Her most recent fall was yesterday. She's had other falls that she's need stitches for as well.
You would have to provide a lot more information for a personal injury lawyer to be able to make even a preliminary determination. The hard truth is that elderly people fall frequently, without anyone being negligent. There are lawyers who handle a lot of nursing home negligence cases (I'm not... Read more »
I was paying 73% of the extraordinary medical expenses for my kids. On 2 November it was lowered by the court to 54%. My ex sent me a bill on 5 November for September and October medical expenses and said I owed 73% since that was what the percentage was in September and October before it was... Read more »
73%. Look at this way, do you want to be the parent who argues over needed medical treatment for the child and who pays it? If you wind up paying more than you think you "should" focus on the fact your child needed care.
He has 2 grown daughters, and the will does not specify anything. I am in Maryland
It is not possible for any attorney to predict what someone might inherit in the future from a now living former mother-in-law because that person could change their estate planning anytime until they die.
In the event that any property is at some point disbursed in the name of your late... Read more »
I've never held a MD driver's license. However, my license has been "suspended" since 2000. As a result I have $1300 in fines and 8 points. But have never had a license....
I was cited for driving on suspended 01/17/2020. Scheduled for hearing 12/28/2020 due to covid... Read more »
Points only stay active on your driving record for two years from the date of the violation. The MVA sends a notice of suspension or revocation based on point accumulation within any two-year period of 8, 12 or more points, or conviction of certain serious traffic offenses (like DUI). Unless you... Read more »
I am administering the estate for my father-in-law and I was named as the executor in his will. PG County granted me special administrative rights so that we could complete the sale of his house. The house went under contract before he passed and sold after he passed -- his will states that his... Read more »
Your father-in-law became the sole owner of the property when his wife died (assuming, as is normal, he owned the house as "Tenants by the Entireties" with his wife). When he died, ownership of the house immediately vested in the estate, meaning the only person authorized to close on the... Read more »
Our original agreement was to review income every year and adjust but since she has had an increase of $43K from the previous year she does not believe that we should use last years income but a projection of what she will make.
Of course you have a basis, as it is stated in the agreement you both negotiated, signed and bound yourselves to follow. Have a lawyer run the guidelines based on the new income figures, send a demand over to adjust the amount, and if there is a court order currently in effect setting forth the... Read more »
The expungement statute provides that you are absolutely entitled to expunge only after 3 years, but gives the court discretion to grant an expungement earlier for "good cause." So, you will need to file a motion setting forth good reasons why you should get the benefit of an expungement... Read more »
Thank you for answering my last question. The estate is currently closed and has gone through probate and was closed many years ago.The personal representative's lawyer sent a letter certified mail saying that if the heir living in the home does not willingly agree to sell the home as an heir... Read more »
My prior answer stands. The answer depends on whether the estate is open and who is in title on the home. If this is related to the other question I saw in which a probate was closed many years ago in PG County but the house was not transferred, then it may be necessary to reopen the probate to get...

An elderly disabled person is being forced out of his home that he lived in all of his life by the personal representative. The home had been closed with probate many years ago, and it's still closed, but the personal representative has now decided to sell the home after all this time. The... Read more »
Your posting does not provide sufficient information for a reliable response, and I suggest that you review all of the facts with counsel during a consult. If the house is titled to the decedent, and there is an open estate with a qualified PR, there is no need for a complaint for sale in lieu of... Read more »
I would like to please know how unique this situation is where the personal representative went through probate 17 years ago, closed it and now wants to sell the house in 2020 and it is still in closed status. She has filed an updated letter of Administration. She has not taken the deceased... Read more »
It's going to take a bit of time, particularly if the property is in PG County. The quarantine has hit the Recorder of Deeds fairly hard, and the backlog seems to be a couple months on recording. The Register of Wills Offices across the state are closed and documents are being filed by remote.... Read more »
And And Can The Land Be Just Adverse Possession Regardless Of The Buildings Of The Two Campuses.
By “campuses,” I’m going to assume you are referring to the common use of the word referring to the collected buildings of a university, college, or other openly used area of property in which a large community collects for an educational or other purpose. If that is so, then you are there... Read more »
Buyer wants to acquire property to use as an office in Oldtown, MD (Allegany County). The buyer wants to own the property in fee simple. I know that installment contracts give legal title to the seller (vendor) and equitable title to the buyer (vendee). But besides installment contracts, I could... Read more »
I'm not sure what you are asking. An installment sales contract -- or one of another half dozen or so types of documents -- is the contract describing the transfer. It does not transfer title. That is accomplished in a closing. The name of the title recipient is often specified in the... Read more »
She is claiming abandonment when I was in the middle of cleaning and removing my personal items and refuses to remove the lock until final utility bills are paid all final bills have been sent to me under my name and arrangements to pay have been made. Is this legal? Can she hold the process... Read more »
Hi there,
Nope, that's probably not legal. A Landlord is not allowed to hold your items hostage. I would contact an attorney ASAP, as the devil is often in the details.
Good luck!
The Same As Or As In Squatting Or Adverse Possession
Squatting is a slang term for the legal status of Adverse Possession. Anything to do with Trespassing is not Adverse Possession because the Defendant is cognizant that someone else is entitled to exclusive possession of the premises.
In 2008 my home had a lien put against it due to a credit card debt with Citibank. In 2017, I tried to show a bank that I paid off the debt but Citibank has no record of the account. I was still able to get a loan despite the lien but in the future this will still be a problem especially if I... Read more »
In that case, you will likely want to retain an attorney to reach out to the firm on your behalf to see what can be done.

I had to go get medical bills, dr.reports, and contact the insurance company myself they tried for almost a year to settle case that being the insurance company but they could not get nothing from this worthless lawyer.
By statute, a lawyer has a lien for the reasonable time and costs expended on a personal injury claim. That lien will be enforceable against the insurance company, another lawyer who settles the case, and against the client who receives proceeds. The amount of the lien may be challenged. The lawyer...

None of these items alone are illegal. There must be some basis to connect them to illegal drug use. Usually these offenses are supported by evidence of illegal drug residue or proximity to drugs. Chemical analysis is required to prove the residue or alleged drug substance is in fact illegal drugs.... Read more »

Any judge in any county might do so, if that seems to be the only way you’ll get the message and stop driving without a license. The prior two convictions and sentences didn’t send the message. A judge will have to seriously consider that you will not get the message this time either. It’s... Read more »

You're going to need a lawyer in Tennessee, where the seller and horse are located. You, or your principal, may be bound to the purchase of the horse. Why as the agent you took it upon yourself to reimburse out of your own pocket the buyer's money, after the seller had received the... Read more »
