the breeder said it was a purebred with no papers. We bought a dna test and turns out he is half german shepherd. He is five months.
Theoretically, there is a breach of contract case assuming you have the evidence to prove the breach. If there is a contract stating you purchased a purebred for x price, then there is a breach of contract. Normally, the remedy is to return the dog and get your money back.
She owns 3 other adult foster homes and is very understaffed, she has asked me to work 7 consecutive 24 hour shifts I do get to sleep during the night though. I get paid $200 per 24 hour shift and while I would just quit there would be no one to cover my shifts and I can’t leave the residents... Read more »
Hi, she can ask you to do that, yes. I think there is a minimum wage issue here that you may not realize. $200 divided by 24 hours = $8.33 per hour. It looks like Washington state's minimum wage is $12.00 per hour. I would reach out to an employment law attorney for a consultation if you are... Read more »

Yes, generally speaking a landlord can require a tenant to sign a new lease with proper notice. Many of the changes are likely possible anyway if the landlord issues them as Rules and Regulations with proper notice. Whether smoking changes is material enough to avoid being changed in a Rules and... Read more »
My mom has a lot of bills, taxes, obligations, etc. that are piling up w/late charges. It does not make sense to let it go on and on. Can a court force him to file quickly? Or can I or one of my siblings' file for probate and disregard him? He was named executor in her will, but not by the court.
Assuming there are assets in your mother's name alone that require probate, you could hire an attorney to send a demand letter to the nominated Personal Representative. If that didn't work you could send a demand letter to the second person nominated in the Will. It is also possible to... Read more »
How long does the same yet to be appointed executor have (in Oregon) to distribute copies of the will to her heirs?
There is no time requirements on filing a probate after a person dies. If the decedent owned real property then the nominated Personal Representative (this is what Oregon calls the Executor) should probably file the probate quickly so that they have legal authority to deal with the property. Once... Read more »

I live in OR, and I'm going through my first divorce - short-lived marriage, no dependents, etc.

You pose an interesting, and all too common set of issues. If you are in accident caused by someone's negligence, and do not have auto insurance, then you are entitled to recovery your monetary damages (for example, medical bills, lost wages, property loss). In other words, you cannot recover... Read more »
Court says must attach death cert. Can't get one. No will, There's no probate, no executer no nothing. Heirs won't do anything.
I assume you are trying to file a Small Estate Affidavit. You can do this as a creditor but you will need to order the decedent's Death Certificate. You can do so directly from the county or try this website: https://www.vitalchek.com/death-certificates
You would only file a Small... Read more »
His children are not handling the small estate and refuse to communicate. I've made several attempts to contact his children to discuss the matter but have gotten no response. The oldest son is actually an attorney in portland and it shocking that he would bury his father ,I believe, unlawfully .
Oregon law does actually allow a person to bury a family member on their property if certain requirements have been met. A small estate would be required if your boyfriend owned assets in his name alone at his death and those assets totaled less than $75,000 of personal property and/or $200,000 of... Read more »
Or is that a conflict of Intereat
A creditor can be appointed Personal Representative but they would first have to send notice to the people who have priority according to Oregon law. Usually this is the immediate family. An experienced probate attorney can help you with this.
Possibly yes, with proper notice etc (assuming you own the property of course) but you cannot even issue the mandatory 90 day advanced notice until after the Covid-19 emergency is officially declared over in Oregon. Thank you Governor Brown.

Much depends upon the exact details of what the mutual understanding was at the time. At the time you paid the property taxes, was it structured as a loan? What were the re-payment terms? Interest? Or was it a gift at the time or simply not discussed? Are you seeking reimbursement for expenses... Read more »
Yes. If the deceased person has a valid Will then the person named in the Will as the Personal Representative (executor) has priority to act. Here is the priority statute for Oregon: https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/113.085

Denial of your unemployment is up to the state, and given the facts above you should or should have appealed any denial.
As to the payout, they may or may not be required to pay you out on your vacation time. However, if you file a complaint with BOLI over the unsafe workplace, your former... Read more »
We're on a month to month term and the landlords have already put the house up for sale and have given us no notice. Where do we, as tenants, go from here? Do they have to pay us relocation assistance?
No, no fee and no notice required. Nothing changes except who you pay your rent to (they will have to give you notice of that when the time comes). If the buyer wants to use your dwelling as their own primary residence, then the seller has to give you at least 90 days advanced notice and copies of... Read more »

ORS 811.700 is a Class A Misdemeanor. If you hit a parked car, you are required to wait for (or, locate) the owner to... Read more »

A patent attorney can do a patentability search to determine if your fotware is novel and non-obvious. If the search shows that your footware design is novel, the patent attorney should prepare and file a patent application for your invention. Once the application is filed, you may talk to...
