    What NOT to put in Will

    Ummm...the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven" or "Highway to Hell"? Seriously, what's the point of this post?

    University's new administrator wants to take back my private lab space

    There is no way that anyone who hadn't read these documents can speak intelligently about their legal effect.

    City Ordinance - consumer responsible for under street Sewage

    The only recourse here will be to persuade the city council (or whomever makes the ordinances in the city) to change the law.

    Making a Lease Turned down from housing based on credit file

    No. You should only file a discrimination complaint if you have evidence of illegal discrimination. Being "denied [due] to [your] credit history" and being denied "due to [a] lack of credit history" are NOT the same thing. So...call and ask.

    Consumer Law, Warranties Can podiatrist force me to complete and pay for six sessions

    A "verbal agreement" can be a contract. That said, if your "verbal agreement" did not obligate you to pay for the full course of treatment and was only a pay-as-you-go deal, then you should not be liable for any treatment you don't receive.

    Single Heirs distribution withheld

    Presumably your real question was whether, under the particular circumstances of your case, it was legally proper for the judge to require this waiver. The answer to that question is that I haven't the slightest idea. Nor will anyone here have the slightest idea. Why? Because none of the...

    Death taxes in Massachusetts, who pays...who don't?

    I'm not saying anything new here, but here's a short summary of the situation: Life insurance proceeds and money from an account of which you were the pay-on-death beneficiary are not part of the estate. It therefore appears you received nothing from the estate. The estate taxes are owed by...

    LLC for a Content Creator

    Maybe. Read this: Piercing the corporate veil - Wikipedia Neither is strictly necessary, but it would be unwise not to be abundantly clear that the LLC is the entity behind the production. If you're looking for "magic words" that will be dispositive of the issue, those don't exist. I...

    Will Signing Process (CA), Self-Proving Affidavit, etc...Help!

    Probate Code section 6110: (a) Except as provided in this part, a will shall be in writing and satisfy the requirements of this section. (b) The will shall be signed by one of the following: (1) By the testator. (2) In the testator’s name by some other person in the testator’s presence and by...

    Giving 30 day notice instead of 60

    Is this consistent with what the lease says? Also, if the lease term expires on July 22, then June 29 is NOT 30-days' notice. One would have to read the lease to know for sure. We? And didn't you say that he has already paid through the end of July? I agree with all of this, and...

    Intestate and life tenancy for unmarried partner

    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.

    Single Heirs distribution withheld

    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...

    Property owners' association renting storage space to members

    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...

    Garnishment

    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.

    Case against neighbor for fence damage from fallen tree

    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...

    Breaking a Lease Able to Break a Lease Due to Excessive Noise from Neighbors?

    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...

    Case against neighbor for fence damage from fallen tree

    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...

    My wife and I have both agreed to an agreed divorce. We have no children, assets. But I own a busine

    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...
