Definitely not a breach of contract. You were still haggling over price etc. so there was no contract in place. Unless you had an option to purchase, a right of first refusal, something like that, you have no suit against your brother.

No to both. If there is a conflict, as jharris said above, it lies in the fact that the attorney had been retained by you in the past and is now acting adverse to your interests. I think its arguable whether or not he is acting adverse to your interests, because the harm you allege is...

He's a Canadian, he's entitled to work in Canada and to enter the country freely. You never know with border security, he might get a hard time, but they can't keep him out of his country. I expect he might have more problems getting back into the US every day.

I've heard some dumb landlord stories but this is something else. Now that she knows, I presume she proposes to pay you back the extra utilities charges you incurred and reduce your rent in the future by the amount being leeched, correct? I'm not sure of the law in Texas, but where I come from...

I don't know the specific law in Minnesota, but under general principles, yes. It is the nature of the beast that partners are liable for the debts of the partnership, whether or not they have given personal guarantees. Whether it is equal liability depends on the circumstances, but liabilty...

You might not get out of it; they might sue for specific performance and you would be forced to fulfill the contract. If not, you would certainly be subject to damages. The realtors commissions, their out of pocket expenses and cost of them finding alternate housing for sure. Maybe other...

I don't think there are any experts in UK employment law here. If you are a union member, talk to your union rep. Otherwise, try talking to ACAS (the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service) and your local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), which provide free employment advice. As I...

jharris is a good guy and gave correct advice. I wouldn't take the "line your pockets" comment personally.

Yes. No. No. The truck is already part of the estate. Creditors have first dibs on it. If it does not need to be sold to pay off creditors, you can use the form to transfer it to yourself or whatever beneficiary it should go to. I'm not familiar with the form, but that is far more likely...

I doubt they broke any laws. People, even lawyers, are allowed to sell and buy property. And unless you had a right of first refusal or something else, you probably have no recourse. Do you think his attorney was conflicted out of dealing with the property? Why? Even if he did, so what...

I suspect you will need more than that. Just because she never talks about it doesn't mean she didn't intend it. What she actually DID was make him sole beneficiary of her account, and that speaks volumes. I still don't know about elder abuse and would repeat my question: what do you mean...

You say "she made him the full beneficiary of all her assets", and then you later say the will and the trust don't mention anything about him receiving a share of her money. I'm a bit confused. I presume you mean she put him on her bank accounts as joint holder with right of survivorship or...

What does "U/A" stand for, and what do you think is the significance of whether the trust or trustee is listed first? Where I come from, it is rare for a trust instrument to be titled with the name of the trustee first. It's almost always only the name of the donor. Back up. He didn't...

Not necessarily. As mightymoose said, only the person hiring you needs to sign it. Privacy would be my guess. Or (less charitably) maybe it's some kind of scam. None, unless it's some kind of scam. Not to say it's a scam, but it's sounding fishy. Your contract should set out how you are to...

I don't see how an action against the tenants could succeed. You'd be arguing that the tenants were obliged to approve your development within some specific time frame. Unless there was some side deal to that effect, the tenants have rights under their leases and can provide or withhold...

No, and no. They approved this loan because you co-signed. That, not the fact that they thought she actually was a student, was their security. You can file a police report, but that will not get you removed from the loan. You can only be removed with the consent of the lender or by court...

He can keep putting it off as long as the court keeps letting him, which means, basically, as long as he has good reason. At some point, even if he HAS good reason, the court will get fed up. The next time you set a court date, make sure the judge knows the history of the matter, and ask to...

Here is how it works. IF he attempted to will something to his wife and she is already deceased, that gift fails. It passes to the residue of his estate. The residue is whatever is left over after all specific gifts are distributed. Since the attempted gift of his entire estate to his wife...

I already got that. What you need to know is what the will says happens if that person is already deceased (or if it says anything at all about it). It might be easier if you just post the entire contents of the will.

That's one of the costs of doing business. That's something you agreed to, and one of the costs of doing business. On what grounds? Maybe you didn't need to agree to pay them, but you did, so that's one of the costs of doing business. Development is a risky business, and sometimes it doesn't...
