My neighbor is installing a fence and it comes over on my property line. I verbally told him. What do I do?: My neighbor is installing a fence and the fence is coming over onto my property. I told him verbally. Where do I go from here?
Brad’s answer: It's important to object in writing to preserve your rights. Depending on the situation, if the fence sits on your property for long enough, that property could become your neighbor's property. It's important to get legal advice from someone who has litigated these cases. Sitting down with a lawyer for an hour could save a lot of trouble in the future.
Iam a seller and have signed a contract with a buyer. No real estate agent is involved. How can I void this contract?: Are there any ways out of this contract?
Brad’s answer:
The terms of the contract will determine whether you can get out of it. If it was written without the assistance of an attorney, then the chances of you getting out of the contract are probably better. Your options to escape the contract might expire as time passes, so you probably want to meet with a lawyer to discuss soon.

Since my wife was fired, is she entitled to receive the pay for the vacation pay that she has accrued and was never awarded?: My wife has worked for Diamond Resort International in Arizona for about 4 and half years. During that time with this vacation business, her vacations have never been approved in advance - they always waited till it was less than 2 weeks in advance and sometimes days in advance. She made plans to do a training workshop and her boss was informed. My wife paid her deposit for this training that is offered maybe once a year. A week before the training her boss informed here that she would not approve my wife's vacation. Given the importance and money already paid, my wife made the decision to choose the training over her job. She was fired.
Brad’s answer: The short answer to your question is: maybe. Under Arizona law, when an employee is fired, the employee is entitled to any wages, including vacation pay, that had been earned up to that point. Determining whether or not your wife's vacation pay was already earned at the time she was fired will be a little more complicated and will depend a lot on the specific arrangements and contracts she had in place with her employer. Your wife should contact an experienced employment law attorney who will be able to ask the right questions to help her determine whether or not she is entitled to any additional amounts.
