    Check Fraud Protection

    Does anyone know if there is a Banking Law, or some other source of protection, if someone steals your checks and starts cashing them, provided, of course, you notify your bank as soon as you discover it, say at the receipt of your next statement. Just wondering because someone has done it to...

    Estate Planning, Asset Protection and Government Assistance

    My Dad and Mom were divorced and living separately, with no immediately family nearby. My Dad's broker had been stealing from him and when he was told he failed quickly. I responded immediately and he gave me his Power of Attorney, but we were too late (or he was too determined) to reverse...

    Estate Planning, Asset Protection and Government Assistance

    Try this: In my wife's family, and with other families in the area they are from, it is common practice for elderly people to "sign over" their assets (bank accounts, house, etc.) to a child or other family member as they (elederly person) approach "nursing home" time, so that bill is picked...

    As Long As We're On Timeshare . . .

    Hey, I said "someone" and now you are saying "me". ;) This "someone" has the original papers showing part of the purchase was financed, but the paperwork on that "fell through cracks" 13 years ago. "Someone" would have a cow if a payment book suddenly showed up! :D

    E-mails--who has rights to them

    Here's some stuff I found while waiting for an answer here: http://www.dias.qut.edu.au/copyright/crguideemail.html & From the US Copyright Office: "The person who wrote the email is the author of the text he wrote. He owns the copyright on this text. It doesn't matter if the...

    Thanks. The forum owner has obviously taken some action as the offender has subsided, along with the posting of forum rules.

    Estate Planning, Asset Protection and Government Assistance

    Would someone please discuss asset protection as it relates to receiving government assistance, such as for a nursing home? Could you talk about things like adding names to deeds and titles, transferring title, and trusts? TIA

    As Long As We're On Timeshare . . .

    Let's say someone purchased a timeshare in Orlando 13 years ago. They agreed to pay a portion on a mortgage, however, before that got set up, the owner of the resort stepped back in and kicked the marketing company out. The buyer never was billed for the remaining balance. The resort owner...

    E-mails--who has rights to them

    I asked this in another thread, but apparently it is buried. So, I'll ask again. If someone sends me an e-mail, can I share that with others? It seems that some on the Internet are claiming that there is some special rights of ownership, or "authorship" (much like copyright) that are...

    I can't answer your specific question but I can tell you that on the US Department of Justice web-site there is information about folks who are now sitting in prison for using e-mail to send harassing threats. I found it doing a Google search last week. http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/cybercrime/

    Questions About Internet Forums

    Now, to be specific. Let's say a forum owner banned a person because they abused other members, bombarding them with hateful comments both on the forum and by using e-mail links obtained from the forum. Then, the forum owner knowingly allowed this person back on the forum, under a new name...

    Help me! I'm freaked by cyber-vigilantes!

    If that is an answer to my question, what I am asking is whether it is OK to share an e-mail, by forwarding it to another person, much as one would share a letter with someone else. Try these two examples: My attorney sent me a letter that did not contain any "copyrighted" content, just...

    Replacing the Estate's Attorney

    Update. A disturbing letter arrived from the attorney for the Estate. Without mentioning the result of the Hearing scheduled for yesterday (since the letter was written and mailed three days ago), the attorney discussed moving the case into the litigation phase (as if it were a done deal)...
