You need to at least contact an attorney who handles partnerships as there are issues about breach of trust and other matters that impact this, and to write a letter called a "cease and desist" letter on your behalf. Ultimately you would be looking for some type of Declaratory Judgment... View More

Let me break it down for you: If you received $690 more in daycare services than the amount of your paycheck--and then quit working at the daycare--it does not appear unlawful for your employer to withhold and apply your last paycheck to cover a portion of what you owe them. Nor do they have to... View More

A home that we are considering buying has a 3rd floor room that the seller is identifying as a bedroom. We do not believe that it is but we cannot find the minimum requirements that would deem it to be, or not, a bedroom. Thank you

Better check in with JAG corps on this--sounds like potential multiple violations. You should know that access is for the specific purpose only. Can you hand out cards, or other items? Not sure of that but if someone is looking to burn you you're giving them a match it seems to me.
How do I get around a breach? I'm trying to acquire the LLC and continue the current lease as is. The LLC owner wants to retire and offered to sell me his business.

He could sue you in your local small claims court for unjust enrichment, yes. Do you have to pay? That's up to you, but he may be able to obtain a judgment against you. Best of luck to you.

You gave him the 30 days. File at the magistrate then give him the 10 day notice the day before you file.

The problem may be your "assumptions." I suggest contacting the Delaware County Bar Association for an attorney referral, and then sit down with him/her and going over everything. Knowledge is power, y'know?
Best of luck to you.

He can ask. That doesn't mean you are obligated. There was no agreement as terms hadn't been discussed and accepted. Just politely say "that was never discussed. I'm sorry you feel that way but I don't see that I owe that." leave it there. I assume you have all your... View More

Technically, yes, but you are heading for a family relations mess if you have to enforce it--imagine playing repo-man (or repo mom).

New deed to be brother and his wife joint grantor to their 2 children (my nieces). If I just drop off do I have to worry about gift issues? Should I sell my interest for $1 and if so should contract be with all parties?

In the deed you would state $1 as the consideration. Also because it is between family members you are exempt from realty transfer tax in Pennsylvania. No gift issues.
