    Corporate Law When to issue shares after opening a corporation?

    TC is right (of course). The lawyer that handles the incorporation typically can handle the initial issuance and guide the principals through the initial shareholders/board elections. I still remember sitting down the day after our corporation was created as one of the (then) only two...

    No will left by deceased

    Your understanding is wrong. If the value of the estate is less than $166,250, the small estate process can be used. Without a will, the laws of intestate succession apply. There doesn't appear that you have any claim (let alone a superior one) to anything in the estate. "Shacked up...

    Justice System, Police, Courts Best online criminal justice schools?

    While Harvard does have a program with "criminal justice" in its name, it's a policy type thing (mostly targeted at those with law degrees). It's not a gateway to a law enforcement career.

    City Ordinances

    Even without it being a "property tax" the municipality often can levy such fees whether you want them or not.

    Right to copy of trust

    Eh? A pour-over will isn't any different than any other will. It has to be probated (other than the exceptions various states have for small estates). All it does is direct the assets in the estate to be moved to the trust rather than directly to the heirs.

    Can a mechanic take possession of your vehicle if it’s been on their lot for several months?

    Writ of retrieval. You get it from going up before the justice of the peace (its one of the small claims actions).

    Victim of mortgage company in NC

    At least I live in NC and have been in a court here (yes, I'm neither a lawyer nor a cat). I told you what you are up against. The Magistrate who heard your small claims isn't a lawyer either. The scary thing is these guys also do things that OUGHT to require some legal experience like...

    Estate Settlement Costs

    State law here in NC caps the fee at no more than 5% of the estate value. How much less than that is a point of negotiation between the attorney and the estate. It typically goes between 1 and 5%. Typically smaller estates pay the larger fee while larger ones can get the low end.

    Is foreclosure legally possible in Texas when

    You misunderstand the California law. The decision doesn't say the DOT because void if the assignment isn't recorded, it just says that the borrower has the right to challenge the validity of that transfer at foreclosure time. The issue was whether the borrower had standing to sue (even...

    Can a mechanic take possession of your vehicle if it’s been on their lot for several months?

    They can file a storage (and if owed money for the repairs, a mechanics) lien and foreclose on the car if they follow the right procedures.

    How long were the holds for? Where was she when she wasn't in the hospital?

    Dealing with self-insured

    The procedure here isn't really that different than if they were commercially insured. You have the same two options either way.

    Consumer Fraud Tax Relief Company

    If they're still around with any assets to sue. Most of these places seem rather short lived with the company insolvent and the principals disbarred.

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses Can't believe it is a criminal charge

    Just because it isn't criminal doesn't mean it's not reported. Summary offenses in PA for example, show up on live scan.

    Victim of mortgage company in NC

    Wasn't claiming uniqueness, just that it was mired in history (yes, to the colonial era, but there was some fun and games with our legislature here post civil war that made it even more quirky). Texas Justices of the Peace are similar in this regard. While they were established in the state...

    Victim of mortgage company in NC

    Your understanding of the law is going to bode even worse for you in district court. While it is easy to appeal, you aren't going to see "another judge" because you've not even seen a first one yet. The small claims are heard by magistrates who aren't even required to have legal training...

    Expired immigrant visa: worth it?

    "I was told" means nothing. You need to rely on the law. The current law. Not what someone has told you in the past. If you want to come here as a student, talk to the schools you are interested in. Nearly every program that has the ability to accept foreign students has an office...

    Prop 13 Tax Base Transfer

    Prop 13 is a statewide thing, and if you both properties were in the same county, there's no problem. Not all counties will allow an intercounty base value transfer however. If you buy in San Diego County you're OK, but Alameda, LA, Orange, Riverside, San Bernadino, San Mateo, Santa Clara...
