Legal Answers
433 Questions Answered
- Q. How do I as the heir of my Dad claim property for our Aunt who's estate he was executor of?
- A: Someone, probably you, if you are your aunt’s sole heir, would have to be appointed as a “successor executor” of her estate. The correct title is actually “Administrator dbncta,” but it is just a successor. In that capacity the successor would file a claim for unclaimed property.
- Q. My boyfriend and I are on the Deed to our home as Tenants In Common. Is it legal for each of us to have family member(s
- A: Sure, so long as you both agree and you annd your boyfriend are the sole owners of the property.
- Q. Where is State Court In Pennsylvania?
- A: State courts in Pennsylvania are located in the county seat of a county. “Jurisdiction” pertains to the power of a particular court to exercise control over a particular defendant. Ordinarily, the first question is whether a defendant resides in the same county where suit has been filed. Often, the second question is whether, if the defendant does not reside within the same county where suit has been filed, and if the case is an accident case, if the accident occurred in the state of Pennsylvania. If so, any Pennsylvania court has jurisdiction, that is, the ability to accept the case. “Venue,” the second prong of your question, pertains to convenience. Thus, in the second example I gave you, if an accident happened in Lehigh County, and a defendant lived in Northampton County, the venue rules say that, although a court in Pittsburgh could exercise jurisdiction, it would be unfair for a court in Pittsburgh to handle the case because it would be so inconvenient for everyone.
