First, it is not possible for YOU to grant yourself title to the property. That is something your father would have to do. It's his decision, not yours. Moreover, however strong your feelings are about the house, remember that it is not your asset and it's your father's right to do with it as he...

Whatever else we are doing here, the one thing we are prohibited by law doing here is dispensing legal advice, except for those who are attorneys licensed in the state in which the OP resides or has the legal issue. The point that no one should take anything said on these boards as legal advice...

That effect is distinctly undemocratic. Why should the vote of a citizen living in a rural state count more than those in a more urban state? Are citizens in rural states superior to those in urban ones such that they are entitled to a great say in what happens in this country? If you say yes...

Is Santa going to be asked by Canada if he supports Trump's idea of making Canada the 51st state before clearing him to fly over Canadian territory?

I think (as do a number of historians) that the Founders did not place all that much faith in the common citizen. For the first 125 years of our nation that the members of the Senate were chosen by the state legislatures rather than a vote of the citizens of those states. That was a move to...

The problem is that the only way to know if you have a viable claim and what prospects you have to win is to meet with an attorney and lay out all the facts. There's no way to even make a decent guess without looking at the details. One detail could make a significant difference. If you have...

I wish the Trump the best in taking this country where it should go. I want him to succeed in that because the whole country would benefit from it. But given some of his statements of what he intends to do and the nominations for cabinent and other positions I'm not very hopeful that's what...

Yes. But my point was that the Supreme Court was making a workload choice, not anything to do with the merits of the case. It can only hear about 1% of the cases in which its review is sought and has to priortize which ones to take. This case would essentially have to be among the 50 or so most...

So do I. The Constitution would likely have to be amended, just as it had to be done to impose term limits for president. It wouldn't be easy, but if the public gets fed up enough there may be the push needed to do it. This is one issue that is not rooted in one particular party.

We seriously need to get octogenarians out of Congress. Even if they don't suffer from dementia, they are very much out of touch with modern American society both due to their age and because they've spent so long in Washington that they have no experience of what it's like for most of us to...

I do too. Unfortunately at the federal level the Congresses and the presidents we've had so far this century have not done a whole lot of anything aside from passing budgets, naming post offices and renaming military bases, and approving presidential appointees for top agency posts and approving...

You are misinterpreting the action of the Supreme Court. The court made no decision (as that term is used in the courts). It instead denied a petition for a writ of certiorari (which lawyers often abbreivate as denying or granting cert). The petition asks the Supreme Court to agree to hear the...

We may indeed agree on a lot when it comes to issues. The main difference between us right now is that I can't stand Trump and you seem to wholeheartedly embrace him. But that's a difference in views about a political figure, not issues.

The credit card lender, like all other creditors, will file a proof of claim (or whatever it is called in the state conducting the probate) outlining its claim to estate assets. All the valid debts of the deceased must be paid before estate beneficiaries get anything. The credit card company...

For those unaware, the power of eminent domain, a holdover of the British Crown's power to take property as desired by the sovereign, was limited in the Constitution by imposing two requirements that the King of England would not have to meet: (1) the taking of the land had to be for public use...

All I can say is that country has far too many people ready to go Rambo and attack other people over mostly small stuff. His anger wasn't focused on the right person. While it would still be a crime I can better understand him attacking the guy who actually harmed his sister.

I understand that. Yours is a political reaction though, not a legal or business one. The fault here was nothing that Trump did. ABC's employee Stephanopoulos is the one at fault for not checking his facts before making those statements to a million or more viewers. Substitute some other...

That one was big enough to see it clearly. Still not very big though.

I would have likely have told ABC to settle it if I was representing it, though I would try to get the amount paid down as much as I could. It's not an issue of sucking up to Trump. It all comes down to the fact that litigating this may well have cost ABC much more than the $15 million and this...

Check out this clever GIF that turns Donald Duck's face upside to become Donald Trump. No editing of the image was necessary, just rotating it. https://tenor.com/view/donald-duck-trump-donald-trump-upside-down-gif-17042553
