There need not be a formal reading of the will. You can obtain a copy by asking the executor. If he refuses to give you one, you might be able to obtain it from court. The will might need to be probated - which means it will be filed in court and the court supervises the collection and...

Maybe. I would press Scottrade on exactly what provision in your agreement states that limitation. This doesn't sound like a technical "system unavailable" problem but rather a policy reason for not processing transactions of the type you submitted.

Contact the court clerk in the district in which he lived to see if a will has been filed for probate. Not sure about whether compensation is available. I would suspect that, if you hadn't had any contact with him for 18 years, he was not responsible for your maintenance, so you are probably...

If its a small claims matter, he's almost certainly have to return to your jurisdiction to sue you. If he DOES come up with another "invoice", you can argue the doctrine called "res judicata", which means that this matter has already been conclusively settled between the two of you. He...

If you have an opinion from a local lawyer already saying 6 months, I would go with that. I would also concur with FlaRiptide's opinion. Simply changing things isn't in and of itself negligence. What was negligent about installing the guard rail?

irish is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful family law contributors on this board. She asked a legitimate question. Try being less dismissive, and more clear in your posts. What is it you seek to accomplish?

I don't know what you'd gain by taking it to court. You don't want anything from the bank, you just want to be left alone and to have this corrected. Small claims won't help with that. Have you been contacted by a debt collector or served with court papers by the bank yet?

The question is whether the attorney did anything wrong. Accepting a fee from a client is not wrong. I agree with your point that the lawyer could have advised the person of his rights. But I doubt that would have changed things. I don't assume the questioner had a right to free counsel...

Have you suffered because of her lie?

Conversion and detinue are essentially like theft - she has something that is rightfully yours, and you demand it back. I don't know whether you have any legal obligation to provide her with copies. I would not be surprised if you did. But her right to know the information almost certainly...

Exactly what is it he served you with?

Well, worst case scenario, you can sue her for your lost items. Probably in small claims court, depending on the value. Before that, you should do everything in your power to sort it out with our ex-roommate. What is the deal with her cousin? Why does he prefer to work while you're there?

No more double-posts on edits. We're cool.

Can we block that "good criminal lawyer in San Francisco" too? :)

It might be a form of fraud or theft from your LLC. More likely, it's simply contrary to whatever contractual arrangements, bylaws, or other documents you have governing your business. What do those say about spinning off lines of business?

I don't know what "all legal matters are to be made between her and I" means. But as executor, you are legally responsible for administering the trust and are legally entitled to the documents related to administration of the trust. The beneficiary might be entitled to a copy, but not to the...

Depends on your jurisdiction. Two years is not uncommon. If you are considering suing the city, there may be a drastically shorter limitation period. Consult a local lawyer.

The HOA doesn't have the right to attack and harass people, but most of what happened doesn't amount to attacking and harrassing. You might have a case to sue the person who pounded on your car, if they caused any damage. Frankly the rest of it sounds like an unfortunate lack of communication...

Sounds to me like there may be potential conflicts of interest. But in absence of any specifics, it is impossible to say.

I'm assuming this is a standard real estate contract and not something you drew up yourself with terms that are open to interpretation by the court. You're past the closing date and he didn't close? Yes, you can end the sale of the house. Technically, it already ended on its own terms when...
