She won’t sign for me to refinance. I am the main person on the loan and she’s a co-signer. I don’t want her on my loan.

When you add someone to the title of your home, you have given them partial ownership. If you did not specify how much ownership on the deed, then everyone listed on the deed has an equal share. In a lawsuit started by either party, the home could be forced to be sold and the proceeds divided... Read more »
Removed all contents and closes safety deposit box account out. Which included an original copy of a amended will and vehicle title. The following day, the suspended executor transferred vehicle title from the descendants name into his, providing the DMV with the same invalid court docs.

Since you didn't ask a question, I'm not sure what you need. The facts sound horrible and the executor can easily have a judgment entered against him. I don't understand why there is a codicil to a will still floating around when the court had already issued Letters Textamentary to... Read more »

Maryland law allows for minors to hold funds in special accounts under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act. Such accounts have the minor's name PLUS an adult "custodian" who acts on behalf of the minor until they reach majority. The funds belong to the minor but the adult can make... Read more »

The "person whom the money was stolen from" would be the victim. The money, if cash, is (after possibly being used in the trial as evidence) would go back to the victim. If the money was used to purchase something, that too is seized, sold, and the proceeds perhaps returned to the... Read more »

The Will must be probated, and the court must appoint the personal representatives (executors/executrix in Virginia) before they have any power at all. If the bank account is not a probate asset. like an account in which a beneficiary is named or a joint account that was not created for the benefit... Read more »

This could be something that a collection defense attorney would be able to advise best on. All the categories you chose make good sense, but you await a response for four weeks. You could try reposting and adding Collection as a category. Not all posts are picked up, but you'd probably have... Read more »
Can his family keep that money or does it have to be returned?

I am very sorry for your loss and the passing of your friend. Based on the information that you have provided it would appear that the money was officially his. It is likely that these monies and other issues may need to be addressed with and through a probate and you will likely need to find and... Read more »
Me and my ex recently divorced. Papers haven’t been signed but judge ruled. We still have a joint account, which the stimulus was deposited into. My ex transferred the entire amount to his own account and left me with nothing.

What do the "papers" provide for with respect to the joint account?
In 2009 the company moved us across the country to Iowa to take over that state due to the financial crisis 2008/2009.
Since then my Husband has tried for 7 employment opportunities within the company , out of the state Iowa . He has been let down 7 times. Not because of his ability, but... Read more »

Unfortunately, your post was placed in a California Q&A board, but you are going to have to get guidance from an Iowa attorney. I would suggest your husband locate and consult with an Iowa employment law attorney to discuss his issues.
Good luck to you.
My bank paid a $50,000 auto loan to a fraudulent dealer. The money was misdirected to a different business name that I did not authorize. My bank has told me that no fraud occurred and that I should pay the loan anyway. I believe that the bank has mishandled the transaction and did not perform the... Read more »

This is not a quick answer by any means. This would require that you consult with and likely hire the lawyer to review all the documents and facts to determine your legal rights and options. Feel free to schedule an appointment to discuss in detail.
Account type is a savings account. Only my daughter and my late wife are listed on the account. Daughter’s name is listed first and daughter treated as owner for interest income reporting. We are in State of MO and daughter is now 20. Bank telling her that they can’t give her any info or answer... Read more »

It will depend on how their names are listed on the account. Things as simple as “and” and “or” can make a big difference. It is worth a brief conference with an attorney to determine your daughter’s rights to the account, especially if it can avoid the necessity of filing probate.

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Some GENERAL considerations could include permissible billing methods/fee schedules/fee caps, disclosures, disclaimers, and how Georgia governs/limits agents (attorney or non-attorney) handling such activities.

For example in this instance, the person filling out the application for the card put the card in their child's name (their child is a minor and not allowed to have a card of his own) and in their social security number. The card is connected to the child's bank account and the rest of... Read more »

As a general matter, it could violate fraud laws involving financial institutions, in addition to violating terms of service and conditions for the card. It would probably be better for the adult to find a credit card company that offers the option to take out an additional card for a family member... Read more »
She called me while I was at work and asked if I wanted another credit card. I told her no as I already have 3 personal credit cards and don’t want anymore. When I got home she told me she signed up for the card but didn’t put my name down. The bank account was in my name and which she used to... Read more »

It depends on a lot of things. The wording of your decree regarding debt, the timing of the purchases, and whether it is a debit or credit card. I wish I could help you more, but I would hire an attorney to help you clear it up.

An Oregon attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. But as a general note, "abandonment" is a broad term and needs more context. Abandonment can arise in a number of scenarios, whether in shameful settings, as in children, spouses, or pets, or in more... Read more »
I’m a servicemember who was told he did not qualify for Louisiana Statute 29:312 due to my loan being a signature loan.

It appears you were mislead by whomever told you the law doesn't apply to a signature loan. Recommend you consult with the Legal Assistance Office (part of JAG) at whatever installation to which you're assigned to get personal legal consult, advice and representation. Good luck.
Please give a common number for outbroad number

The customer service representatives at PayPal (possibly together with those at Master Card or Visa) would probably be more knowledgeable about this, since it would involve the company's own standard operating procedures. Most attorneys would not be familiar with this as general information.... Read more »
