My mother passed away in 2008 without a will. I had 1 brother and 1 sister at that time. We peacefully divided all of her belongings. Her home had a loan on it and neither of my siblings wanted to assume the loan or fix the home and sell it. They both provided a letter stating they had no interest... Read more »
You will need to hire a competent attorney to determine heirship, as the Mother's heirs probably own the property. Then record an Affidavit of Heirship.

Seems like you would receive better treatment saving a life. When you are on parole, any law enforcement officer may search you, your home, your car, etc. A few years ago, I took the issue of who may search a person to the Arkansas Supreme Court after my client was searched by some police officers...

I would reach out to an employment law attorney in your state if you feel your previous employer provided false information about you to a... Read more »

About 5 years ago, I took this same issue to the Arkansas Supreme Court. The facts sound the same. My client was out on parole and the agreement said his "probation/parole officer" could search my client's home and vehicle. A local officer stopped my guy and searched his car. We... Read more »
The home, in Poinsett County, is not in a safe area and the attorney that wrote the will already told us we need to remove anything valuable and put it in a safe place (people are already breaking in and stealing items).

Power of attorney is the principles sister. She has completely gone above and beyond morally. Principle had surgery to see how far colon cancer has spread, he verbally told his daughter (a roommate) that her aunt will keep them posted about his surgery.

You might have to go to court to have a guardian appointed for this individual. Guardianship will override (revoke) the power of attorney.
Yes but it will take five to six years from the date you were convicted. You could also try to get a pardon which would only take about two years.
Generally speaking, your employer is not required to consult you or give you advance notice before changing your pay structure. However, if you are paid by the hour, you must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a seven-day workweek.
Her parents wont let father see the child nor answer his calls je eas very much involved in the childs life.
Absolutely. In fact, the father is now the custodian. Depending on the facts and circumstances, he can get an order to pick up the child. Lots of issues here but dad may be in the controlling position. The grandparents will probably try to adopt the child or at least get guardianship. Dad needs to... Read more »

Im buying a property with tenants that still have several months left in the previous owners lease agreement. Can I void that agreement with my own, or do I have to honor all the parameters of the previous owners lease?
As the new owner, you will be required to honor the existing lease agreements. Review the existing lease agreements. They may contain language which will enable you to terminate them early. If they don't, then you will likely be required to honor them until the end of the lease term.
Support for our daughter. Can i sue for support for those 2 plus yrs?
In general, no. If you did not ask for past care and support at the time of the divorce when the child support order was put in place, you cannot go back and ask for it now. I would recommend you seek out the services of a family law attorney if there are other circumstances that might that might... Read more »

When I work 84 hours I make less than minimum wage for a 168 hour pay check im getting $1200 but being exempt does this mean that my company is not required to pay me more or give me any compensation when I work through holidays?
Being an exempt employee is a narrow classification under the FLSA. I would recommend you speak to an employment lawyer to discuss your rights under the FLSA. You can contact our office at https://www.pfeiferlawfirm.net/ to discuss this issue further. Thanks
