be binding. By accepting you as a tenant with HUD services, your landlord is obligated to follow their protocol.

The incarcerated person would not lose their interest in the land simply for being incarcerated.

No. Incarcerated individuals retain legal title and ownership over assets acquired before their sentence.
I’ve moved my furniture out of the place, returned my keys, and have started the process of returning my deposit. Is there a written agreement in Michigan specifically that is required?
answered on Apr 14, 2021
A lease is a contract. Generally, the parties are bound by the provisions of a signed lease. Turning in the keys is a unilateral step only. Without the landlord's release, you would still be obligated on the contract.

In the briefest terms, the seller is probably not exempt.

And now I find out that apparently there are utilities besides consumers connected to the apartment how can I hold them accountable for never giving me this information

It looks like your question is originating in Ohio, but in the Michigan law section.
There just isn't enough information to provide even a remote answer, regardless you'll probably need to contact an attorney directly for a consultation on this.

I think we'll need more information to offer an insight.
Depending on the power of the co-op board, it might be able to dictate certain guidelines, there are sometimes 'reasonable' boundaries, but oftentimes what is ever is written in the bylaws controls.
The contract expires 3/8/2021. We notified the waste removal company that we intend not to renew the contract on 2/23/2021, but contract terms force us into renewal unless a certified letter was mailed on or prior to 1/8/2021. We are not happy with service, and we would like to avoid this ongoing... View More

The renewal provision is probably enforceable.

She's not on any bills or the rental agreement however we have lived together for a year now. She refused to move continues to tell me to "evict her" do I have to go through an official eviction processor is there another way?
answered on Feb 22, 2021
If she is holding over after a 'legal' lease (whether or not her name is on anything the facts you present make her a 'legal' tenant on a month to month basis at the very least) you DO need to go through an eviction process if she refuses to move out voluntarily.

Were you supposed to make the monthly payments? It is not clear in your question.
Not a lot you can do to avoid this debt. Despite the lack of notice, you (or your grandpa) was required to make the payment. When the payment is not made, default occurs. The creditor can then proceed with... View More
