    Consumer Law, Warranties Can you sue a drug manufacturer in small claims

    Has a doctor told you that this particular drug was the cause of these things? Did the doctor who prescribed the drug review the potential side effects with you? Did you read any of the packaging that came with the drug? Mental health side effects, including suicidal thoughts or actions, have...

    faulty product

    I assume this means you filed a complaint in a court (i.e., you filed suit) and did not attach documentary evidence to the complaint. If that's correct, you certainly may file an amended complaint (whether it's necessary or desirable to do so is, of course, a different question). However, if...

    Adding a "Special Stipulation" to A Will?

    Please think twice about this. What happens of the two co-execs don't agree about something? As for your questions: 1. How? With words that clearly express your intent. Where? It doesn't matter. No need for a separate document. 2. No way for persons unfamiliar with the situation to...

    Executor Withholding and Misappropriating Funds

    So...that's pretty vague, but.... If you don't want this to be done, you (and whoever is of the same mind about this) should make your position known in a clear writing that is directed to the executor and the executor's attorney. The executor would be foolish to proceed contrary to the heirs'...

    Europe car accident

    I'm assuming you don't have more info than this, but what does "the filing" mean? I assume it refers to litigation, but maybe not. Define "often" and "move." As the first response noted, none of us know anything about the legal system in any of the nearly 50 sovereign nations in Europe...

    What NOT to put in Will

    I disagree. The only reason to do the $1.00 thing is to avoid an argument by the excluded heir that the testator forgot about him/her. That can be accomplished just as easily by mentioning the excluded heir and a statement along the lines of: "I am intentionally making no provision for any...

    Making a Lease Turned down from housing based on credit file

    It says no such thing. It says that, in connection with the sale or rental of housing or the extension of a mortgage loan, "It is illegal discrimination to take any of [several listed] actions because of race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability...

    Executor Withholding and Misappropriating Funds

    Your post raises lots of questions. When and in what county was probate commenced? What was the date on which the court appointed the executor to serve in that capacity? Is the executor represented by an attorney? Are you one of the beneficiaries? If not, what's your connection to the...

    What NOT to put in Will

    Ummm...the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven" or "Highway to Hell"? Seriously, what's the point of this post?

    City Ordinance - consumer responsible for under street Sewage

    The only recourse here will be to persuade the city council (or whomever makes the ordinances in the city) to change the law.

    Making a Lease Turned down from housing based on credit file

    No. You should only file a discrimination complaint if you have evidence of illegal discrimination. Being "denied [due] to [your] credit history" and being denied "due to [a] lack of credit history" are NOT the same thing. So...call and ask.

    Consumer Law, Warranties Can podiatrist force me to complete and pay for six sessions

    A "verbal agreement" can be a contract. That said, if your "verbal agreement" did not obligate you to pay for the full course of treatment and was only a pay-as-you-go deal, then you should not be liable for any treatment you don't receive.

    Single Heirs distribution withheld

    Presumably your real question was whether, under the particular circumstances of your case, it was legally proper for the judge to require this waiver. The answer to that question is that I haven't the slightest idea. Nor will anyone here have the slightest idea. Why? Because none of the...

    Death taxes in Massachusetts, who pays...who don't?

    I'm not saying anything new here, but here's a short summary of the situation: Life insurance proceeds and money from an account of which you were the pay-on-death beneficiary are not part of the estate. It therefore appears you received nothing from the estate. The estate taxes are owed by...

    Maybe. Read this: Piercing the corporate veil - Wikipedia Neither is strictly necessary, but it would be unwise not to be abundantly clear that the LLC is the entity behind the production. If you're looking for "magic words" that will be dispositive of the issue, those don't exist. I...

    Giving 30 day notice instead of 60

    Is this consistent with what the lease says? Also, if the lease term expires on July 22, then June 29 is NOT 30-days' notice. One would have to read the lease to know for sure. We? And didn't you say that he has already paid through the end of July? I agree with all of this, and...
