I think you should consider consulting with a divorce attorney, even if you don't start the process. Among other things, you should discuss the extent to which you can/should start separating your finances.

Using community property funds (e.g., either of your earnings during the marriage), right? Unless you keep her chained up, she has the ability to leave any time she wants. I honestly don't know what you're asking here. Your wife is free to come and go as she pleases - just like you. Legal...

It is impossible to probate one's own will. Per N.J.R.S. section 3B:18-14, if there is a single executor, he/she is entitled to 5% "on the first $200,000 of all corpus received by the fiduciary," plus 3.5% on the excess over $200k up to $1M, plus 2% on the excess over $1M (subject to the...

The GC's insurer? Or the GC's bonding company? Very different things. You want the company that issued the GC's contractor's license bond, which you can look up here: Check A License - CSLB (and, if you know who the subcontractors are who did shoddy work, you should look up their bonds as...

Most states have default rules (whether by statute or case law) when deeds are silent or ambiguous. I think the easiest and most practical construction would be a TIC. When one of the two spouse owners dies, the surviving spouse will presumably inherit the deceased spouse's interest and become...

Before I will continue, it is unlikely that any court would interpret this to mean you get what you want, no matter what. Rather, I think it would be interpreted to mean that the other party's performance will be held to a standard of reasonableness. No one who hasn't read the contract and...

First, I agree that this is ambiguous. Second, some context would be helpful. Are you any of the three people mentioned? If not, what is your connection to the situation? Third, was/is the grantor related to any (or all) of the grantees? Without more information, my guess is that each...

My mother's been dead for more than a decade and a half. Nevertheless, yes, it's possible to file a lawsuit. It's possible for me to file a lawsuit against Genghis Khan for murdering Adolf Hitler. I doubt, however, that this is the question you actually meant to ask. I'm guessing the...

Have the two nominated executors petitioned the surrogate's court and been appointed to serve as executors? Being a convicted felon does not automatically disqualify one from serving as executor. Was the crime of which your brother was convicted one that "may be adverse to the welfare of the...

Liability for what? Unquestionably. As indicated in the prior response, there's no way anyone here can provide you with any useful information without having relevant facts.

There are some inconsistencies here, but the take away is that you're not privy to the potential employer's rationale. That's fine, but it makes it hard to analyze this as anything other than a matter policy for the potential employer (although I suspect it has something to do with a desire not...

While a corporation may be qualified to do business in any number of states, a corporation can only be incorporated in one state. I therefore assume what you meant is that the corporation is qualified in a number of states. Why? You can buy all the property you want (subject to your...

You're not going to find anyone on a message board who will either hold your hand through the litigation process or attempt to provide some sort of step-by-step "how to" guide to litigation. You can, however, ask focused questions, and we may be able to provide useful information. Also, why do...

Unless the court in the other county is aware of the duplicate filing, there's zero chance, so make sure you get appropriate evidence in front of that court. The Wake County proceeding won't be dismissed for that reason. Get what approved? And, obviously, we have zero information about these...

Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Do you have written evidence that you gave him 30 days' notice to clear out the stuff?

Duplicate thread with several answers on another site: recording house in CALIF after GRANTOR of trust dies

In the sense that the shares are part of her estate, and her estate (likely) needs to be probated, I agree. That's a question only a local probate attorney who has reviewed the relevant documentation (including the corporation's by-laws) will be able to answer. As far as I know, no one who...

You can sue the driver. It would be improper to sue the insurer. I have no idea what "ODIC" stands for, but any insurer licensed to write auto insurance in California will be qualified to do business in CA and have a resident agent for service of process, which you can look up here. You...

Your link cited section 194-a of the New York Labor Law. Did you read it? It says, "No employer shall: a. rely on the wage or salary history of an applicant in determining whether to offer employment to such individual or in determining the wages or salary for such individual. b. orally or...

We have no way of knowing. Does the son's estate and/or the revocable trust (which presumably has become irrevocable following his death) have a net worth of at least $250k? How long ago did the son die? Has anyone spoken with the executor of the son's estate and/or the trustee of the trust...
