I'm not sure what you mean by "final account value" or what happened with these stocks. I believe proper accounting dictates that the figure used to calculate the attorney's fees should be the cash proceeds realized when the stock was sold.

You're entitled to half of its value. Whether he gets that by selling the house and splitting the proceeds, or keeping it and paying for it himself, is something you and he can work out. You're entitled to a copy of the will. If he won't give it to you, he's probably in breach of his duties...

You've done well so far. See whether he meets your demand in a reasonable time, and if he doesn't, sue.

You don't need a lawyer. You might want to consult a lawyer at this time to identify what will be involved in executing the will, to see whether you want to agree to act. If and when you become executor, you might want a lawyer (it's a good idea) to assist you in executing the will to make...

This is a very curious question to ask. Sounds like you have reason to suspect the money is not clean.

If it's any consolation, this happens a lot - there are a ton of questions to this effect on this board. Short answer: the divorce decree is between you and your husband, and the credit card company is not bound by it. They're entitled to collect from you. Your recourse is against your...

Did you know, or ought you to have known, that it was stolen?

"Several people" meaning whom? Did the bank manager sign for the delivery? What does your employer say?

The homeowner is. This isn't governed by your contract; this is unlawful conversion of your personal property. I would write a letter to the homeowner advising them that they have no claim against you and no right to hold your tools, and if they are not returned forthwith, you will sue for...

There are no UK posters on this board. VERY generally... You could press charges for criminal damage (as I believe it's called in the UK), and you could sue her for damages. To press charges, contact the local constabulary. I have no idea how you sue - I would contact your local court or...

Your business qualifies to be an LLC by incorporating. There's no reason I know of why you couldn't incorporate.

New York is the only state that still has a complete marital exemption on the books, but this has been invalidated by the Court of Appeals of New York, which found that there is "no rational basis for distinguishing between marital and nonmarital rape." People v. Liberta (1984), 64 N.Y.2d 152...

Without knowing anything about the circumstances, it is impossible to tell how much weight would be given to any piece of evidence.

You may get more answers if you expand a bit on your financial arrangements and your question.

There is a duty to mitigate. That means if the hall is damaged by your breach of contract, they can't just be idle - they have to make reasonable efforts to rent it out. The problem is, they're not seeking damages from you. If you had breached the contract and they were suing you for the...

You're welcome. Better luck with the new lawyer.

You don't say where you are (Florida?), and lien laws vary by jurisdiction. But generally the lien is claimed over the property the contractor did work on, not specifically against the owner of the property. On what you've said so far, it probably doesn't matter that the contract wasn't with...

The next step is up to your sister as she is administrator. Probably she should retain another probate lawyer, get the file from the disbarred guy (if there is one), and do whatever remains to be done. Same as if she was still using the original lawyer. I would suggest she look very carefully...

She's an adult, she made her own choices. I can see how a court might be persuaded to hold you liable for some of her costs, but I think it is pretty unlikely. Unless and until you get served with court documents, I wouldn't worry about it.

Unless Georgia has adopted some form of the Uniform Foreign Depositions Act recognising Florida subpoenas, probably not. Not until a Georgia court so orders you. You could be, if a Georgia court subsequently recognizes and gives effect to the Florida order. More likely than you going to...
