There is an SDCL that covers documents intended as wills. I have filed a motion using this statute. The property has not been distributed. I waited, hoping to give family time to heal before dealing with the material side of things. Perhaps I wouldn't be in this boat if I would have acted...

I am not trying to drive up cost. It would be much easier and cheaper for me to just throw in the towel, since I live so far away and have nothing to gain financially if I somehow prevail. I didn't call it a "will," because it isn't a formal will. His wishes were written down & he signed...

My father gave instructions for his cremation and disposal of certain property. Most of the property is supposed to be sold, and he asked me to take care of that. His wishes for cremation and his ashes have been followed. All was being handled out of court. Seven months after he passed...

I can't justify a lawyer...not for a few thousand dollars of stuff. I promised my dad I will fight, so I will do the best I can. I have already been in a hearing against an attorney on this & have prevailed in one of my primary objectives already. I was just asking for some clarification....

I recently quit my job of several years. New owners took over several months ago, and I've had problems with one of them for the last few months. I am hearing that a lot of very derogatory things are being said about me, none of which are true. The night I quit, even though I never so-much...

I did work for a general contractor on a state job. Our work was completed in full, to the full satisfaction of the customer. The general contractor is refusing to pay me the balance due because I wouldn't sign a lien release BEFORE he paid me. In seeking to get all of my facts straight and...

Two months ago, I was hired to manage an area business. Almost from the start, there had been issues with the building owner not keeping the building up to par and my boss was covering a lot of these expenses thinking he and the building owner would get it all ironed out in rent/profit sharing...
