      Help...property lines...

      I had a similar situation in Florida. I found that my neighbor’s older home was about 2 feet over the line on my property.

      Retirement plans and stock options

She told me that you can make any arguement you want but most courts see...

      Interviewed but no received no reply!

      unfortunate situation I am white and have had the same thing happen to me, so it may not be racial. But having grown up in the Jim Crow south, I can certainly understand your feeling that it might be; and still knowing lots of rednecks unfortunately I know you might be right. I hope not.

      Tendering notice to terminate employment

      If it is any consolation I do think this is a unethical and poor business practice. And one that will come back to haunt the employeer. I once had an employeer who I saw do similar things, letting long term employees go with little or no notice. I decided it was not a place I wanted to work...

      Questionable Building Permit

      follow up Thanks but I need to tell you more. Florida DEP permits are expensive (up to $2500 or maybe more) and their building requirements Draconian. It is possible that the new construction does not meet their standards (this would be for environmental not strutural reasons). Not a can of...

      Questionable Building Permit

      Florida. I recently had over 100k in major rennovations done by a licensed contractor. I do not believe he obtained the proper building permits. In fact during the construction he told me that he did not, and I know something about the requirements and I am fairly sure he did not. This is a...

      Should I have disclosed?

      I recently sold a home in Florida. I believe the home had a structural defect and I did not disclose this to the buyer. I am not sure of the significance of the defect and was not asked about it. The buyer had the right to a structural inspection but did not get one done. I have not heard...
