had been notified years ago. My ex husband was the last in line in his generation, he he was notified in 1998, he passed away in 2006. His 2nd wife told the courts he did not have a will and I think she failed to mention to the court his children from our marriage. What can be done? He died in... Read more »
This appears to be the same question, which was originally asked concerning Texas Law. If the property is located in New Mexico then New Mexico probate laws apply, even if the decedent lived in Texas. It is not clear where the probate case was. You should get a copy of the probate proceedings from... Read more »
There are oil & gas leases involved that are supposed to go to all the children. They were passed down from their great grandmother , through her descendants, then their descendants, etc., etc. My children were the only ones never notified by the oil producers about their interests
It is not clear from the information provided what type of probate proceeding was had, if any, and when. The ability to contest any court ruling will depend on when the proceeding, if any, was held. There is also no indication of when the deaths occurred. If there was no will, all of the children... Read more »
I have photos document emissions receipt ect. Saying 125,000 odometer. Can they cheat me
A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, based on these brief facts, I don't think the adjuster is trying to cheat you. What I think is happening is that your vehicle has been declared a total loss. So rather than simply... Read more »
A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. If you go online, you may be able to find various motions posted online in PDF format, including summary judgment motions.

A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. As a general matter in most jurisdictions, you could. You would need to show that the other side was negligent. It could depend on how persuasive your evidence is. Good luck

The statute of limitation has not changed but, unfortunately, when you fled the jurisdiction you tolled the statute. Depending on how many prior felonies your attorney may be able to avoid imprisonment when you decide to face the charges. Or you can wait to be stopped on a traffic violation and get... Read more »

A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's not fully clear what happened, but based on your description, it's possible both of you could be liable. If your lane was such that you were not supposed to go around her, and if she was in a lane... Read more »
And have locked their gate so I have no access to my survey marker. What do I do? I need to put fencing and force them to move their things
You will probably have to file an Action for a Boundary Dispute and Trespass. Do not wait long or the gate will become the new boundary.
My dad married my US-citizen mom and lived in the US for some time on a marriage-based green card. They then moved abroad, and one day in the 1970s he was made to give it up at the port of entry when visiting the US (because he no longer lived in the US). He has no copy of an I-407, which seems... Read more »
The I-407 is to be submitted when a person VOLUNTARILY gives up his status. Based on your post he did not do so voluntarily. You do not need the form. Use his A# from his previous green card.
My mother (US-born) and father (Mexican national) met in the US in university but moved to Mexico in the 70s. For some time he had a green card through this marriage, but they found jobs in Mexico and stayed there. The GC was given up at a port of entry at some point in the 70s as well (they have...

They can try, but they will lose. So it is unlikely you will be sued for this. I would be shocked if an attorney took a case like this. You’re more than likely safe from a lawsuit.
We took our 14 year old daughter on June 26, 2020 to our local emergency Room Gerald Champion because she had swallowed a plastic water bottle lid our local emergency Room basically took x-rays told her she'd pass it if she hadn't already told her to take more fiber and more water and...

Well, if Airbus has expressed interest and you've already negotiated a purchase agreement, then one of the patent lawyers on this site should be able to assist with drafting the assignment.

Read your sale contract first. If you want the property and it does not appear the seller can disregard the sale, then hire a competent attorney to sue for specific performance. File suit while the earnest money is still in escrow, with the escrowee an included party (plaintiff or defendant).

The general rule is that a bona fide asylum applicant does not accrue unlawful presence while his application is pending. There’s exceptions to this rule so more info is needed. Discuss with counsel anywhere in the USA.
The vehicle is in my name
Call the police and report this. It's best that they hear it from you sooner rather than later. You are liable for road tolls, auto accidents, traffic and parking tickets.
If you were charged you would know. Generally, vandalism, malicious destruction of property would be two of them. There may be others.
Got released from jail waiting for court date wondering what to expect
