    Joint ownership

    Not sure what "has a survivorship" means. Set up by the probate court as a result of what sort of proceeding? Who switched the house into your and your siblings' names, and why? What does "how the names are on the deed" mean? If you're asking whether it matters in what order the owners are...

    Accidentally lied about spouse's income during deposition.

    There's no such thing. A lie is intentional. An accidental misstatement is not a lie. Hypothetically, I suppose so. However, (1) the likelihood that the IRS would ever learn about deposition testimony in a state court personal injury case is virtually nonexistent, and (2) the deponent has...

    Private car seller not providing title after receiving payment

    Proceeding with the transaction at this point was a huge mistake. You can sue the seller, but what good will that do you if he's no longer in Guam? You could hold onto it in the hope that he returns to Guam someday. You could sue him where he lives now, but that will cost more than it's...

    Union Harrasment

    No one here has any possible way of knowing how some unknown people might react if you tell them something. Can it happen? Sure. Would it be legal? Depends on what it is.

    An attorney is suing me in small claims for fees

    I recall reading case authority that there can be no NIED claim without a personal injury. No such restriction exists for IIED claims, but the "extreme and outrageous conduct" restriction applies.

    An attorney is suing me in small claims for fees

    Prior thread on the same topic. Meaning what, exactly? I don't know; you haven't provided any relevant factual information. Assuming that the act on which you might base such a claim was the transfer of files and that HIPAA would be the applicable standard of care (the latter of which isn't...

    How Much Can Car Passenger Claim Pain & Suffering

    Single-car or multi-car accident? Whom are you being told was at-fault? Driving a car that she owns? What coverages does she have? If there was another car involved and there is an argument that the driver of that other car was at-fault, what coverages does he/she have? What is the...

    Contractor bait and switch

    Why would you enter into a contract and pay a non-refundable deposit without knowing how much the contract price was going to be? 1. Walk away from the contract and the deposit. 2. Proceed with the work in accordance with the contract. Beyond that, it's impossible to know without reading the...

    Drug Crimes, Substance Abuse Overturned

    2012 to be specific. Are you asking whether someone who paid a fine for committing a crime before 2012 might be entitled to have that money returned just because the act was subsequently decriminalized? Even if that had been a possibility, it's been more than a decade. From whom?

    Trying to serve my wife

    The court might take "emotional anguish" into account when determining the division of marital property, but a divorce court is not going to award you damages for "extreme emotional anguish."

    Trying to serve my wife

    You might get alimony. The court will divide marital property in a manner it determines to be equitable. You're not going to get anything for "extreme emotional anguish."

    Petitioner's Prove Up Declaration For Divorce

    When you asked the person who created the document in question, what response did you receive? What sort of document are we talking about? In my experience, the "/s/" is occasionally put on copies to indicate that there's an original signed version of the document. Who are "them"?

    Trying to serve my wife

    The "deadline" to file a responsive pleadings is one of the most lax rules in any court in any state. As was noted in one of the prior responses, there is a STRONG preference that cases be decided on their merits, not by default. If, once the 21-day deadline has passed, you can seek default...

    Guardianship, Conservatorship or POA

    Then they should consult with a local attorney who handles elder law matters. Are you intending to relay the responses you receive here to the family members? Did they ask you to poke around for this? In any event: To the best of my knowledge, no Washington attorneys follow these boards...

    Guardianship, Conservatorship or POA

    What is your connection to this situation? I'm not sure what "the family" means, but no family member (either acting alone or in concert) can appoint a guardian/conservator. Only a judge can do that. Answering these questions in the abstract would be of no value. The family member(s) who...

    Getting sue'd for a car accident in mid 2022 - Need advice

    You need to call the claims department of the insurer who settled the claim and demand that it retain an attorney to defend you in the lawsuit. One would assume the retained attorney will first send a copy of the written settlement agreement to the plaintiff's attorney and demand dismissal...

    ex-girlfriend refuses to allow access to expensive belongings in her house

    Sue for the return of the piano or to be allowed to hire movers to enter and take possession. Then you'll be entitled to the greater of the fair market value of the piano or the amount she receives. It appears Texas regards engagement rings as conditional gifts, so you're entitled to the...
