These boards are for issues of U.S. law only (despite the fact that the drop-down menu allows you to select non-U.S. jurisdictions). I suggest you google for "UK legal forums" or something like that.

As phrased, the answer to your question is yes. However, since we know nothing about the case, which apparently has been appealed, it will be impossible to provide any useful feedback to you. Why don't you start by telling us what your relationship to the deceased person was and whether or not...

No. It may be desirable to buy more/different insurance, but increasing the charge doesn't impact the amount or type of insurance that might be needed or desirable. Since we don't know anything about the association's current insurance coverage, it's impossible to opine intelligently about...

Assuming the writ is connected with a lawsuit against you that result in a judgment being entered against you, the amount on the writ should match the amount of the judgment (plus any interest and costs that may be permitted under Colorado law). Your credit report is completely irrelevant.

No, but this seems to be the element that you'll have difficulty proving. The law does not impose strict liability in a situation like this. In other words, the neighbor isn't liable solely because the tree is his. You have to prove negligence. The elements of negligence are duty, breach...

I can sympathize. The police aren't likely to do much of anything (at least not anything permanent). The landlord has both the ability and the legal duty to preserve the peace. Unfortunately, if your landlord is recalcitrant, enforcing your rights is likely to be difficult and inconvenient...

In order to prevail, you will have to prove that your neighbor knew or should have known of the condition of the tree/branch and failed to take reasonable precautions against damage or injury. Your two posts in this thread seem to indicate that the condition was discovered after the occurrence...

What is "it"? Yikes..."Do you or your spouse own a business?" You told us that you own a business, so the answer must be yes. Even if you did own a business together, there is no legal requirement for either of you to hire a lawyer. However, if neither of you has a lawyer, then one of you...

Thought #1: Since you weren't and aren't the trustee, you seem to have overstepped your bounds at the start of things. Thought #2: You probably should have taken action much earlier than you did. Thought #3: You're represented by your own attorney, and that is the person from whom you...

Is this a mutual protective order, or does it only restrain your wife? By phone. In writing. Smoke signals. I assume this isn't what you actually meant to ask, and that your intent was to ask if it's legal for you to communicate with her. Obviously, no one who hasn't seen your order can...

I told you four times in April and June 2021 to get an attorney. Do you think I'm going to tell you something different now that you've actually been sued?

How long have you been in your apartment? When did the neighbors start making the noise about which you've been complaining? When does your current lease term expire? In response to your landlord telling you that he/she/it "can't do anything else," did you remind him/her/it about the lease...

I'm going to note that you didn't answer a lot of the questions I asked, so that limits my ability to provide information. So...it wasn't just you and your sibling on the call? Where were all of the participants to that call located? Whose attorney? Your attorney? But it wasn't just the...

What sort of clients? In other words, what is your profession? Regardless of the law, are your clients aware that you routinely record your calls with them? Involved how? Are you a party to the case? If so, are you represented by an attorney? Is the case in state or federal court? In...

Based on what you've written here, her long-deceased husband is the owner of record, which means that his estate owns the property. That raises some other potential issues, but the fact that "the person who wrote up the will . . . did not sign the will" is meaningless. Under North Carolina...

You sort of dropped us into the middle of a story without giving us any background. I assume this is an auto repair shop and that you were in a car accident of some sort. Whose insurance issued the check? Yours? Another driver's? Why was the check payable to you and the lienholder? The...

Not sure. @adjusterjack @cbg ???

One cannot give guardianship/conservatorship of oneself to another. Only a court can order a guardianship/conservatorship. Can you explain exactly what it is your children's father did? What sort of paperwork? Is there a court order that he is under a guardianship/conservatorship? There's...

In post #5 in this thread, I wrote that it sounds "like you'd be well-advised to consult with an estate planning attorney and, possibly to create a trust, pour-over wills, "living wills," and possibly other documents." In post #6, you responded to me by saying, "We have all of those docs...

How so? Which was what? For whom/what? Is someone seeking to prevent you from doing this? Seems appropriate. Nope. For starters, a doctor's diagnosis of a mental illness is a statement of opinion. Defamation requires a false statement of fact. Additionally, statements made in the...
