I agree that it's broad. An experienced Arizona criminal defense attorney should be able to speak to this. If not, it's a subject for case law research. I don't know about "better" (especially since the penalties, if convicted, will be more severe), and the burden of proof is the same...

That doesn't make sense. A payment made on Sept. 27 would likely be for October.

Take a look at the second column on the first page under "More Information: If the deceased was receiving Social Security benefits." https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10008.pdf

Then...as long as he appears as required, the people who put up this money will get it back. OK. ARS 13-3623(B) provides as follows: "Under circumstances other than those likely to produce death or serious physical injury to a child or vulnerable adult, any person who causes a child . . . to...

You provided new information here, so "adjusterjack" might change his opinion, but I don't agree that it was the decedent's fault. I'd say that the vaguely described events are partly your fault for stepping down from serving as trustee but mostly the fault of the person who became trustee and...

I don't entirely understand #1. In your original post, you told us that the seller sold the truck to someone else (or did I mis-read that?). In any event, option #3 is really: EITHER forget about the money or sue the dealer. Unfortunately, it appears that the most you can sue for in small...

His ex-wife may have accused him. However, if he's been charged with a crime, it was by the district attorney, not his ex. Was this cash bail? Or was a $100k bond posted (which would have a ~$10k premium)? First of all, "we"? Have you also been charged? Second, while it really does no...

That's not true. However, by putting your cousin as a "joint tenant" on the account, you would be giving her the money in the account. Your cousin would have the legal right to walk into the bank and withdraw 100% of the money at any time. Additionally, any creditor who has a judgment against...

Under the circumstances described, what would be the point of you giving the deposit if it were refundable? You wrote that you gave the deposit in exchange for the seller's agreement to "hold" the vehicle (i.e., an agreement not to sell it to someone else). If the deposit were refundable, then...

I agree. However, having litigated a few of these cases, the big hurdle is being able to survive a motion for summary judgment. For the OP's benefit, in this context, a motion for summary judgment would argue that, based on the evidence, the only reasonable verdict would be for the defendant...

You're going to need to confer with an Alabama probate attorney about this. I don't believe anyone from Alabama follows these boards on a regular basis.

TY

Please elaborate. Start by telling us how you know the case exists if you were never served. Does your use of the word "properly" mean you actually were served but that there were some defect in the service? If so, please explain. Maybe. Depends on the relevant facts. Obviously, if you...

OK...then seek out another attorney.

You posted on a board that relates to "Small Claims & Municipal Court." California hasn't had municipal courts for more than a quarter century, so I assume you're in a small claims court in California. Correct? Are you the plaintiff or the defendant? What notices did you not receive? What...
