    Challenge leaving money to one particular family member

    If he was in need of doing a repipe of the house plumbing right now and somebody else (ex - me) paid for it, would that cause him to lose SSI benefits? This is an SSI question but maybe some of you know the answer.

    Challenge leaving money to one particular family member

    After a bit of research, I see that a "Special Needs Trust" is what I need. To the above poster, yes I trust other relatives to carry out my wishes. The question is, would THEY need to set up some sort of trust or legal framework so that this special needs beneficiary doesn't lose their SSI...

    Challenge leaving money to one particular family member

    Creating a will for one particular disabled family member is challenging because he is on SSI and owns a nice house (the government lets you do that with SSI). He is broke and barely makes enough money to get by (by renting rooms to some roommates). If I were to leave a lot of money to him, it...

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Question of curiosity re: Kohberger type cases

    I'm curious if some of you murder defense lawyers have an estimate as to what percentage of defendants tell the truth to their lawyers about what happened. I'll bet that this Kohberger guy told his lawyer that he's innocent.

    10% late fee on property taxes

    It's just a small claims case. Why would that be complicated and expensive?

    10% late fee on property taxes

    This is a small claims case. The late penalty was for about $700. Don't poke the bear??? The bear has been asleep for 7 friggin' months! They still have not credited me for about $1,500. Some of that $700 fine should also be reduced. And I'm supposed to just accept being ripped off?

    10% late fee on property taxes

    I sent them a certified letter today with copies of the check from the bank along with the bank's reference number. I told them that this is my last effort before I file a lawsuit. I also emailed them. As always, their phone system says "We are experiencing high call volume" and hangs up on me...

    10% late fee on property taxes

    Last year, for my property taxes, I paid via two checks in the mail (from different bank accounts) in the same envelope. I forgot that I had closed out one of the bank accounts, so that check bounced. I didn't find out until 5 months later when they finally let me know, conveniently right after...

    Statute of limitations on failure to bill/collect

    California. As I recall, the seller did approve the refund w/PayPal. They are so disorganized that they also shipped out the order. They shipped AFTER I canceled, which goes against their refund policy. That's a peek into how dishonest they are. But yeah, let them navigate the US court system...

    Statute of limitations on failure to bill/collect

    I purchased some clothing from a company in China that is a borderline scam company. They sell clothing that looks great in pictures but is ridiculously low-quality, too small, its cost prohibitive to return, they have dodgy customer service, shady bait & switch policies, etc. They have a...

    Airbnb host guarantee / homeowner's insurance

    So, even for the minimal amount of things that their 'guarantee' claims to cover, it's a Swiss cheese contract? That's the word of mouth in the forums. Don't count on Airbnb paying out on damages left behind by guests. It almost seems like Airbnb won't even have a debate about paying out a claim...

    Airbnb host guarantee / homeowner's insurance

    I have been paying extra on my homeowner's insurance for coverage for commercial use because I have an in-law unit attached to my house that I rent out on Airbnb. I don't actually share any interior space with my guests. I was wondering if I could get away with just using Airbnb's 1 million...

    Do people still stick bumper stickers on their cars anymore? LOL. Save your money.

    Former employer sueing over intellectual property

    If you were employed by a company in a "work for hire" situation then they own the copyrights to the intellectual property that you create. If you were hired as an "independent contractor" then YOU would also own copyrights. Sounds like you re-wrote the program from scratch so you are probably...

    Work for Hire Copyright

    I am not a lawyer but I work in the film industry and have produced a movie. To this writer / claimant I would ask what evidence do you have to prove that you contributed intellectual property to this script? Best evidence is registration with the Library of Congress, however the date must...
