You do not have to ever record a Deed. But if you do not, then the Deed is only controlling between the Parties in the Deed, with no notice to the world of title. Without recording, others can claim title instead of the actual owner.

This is a worker's compensation question. Repost in that category for a better answer. You need to consult an attorney in your local area that practices this kind of law. Thank you for using Justia Ask a Lawyer. Short answer, some states require it unless you have opted out before the injury.
The fee is part of the fuel tank rental agreement. However, I am not the property owner. I did not enter into an agreement regarding the tank/fee. Can I be legally billed this fee?

Since you apparently did not agree to these terms, it's very doubtful that you are directly liable for it. But be careful, the owner, presumably your landlord, may be liable and he/she may be able to pass the costs onto you through the Lease.
I want to know how to protect myself legally from being extorted, violating 18 U.S.C. § 1470- Transfer of obscene material to minors, or just in general accidentally sending NSFW content to a minor because I have no idea who is on the other end of the profile looking to purchase my nude...

is it better to ask for all names to be on the lease or use a separate contract between the 4 tenants so the one who actually signs the lease is not 100% responsible. Thanks

I'm not sure I follow the question and I think anyone who wants to answer you will need more information.

My car was leaking power steering fluid on driveway. I had car fixed and hired someone to clean stain off driveway. The cleaners came 3 times to try and on 3rd time said they couldn't get stain up and that if they continued to try it would destroy the hot top. The landlord now wants to hire so... View More

If it can’t be done, it can’t be done.
Tell the landlord you’re sorry, you’ll pay to replace the driveway, but you’re not going to pay for yet another attempt to clean the stain created by your car.

It sounds like you're doing business in a state, other than NH as well as NH. You can do that but I suggest you hire an attorney to review the full picture so a suitable recommendation can be made.
I own an LLC Plumbing business here in New Hampshire. I sent an invoice a month or so after I completed the work. My customer is giving me a hard time about it, so I would like to know the law for how long I have to send an invoice, as well as the time frame that my customer has to pay the invoice.... View More

Ordinarily this issue would be covered in a written contract but if you don't have one, billing 30 days or so after the job does not appear unreasonable at all. I'm unsure if there are any special circumstances such as a closing date, etc. Feel free to contact me if you have any... View More

A suit can be brought in state district or superior court given the $20,000 amount. There could be other factors, such as whether a federal question is involved but I doubt it given your description.

It certainly sounds like it, particularly if that was "announced".

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Do you or another dental office need the actual films? If not, you could ask about less expensive formats of the radiographs. Good luck

It depends. Each contract and situation will need to be evaluated on its own. Were you personally damaged by this contractor? In order to bring an action against someone, you would have to have standing (i.e. a party to the contract). Please feel free to contact me to discuss.

We bought a house four years ago. As of recent, we have discovered serious issues with the well. We called the same plumber the previous owner used. He disclosed to us that the previous owner was aware of issues with the well since 2006. Nothing was disclosed to us at closing or at all. Can we sue?
answered on Sep 30, 2022
The short answer is, maybe. The purchase agreements, disclosure documents and other related documents would need to be reviewed to determine how best to proceed. Often time, the contract will require mediation first. A real estate attorney would be able to help you review these documents and... View More

The federal exemptions allow you an exemption in that equity value of approx. $25,000. The value of the total is also usually reduced by about ten percent of... View More

Thanks for your question. In order to answer fully, I'd need to know, at a minimum, terms of the business purchase and what you want to patent. I'd also need to review the business purchase documents. If you're interested in hiring my firm for this, please just let me know. Thank you.

This really depends on your claim.
