A court order to examine the bank accounts is probably not possible and may not even be fruitful and may not be the direction you need to go. It's not clear to me, from your posting, whether the policy was taken out on your father's life or on your mother's life. The reason that you did not...

When you get the opportunity, you need to get copies of (or personally look at the documents at the county courthouse surrogate court) the ENTIRE PROBATE FILE so that you can get a complete understanding of how the estate was handled. When you get an attorney you should ask the attorney to ask...

If he died after 1983, you can do a case search yourself on the Los Angeles County Superior Court website at the link below. Just click on the CONTINUE button at the bottom of the webpage, and then click on CONTINUE AS A GUEST. You will probably be doing a one-time lookup by name to see if...

The bank will not release any information about the bank accounts to anyone except the executor. If widow submits the will to county probate court and if she wants to be executor, she is the only won with authority to claim any and all assets. You need to be consulting with a probate attorney...

Why are you and the uncle no longer on speaking terms? Is he a difficult individual to get along with? A phone call to the court clerk's office will NOT get you anything except being brushed off--they will tell you they do not give legal advice and if they gave you the info over the phone that...

Your deliberate vagueness about the industry you work in only confuses the situation more. Explain specifically what industry you work in, please. Is it the casino industry and is the con artist somehow affiliated with the mafia? Did the company pay to have a background check done on the con...

The relative who had POA--how was he/she related to your grandfather? The POA does not know why the bank account had been closed? Did the POA know about this bank account? Is it possible that the wife's name was on this bank account as joint co-owner and possibly she was the one who decided...

Focus right now on getting the copy of the trust.

I assume you mean an "Offer In Compromise". How much did you owe in the beginning? How much do you owe now? Are you a business owner or self-employed or just a regular individual taxpayer? Have you filed for bankruptcy?

What type of company is this? Is it a small business? How many employees do they have? How long have you worked there? How much would the bonus be and how is it calculated?

i have used the postmaster tactic with success--the document was put into the regular mail and processed as usual--its a postal policy. The poster could also ask one or more of the friends who were victims to write the anonymous letter. Hard to see how anyone could anyone be charged with a...

You have made a valiant effort to do research to help you decide what you want. However, no one can really understand what the exact definition or meaning is of what "John Smith's interest in the trust property" is. You do not necessarily need a will AND a trust. It may beneficial for you to...

Do you know what type of trust this is: irrevocable or revocable? As a beneficiary, you had/have the right to request a copy of the trust in Massachusetts and New Hampshire by sending the trustee a written request. You should also ask for a copy of the trust's income tax returns for 2015...

I sympathize with your situation and the topic of chemical sensitivities of co-workers will probably be coming into greater awareness in the future. What would be your idea of a reasonable accomodation or what do you want to happen? For co-workers to be asked to please stop wearing fragrances?

Type up an anonymous letter about this individual and do not sign your name to it. Put it in a self-addressed stamped envelope that will go to the Missouri company (the envelope WILL NOT not show a return address in the left-hand corner). Put that envelope inside a larger, manila envelope and...
