I agree with army judge. Get a lawyer. That will not only make the process go more smoothly, it will also give the lawyer an opportunity to discover how the mix up occurred, which would be useful in finding the correct party to sue if you have suffered any damages from this.
Your dog was already dead when you got to the garage. Shooting the other dogs at that point would do nothing for your dog. At that point, the best thing to would have been to call animal control and let them remove the dogs. You could have then later filed the complaint with the cops about the...
The terms of your union contract matter a great deal, too. For example, how does it define seniority? Is it based on your total time in the entire company, your time in a particular division/department, or some blend of each? You may have more total years with the company but it appears that you...
You'd best ask a CA attorney for that answer. What I would say is that if the trustee takes care to follow that instruction so that the trust actually vests or terminates within that 90 period. I can't predict the future and can't say if the trustee 89 years from the date the trust was created...
That's a bit vague. What exactly to you mean when you say you "brought this up" with your union? Did you discuss it with your shop steward and specifically tell that person to you want to formally grieve the issue with the employer? If not, exactly what did you do?
You may file a compliant...
Almost every state (Louisiana being a notable exception) has adopted a rule against perpetuity. But a number of states have modified it from the common law rule that you stated above. California is one of those states. CA has adopted the Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities, which...
You've apparently not dealt with the IRS or the Tax Court on a real property valuation issue. Their long standing approach has been that the closer in time to the transfer that the appraisal is done the more reliable the appraisal is likely to be. Hence the advice by most tax lawyers and other...
Real estate agents are generally a poor source of reliable tax information. Their expertise is primarily in the area of sales, not tax or real estate law.
The first issue is what kind of trust this was. If it was a revocable living trust (which is how most trusts established for estate...
The problem with that advice is that some legally prescribed drugs that are controlled substances are absolutely necessary to the person's health and well being. The term controlled substance does not equal illegal drugs nor does it always indicate the the drug would impair the person's ability...
You put Europe as the location, and these boards only deal with legal issues in the United States. The laws of all European nations are not exactly the same. As the surgery was done is some other unnamed country outside your home country of Turkey, any recourse you'd have would likely be in that...
The way I described is how the tax law & regulations express it, though written in the language of tax law. Unfortunately there's not a no easy way to write it any simpler that would be accurate withhout a lot longer explanations. But an example may help.
The first sentence means that if the...
As far as gift tax for 2024 goes, you must file the gift tax return (Form 709) if you give gifts over the year that total $18,000 to any one person. Thus you may give out gifts to as many people as you want of, say, $17,000 and those gifts do not need to be reported on the gift tax return. Gifts...
I think this will help you sort out what is included. Your agreement makes reference to the limits in the Washington state law that regulates non compete agreements. Revised Code of Washington (RCW) RCW § 49.62.010 provides the definitions of terms used in that law. The full description of the...
Because any issue on which parties do not agree is, by definition, contested. If they are battling over support, then the lawyer has a much harder time predicting just how much work will be needed because he/she does not know how long, how much work, and what expenses to expect before there is a...
I assume the stocks and investments are not stock or other investments in your employer, right?
If that's the case, then the value of those investments are not at issue. Nor would any gain from those investments matter either as those are not "earnings". What's going to count is the total you...
