I have to say, I find your reaction quite odd. I do appreciate your feedback; that’s why I’m here. I simply asked for insight based solely on the few select scenarios I posted. I don’t have a product, and as such, I’m certainly not paying for an attorney’s opinion on the subject. This is a...

Thanks, adjusterjack. Now I’m really confused. I actually did speak with an attorney who is a Law Professor about this very subject. Granted, the conversation was casual and very brief. When talking with him, I used the go-to example of “Deep Fried Oreos”. He claimed that calling them “Deep...

We’ve all been to the Mom & Pop establishment that offers an “Oreo milkshake” on their menu. Or, the food truck at the local Fair that sells “deep fried Oreos”. Or, maybe even the seller’s on Etsy and eBay that sell home-bagged “crushed Oreos”. Are these simply three examples of small-timers not...

What is the name of your state? PA My brother has a real estate wholesaling company. He has a house under contract (fully executed purchase agreement), but the seller is now saying they’re not going to sell it to him. I don’t think he’s wanting to go through the hoops/expense of hiring an...

I was notified via email. It’s a very large company, too, so their bankruptcy was very public & in the news.

What is the name of your state? PA I recently sued a large NY-based company in a PA small claims court. A mere three days after I filed, the company announced Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I figured, “Oh, well. now I’m out my filing fee AND what they owe me!”. To my surprise, though, a month later I...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA If my father adds me to his bank accounts making them joint accounts, will the funds from these accounts be excluded from probate?

New York I have a judgment that I'm looking to assign to someone, but I'm not sure what I have to do. Is there some sort of form that I need to file with the court? The person I'm assigning the judgment to will be attempting to wage garnish the judgment debtor, so I assume the judgment should...

Ohio 1. Can you be wage garnished for a credit card debt judgment in the State of Ohio? And, if so...... 2. When a credit card debt judgment is "assigned" in Ohio, is the new assignee able to wage garnish under their own name, or do they have to do it under the original creditor's name? Or...

PA *******Sorry for the length of this post!******** A non-profit entity that has been using the name "Company X" since 2003 has announced that it was "closing its doors" and would be filing articles of Dissolution in Massachusetts. The fact is that the "Company X" name was never legally...

Pennsylvania Jane Doe's will says the following: I give the residue of my estate, real and personal, to my oldest and dearest friend, Mary, if she survives me; if not, then to her husband, Larry. Mary dies, predeceasing Jane. A year later, Larry dies (also predeceasing Jane). What happens to...

Pennsylvania Debts of decedent are deductible for PA Inheritance tax purposes. We had to file last five years 1040s and pay taxes which are deductible, I believe. We now have to file Form 1041 (the income tax return for the year he died-2004) and have large IRA which is taxable on the 1041...

I am the residual beneficiary in the will of a deceased whose assets have not all been accounted for. His Power of Attorney did nothing to try to find out where the money is. When he died, the deceased was declared to have $400,000 in stocks/investments and a single checking account with $4,000...
