My brother has lived there most of his life, but never took over any financial or other responsibility for the house while my father was alive
answered on Aug 17, 2022
If your father conveyed his entire interest in his house to your brother then the house would not be part of the probate estate because the house was not owned by your father at the time of his death.
The paper road is woods and swamp, not even a path or dirt road exists. It probably could not be made into a road because of water table. It was platted over 70 years ago. Does the town own the land or just hold a ROW for the property? The other roads in the neighborhood are paved and maintained... Read more »

A paper road remains the town's property even if the town does nothing with it. The town does not have to build a road on it in order to keep it as a paper road. The town retains the option to build a road on the area of the paper road at any time in the future.
As for whether or not... Read more »
Phone and I said yes. They put me in handcuffs and took me to the station without ever reading me my rights. Is my statement I made in my house admissible in court?
answered on Jul 24, 2022
The answer is most like yes, your statement is admissible. The police will argue that you were not in custody at the time you made the statement. Miranda warnings (rights, as you call them) are only required to be administered when you are not free to leave and the police question you. You need... Read more »

This is a very bad idea. It will be interpreted as an attempt to connect with her, in violation of the order. Maybe you could argue that is not your intent, but I highly doubt that a judge will believe you. Don’t do it.

Division of assets, debts, and allocation of marital property are addressed in either a Bed and Board Divorce(Separation) or a "full" Divorce. Meet with your qualified local practitioner to review your options in confidence.
Neighbor said it’s a personal injury liability to have no railing. I believe we may be ok because of how old the house is.
answered on Jul 6, 2022
A Rhode Island attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. No railing might be better than a rickety railing that presents a false sense of security, but your neighbor raises a valid point - not having a railing where one is required or recommended could also create...

Yes, it is true that in Rhode Island the plaintiff's initial complaint that is filed in court should not request a specific dollar amount for personal injuries. But, the plaintiff can ask the defendant or the insurance company for a specific dollar amount in out of court settlement... Read more »
We keep the areas clean, there is nothing she would need access to for any other unit in either area, the lease doesn't state anything about it, we store our eBay store items that we sell in the areas and don't want anyone to have access to these items

Yes, you have to give the landlord a key to the storage room and garage that you are renting from the landlord. Your landlord has a right of access to all areas of the landlord's property that you are renting, and can enter any area on reasonable notice to you.
My parents are selling me a $450,000 house for $250,000. And they want to make sure the value they gift me stays in my name. I do not believe it would be fair to retain the whole house as personal property as I would be bringing $250,000 of debt into the marriage.

Yes, you and your future spouse can get a prenup that says that the gifted portion of the real estate equity shall be allocated to you in the event of divorce. A prenup can allocate your property in any way that the two of you agree upon, within reason.

Cosigner on a Note does not make that person a tenant in common., etc. Hire a RI attorney to search the Title and determine ownership. At least read your Deed.

Tangible personal property is transferred to a trust with a bill of sale or assignment in most cases.
answered on Mar 18, 2023
If the trust is going to be signed and notarized in Rhode Island then the notary needs to be a Rhode Island notary public. If the trust is going to be signed and notarized somewhere outside of Rhode Island then the notary needs to be a notary in that jurisdiction.
this would be for the State Of Rhode Island

Hi. Unfortunately this is not a site to retain legal representation. Please reach out to an attorney privately.
What is the ownership status for a house that we inherited from our mother? She passed away 20 years ago and my brother took control of her house but the two of us never followed through with the quit claim process. Do we legally own the house jointly?
answered on Nov 18, 2022
You still have an ownership interest that you can assert. If a probate was never opened, one would need to be opened so that the property could be properly transferred to the rightful heirs. I would need more information - whether there was a will or a trust, and how the property was deeded prior... Read more »
