    Trust Money

    Not necessarily. It doesn't matter who pays the purchase price, it matters who the mobile home is transferred to. So long as its transferred to your name, the trust will not be the owner. The executor of the trust acquires no rights in property purchased with the trust funds, regardless of...

    Counterfeit Goods Claim ... I am not doing!!

    It sounds like, if these are the authentic item, there is no counterfeiting. If they're not, you're not the person manufacturing them. Exactly what is the manufacturer alleging you are doing?

    smoke from my burning car damaged neighbors house

    If you think your smoke didn't damage his house, ask him for proof. Before and after photos showing the damage would be good. If you think the quote is too high, get your own quote.

    Wrongful refusal to process building permit

    If you are not barred by the public duty doctrine, and you can prove negligent performance of duty, you might be entitled to damages. Sue their asses. You're going to need a lawyer.

    Joint Power of Attorney

    It's news to me, but I don't know Virginia law. As far as I'm aware, where a POA confers power on two attorneys, it is presumed to be joint, and cannot be exercised by each individually. If your brother breaches his fiduciary duties as POA, you probably won't be liable unless you participate...

    Criminal Trials, Hearings Material Misrepresentation

    "Material" means, roughly, significant to the matter at hand. In the context of your friend's situation, it has a specific meaning relative to the statute she was charged with. I don't know what that statute is or how the courts interpret "material" in relation to it. You might try posting...

    Criminal Trials, Hearings Material Misrepresentation

    What's riding on this? I.e. what difference does it make whether it's "material" or not? Material to what?

    Executor of a will

    No, you do not have to use the son as your lawyer. An executor can choose whatever lawyer they like to assist them in executing the terms of the will. Don't confuse executors, adminstrators, and lawyers - these are all different things. You and the old lawyer are the executors. If he can't...

    Praecipe To Vacate Judgment Filed

    OK. So the mortgage company is seeking to vacate a judgment. What judgment, and how it is related to the house, is unclear.

    Changing Wills

    He's allowed to change his will. No lawyer is required. So long as he complies with the formal requirements (and in New York, that means this: http://www.legalzoom.com/wills-state-requirements/new-york-will.html), it will be valid. From what I can tell about the changing CDs issue, there...

    Executor of a will

    Depends on the terms of the will. But normally, if an executor is unwilling to act, it is up to someone else (not that executor) to apply to be administrator. Usually that is a family member or other beneficiary, not the son of the unwilling executor.

    My lawyer predicts guilty verdict despite knowing charge wont be 'made out'...

    You're being tried by jury? That's why you might be found guilty. I'm not sure I agree with your lawyer that you WILL be found guilty, but juries are unpredictable. If you have a strong legal argument (and I'm not saying you do), then why not present it to a judge, who is more likely to...

    Legality of placing hold on cleared check

    Yes. Banks can place holds for other reasons as well - if they suspect the cheque has been altered, or to ensure the drawor of the cheque hasn't stopped payment on it, for example.

    police tracking

    Why do you suspect the police are involved, or that you are being GPS tracked? Perhaps more plausible, but still wildly unrealistic, is that all these people staring and listening to their cell phones merely want you to THINK there is some conspiracy afoot. It could just be a concerted effort...

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Shoplifting Arrest, 1st time offender in Canada

    You will likely have to go to court. I don't know what this "punishment in the mail" business is. You can't be punished unless you are convicted of a crime. You will have a criminal record if you are convicted. You might avoid a criminal record by being found not guilty, by being found...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Is a conditional discharge a conviction?

    Depends on your jurisdiction. In Canada, a conditional discharge is not a conviction. You can truthfully answer "no" if asked if you have been convicted. Other places, you might be considered to have been convicted until you have completed the terms of the discharge.
