The term is "embezzlement". Why do you call it that? Embezzlement is a specific criminal offence with specific elements. In answer to your question, I suppose the parents could press criminal charges. I don't know why they'd do that if they'd already agreed to an arrangement, but they'd be...

Just by being named in the will, she does not have the right to access the house. Neither does the sister have the right to restrict her access. Until the executor transfers the house pursuant to the will, the executor says what goes. Who's the executor? What are they doing?

Divorce is most likely easier to DIY. For that reason I think it will be cheaper too, but I have no idea what your filing fees etc will be. Try calling the court clerk.

I don't think so. Your marriage does not fit any of the grounds for annulment. If you had been under 18 when you got married, you could have gotten an annulment up until the age of 18. http://law.findlaw.com/state-laws/annulment-and-prohibited-marriage/new-york/

1) Whether Partner B is liable for any existing debts depends on the partnership agreeement and the articles of incorporation, what Partner B did while a member of the company, and how the debts were incurred. Partner B might have guaranteed the bank loans and is personally liable for them...

You need either a divorce or an annulment before you get married. If you don't do either, your current marriage may be technically void; but you still need a legal determination of that status in order for YOU to remarry.

OK. Do you have a question?

This is a tough call. Step one is find the guy - if you can't do that you can't do anything. What to do if you find him as a touchy matter. Some people react badly to what they perceive to be idle threats - what could you, in one country, do to him in another? I would suggest you try to...

Well, I could leave you hanging... ;) There's no cognitive dissonance to resolve. Countersuits are allowed; but the specific countersuit you contemplated is virtually guaranteed to fail. Your original post was asking about a countersuit for your time and other incurred costs. I assume you...

I don't think there are any experts specifically in Oklahoma divorce law on this forum. She can ask the court clerk. I understand that some online divorce services are cheap and good, but I personally have no experience with them. She might try googling around and see if she can find a...

The "visitor wall" is where others can post messages to you that people can read. There is a private message function as well (your "mailbox"). I tend not to use these simply because someone else might come along with the same question you have, another poster might have a better answer than...

The requirements for a codicil are the same as the requirements for a will. Both are called a testament, and Louisiana (for its own bizarre linguistic purposes) dropped the "h" from "holographic". So the codicil is a "olographic testament". The legal requirements are set out in Louisiana...

That's a lot of verbiage for a $200 bass. But go ahead, knock yourself out. :) Counterclaims are certainly allowed - noone has said otherwise. However, you have nothing to counterclaim. He hasn't done anything bad to you, other than try to cancel the deal.

The state doesn't require it; the creditors do. The state permits and enforces it. But yes, the creditors can force the house to be sold.

He should send a registered letter to her requesting the living trust document and giving her a week to comply. He can also talk to the lawyer who drew up the trust to see if there is another copy. Or check the wills registry (if your jurisdiction permits the filing of living trusts). If...

Last first - you can't charge her the executor's fee. You charge it to the estate. If the estate can't pay right now (because it can't sell the property), it owes you. Does the will say anything about her living there or continuing to have the right to live there? If not, you are within...

Depends what you want the clause to do. If all you want to say is "once you pay me this, you're not getting it back, no matter what", that's pretty easy. But it's also onerous on the employer and might be a disincentive to potential employers. Maybe you might want to set out that, after...

Based on what you've posted above, no. Even if you had signed a contract with her, no. How was this possibly your fault? Simple answer, it was not.

Yes, they can. They probably will need to obtain judgment against you first, but based on what you've posted above, they should have no problem doing that. I would strongly recommend you look closely at the terms of your contract before you default on it. Some are very onerous.

His grounds would be that he has fulfilled his obligations under the contract by paying you the stipulated price, but you have breached the contract by not supplying him with the finished product as required. Frankly, that's not a bad starting point. Your defence is that he terminated the...
