My sister was named executor over the will. I was wondering if the joint bank accounts my mother and I had Together would have to go through the probate or would be considered part of the will.
My mother always helped her sister out with finances and my sister is trying to take out that... Read more »
If the account was "Joint with Rights of Survivorship" as most "joint" accounts are, the account goes directly to you. It does not go through probate and therefore is not controlled by the Will. All you need to do is take an original death certificate and a photo ID to a bank... Read more »
They cant find ANY details on where the cash came from. The person in question denys to answer ANY questions.
The IRS can issue an IRS Summons to any banking institution involved in the transaction (the bank that received the funds, for example), requesting copies of bank statements, wire transfers sent or received, ACH transactions, etc., and trace where the money came from. Unless it was a cash purchase... Read more »
Your husband dies and in his will he left all the money in your shared savings account to his kids from a previous marriage. The savings account has all the money you need to live off of. Can the kids legally take all that money from you even tho that’s your money you have been saving? There is... Read more »
It is very settled law in Ohio that joint bank account passes to the surviving joint owner in the event of the death of the other co-owner. The account does not pass through probate and is not controlled by the terms of the will.
my name is on a joint loan with ex husband. how do i get my name off. he's ruining my credit by not paying. divorce decree stated he is solely responsible for repayment.
You can talk to the lender, but lender likely will not agree to take you off. So the loan would have to be refinanced. If ex won't refinance or pay, then file with the court to have ex held in contempt. Talk to your divorce attorney, or use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local divorce... Read more »
I opened an account with a bank, and hardly used it for almost a year. During that time period, the amount of funds never went past $500, or negative. My intent was to switch banks once I felt more comfortable with the establishment. Well, my first major transaction was flagged, and without... Read more »
I think your bank suspects you fraud. It’s not discrimination. What you’ve done is highly suspicious. It may be legitimate but they are going to investigate.
I had two checking accounts one was closed by my bank cuz I failed to pay the balance off so they took money out of my current account at the bank to pay can they do that
Yes. Banks are allowed to recover any money they lost from any source available. The solution is to spread your money around and not keep all of it in one basket.
There are several questions that need to be asked.
How much money is in that account?
Did she have any other property?
Did your grandma have a will?
If not her inheritance would be governed by the Ohio laws of intestate succession.
So the next question would... Read more »
I signed a contract and the guy called me after I signed the contract about paying him back, I need help with this. Thank you.
We need a lot more detail to assist you. What was the payment for? What work have you done? Supplies purchased? Etc.
over the past month I helped with collecting the payments and sending them to the vendor for the items. The vendor never shipped any items, she made fake tracking numbers, and etc. People are saying they are going to report me because I took their payment but I have proof from my bank account that...

Since you saw the need to double down and admit to being involved in further cybercrimes I saw the need to repeat my advice posted in answer to your earlier question.
Based on your own description of the "online business" that you say you "help run" it will be hard for... Read more »

You should hire an attorney to go through the transactions, the customer complaints, and the rest of your business to help you prepare to defend allegations that you are part of the scam.
My wife and I entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy just 5 days ago. 3 days ago my bank removed #100 from my checking account, and when I contacted them, they verified it was them and they took it for "processing" the bankruptcy notice. This account has been positive and current for 15 years, with... Read more »
The bank did not "levy" your account. The bank imposed a service charge that they (presumably) informed all their customers would happen if the customer caused the bank significant work processing the notice of bankruptcy papers they received. (BTW: Your bankruptcy lawyer should have... Read more »
I got a letter saying I was approved for a $60000 home equity loan. The next day I was called and told that they were wrong and it was only $40000. The next day I received a letter that stated I was approved for the amount of $60000 signed by a loan officer. I was later informed they wrongfully... Read more »
Do about what? You asked for $60,000 and you are getting $60,000. Where's the beef?
Can I be prosecuted under statute of limitations in 209?
Your question is unclear. If you cashed a bad check in 2015, it may be too late for law enforcement to do anything about it. But that does not mean a collection agency cannot try to collect on behalf of whoever lost the money.
Bad news: Getting out of an agreement to purchase "membership" in a timeshare resort is much more difficult that getting into it was. Call some Ohio real estate lawyers.
Does my bank have a legal right to go through my transactions and threaten to close my account for what is being paid. I personally separate business from personal expenses on my taxes.
You should be separating your accounts, and the back is likely within its rights pursuant to the contract you signed with them if they believe the account is being used for personal or illegal purposes. Review your contract with the bank.
My mother is POA my husband and myself take care of my grandmother. A lady from Elderly Aging Services came by said she had a report made. My grandmother who is 87 and still very sharp told the lady she knows everything that's been spent. My mom never kept receipts she would give me cash for... Read more »
If a report of possible financial wrongdoing was made, then they are obligated by law to investigate and confirm that the money has been used for your grandmother. Depending on how much money has been paid to you, or how much has been spent, they could take action. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and... Read more »
I had recently applied for a new car loan. I wanted to roll my remaining loan over onto to new loan. My dealer at Ford told me my car was listed in a bankruptcy. About 4 years ago I had filed for a chapter 7 but we never went through with it and it was dismissed. I explained this to the dealer.... Read more »
Same answer I gave last question.
I have been making car payments since than but just recently tried to have remaining balance on my car loan rolled over onto a new car loan. The original bank that finenced me said my car was listed in a bankruptcy. Now I’m in limbo. There’s no actual car payments on my credit report. My new... Read more »
If the bankruptcy was dismissed, you still owe the debt.

First, you need to make sure you are not getting scammed again. Who called and how do they want you to pay this money back? Police and prosecutors generally do not call people and tell them to pay it back or else, they usually just charge the person. It would be a good idea to get an attorney... Read more »
my next of kin passed away in 2007 and there wasn't a will. Besides, he didn't have any close family. I have recently been informed about his death and the fact that he had an account in Barclays Bank.
You should contact a probate attorney in your area. You will most likely have to pay a retainer. If the Barclays account does not have significant value, it may not be worth the cost to open the probate estate.
