Without knowing the terms of the lease, it is impossible to say. I would speculate that the $3000 was a deposit, and this being a commercial lease, the deposit is likely non-refundable, so you are not entitled to cancel the check. If you do cancel it, you could face a lawsuit by the landlord...

Yes to both. He agreed to repay you those amounts, and he didn't. This sounds like pretty straightforward breach of contract. You can try, but I don't know how likely you are to succeed. These are tort claims, and would require you to prove he breached some duty of care he owed you, thereby...

You could sell your interest in the properties outright along with his. You'll probably get a better price. If a stranger buys his share, you'll co-own property with a stranger. If either of you don't like the situation, you could probably apply for an order that the property be sold. If I...

Did you post this in another thread? I have a serious deja vu about this question. Anyways, it cuts across occupier's liability (or premises liability as it's called in Iowa), dog-bite law, and maybe plain ol' negligence. I know something about negligence and dog-bite law, but I understand...

That would appear to be what it means, but without knowing the exact terms of the trust it is impossible to tell. Who is the trustee and what do they say?

He's not on the hook. But you need to be careful about commingling your assets - you don't want a bank or creditor getting confused about what's yours and what's his and mistakenly garnishing his assets. The car cannot be attached if it is in his name. But you might face a claim that the...

There was another thread about this recently. Your answer might be here: http://www.thelaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35745 It probably depends a lot on where you are - some jurisdictions distinguish between "invitees" and "trespassers", and you might not owe any duty of care to somebody...

What do you mean by "broken into"?

You should phone the cops. What you say is to give truthful answers to the questions. I don't know about "hit and run", but you failed to remain at the scene of the accident and exchange information with the other party, which is most likely against the law in your jurisdiction no matter...

I don't see why he would need to do transfer legal title to one brother to sell the house - three persons can sell as easily as one. Your father's portion could also be legally transferred to you and your sister, and you could be part of the sale. One way or another, your dad's share will need...

"In-law" is not a term that has any legal significance that I'm aware of, at least not any more. There is no legal definition, its purely linguistic convention. In-laws are the relatives of your spouse. If you're no longer married, they are no longer your in-laws. That said, it is not...

He misrepresented the condition of the dogs to you. Legally, you could sue for rescission of the contract (contract is cancelled, you return the dog, you get your money back), or for damages (you keep the dog, he pays you some of your money back - i.e. the difference in value between a UKC...

Accepted how? Is there a purchase and sale agreement signed by both you and the seller? If not, you are probably SOL. If there IS an agreement, then they might be in breach of it by not affording you reasonable access to have the appraisal performed so you can fulfill your conditions of...

What does your partnership agreement say? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you probably can't fire him, because he's the president and he outranks you. I think your remedy lies in shareholder rights law, not in employment law. He has certainly violated the spirit if not the...

There is nothing illegal with the lawyer owning a company that purchases debt and representing that company. It's probably not against your local lawyer codes of conduct either. They can go after funds in a joint account. They may ultimately not be entitled to them if you can prove they are...

I understand you're being sued for $350 under an agreement that originally called for tthe plaintiff to pay you $1500 for your trailer, and that you claim you only agreed to pay the $350 under duress. Is that correct? The rest of the details are very confusing. If you do end up going to...

When they tell you something is law, ask them for a citation. I suspect these things are not law. (I'm not sure I actually understand the first one - they are forcing you to stay in a 1 bedroom flat? Like, as in you can't leave?) I would be very surprised if the revocation of your visitor...

Since there's no wills, the disposition of property is governed by Texas' laws of intestacy. I am going to assume there is no surviving spouse (i.e. your dad's wife, a.k.a. your mom or stepmom) to complicate things. When your grandparents died, their house went to their children equally -...

What does your contract say you were supposed to have done with the samples? When were you to be paid? How does the contract provide it can be terminated? In absence of knowing these things, and maybe some other things, it is impossible to say what you should do. If it were me, I would...

Are your grandparents still alive? If not, did they have wills? Did your father have a will? Who is executor or administrator of the estates? Where did this take place?
