For non married people going in on a house, the best thing may be a trust with a neutral trustee and tenancy guaranteed to the beneficiaries . But then idk how you are getting a mortgage in this situation

More then tenants in a rental agreement as they are beneficiaries of the trust so are quasi landlords in that sense. Idk it’s not a normal arrangement at all The big issue is whenever someone wants out of the set up what do you do. It’s not easy to divide interests in a SFH. With divorce the solution to to buy out the ex spouse or sell the House and equitably distribute the proceeds. This system has a whole statutory scheme tho that is absent in the canine blues scenario euphronius fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Sep 21, 2022 |

To be honest this is a pretty good rule . The only downside is the litigation expense which would be …. Over 10,000$ at least . (Total among the parties ) Rule 1563. Property Not Capable of Division Without Prejudice. Sale. Objections. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Subdivision (b), property not capable of division without prejudice to or spoiling the whole shall be offered for private sale confined to the parties. (b) Parties defendant owning a majority in value of the property may object in writing to any sale, requesting that the property be awarded to them at its valuation fixed by the court and that their interests in the same remain undivided. Upon such request the entire property shall be awarded to the parties objecting to sale, as tenants in common, subject to payment to the parties desiring partition and sale of the amounts of their respective interests based upon the valuation. The amounts due the parties shall be charged as liens upon the property, to be paid in such manner and time as the court shall direct. This still ends up tho in the situation where if the people who want to stay in the house don’t have the cash to buy out the people who want to Leave, there has to be a sheriffs sale euphronius fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Sep 21, 2022 |

When I was looking into getting a vacation house with friends, the thought was to set up the structure like a co-op (we're from NYC so it wasn't a new concept). The thing was that the area was so cheap, each share would only have been like $10-15k, so it would be no problem to buy someone out if they wanted out.

Ham Equity posted:If everyone is an equal partner and subject to the same terms/conditions, why is it viewed as people being adverse? When two people are negotiating for a percentage of the same pot, one lawyer can't represent both of them, because any advantage secured for one necessarily comes to the expense of the other. Lawyer would owe an equal duty to both clients, and could not practically serve both interests at the same time.

In theory, they can hire a lawyer to create an entity or a limited partnership to hold the assets, and the lawyer could represent that entity, but The parties would have to come to the table with the details and the rights and responsibilities of the partnership already hashed out, and simply instruct the lawyer to generate them. In order to get advice on" the best thing to do ", each person coming to the transaction will have to have their own independent counsel.

Hey, friendlies ... I'm having problems with filing for disability in Massachusetts and I need legal help. My first application was denied, and I waited over a year for my appeal to be reconsidered. I just got my notice of denial for the appeal short while ago, so I'm not feeling very good.  More background: I left my job of 15 years in February 2021 due to my social anxiety becoming increasing hell on my quality of life and making it impossible for me to focus on getting better. I started weekly therapy and filed for disability to get me through the time I needed to get my life together and learn how to be in, and crucially work in society without being scared all the time. In late July or early August 2021, my application was denied. I was bummed but not surprised since something like 9 out of 10 applications for disability get denied the first time. So I submitted my appeal with some new supporting documents on August 13, 2021. I got my notice of denial today, September 21, 2022. I've spent this time sinking ever deeper into credit card debt and relying on family generosity that keeps a roof over my head, but my savings are dwindling. Getting hit with this blow means no relief is in sight and I'm entering territory where I need professional legal help to submit my next appeal, because at this stage a hearing is needed. Googling is a bit overwhelming because there are a lot of results and a lot of them appear to be ads. I apologize if I'm not Googling to a satisfactory degree before coming here—I feel like I don't even know what I should be looking for. I'm Googling things like "massachusetts disability appeal lawyer no income" and "massachusetts disability appeal legal aid no income". Lots of "you don't pay unless we win" type results and I'm pretty afraid of bumbling into a bad deal because I really want to trust people and I'm pretty much incapable of advocating for myself so I'm easy to swindle. If anyone here has any advice to share for this sort of thing I'd really appreciate it. It's hard not to feel like I don't matter as a person and that my problems and fears aren't valid or even real. I can't help but feel really hurt after all this waiting even if I know that my appeal being denied wasn't an intentionally harmful decision somebody made.

My first application was denied, and I waited over a year for my appeal to be reconsidered. I just got my notice of denial for the appeal short while ago, so I'm not feeling very good. Good news! This is exactly how applying for (what sounds like) social security disability tends to play out. The fee structure you're seeing is legit. Typically social security lawyers work on contingency, which means they work for "free" for as long as it takes to get you paid, and then they get a chunk of your lump sum back pay when it goes through. It is actually as good a deal as it sounds - just be aware you may have to pay for things that are not provided by the lawyer, such as medical tests and other documentation of your issues, so the PROCESS may not be entirely free even though the lawyer is.

Fees for social security are literally defined by federal rule . There is no ambiguity Getting disability for mental health issues is very hard .

My insurance lawyer says the guy I'm suing's case against his insurance company isn't very strong. Seemed kind of obvious to me since it consists entirely of "this guy should have made me get better insurance" but what do I know. My bankruptcy lawyer sent the payment plan the guy filed and it ignores my claim which isn't a big surprise. He continues to think it may be possible to get the guy to stipulate to 7 figures of damages but that doesn't seem likely to me but what do I know. My PI lawyer continues to ignore my questions but what do I know.

Is it also common to hire a lawyer to fight for long term disability with your employer provided disability insurance? Like I think I need to file for LTD but I don't know if talking to a lawyer first is good to avoid any pitfalls or talking to a lawyer first is bad because of the negative connotations of "lawyering up."

Asking for alex jones’s lawyer In practice, it's a group effort. Counsel should prep witness, court is supposed to try and control the room, witness is supposed to follow instructions, anyone, even OC, can chime in and try and stop the defendant from talking. It never works.

For Alex Jones case specifically, in the sequence - Jones is testifying - Opposing lawyer asks a question - Jones's lawyer objects - Jones talks over the judge and answers the question / the judge sustains the objection, then Jones shouts out an answer anyway I don't think Jones's lawyer is personally pissing off the judge (for that at least)
