answered on May 26, 2022
If you are a beneficiary of this estate, you should hire a lawyer to fight such an after-the-fact “amendment” to the will. The concept of amending a will after it has been admitted to probate is so outrageous that I laughed at the above statement. If a lawyer really said this, all I can think... Read more »
I learned from the tenant in the apartment that when it rains bad water runs down his wall from ceiling to floor inside the apartment
answered on May 9, 2022
The short answer is yes, the seller is supposed to complete a Property Disclosure form, which the seller provides to prospective buyers, and that form should contain information about this water issue (assuming it is accurate).
My conditions are no use or possession of marijuana, alcohol, or illegal drugs. But if I have a medical card wouldn't that potentially make me able to smoke marijuana almost like a perscription
answered on Apr 14, 2022
If the deferred disposition says no marijuana, you would be in violation of the agreement if you had marijuana. You can ask the court to amend the conditions to remove this because you have a medical card.

A Maine attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This looks like something where the more immediate guidance needed might be that of a medical professional more so than that of an attorney.

I am an up and coming musician. A company reached out giving me the opportunity to work on a song for them. Would signing the “Name and Likeness agreement” give them the rights to all of my music and branding or just for this one song?

Your question does not contain sufficient facts to provide a complete answer. That said, it sounds like the seller may have breached his or her contract with you and you would be entitled, at least, to a refund of what you paid to the seller. In a conventional breach of contract situation, the most... Read more »
I am planning on selling my house in the near future. I have a poor relationship with my neighbors but they would like to get their hands on my property. I want to ensure they cannot buy my property in any way.

Landlord wants to put up brokers marketing sign in our lease space before our lease term expires. Lease does not have the provision that landlord can enter and put up the sign. Can tenant withhold rent payment or charge landlord for usage of leased property (window) for advertising?

It is generally standard for a commercial lease to contain a provision allowing a landlord to do this under certain... Read more »
My copy still has the old dates of 11/1/20 to 11/1/2021. They just had me resign but didn’t change any of the dates and it’s 15 days early.. is my lease good or does it technically not start yet?
answered on Oct 21, 2021
This question is difficult to answer properly without seeing the lease, but in general, the answer will depend on the intent of the parties in resigning the lease. If you both resigned the lease with the intent to extend the term for the same period, i.e. another year, then your current lease will... Read more »

My understanding is that small claim court limit is much less than that in Maine. Do I need a lawyer? How much does it roughly cost?
answered on Oct 13, 2021
You are correct about small claims court – the limit is $6,000. If the landlord is an entity, then the general rule is the entity needs to be represented in court by an attorney (it cannot represent itself). If the landlord is a natural person, he or she can represent themselves in court,... Read more »
