You may do that. California recognizes holographic will. See CA Probate Code § 6111 which sets out what the basic requirements are. The writing should make it very clear that it is intended to be your will. If the holographic will survives any challenges to it, like claims you were not...

That depends on exactly how the beneficiary designations are made. However, your sister-in-law is not one of your natural heirs and she only may inherit from her husband what he had at the time of his death. Unless the language of the designation is written in a way that would include her, his...

Amos Miller may lose that cause, at least as far as federal regulation goes. The Supreme Court in 1942 decided the case of Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942). At issue in that case was an Act of Congress known as the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) passed in 1938 during the depression...

What your wife may not realize is that under CA law, there is a duty for an adult child to provide for an indigent parent. CA Family Code section 4400 states: "4400. Except as otherwise provided by law, an adult child shall, to the extent of the adult child's ability, support a parent who is in...

It is indeed familar to me from that show. But I'm surprised it aired in the mid seventies; I could swear I saw it later. Maybe I saw it in syndication, though syndication didn't really start to take off until about a decade later. I wouldn't have been old enough for my parents to let me watch...

The remarkable thing is that service members don't go out with the intent to earn the medal. That would be a dangerous route to take, as the medal recipients are those who were placed by circumstances out of their control into very dangerous conditions. They then have the clear head to think...

You've listed Ontario as the place where the legal issue is. These forums focus on legal issues in the U.S. While both Canadian law and U.S. started out based on English common law, over the many years each country has been independent from Great Britain the laws in the two countries are...

Years ago one of the problems with registering in a new state was making the company liable for sales and use tax collection in that state where it may not have had that responsibility before. The U.S. Supreme Court changed its stance on cross border sales tax collection about 25 years ago, so...

It is very likely a HIPAA violation, assuming the doctor and/or his practice is a "covered entity" under the Act (and nearly all doctors are) but the only remedy for a HIPAA violation is to make a complaint about it to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) because the law only...

Either your recruiter is guessing here, or he heard some bad information. It is not hard, doesn't take much time at all, nor does it cost a whole lot of money (other than what the company may pay its lawyer to draft the documents) to either register as an out of state corporation in NC or for...

The Constitution simply says in Art. I, § 8, ¶4 that Congress has the power to "stablish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States." It doesn't require Congress to exercise that power. Naturalization is the process of an alien...

You'd be wrong on that. The Constitution protects everyone within our borders. There is nothing in it that limits the rights granted in the Constitution to just a certain class of immigrant. Indeed, it is worth noting that when the Constitution was ratified, this country had an open door policy...

That's the kind of lawyer she needs. The vast majority of personal injury (PI) lawyers will provide a free initial consultation so it'll just take a bit of her time to talk to some attorneys. She should probably see two or three of them to hear their evaluation as their analysis or tolerance for...

What you'd be doing is deceiving them about where you actually reside, which is not compatible with your stated desire to "to achieve the minimum required to be within the law so that the employer's legal/tax concerns are satisfied". Instead, you'd potentially be committing fraud as to your...

I suggest you seek out advice from a legal expert in whatever Asian nation you reside. The laws of Asian nations vary considerably and it matters very much in which country your shop is located. It may even matter in what political subdivision of the country your shop is located. In many nations...

I think I know myself better than you know me. :D But if you think you differently, I'd love to hear how you think you are able to know the thoughts in someone else's head, especially someone you've never met who is thousands of miles away from you. If have that skill, then you've accomphlished...

I know the vote counts are reported, of course. But none of them support the specific claim you made, including the ones you linked in this latest post. Your claim is merely speculative. You may find them suspicious, but your suspicions aren't proof of anything. Trump, with all his money...

The answer to that is that state can do that because it is doing it. If what you really want to know if whether you have any recourse for it — whether any of your rights were violated — then I suggest a visit to a Texas civil rights lawyer would be the place to start with this. You may try suing...

That statement seems to me to based purely on speculation based on your political outlook rather than any facts that would support it. A number plucked out of thin air. Trump tried hard to get the vote count in GA changed in his call to the Georgia Secretary of State, a blatant attempt at...

Probable cause is a standard that the government must meet in order to arrest someone, charge a person with a criminal offense, or to get certain warrants from the court. This is not that situation. In most states (with CA being the most notable exception) an ex parte order is a temporary one...
