Maybe, maybe not. Maybe those things could be considered advances on his inheritance. You can obtain a copy of the will by contacting the courthouse where it's filed. I would contact an estates attorney ASAP before she dissipates any more of the estate.

Quitclaiming the property to your wife doesn't get you off the mortgage. But under the terms of your decree, she's responsible for making the payments, and she hasn't been doing that. You could file for contempt of court and have the court compel her to bring the loan back into good standing.

Yes, you have legal rights. Exactly what those are remains to be seen. Did your mother leave a will? Who is the administrator/executor of the estate? Are you a named beneficiary?

As far as not wanting your cousing to be more distraught - you're between a rock and a hard place. They have overly optimistic ideas about what type of funeral they can afford, and either their hopes will be dashed or they'll incur fantastic costs. As legal adults not declared mentally...

Disclaimer: I don't know what jurisdiction you are in, and odds are I don't know what the specific laws are in that jurisdiction anyways. So take this with a grain of salt. Maybe mobile home lease-to-own contracts are governed by a special statute, maybe they're governed by your local...

Sorry, I don't know much about your location. I'd check with your local city hall or state business licensing department. If they don't know, they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Where are you? Some places allow you to give the child any surname you wish. Others require you to give it your surname.

I don't know whether it's a legal requirement - I'm not familiar with Michigan business law. From my perspective, it's a strong suggestion. The potential liabilities of driving other people's vehicles for hire and dealing with intoxicated customers are too scary to do this as a commercial...

I don't know how the Iowa corporate registry works, but where I come from, corporations have to be registered; if it's not registered, it doesn't exist. Lack of existence could most certainly impact your operating agreement. It could mean (as I recollect your question in another thread) that...

This is very unclear. To the extent it makes sense at all, I suspect the company does not have your interests at heart. I don't understand. If these are charges you incurred on behalf of the business, why is the company taking 50% of your paychecks to pay it back? Shouldn't they be...

For starters, he needs to make his case. You might not have to prove anything. What evidence does he have to establish that his house was damaged, and that you were the person who damaged it? And that he paid you the full amount? I'd start collecting statements from your friend in the car...

This isn't a fiasco - not yet, anyways. :) You can either butt out, and the funeral director will sign up two persons of questionable mental competence to a fantastic funeral for their father, and then have the joy of trying to collect from them and probably get frustrated and make some attempt...

Maybe. Failure to supervise adequately? Failure to take due care in hiring? There's a number of reasons they could be liable. It's impossible to say whether they would be held liable in court. Talk to a local lawyer.

It could be either. I'd sue and let them try to persuade the judge that this alleged warranty excludes damage caused by their own negligent installation. I suspect there might be an argument about how much of the damage is owing to the defective installation, and how much is owing to you...

Technically no, not without a court order stating that the funds (or some of them) are really hers, but banks have been known to permit some strange things.

I'm just throwing ideas out here. What more you could do is offer a greater (or entire) refund. Sounds like you don't want to do that, and maybe for good reason. I don't know what all your arrangement was and how much of it was completed. Can you put a percentage figure on the partial work...

Yes, they are. That doesn't mean they have to complete the contract. It just means that if they don't, they've breached it. You can sue them in court for damages. You have a duty, if you want to do that, to try to mitigate your damages by renting the mobile home to someone else.

You would need to prove to the court two things. First, that he is the biological father. Without any proof whatsoever that he is the father, it's your word against his. Second, that a biological father is liable for some portion of the expenses related to miscarriage. I'm not sure...

Read the warranty carefully. Does it also limit claims for actual negligent work? Usually a warranty provides coverage, with some exceptions - it doesn't exclude civil liability altogether. (That would require you signing a waiver of some sort.)

A very carefully worded release. You're probably opening yourself up to a potential claim for lost revenue and the like, and you want to secure their admission that accepting the refund means they release you from any future claims.
