Thanks for the replies. After a consultation with an attorney, I now understand the we two surviving siblings vested as joint tenants now own 50% each on the real property (which we'll slightly remodel and sell). I'll file an affidavit of death of joint tenant with death certificates of both my...

The property is a house and land held as joint tenants. Of course, there are other small assets and personal property

If there are three siblings on a property's title and one of the three passes, does the heir (next of kin) to the deceased sibling inherit the diseased's position, or is the title then in just the two sibling's name? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the kind words. Agreed, communication can be tricky. Still, being told what I should or should not be interested in, or ask about, tends to inspire the expletive-flinging name-calling part of my brain. I try to just laugh... There is an incredible audio "book" titled The Four...

Silly me, trying to inject humor. Although synonyms are synonyms, these are, at least were originally, two different words with two different meanings. This is the kind of thing that gave me the idea that each word had its own meaning. “Generally speaking, an attorney, or attorney-at-law, is a...

LOL - Yes! All ears, eyes, nose...and and and....and I'm giving half my lottery winnings to my mom, half to my partner, half to my son, half to my.... I found that spring! It's the INTERWEBS!

Thank you for telling me what my needs are. SMH. (and lol) No, I am not any of the parties I've mentioned, yet I am close enough and care enough, and interested enough to boldly ask where no queries have gone before. That's how I learn. I do genuinely thank you for the two relevant answers...

Although the families involved will be consulting with a qualified attorney, my thirst for understanding may be unquenchable. I respect that these things are complicated and that I am not an attorney or even a lawyer. That said, I hope you'll entertain a couple of questions. (even though I may...

I'm glad you can get past my terminology inadequacies. Learning as much as I can. "Regular" court vs Small Claims. Thanks.

Nice to know (that I might be able to go civil instead of small claims). While I understand that small claims is more "casual" (allows circumstantial?, etc.) I like knowing that changing "venues" is a possibility in regards to negotiating with the insurance company. The district court folks...

AdjusterJack - thank you for the links. Between those, and what I can find online I am learning a great deal and understand why unsatisfying answers like "it's complicated" or "depends" are actually relevant. While I continue my self-directed education, a question that I (perhaps foolishly)...

Yes, A is the business and they hired B to paint the stripes. The injured party sustained a hernia, had about $3, 000 worth of Chiropractic Care, and has lived in the Pacific Northwest area long enough to understand about slippery surfaces in the rain. The fact that other employees were having...

I didn't know one must state a purpose in order to ask a question. Here are a few purposes: Increase my understanding of liability Discover if, possibly, the concepts within an exculpatory clause such as those found on parking garage tickets extend to contractual agreements between a business...

Pardon my ignorance. Perhaps I should have asked a different question. Can you take off a few of the ways where business A mmaybe found liable, as well as a few of the ways where business B would be?

Can liability be signed away contractually? Business A has parking lot warning stripes painted by business B. Contract States that business B shall hold harmless, defend, etc., business A against any liability. Customer slips on freshly painted, newly rained on stripes. On completing the...

I have a few questions. Key issues: executor, living will, normal will, open lawsuit future award to go to physicians and children, making arrangements. Sorry for the long post. Here’s the scenario. I am a chiropractic physician and have made friends with, and even taken-in a woman...

just in case in case it's more polite for me to post the "what happened," well, nothing. It seems that it's up to my son to pursue it during his summer break - which he hasn't. Thank you for your consideration. I'll remain: Lucky

It's over $3K. Son wants to go to small claims court. He sent demand letter certified, but employer didn't sign for it. Next is to serve her with a court date. What can we do if she's too elusive and too hard to catch to serve? TIA from Washington State

Emplolyer owes son $3K. Son is away at school. I asked if I could speak for him with a general or limited power of attorney. One court clerk said the actual person has to be present. Another said "ask an atty." OK, so I'm asking (WA State) TIA, Lucky

An employer owes my son about $3,000. She has not paid him. Small claims calander is months away for a court date so son has no judgement yet. Employer is selling her home (she works out of it - mortgage business). Can my son file a lien on her property before it sells and before getting a...
