First and foremost, of course, I do have an attorney representing the Trust, and he will be weighing in on this. I'm just trying to get a jump on it. I am the Successor Trustee for my deceased Aunt's Living Trust. Through the shortcomings of her financial advisor and her credit union, some of...

What needs to be done so that one spouse remains the sole owner of real estate acquired by them, and it does not become marital property? I'll keep it simple for now.

First of all, yes, we have an attorney and he has done quite a lot of work, but I have not been able to find an answer to what I feel should be a simple question: Does the Successor Trustee of a Revocable Living Trust have the right to be informed of the status of financial accounts that had to...

In Missouri, legal documents granting power to conduct real estate transactions must be recorded. So, I take it that would mean Durable General Power of Attorney, and Revocable Living Trusts, so the Attorney-in-Fact and Successor Trustee have the power. What if those original documents were...

First, Yes, we will be consulting an attorney in this matter, but, just for curiosity . . . . would it be appropriate if the attorney who drew up a revocable living trust, healthcare POA and durable general POA for an elderly lady, all of which granted power upon signing to the named...

I have a question that can easily be misunderstood, at least for google. ;) Can a County place an easement on a public County road, one that exists via right-of-way easement? Specifically, the USACE is requiring the County to grant an easement to the owners of a boat dock to access USACE...

I won't go into the problems people have trying to get rid of a timeshare because that is common knowledge. A lot of timeshare weeks are not purchased by contract; they are purchased "resale" from someone who already owns it. Here's my question . . . If a person obtained their timeshare...

Someone comes onto our property (our residence), puts up a ladder (I assume), and unscrews the bulb in our dusk-to-dawn light when we are not there. If they would get injured, can we be held liable? Thanks PS: We have a dusk-to-dawn light because there is a history of people messing with our...

For 20 years or so I have been trying to find definitive information about how to 1.) protect personal assets from litigation, debt collectors and nursing homes, and 2.) avoid probate. Is this a good place to discuss that?

Can a foreigner who stopped paying for a timeshare in Florida be denied entry to the US? (or do they get congratulations? :cool:) TIA

My question is "After an adverse Court decision, can an appellant change their argument (what they were asking for) on appeal? Here's the facts: Our neighbor's house encroaches on our lot by 8 feet. He sued us, asking to have the property line moved over 13.5 feet. We offered to give him the...

First, yes, those involved will seek the assistance of an attorney. But, because I have been around here so long, I am a generally nice guy, and this is such an interesting situation, can we talk about it? Yes, it's in Texas, a community property state. Here goes . . . In 2004, my...

Is there a document that can be recorded to indicate you dispute a land survey? That is the only question I am seeking an answer to at this time, so when a survey is recorded, I can file a document disputing it, if there is such a document. The Situation We have owned our house and lot...

Does law enforcement have an obligation to tell a spouse if or where they are holding their mate?

I have debated posting this because it would be lengthy, but decided to in order to help others. My wife and I are young retirees with seasonal retiree jobs in a major vacation area. We have substantial fixed-income assets, lots of personal assets paid for, and had credit scores of 760 and...

The house in question is DW's deceased grandmother's house, which has been sitting, for sale, for some time. The family next door, or their kids, are buying it. It is being sold as is, as a distressed property, for a price reflecting that. After the house has sat a long time, BIL got two...

Two months ago a friend of mine injured her knee when she was working for a vendor at a car race. It happened in the vendor's sales trailer when the stepstool (the only seating provided) she was sitting on collapsed. The person in charge witnessed it but nothing was done at the time . . . no...

There is a lot involved in this, but here's the nuts and bolts. When we bought our house 12 years ago, we knew that the neighboring house encroaches 8 feet onto our property. The survey we got when we bought our house clearly shows that. Four years after we bought, our friendly...
