Question

My sister is holding on to the remainder of my our parents estate, in their account where she is the only co-signature. She, a year ago, said she was keeping $500 for bills and will give it to you in six months if there are no bills. She paid my moms medication bill, assisted living rent and phone/cable bill from our moms trust...she transfered money and wrote checks she mailed. Can she now say she is keeping the money for payment for dealing with the trust...though it amounted to paying a few bills a month?

Answer

Whether her charges for acting as trustee are reasonable and appropriate are subject to review by the court. Contact an attorney specializing in trust and estate matters to assist you about how to have the court do that to protect all trust beneficiaries.

Question

My husband and I have been having marital problems for approximately a year. He has signed a lease with his female friend. The rent agreement was based mainly upon his income. However, now that he wants to leave and return home she will not move out and when he has attempted to get his things to move back to our home. she becomes confrontational. She has threatened to injure herself and call the police on him. We would like to know what legal steps can he take to vacate the premises and lease?

Answer

Your husband should ask a Police officer to accompany him when he retrieves his belongings. This is a common practice, where the other party has threatened physical violence. However, this will not extra care him from his liability on the lease he signed. He will need to have an attorney read his lease to see assess his early termination options.

Good luck

Question

I have been summoned to court for charges regarding interference with law enforcement (giving false information) and two minor traffic infractions. The initial ticket (traffic) was signed and ticketed to "Jane Doe". Within weeks though, I received an arrest warrant with the charges of interference with LEO and the traffic infractions. "Jane Doe" was able to dodge the traffic violations by placing me as the guilty party and was able to do so with little legal action and law enforcement interaction (docs. prints. ID. ect.). Simply by calling and pointing the finger at me. "Jane Doe" is not facing any charges or summons to court or any legal pressure. How can I be so easily accused/charged with no proof of these actions?

Answer

I'm not sure if there were Alias tickets written for Jane Doe, or your use of Jane Doe was to not divulge an actual person's identity. It seems that your ultimate question is "How can I be accused of a crime, based upon the statement by "Jane Doe" that I was the person who committed it?" If the Police believe that a crime or violation has been committed, and a citizen tells them that they saw someone do it, they are likely to pursue that someone. The criminal can do this to try to avoid prosecution. It happens unfortunately too many times. I've seen minor grandsons pursued because their grandfather pointed authorities to them and away from himself.

Being accused or even prosecuted for a crime, does not equate to being found guilty of that crime. The State must still prove its case, unless you fail to defend. You may contact me via email if you wish for legal representation to defend you from these charges. If you do not use my services, I suggest that you consult directly with a criminal defense attorney, long before your hearing date. These conviction could cost you jobs, higher insurance premiums, and/or damage your credit.

Good luck

Question

I purchased a counterfeit item that was sold to me as legitimate. I contacted the seller after I discovered it was counterfeit. He has said he would return my money. That was over two weeks ago. He now will not return phone calls. I have his name and DL number.

What legal action can I take? Can I file and arrest warrant? Thanks for your help.

Answer

You haven't told us what it was, how much it was worth, why you think it's fake, the method of payment, etc, all of which are necessary for an answer. This is probably NOT a criminal matter. Your remedy, depending on the things you chose to omit, could be a small claims lawsuit in magistrate court, hiring a lawyer, doing a credit card chargeback, making a claim on a site like eBay if it was bought there, etc. Not all of those will be your remedy but one may be, should you chose to give details. Some of your remedies have very short time periods.

Question

We are selling land and the person is going to make a down payment, monthly interest payments and then in 7 months will make the final balloon payment. Should I have some legal jargon in place so he doesn't default or do you think the vacant land real estate sale agreement is enough between the seller and buyer?

Answer

If the loan isn't going through a bank, you need to talk with your own attorney before agreeing to a seller finance deal. The "legal jargon" you refer to is what will make it possible to foreclose or declare forfeiture of the contract (depending on how you set this up). Even trustworthy responsible buyers run out of money and purchasers default on loans. This is why there is an entire lending and legal industry set up to deal with such contingencies. Go talk to a real estate attorney, or better yet, get a bank involved with the loan.

Question

Is it legal if you are pulled over because a sheriff ran a parked vehicle license plate in a parking lot and the registered owner popped up as having a warrant and they waited until someone came out of the store who fit the description of the registered owner and upon finding out that they were the registered owner pull them over,arrest them for that warrant without reading them their rights?

Answer

I don't see anything illegal about this. Police are allowed to run the plates of a parked car, even without probable cause. They're also allowed to arrest people who have outstanding warrants.

Arrests are valid whether or not the police read the suspect his Miranda rights. If they fail to do so and then question him while he's in custody, then his answers usually can't be used against him in court. So if the officers didn't question you while you were in custody, then there's no problem. Even if they did, the prosecutors might be able to prove their case against you based on other evidence.

You should get a lawyer right away. If you can't afford a lawyer, the court will appoint one for you.

Good luck.

Question

My son was arrested on May 15th at 00:38am for PC647(F) and

PC853.6(I)(8)with bail set at $5000. He was arraigned on May 17th at 1:00pm. He was offered 3 years probation if pleads guilty. No attorney present! He turned the offer down. So the judge set a Pre-Trial date of May 28th and the charges were changed to PC647(F) and PC148(A)(1) with bail set at $25000. He refused to sign ticket because he was of no danger to anyone or himself and he was not drunk in public. After speaking with him this morning I was informed that there was no drug and alcohol testing done at time of arrest. So how can the original charges and bail change and how can they keep him until the 28th of May?

Answer

Under the speedy trial law, as long as he does not waive time a trial must be set within 30 days of his arraignment. The original charges are those proposed by the police officer. But the DA decides prior to arraignment what charges to bring. At the arraignment the DA file a "Complaint" with the official charges. After arraignment, with the permission of the court, the DA may amend the complaint.

Sadly, some Public Defenders do not staff misdemeanor arraignment courts and the judge may make an offer, usually one that will get minor misdemeanants out of jail that day. But even if it means spending more time in jail I believe your son was right in refusing the offer without first talking to a lawyer.

He should now have an attorney and that attorney may put the case on calendar if it looks like the parties are close to a settlement.

He needs an attorney.

what is a personal guaranty in real estate? It seems to override the note. Is that possible?

Question

what is a personal guaranty in real estate? It seems to override the note. Is that possible?

Answer

A personal guaranty is a promise by someone other than the borrower to repay the debt if if the primary borrower does not. It is somewhat like, but not identical to being a co-signer. The most common situation (though far from the only one) in which a personal guarantee is given is when a closely held corporation, LLC or other business entity is the borrower, which would insulate the owners from liability. In order to give (significantly) greater assurance that the owners will not just walk away from the company if it cannot repay the debt, the lender will require they give a personal guarantee of the debt.
