And if they don't know, how could they do anything at all? :)

Well, he could incorporate the business under his name, hire people to run it, and take whatever profits it generates. Or he could sell his client list.

Give us the facts. Otherwise this is just guesswork.

Protect you from whom? If, say, he were to cut down a tree and it landed on Mr. X, no agreement between the two of you will take away Mr. X's legal right to sue. What you probably want is an indemnity: he agrees to indemnify you in the event Mr. X sues you. But if he doesn't have insurance...

You can try. Whether you will succeed is anybody's guess. It's better than nothing, but it leaves a lot open to ambiguity.

Sounds a little bit like double-dipping to me. $350 plus two new air conditioners - what's that worth? More power to you if you can get them to go for it. But yes, you're generally handling the situation the right way. Negotiation beats having to go to court.

I think you mean to say the board wants you to indemnify every single owner below you in case of leaks, not the other way 'round. :) It's probably legal and enforceable if you agree to it. They can't force you to do anything - you have the option of not installing the bathroom. I agree, it's...

Sue the driver and the mother. Let them fight it out if they think they shouldn't be a party. FWIW, there is no advantage to being plaintiff or counter-plaintiff.

Yes. A guarantor always has the right to sue the debtor who defaults. The right way to do it depends on the rules of civil procedure in your jurisdiction and the amount you were dinged for. Sue in small claims if it's within the limit. State the facts: you co-signed, the friend defaulted...

I'm not aware that frequency is one of the things a court will consider when deciding whether to grant a restraining order. What is the situation at your workplace? Is there a receptionist or security guard who could be given a picture of your relatives and told not to admit them? At a...

Duplicate post.

What his spouse is entitled to depends very much on the facts of the situation. His attorney has a much better grasp of those facts than anyone here. It is entirely possible she is entitled to some portion of the money.

Without knowing the exact details of the situation and how your state property registry operates, it is impossible to say how this happened. Generally it is possible to become the owner of a property before signing a purchase agreement - in some cases, you can become an owner without ever...

There is very little more to tell. You take them to small claims by filing in Massachussets where they currently reside. You'll have a heck of a time collecting because there's no incentive to them to pay, but theresa gives some good ideas on what might be possible.

Your father's estate is liable for the debts. In other words, they could be charged against his accounts, the life insurance policies (if those are payable to his estate instead of to your mother directly as beneficiary), or possibly his half of the house. Your mother isn't liable for them...

Depends where you are and what the fencing laws are in your jurisdiction, and where exactly (on whose property) the wall is. If it's your wall, tell him to build his own wall, at his own cost, if he wants something bigger. If he wants to add to your wall, he's welcome to do so, again at his...

It is possible to do it yourself. If you want to make sure it's done right, you should probably consult a lawyer.

Not necessarily. Arbitration itself it not a legal process. But many of the things they might be doing in the course of arbitration (evaluating the legal theory of the case, checking legal causes of action or defences, etc.) could be. It depends on what they are doing.

What were you cited for - violation of 4511.21, or something else?

Exactly what it means depends on where you are - different states have different rules. But basically filing a praecipe is just a way of asking the court for something. In this case, it means somebody asked the court to vacate a judgment. Who, and what judgment, and how this is related to the...
