Son needs an attorney now. There may be a Forfeiture Warrant on the truck, so then DOS is involved requiring a bond and a hearing. Son needs to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. The truck is probably the least of your worries.

It sounds like your lawyer needs to get in gear. There should be multiple defendants involved, and discovery needs to be enforced by the Court. It sounds like forgery is involved. Subpoenas against financial institutions must meet several statutory requirements.

You can have the rifle in your vehicle unless your employer prohibits it. After using deadly force, DA's may or may not prosecute you. It will not make alot of difference whether your firearm was authorized or not by your employer.

What is your question? Apparently this is a complicated matter, and it does not appear you have standing. Insurance Fraud is a tort, and would not be involved in the Estate. Do you have damages? If not, no cause of action. Consult with an attorney.

You can specify almost any age up to 59 1/2. However most Grantors would end Custodianship and begin withdrawals when the Beneficiary reaches 21, or sometimes later such as 30, 35. It is your decision.

Some theft offenses are graded according to the value - in some situations under $500 or $1,000 could be a misdemeanor. However, this code section says its a felony. If you have not already done so,... View More
