I think you need to have a contract lawyer in the country/state whose law will apply to the contract and where any conflicts would be resolved advise you regarding which terms you need/should have and exactly how those terms should be written. If you don't have provisions in the contract...

My answer is for law in the U.S. The answer may be different for litigation in other nations. Those with a direct stake in the lawsuit are those persons/entities that are parties to the court case and will be bound by the court's decision in the case. For example, if I sue the U.S. government...

That's the idea. You may need to go to court to get an order for the law firm to do it that way if it is reluctant to do it otherwise, but you don't have to let this recalcitrant sibling hold everything up until they get their way. My guess is that once you move to go around the holdout the...

Then the time for adverse possession would begin to run as to your ownership in the property when the neighbor was making use of your land without authorization. Typically when a property transfers the adverse possessor may tack on the use he/she made of the property under the old owner as part...

Ask a probate attorney in the state where that parent's estate was probated about the possibility of creating a bank account or trust in the name of the hold out to receive and hold the hold out's cut until he or she finally decides to take his/her share.

One cannot adversely possess state land in most states. Neither of you has ownership rights to the state land, and absent a grant of an easement by the state, none of you has any greater rights to use the land than may be available to the public under state law. It also means that as far as any...

Community property is a system of property ownership; it defines what property is community property and what is not, and with regard to community property, what rights each spouse has in that property. He may only pass to people the property or rights to property that he has. Thus, if he...

HIPAA is a law that requires covered entities to keep confidential protected health information (PHI) and not disclose it to others except as permitted by the HIPAA law and the HHS regulations that implement it. One of those exceptions is when the patient authorizes the disclosure. The second...

The main advantage of a revocable living trust is avoiding the time and expense of probate will still providing the tax benefits that the person would get if he/she passed their property by will, intestate succession, or pay on death beneficiary designations/tranfer on death deeds. A non...

For what purpose does this determination matter? Is it for some legal issue where U.S. law matters, or the law of the place where the recipient is located? If your concern is not a legal one, then what is the reason for the question? Also, the the details of the dispute between the nations...

You always want to check what the legal service you are using states how current the information is. And the more current the source, the better. The California legislature is still in session for 2024, and all non emergency bills passed this session will become effective January 1, 2025. As of...

That depends on why it's not moving faster. Lawyers provide legal advice and representation to clients. Most lawyers don't do technical drawings or oversee the process to get the drawings from wherever they are located. That's up to the client to do. Just because the requiremennt is stated in...

A trademark is established by the use of the mark in commerce. No registration is required, but registration does provide some added benefits to the holder. Note that the specific design of the icon itself is also protected under copyright law so making use of that icon image may subject the...

Yes. Assuming that the asset is worth more than the donor's the donee gets the asset with same basis the donor had. This is known as a carry over basis in tax law. If it is likely that the OP's brother will die before the OP does then giving the OP a share of it now would result in higher...

It can be done before the mortgage is paid off. That's the whole point of the part of the federal Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 that made it impossible for a mortgage lender to terminate the mortgage early using a due on sale/transfer provision when the transfer is one of...

Not in Colorado. The state legislature abolished the death penalty in 2020. Prior that, in the period from 1975 to 2020 Colorado had the death penalty as an option, but only one person in all that time was actually executed. The rest of those who were given death sentences during those years...

A little more detail for the OP: It wouldn't be costly to actually do it. The issue is whether that consent will be effective for all future calls unless revoked, and if that is possible, exactly what the written consent needs to say to make it enforceable. For that, you need legal advice in...

Typically what you would want to do when accommodations were granted months ahead of time is contact the court clerk shortly before the hearing to confirm those accommodations will be available. If you didn't do that, did you raise the issue with the judge at the start of the hearing? If you...

The way the Colorado law is on parole, this sentence at least guarantees he will never be eligible for parole and will serve a true life sentence. Justly deserved, though I wish we taxpayers didn't have to pay for housing this scumbag for the next 40+ years that he might live. Whatever assets he...
