Attorney answers:
I hit a car like 3 weeks ago and now my insurance needs my authorization to give my policy and address info to third parties why
Why they need your residence is beyond me. Perhaps you can authorize the release of your policy limits, but don't give out your address to anyone unless there is a compelling reason I'm not aware of. Best of luck.

Attorney answers:
Possible personal injury lawsuit.
I used to work as a defense attorney for the insurance companies for many years. The answer to this question may be complicated, but in general, if your insurance company has the chance to settle within your limits but chooses not it, then it's their decision and any excess judgment will be paid by them since they are the ones who chose to gamble. You may want to consult with an attorney to watch over your insurance company and make sure they are doing right by you.

Attorney answers:
What should i do if i ate a danish with a roach in it
I think there is a public perception out there that just because something bad happened, then they may be entitled to something. This was truly an unfortunate incident, but without actual damages, it will be an uphill climb. Some people think they are entitled to recover as a way to "punish" the othery party. However, that is known as punitive damages....damages designed to punish the wrongful party. Obtaining punitive damages is very hard to do because you generally have to prove the other...

Attorney answers:
Legal guardian ship for Mother
In all likelihood, you will need to find a lawyer in Michigan to challenge your sister since she's technically in charge. You will probably have to convice the judge your sister is not fit for the job and/or it's not best for your mother. This may be an uphill battle. The fact your sister was appointed in the first place means your mother probably is not able to care for herself. If that is the case, any recent video tape or audio may not hold much water. Nevertheless, you should consult...

What factors contribute to liabilty in a wrongful death suit?
There are too many unknowns here, but in California, we have the notion of "comparative negligence" which means that victims of accidents may be found partly at fault for an accident. Their recovery would be reduced by the amount of fault attributed to them. What percentage that is remains to be seen. If someone is not wearing a seatbelt, AND such failure contributed to the injury, then their recovery might be reduced due to that fact.

Attorney answers:
What is an average charge, cost or price to prepare an accounting for a Trust to comply with the Calif. Probate Code 16061?
If there are going to be direct distributions in the near future, perhaps you can get by without doing an accounting. You don't always have to do a "formal" accounting. Of course, that generally depends on agreement by the beneficiaries. Whatever you do, make sure you protect yourself. If you choose to do a formal accounting, it is very difficult to forecast how much it will cost to prepare one without knowing all the details. One financial institution can make things very difficult when...

Attorney answers:
What are the statutory fee for an estate worth selling for $625K?
Not sure what you mean by "worth selling" but in California, probate fees are 4% of the first $100,000, 3% of the second $100,000, and then 2% of each $100,000 thereafter. The executor or administrator is general allowed the fee as well. Therefore, it would be about $15,000 in attorney fees and the same for the executor/administrator. That assumes the estate is not upside-down in value. There are also filing fees to consider. There is a schedule of fees available through www....

Attorney answers:
Do I need a "Deed" if property has been probated?
Have you tried showing the lender the order? If the order clearlly conveys title to you, then you might be ok. After all, it is an order signed by a judge. Many lenders are making life very difficult of people by requiring you to walk on water and heal the sick before extending a loan! Good luck!

Is it ethical for law offices to use "ambulance chasers" to generate clients from car accidents?
Never OK. There are those who engage in such practices, but eventually they get caught and jailed. My license means too much to me. Robert Mansour http://www.ValenciaLawyer.com

Wills and Trusts in California
In general, no. Validity of either document does not hinge on whether or not they are filed with the court or county.
