My wife is that persons sister and was never notified. Is it the lawyers responsibility to verify that all this data is correct?
answered on Jun 24, 2024
She likely needed to determine the interested parties in the estate and serve them notice of the probate. I am confident the attorney would have asked about any siblings. What is your wife going to do now?

I admit I do not have experience with your specific situation; and research and analysis are required. I did, however, want to comment. You ex's abuse (if proven) isn't necessary a breach of contract. Your investment in the property doesn't necessarily mean you are entitled to any... View More

If you’re inside the US, he can sponsor you to adjust status for your green card after you get married. There is an issue of “intent” when you enter the US with a visitor visa as to whether you’re intending to visit or stay permanently. Sometimes the officer will ask you questions and look... View More

A Minnesota attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Double-check that with an attorney experienced with the traffic court protocols of your state. Unfortunately, in many places, producing a card is not sufficient any longer. The court may require a letter from the... View More

It sounds like you were pulled over on suspicion of a DUI and the police officer searched the car and allegedly discovered a controlled substance in the vehicle. It is pretty atypical for someone to be charged separately for alleged offenses arising from the same incident, but it is permissible and... View More

You need to follow your conditions of supervised release. If supervised release requires sobriety, you need to remain sober. If you have a prescription for medical marijuana, then you need to get your pot from a dispensary. I'm not sure why she is requiring you to do MRT, but you are likely... View More

For 2024, the federal estate tax exemption is $12.92 million per individual. This means that an estate valued below this amount... View More

Given the small amount of money involved, it would not likely be worth the administrative overhead of setting up the file even if you were paying the attorney on an hourly fee basis. And it's way too small for a contingency fee. Most very small cases like this (under $15,000) can be... View More

You can carry your firearm in your vehicle as long as it is unloaded and in the closed trunk of your vehicle. If you want immediate access to the firearm, you need a permit to carry. The law does not regard self-defense as an excuse to not not have a permit to carry.

Get a permit. You cannot legally transfer a loaded gun without a permit. You certainly could be charged with carrying in public without a permit and there is no guarantee that anyone is going to simply accept a claim that you acted in self-defense.
