International students in Texas can establish an LLC, but it's important to navigate this carefully due to visa constraints. Your student visa status, typically an F-1, places limitations on off-campus employment. However, owning an LLC doesn't automatically equate to employment.... View More

2 years ago I asked for a raise at the corporation I work at for the last 18 years.
They gave me 10% of the company, but I don't see the money until the company is sold.
Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago.
Can this percentage be left to my wife in my Will?
Thank You

If he is a court-appointed expert, he can file a motion to tax his fees as costs.
If he was hired by one of the litigants, he can quit and then sue the party who hired him to collect unpaid fees in a separate lawsuit.

You have several legal options to consider in this situation. First, you may want to dispute the 1099-C with the IRS, as it seems the debt was already paid off, and the filing may have been incorrect. If the dealership's gap insurance was supposed to cover the remaining balance, and they did... View More

It's possible that there could be technical solutions, since you seem to like the place and its owners and don't want them to be hurt - dehumidification, air conditioning, etc. Good luck
Salesman had me complete purchase away from front desk where return policy is located. Then when tried to return they state they have a "no return policy". I have audio recording of rep stating I could return within 30 days, as discussed, on day I was trying to return.

Sounds like you have good solid evidence to support your claim that a term of your purchase was the right to return the merchandise for a refund within 30 days.

It is highly unlikely any such lawsuit would be successful.
