Is there a legal obligation to get involved in her estate? I prefer to let nature takes it's course.
If she doesn't have any assets that need to be retitled, there is nothing you need to do.
Hi, I live in Missouri and have a rental business. Every month I have to go through 1-4 evictions. Most judgments I get are never paid. This is an ongoing issue. To make things easier, I have created a spreadsheet that fills out forms for Rent and Possession, Unlawful Detainers and Garnishment... Read more »
Rent and Possession petitions and Unlawful Detainer petitions need not be filed using the forms made available by the Missouri judiciary or your local circuit court. I am not certain but believe that the garnishment forms on the available at https://www.courts.mo.gov/page.jsp?id=103116 and your... Read more »
I am filing a garnishment form (CV92) in Missouri. I am confused on if the Debtor or the Employer is the Respondent. I have Googled this and it's about a 50/50 split. So who do I list as the Respondent? The Debtor or the Employer?
The petitioner and respondent are the parties to the underlying lawsuit. Respondent in the caption is not the employer.
I'm not sure what you mean by "a statement on yourself."
No. The 18-year-old is not a girl but rather a woman.
He also said he was investigating me for 22 days and built a case and closed my file and is turning it in to the PA and that charges will be filed.
What's a "criminal intelligence investigator"? Make sure this isn't a scam.
It could depend on who was on the other end and if that person is a party to the suit and whether you provide that it is authentic and whether you overcome any hearsay objection.
Yes, Missouri has a strong consumer protection statutes, the Merchandising Practices Act (MPA).
The MPA can be a defendant’s nightmare. It covers consuer contracts and creates liability for even innocent misrepresentations:
1. The act, use or employment by any person of any... Read more »

You've not indicated anything about your living arrangement, i.e., is it a hotel, motel, apartment, or room in someone's residence. Without knowing more, it's impossible to answer your question. I suggest you report or edit your post if possible.
my uncle died in 2017. at the time i was incarcerated in the missouri state prison system. Over the phone i was informed by a family member that my uncle willed me an inheritance. The family member refused to tell me how much money i was entitled to. To avoid being heavily taxed due to the state's... Read more »
You can get a copy from the probate court where your uncle's probate case was commenced.
What is going to happen in court?
Lawyers are very intelligent and highly trained professionals--but we are not soothsayers; nor do we do crystal balls. Therefore, I am constrained by a fundamental law of the universe (no one can foretell the future) and unable to opine on your current dilemma.
I was injured at work and was told that I needed back surgery because I had a compressed disc so I went through with it and it didn't help at all now I have scar tissue that prevents me from having any further surgeries to help me this was during a comp case I am disabled now and the doctors say... Read more »
I'm sorry for your ordeal with your injury and ensuing surgery. Unfortunately, an attorney can't really make a call on this based on these brief facts, despite the admission made by the doctor you describe. What they can do is request your medical records, including diagnostic imaging studies, and... Read more »
I pay my rent online the website has always said my rent is 800. My lease says 850 which I did not know as I just renewed my lease without reading it. I am now being charged back rent for the extra 50 that I have not been paying. If it has always said 800 on their website is it legal for them to... Read more »
It's not a matter of legal v. illegal but rather a matter of what your contract states. It sounds like you've been underpaying rent due to a mutual mistake but that you owe the amount stated in the contract.
You should have read your new lease before signing it. The failure to read a... Read more »

I have had this dog since the 5th of this month with no response from the owner since about the tenth
You would be wise to review the property laws in your state and/or to visit with an attorney. Do not risk being charged with theft of property for failure to turn it back over to the original owner.
We have an inspection contingency in the contract and after the inspection came back with mold and other significant findings we decided to cancel the contract. The seller is not signing the release for the title company to release our funds. How can we get our earnest money back? Can the... Read more »
Sometimes sellers can be frustrated when a contract falls through. As long as your cancellation of the contract was within the time provided by the contract you are entitled to return of your earnest money deposit. An attorney can help you with this issue.
Can state take my property if I have a will ,just trying to look what I should do? I’m live in Illinois
A living will specifies in advance how a person wants medical treatment to be administered if they are permanently unconscious or terminally ill and therefore unable to express their wishes. A living will can cover topics such as whether or not you wish to be resuscitated if you stop breathing or... Read more »
My sons dad passed away leaving his car to our son, naming our son TOD on title. The car not only was not returned to him but later,forged the title. I can't afford a lawyer. What else can I do?
Start by taking your son and the paperwork that you have to your local motor vehicle department and explain the situation to them. Also file a police report for auto theft.
My landlord never advised that plants on property were toxic to dogs. I accumulated about $2,500 in vet bills trying to save my dog to no avail. Can I ask my landlord to reimburse?
I am sorry that your dog got poisoned, but I'm not aware of any Missouri case on point. My gut feeling is that a landlord is not under a duty to advise a tenant of plants that are toxic to animals. Here is a link to an old Missouri Court of Appeals case, Grimmeissen v. Walgreen Drug Stores, 229... Read more »
I have not been able to pay rent due to illness and unable to work
Unfortunately, a tenant's financial and physical conditions are not relevant to whether a writ of execution may issue and be carried out. You can certainly filed whatever you wish but, realistically, it won't be granted and the execution will likely be carried out before you could get your motion... Read more »
