This whole fiasco is from a remodeling job. Out of the 30 years my dad did this type of work he never had a lawsuit. Remodeled her kitchen, she’s nitpicking cabinets not sitting perfectly, but I believe her house wasn’t even level..(should I delete this part? Lol)
Well the good news is, the amount this lady is sueing for isn’t a terrible amount, just shy of 10k I believe. Also, my dads good friend (lawyer) was helping him push back dates and getting all the papers in order, so no owed lawyer fee atm. I’ll know more soon.
Thank you for the condolences.
SEE ARE125 that sounds like a possible route we might take, and pretty clever.. But will definitely look into the legal/interpretation side of things before attempting that. I can get a lawyer to push back dates if it means saving money in the long run.
I’ll find out the court date come Tuesday, but if I remember correctly I think the next court date isn’t until after Christmas..
Borg, that is good to know, I was honestly thinking how fucked that would be if that was the case, glad it’s not. I will find out Tuesday or possibly Monday about the will/trust. I believe the land was left by my grandparents to my father/uncle/aunts in their will (so not exactly sure).
And actually the plaintiff no showed the first court date while my dad did show. She doesn’t have a very strong case either...... but still. She’s a crazy old mexican lady lol the worst to deal with.
GrapeApe, thank you. I will certainly look into that. Ohh alrIght, ya i know what you mean. Damn. Well he he passed 4 days ago, you think the courts will know in the next week or so?
And My dad actually got and signed a vehicle Affidavit of Moto Vehicle Gift Transfer, signed and notarized back in September. You think it’s safe if I go ahead and finish the process putting it in my name? Fuck I should have done this before he passed. (Just found out about this last Thursday tho so can’t be too upset about it.)
No, I don’t think he did have a will, unfortunately
(?), but could be wrong. We lost most our shit 7 years ago, when the market crashed. But I’ll know more Tuesday.
I live in SA.
Your last sentence, “in these situations the probate court can be a more favorable venue for the estate.”, meaning she could win bigger now that there is not real defendant, assuming she continues with the suit?
