Q. If someone put my car at a self storage facility without my permission & didn't pay the bill, can I go take my car back?
A: Attorney Mandel have you great advice. I will only add that you should file an identity theft report with the police and on ftc.gov so that you have take. Steps to dispute whatever your sister signed you up for (now known and also things you are yet to discover). Also if you did not give your sister permission to drive/ use/ move your car then you could file a theft police report against her as well.
Q. A contractor won't honor their own promo. What can I do?
A: This will be difficult and expensive to litigate. Without actual damages you may not be able to pursue the case at all. If the ad is a mistake on their end and they admit and apologize for the mistake, and you have no damages, the court is likely to excuse their mistake. I’m not sure you’ll be able to find a lawyer willing to take this on without you spending money out of pocket without a guarantee of return.
Q. Will a revocable living trust help with a reverse mortgage in CA?
A: You need to consult with an estate planning attorney regarding a revocable living trust if you want any chance to avoid probate and not have the property tied up in probate court while you try to refinance out of a reverse mortgage. The cost of hiring an estate planning attorney now will almost always be cheaper than having to hire a probate attorney later.
