- Q. Seeking legal advice on managing inherited property in Florida with heir issues.
- A: At this point, you should strongly consider retaining a probate attorney to determine your rights and the current status of the property. Under Florida law (and in most states), the "intention" of the testator—when expressed through precatory language, such as "I grant this land wishing that it is kept for my children and their heirs for generations"—is not legally binding. Once the heirs receive the property, they are free to dispose of it as they see fit.
Additionally, Florida law does not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. A probate attorney can evaluate whether the inclusion of the "illegitimate" child is legally proper and advise ... Read More
- Q. I wanted to know if i can apply for SIJS
- A: Yes, you may be eligible to apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) in California if you meet certain criteria. Under California law, SIJS is available to individuals under 21 years old who have been declared dependent by a juvenile court, or placed under the custody of an individual or entity due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment by one or both parents. The court must also determine that it is not in your best interest to return to your home country.
In California, the process for applying for SIJS begins with filing a petition in the juvenile court, where you must request findings that you have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents and that it is not in your ... Read More
- Q. I'm trying to figure out how to file a motion to Oppose/Object a Motion for Summary judgement.
- A: In Florida, to oppose the Motion for Summary Judgment, you should file a written response detailing the new evidence you discovered from the surveillance footage. Explain that the video now shows how the spill occurred and how long it was on the floor, which creates a genuine issue of material fact. Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.510(c) governs summary judgments. You should attach an affidavit or declaration explaining the facts, and you may request a hearing. Since time is critical, consider consulting an attorney to ensure the response is properly filed.
Best of luck, and I hope everything goes well.
