My friend is between permanent living spaces and is using my address to receive mail temporarily. She just renewed her drivers license online and used my address. Can she damage my credit or access my personal finances in any way now that she is recognized as living here on a NYS document?
It would seem unlikely, without having more sensitive personal information such as social security number, mother's maiden name, or things of that nature that most financial institutions use as safeguards. Additionally, there are certain formalities observed in transferring ownership of a... Read more »
My mom is my landlord and I have a written contract to live at home with “terms subject to change by mom at any point”. I tried smoking weed a long time ago which she didn’t like. I stopped for the most part except for a week ago at a friends. My mom forced me take a random drug test or she... Read more »
If you are no longer a minor, your parents do not have to continue to allow you to reside in their home. However, like any other landlord, there are appropriate legal steps that must be taken before you can be evicted from the property. These legal proceedings generally take many months and as a...

The general rule under contract law is that an offer can be revoked until acceptance. But there's more to it than this basic textbook premise - there can be exceptions and other factors. Good luck

We signed a contract in January, paid a down payment and expected to close 2 weeks ago but the title company wouldn’t release the title until a problem with the pool was fixed. The seller has now resisted the house and is holding an open house on the property today. As of yesterday the title... Read more »
A seller cannot relist if you have a signed contract. However, you would have to sue to stop a sale to someone else.
No one here is likely to know the answer to that, based on the facts at hand. It could depend on the terms of service or any other user agreements. Good luck

My complaint against billion+dollar US/Canadian company was investigated by NYS Dept.Labor:company admitted 'guilt' & Dept. determined 'guilty', fined & penalized. NYS Dept. lead investigator informed me that because company already admitted guilt (IE: violated NYS Mold... Read more »
Hi. That is a very interesting fact pattern. You definitely want to consult with an attorney prior to settling a potential action. We are happy to provide you with a free consultation, as I’m sure many others are as well.
All the best. Stay safe, have a great weekend.

What did the will say would happen to the house? Who is the executor?
What is your question? If your sibling owned the property, there is no requirement that family members be notified of an intended or actual sale.
He has been in her life since she was 10 months old, she’s 11 now. He left us, and she started asking if she had to go as she doesn’t want to.
If there is no court order for visitation then the answer is no.
I got married abroad a year ago and hyphenate my last name with my husband name (Evans-Karalis). Now my foreign passport has my married last name, but the green card, that will expire in 2026, has my maiden name. I have marriage certificate translated in English. Will I have any problems to enter... Read more »
You should carry the marriage certificate with you at the time of travel but you should not have problem because upon your arrival to the US border the CBP officer will take your fingerprint scan and match it to the green card anyways. Best wishes!
Generally no. Other factors may change the answer (any fatality invovled, Class A endorcement or not, etc). Careless driving summons are among the frequently issued tickets in NJ just like reckless driving ones in NY.
If it's in a divorce case, then you'd file an order to show cause for an amended judgment. You'd need to submit an affirmation/affidavit stating the reason for the correction. Schedule a consult with a NYC Family Law attorney for a full assessment.
Can they proceed to sell our house when they have not made our property available to us
If you are a tenant, the landlord does not need your permission to sell the property. The new owner essentially steps into the former owner's shoes with respect to the tenancy.
I am staying with my parents. Can I go rent my own apartment? Can I remove my own personal property from our apartment to take to my new place? Things that were mine before we were married?
You may remove whatever you want but just be aware that if your wife calls the police they will tell you that you have to leave it and work out who gets what in the divorce.
Review the enrollment contract. There could be terms and provisions (or disclaimers) that address such issues. Different schools could have different policies. Good luck

Only if they negligently caused your injuries.
how do I list this property on my schedules
If it is in your name already, you need to pay the liens to keep the condo. You list them as secured debt. If it is not in your name, but will be some day, you list it on the statement of financial affairs.
My beloved father passed away in May of 2020 due to COVID and the house he owned was passed down to my two siblings and I. We all have a room full of personal items. We have all signed a document last year making my sister in charge I believe. I can’t quite remember exactly what the document was... Read more »
Although your question is limited to the items in your room, the real issue seems to be about control of the property your mother previously owned. If your mother died without a will, her New York real property passes to her heirs, which would be her children if she was not survived by her spouse.... Read more »
he's threatening to take it from me but I bought it
I am sorry you are going through this.
Here are a few thoughts, and it is not intended to be an exhaustive list of considerations:
Do you have any receipts or proof of payment(s)?
Are you still paying for the car?
Why did you register it in his name?

I want to know if they are safe for the microwave, or for boiling water! They are not marked at all. Please advise!! Wendy Barber. 607-244-0371
Unfortunately, we aren't likely to know this here. It's something to check with the manufacturer or distributer. And dealing with boiling water, it's something you want to get right for safety reasons. Good luck,
