I'm guessing your mom's name was Mary Ann? Sure, the list has some validity. The question is whether it has more validity as proof of ownership of the sculptures than your cousin's assertion that she gave it to him as a gift and/or that he paid for some of it and has cancelled cheques. My gut...

Have you written them a letter stating that they're required under the statute to send you the notice, and if they don't they're liable to whatever penalties the statute provides for?

What you propose to do isn't, as far as I know, illegal, and know of other people offering the same service so I guess it can be done. It sounds like you already have a decent idea of what sort of legal liabilities you could face. To my mind, this is less a legal issue than a "make sure you...

Well, technically, until they pay it to him, it's not his money he wants to borrow - it's their money. They can lend it to him if they want, and he can borrow it if he wants - although 30% interest rate is borders on usury (that is, criminally high interest rates), IMHO, and he might want to...

Assuming these are still payable despite her death, both should form part of the estate.

Without knowing the terms of the will, it is impossible to say. But I strongly doubt a court would overturn the express wishes of the parents in the will. Taking away the sister's life estate would be a significant alteration to her entitlement. I sympathize with your plight, however. Have...

No, you do not have the right to enter his property. It's his property. Neither does he have the right to keep your chute. It's not his property. Keeping what belongs to someone else is commonly called "theft" or "conversion". You could sue to get it back, and if you can prove a) the...

I don't know the rules in your jurisdiction, but you probably have to list both your separate and marital property. Doesn't the form itself say? Or you could ask your court clerk.

He did both? What kind of appeal was that? I'm not sure that is an accurate statement of the law. But even assuming it is... No, it's not. A death sentence is where they execute you. A life sentence without parole is where they keep you in jail until you die naturally. If, as you say...

It's probably up to the judge. I would not be surprised if there was no penalty, but the trial date was moved back to accomodate. You might get some costs awarded to you.

You can take the newer will, and go see a lawyer. Maybe you can get it recognised as valid, maybe not. But you're going to need legal assistance.

It sounds like there is no binding agreement yet. They can't force you to sign, but they can almost certainly require you to sign as a condition of the agreement. You're free to reject the agreement.

You say the GA law found the owner not liable - what do you mean by that? Has this already gone to court?

As I understand it, you were to deposit your shares with the company within 30 days and demand payment. After that, the company should have paid you their assessment of hte fair market value. I gather neither of those things happened, so I really can't say what should happen next. You might...

You realize, of course, that these answers are given without knowing all the circumstances and are speculative. It might be. One of the copies has both signatures. Perhaps the agreement contemplates that it can be signed in counterpart. Do these purport to be carbon copies? If so, there is...

You might get interest awarded on the judgment because of the delay. But a small claims court will almost certainly not award you damages for, say, the distress this may have caused you.

If it is a conflict of interest, it's probably the sort of conflict the members are entitled to consent to. Having a conflict is not per se a bad thing. What is improper is keeping it secret, or profiting from it without the consent of the others. The conflict might prevent him from voting on...

Possibly. But it might face the some sort of liability whether the other partner is the business or the partner in his personal capacity. (Courts sometimes treat corporations as extensions of the people who control them.) I don't know whether person/corporation will make any difference to...

Whether it's legal or not is up in the air - if the work wasn't done properly, as she claims, she's within her rights to refuse to pay for at least part of it. If you can't come to some agreement about what the work was worth, you can take her to court to sort it out. You can file a builder's...

Or he could just be dumb. It's not unethical, and is downright common practice, to include a mutual release of claims as part of a settlement. Legally, he's allowed to communicate with other people. He's not allowed to lie about the situation. If he just told the third party that you...
