You need to do an official dispute about the mortgage loan being on your credit report. It is important that you check all three (3) credit reporting companies. The same thing may be on all 3. Each agency has a web-based dispute center on their websites. You should follow-up next week to see if it... View More

Absolutely do not give this company any of your personal information. They are trying to phish you or obtain your personal details. There is a way on the cash app., I believe, to return the money, decline to accept it or report it as fraudulent. I would explore those avenues. The cash is not... View More

Yes, you can place your home into an LLC. I recommend that you meet with a business lawyer to assist you with this process. I also believe you should consider a revocable living trust, because you have homes in separate states. A revocable living trust will allow you to avoid probate court. With... View More

Generally, a person has to pead guilty or "no contest" (which is the same thing as pleading guilty) in order for them to be placed on probation. And if you pleaded either of those, I'd say you are really out of luck. Then I would ask why you would do such a thing knowing you were not... View More

You need to contact a business lawyer in your area to discuss exactly what you mean by "an investment LLC" and what "stipulations" you want. It's possible that you're trying to do something you need to be licensed for, and/or for which you need to register the securities being sold.

Contact law enforcement if you believe a crime was committed. Contact a civil attorney if you want to file suit for return of the money.

Just deposit it. You don't have to prove it is legal money. If you are charged with theft or embezzlement etc., the government has to prove it is illegal money, not you.

This is a complicated issue that can go several different ways. Just because you have access does not mean you have rights to access. By your own admission you do not have permission to touch the money. She may say you exceeded the scope of the access granted.

The estate is responsible for the bills. It matters not what your father said. If he did not leave a Will which has been submitted to probate (proving that it is his Will), anyone can apply to the court to settle the estate. After the court has appointed that person administrator, he may charge... View More

The vast majority of garnishments are done After a judgment has been awarded, so the notice would have been (at least) notice of the suit by a process server, and notice of the judgment, usually by mail. After Judgment, the creditor is not required to tell you they're going to garnish your... View More
