I don't know the specifics of Connecticut law and whether you are entitled to a final accounting. Are you an heir? And when did your cousin die? Perhaps the executor is not required to render a final accounting for some time yet. If so, you might still be able to have access to an interim or...

What you want to prove is not a verbal partnership but a verbal partnership agreement. As far as I know, Colorado has not enacted rules of evidence requiring partnerships to be proven by written agreements. Of course, I'm not a Colorado attorney. :) However, in absence of a written agreement...

If you have resided in Minnesota for 180 days, and you have lived separate and apart for 180 days, you file for divorce. You get an order allowing you to serve him by substitute means - typically by serving his parents or something similar. He doesn't contest, you take your divorce order.

You get the neighbour's permission to enter the property to cut the trees. Since they are demanding you cut the trees, it should be forthcoming. And you don't break anything while you're there.

The estate of the deceased still retains legal title to the lands, and still has equity in the lands until the land contracts are paid off. That is real property. The income on the contract is personal property, but it might have some kind of peculiar standing since what it really represents...

Not necessarily, and if the conservator was not also power of attorney for the person that was being taken care of, they may not have had the power to pay the person's bills anyways. What were the terms of the order appointing the conservator?

I don't think you will succeed in obtaining either of the orders you mention above. The first, for the reasons jharris gives - if his suit is crap, it will be patently evident, but it is premature at this point to apply for a dismissal. It also would be inappropriate to make such an...

You spent thousands getting your conviction set aside - I presume you had a lawyer working for you. What does he or she say to this new wrinkle? Is the offense you were convicted of one of the designated offenses under MCL 28.722? Did you make it clear to him or her that your goal was to have...

You don't need to go anywhere from here. Your insurance company is handling it; let them do their job.

I'm not aware of any place that bars lawyers from representing people in small claims court. If people want to throw big money at small problems they're entitled. I am aware of court rules that require small claims parties to personally attend in some matters, mostly to facilitate settlement.

A motion for what? Assuming you want the evidence barred, and bearing in mind I don't know civil procedure in your jurisdiction and that your terminology may vary, what you probably want to do is demand his list of documents (i.e. the evidence he will rely on) and give notice to produce...

That's what we're talking about. They tend to be called "examinations" in Canada - examinations for discovery, examinations in aid of execution, etc. I understand they fulfill similar roles in the judicial system.

I am loathe to second-guess your lawyer. He's the expert on California law, not me. Ask him to explain his answer, and if you can't get an explanation that makes sense to you, look around for a different lawyer.

Considering you're posting in the small claims forum, it looks like you already know the answer. Sue the person or company you contracted with in small claims court. If they try to plead that they're not liable because "each court is responsible for paying its own bills", ask them how it is...

There's only ever one valid will - whichever will was executed last and meets the formal criteria of validity. If your aunt has two will, one of 'em isn't valid. If the estate was less than $25,000, it may not need to have been probated. How can i tell if it is not valid. And if it has...

A court reporting service is someone who writes down the questions someone (usually a lawyer) asks you and the answers you give, for use in court or to prepare for trial. What exactly you will be expected to do, and what happens if you don't attend, depends on what your "invitation" says...

You could hire a process server or bailiff to deliver it to them.

Absolutely. They could apply to the court for an order for partition and sale. Depending on the laws in your jursidiction (the "Partition of Property Act" or similar), they may be able to force this through even against the wishes of the two that don't want to sell. Absolutely. You can send...

Nope. Tell him if you can't agree on a fee, you'll have his bill taxed or whatever term you use in your jurisdiction - this is where you take it to an officer of the court and they decide what's fair. Doubtful. Lawyers often write off part of their fees and use that as a tactic to elicit...

What do you mean by "marital cash"? Anything that was held by the two as community property or joint property with right of survivorship passes 100% to your mom's estate. How do the lawyers explain their answers?
