Then she predeceased him. His estate does not go to her. Exactly what happens to it depends on his will. What exactly does that say?

Who died first? Do the wills say anything about the surviving spouse having to survive the deceased by more than x days? Was that condition met? Do the wills provide for residual beneficiaries (i.e. somebody who takes any inheritance that is left over)? Without knowing the details, I would...

I read it the same way as moose. She doesn't HAVE to accept credit, all other things being equal, but the contract says you have the option of paying by credit or in cash and she's bound by that. If you want to be a stickler about it, offer her your credit, and tell her if she refuses to...

What he's liable for and what he owes is all governed by your contract. The rent-to-owns I'm familiar with, any damage to the house from the break-in might come out of his damage deposit but more likely will be a cost that you eat. He doesn't "owe" anything for breaking the term, but he...

Without knowing all the details it is impossible to say whether he is doing anything improper. Frankly I'm not optimistic - competition is encouraged. A few possibilities come to mind (maybe an implied non-compete, maybe a breach of a duty of good faith) but you need to talk to a lawyer.

One may have other motives for entering law school besides the desire to be a lawyer (although it seems both of the above posters did indeed want to be lawyers). I know a number of LL.B's (or JD's or whatever degree your jurisdiction uses) who have not attempted to take the bar exam but have...

They can try, but the chances are slim. The general rule is joint property doesn't form part of the estate but passes directly to the other joint owner. But maybe this was joint with no right of survivorship, or maybe the heirs can show that the right of survivorship should not apply despite...

Your easiest way is to get in touch with the executor and ask them for a copy of the will. Find out from one of your relatives who the executor is. Failing that, contact the courthouse nearest to where he died to see if his will has been submitted for probate. I've never heard of one being...

A non-compete is a part of the contract that says after he sells you the bar he won't open up a competing business next door (or within a reasonable distance). If you didn't get one, you might be screwed. Maybe a non-compete would be implied (it's not written, but you orally agreed to it and...

Well this is nice. :)

Do you have a legal question? Sounds like you think he is breaching your contract - but unless you have a non-compete, maybe he's not. Sounds like you think there's some unfair competition, but it's not clear why - bars are notoriously cutthroat. Why does he get it back if you fail? What...

http://www.thelaw.com/forums/tags.php?tag=fitness I don't know if your particular question will be addressed there, but it's a start. Considering you signed on for 36 months, Bally's might be entitled to hold you to your agreement. You will be in the position of having to show that they...

Do a search of this site for Bally's or "fitness club" - this issue has come up MANY times.

Sibling permission isn't required - it's not your house yet. She can't sell the house without HIS permission. How do you know it's an ample amount? If you are correct, how does your sister reconcile that with her statement that she needs to sell the house to support him?

You might. What is it that says it is to be split up between you and your siblings?

In response to your substantive questions in your original post, moose answered those as best as they're going to get answered on this forum. The details of civil procedure vary from one jurisdiction to the next. No-one here is an expert in the rules and legal niceties of your particular...

I'm not sure I agree that the policy only excludes rust arising from pre-existing condition or negligence - the words themselves do not say that, although I agree the clause as a whole tends to lean that way. If you want to pursue this, you're already on the right track. Tell the warranty...

What that tells me is that you may have some sort of relationship over and above simply lessor/lessee. Maybe they're not strictly speaking trying to alter the terms of your lease; maybe their imposing (or enforcing) the terms of your membership in the Lodge. So the answer to your question...

As I understand your story, yes, that is correct. The valid will is likely the 1981 will that does not name him as executor. However: This sounds like maybe you were all mistaken and thought he was executor, and he's done something that has in fact benefited the real executor of the estate...

That's a tricky question, because maybe they don't have to pay. The policy pretty clearly excludes appliances that require repair or replacement due to corrosion and rust. Your appliance requires repair or replacement due to corrosion on the electrodes. Why do you think the insurance company...
