You had the duty to get the freezer. Covid would not have prevented you from getting the freezer. I don't see a claim. She isn't required to keep the electric running for you forever. But get a few more answers.

First of all since your brother is named Executor he has the responsibility and the authority to collect and protect all personal property of your father. Since you call your brother the Executor I am assuming there is a Will and the girlfriend is either not named in the Will or was not bequeathed... View More
My company did work for a client. They refuse to pay their invoice. By accident one of their vendors sent me their merchandise. Can I sell that to recoup my losses?
answered on Feb 28, 2021
No, that would be conversion, or theft. You can return the product or tell the customer and ask if he would like you to sell it and charge the proceeds against his account to you. And/or you can take him to small claims.

It is not defamation or slander if the conversation is between the two of you. Defamation and slander require that there be some public statement. Do not, by the way, discuss this on facebook or any social media--that's where people get into trouble!).
All the best.
I helped a friend pay for a very expensive cat surgery (3k) by using my credit. I only used my credit because we agreed they would help me in making payments. It's been 3 years and they have not helped me at all. They stopped talking to me and anytime I ask for assistance, I get ignored. My... View More

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations on a contract, oral or verbal, is four years. The same is true for unjust enrichment actions. You would likely bring suit under either or both of those causes of action, so from what you have said it appears you may be within the statutes of limitation... View More
It was a product I got from harbor freight to stop welding spark and it failed by a hole being burnt through the blanket and catching the car on fire
answered on Jun 29, 2020
A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. It sounds like you're talking about a welding blanket. You could contact a Pennsylvania attorney to discuss - it would take investigation and possibly trial to make the determination of defectiveness. It could... View More

you should respond. Find out from the realtor you used if there is any coverage for legal fees for this.Generally, the house is sold as is, and your agreement of sale should say that.

You would be best off consulting with someone who practices there; it could also be helpful if you narrowed your inquiry to a particular area of law for a meaningful response from an attorney. Good luck

I suggest filing a "lis pendens" against the property in McKean Co. in the Prothonotary's Office there. Anyone looking to purchase that property in the future should see that there is a cloud on the title with that filing.
Best of luck to you.

It would depend on the terms of the contract. You could have a Pennsylvania attorney review the contract and all communications between you and the gym to to explore whether there is a possibility of disputing the charges. Good luck

Storage fees or labor expended so far could become an issue. But hopefully, that could be something to negotiate if you're contemplating leaving the shop the car (and they are interested in taking it). Good luck

You need to notify the police and/or the AG's office. Witnesses are good if anyone heard what was said.

answered on Jun 14, 2019
You were prepared to go ahead with your end of the deal and she wasn't. You are correct. However often there is something else left out. Does she now say the cage wasn't part of it? If so there is no agreement--you think it's A she thinks it's not A but B ---and if no agreement... View More
I believe I should be entitled to have what I had "before". The insurance co and I disagree on the repair procedure, a difference of probably less than $2000.

If your vehicle is in a collision shop, property damage adjusters will sometimes revisit the vehicle to review the estimates of the shop against their own estimates after doing another walk-through of damages.

You are obligated to remove everything. If he won’t let you enter his property, you will have to remove the trees by pulling them from your side.
Further, if the falling trees cause damage to his property, since you are already on notice, it will likely be your problem.

Unfortunately if she is not going to be cooperative you will not be in a position to purchase the item. I would back off and disappear for a bit. When she doesn't get any other offers she will attempt to contact you. By the way what is so special about this piece of furniture?
