How to be sure it's real? I suppose that depends on what you mean by "real," but you can call the person whose signature it purports to be and ask. How to be sure it's verified? I have no idea what this means. Verified by whom? How to be sure it's legal? Again, what do you mean by that...

No. Asking whom? You don't need a "right" to ask something. We don't know anything about your relationship with your father's widow or any other person who might have your father's estate planning documents. That being said, the way that I usually ask people for things is by picking up the...

Whether you're an heir depends on whether your father had a will and, if he did, whether he left you anything in the will. You could be an heir and not a beneficiary. You could be a beneficiary and not an heir. You could be both. No. The California Secretary of State doesn't list...

Is his widow one of the two who had kids with him? Or was she wife #3? Did he have a will? If so, what does it say? If you don't know the answer, then you need to reach out to whomever is likely to have the will. So...this may seem like an odd question...why do you think you're an heir...

Who says it is?

Well...let's see: "Allegedly chased." No. They actually did chase the guy. "Allegedly made verbal remarks toward them." Did he? I couldn't hear anything that clearly came from that guy. What did he say? Also, at the beginning of the shot, he picked something up from the ground. What was...

I do not believe your recitation of North Carolina law is accurate. Do you have a case that says that, despite a contract giving one party the authority to make unilateral changes, such a provision isn't enforceable? It's certainly generally true (in NC and every other state) that a contract...

Concur. "The Club reserves the right, in its discretion, to terminate, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, the Plan and the Rules & Regulations, . . . [and] to recall any Membership at any time for any or no reason whatsoever, . . . and to make any other changes in the terms and...

You already have a judgment, so just enforce it. Given the small amount of your judgment, you aren't going to find an attorney to do it on contingency, and paying a lawyer's hourly rate isn't practical.

The surviving husband (you?) should contact the clerk of the court and ask.

Again: I suggest getting in front of this by having a sit down with all of your firm's shareholders/"partners" and an attorney. It also seems like you may have some issues with your father not acting in the firm's best interests. If so, that's a separate legal issue about which you...

This seems to be saying two different things. Taking time off to provide for your wife's care is certainly covered by FMLA. However, I don't understand the first part of this sentence. Visiting her family members isn't something that's going to be covered. DISREGARD...I misread. @cbg will...

You didn't say whether the letter you received came from the client or a lawyer. If it's the former, I suggest getting in front of this by having a sit down with all of your firm's shareholders/"partners" and an attorney. If it's the latter, then there is even more urgency.

Just FYI, misappropriation is more than malpractice. Malpractice is negligence. Misappropriation is the civil analog of theft. By the way, assuming that the real claim is misappropriation, the reason to throw in malpractice is to get your insurance involved. Insurance will cover negligence...

Unless you can compose that post in something that better resembles coherent English, I can only suggest that you seek advice from an immigration attorney.
