How can I secure an inheritance to be exact promised to me and is actually compensation i.e. due to me?

I have be helping an elderly women for 15 years who lives in like building as I do. She had no ethnic group to help her and within the beginning I be happy to lend an occasional paw. As the years past, I took on more and more responsibility and immediately basically oversee her entire life! I do everything from grocery shopping, driving her to adjectives appointments, writing out and paying her bills with her, sorting weekly medication, cleaning her home, taking her trash out almost daily and human being a friend to her! I have spent 10 + hours weekly helping her. I enjoy never been compensated for any of my time during adjectives these years! While she has gone me in her will, it is expected she will end up surrounded by a convelescent hospital which will deplete all her assets contained by a matter of 2 -3 years. Then she will most probable be placed into a state facility.I know I should have be paid something adjectives along, but now after adjectives these years I am taken for granted! Should I ask for cash gifts to cause up for all times past years?
Answers: I am afraid, in this pernickety case, you are up the proverbial creek.

First of adjectives, inheritances by law cannot consist of compensation due, pay on contracts, etc, since only unencumbered property belonging to the lifeless may be willed. A will is by definition a bequest given of the person's own free will; hence the term "will".

For adjectives the years that you spent helping this lady, you influence that you were never compensated for your services. Was in that a written employment agreement? If you were explicitly hired, later you have a right to spinal column pay. You said that "within the beginning I be happy to lend an occasional mitt." This suggests that there be never a formal agreement that you were to be salaried.

If it were not explicitly unspoken that you were a rewarded employee, after you cannot demand compensation for your time after the reality. A court would ask you: At what hourly rate? What hours were worked? When? Where is the inspired employment contract?

Unless you were an member of staff, a court would consider your kindness over the years to enjoy been a *gift* and you accordingly have no legally recognized right to compensation of any type.

Now, if there be some informal agreement between the two of you to the effect that she would make allowance for you surrounded by her will as reward for your kindness, later you might remind her that if she doesn't give you anything presently, there may be nought left to donate.

Bear in mind, however, that you enjoy no legal standing to constraint anything.
Surely your reward shall be in Heaven. Until after, be happy that you can spawn such a contribution to making her world a better place.

In Washington, 16= age of consent. So, can a 16 year old own sex with an 18 year elderly?

I think that'd be okay. If you're at the age of consent, everything's trial? Thank you!
Answers: Short answer; if 16 is the age of consent, yes.
Some places have a graduate system; in Canada, if a 15 and 13 y/o are together it's okay motivation they're w/in 2 years apart. Age of consent here is 14, an 18 and 14 or worse can go out.
Assuming Washington state not Washington, D.C.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_cons...
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?...

Makes it look resembling Washington is 18.
There are also position of trust issues... and of course making pornography of a minor is unendorsed. Even, technically, two minors or of yourself.
Sometimes, also, double-standards for non-heteronormative sex. (I read that there's a state where if six culture have their legs sour the ground in a room they _can_ be charged next to lewd behaviour.)

Whether their relations and friends are going to cause them problems can also be an issue. Lots of improper activities progress on where everybody involved is cool beside the situation.
As always, safer sex! Clear consent!

Cheers,

Rob

Edit: It _is_ 18, according to the second legislation I can get my hand on. RCW 9.68A section 011 (last revision, 2002)
[Exploitation of Minors act]
Definitions
Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the definition in this subsection apply throughout this chapter.

subsection (4)
"Minor" means any creature under eighteen years of age.

Here's the mitigating division: [they mean statutory r*pe dunno if the censor cut that.]
(c) For a defendant charged with rape of a child surrounded by the third degree, that the subject was at most minuscule sixteen, or was smaller number than forty-eight months younger than the defendant;

That's off the legislature website. So primarily that means you're scott-free. There's more, but it sort of turned my stomach after a while. I did check through the achievement and if you're less than two years there's zilch he can be charged with.

IANAL I own just read legislation on moment.

As long as he's got no power over you (other than the power of love!) you're cool. [Authority or doesn`t matter what.]

Enjoy! Be safe! 75% of relatives get HPV at some point contained by their lives, and that's just one STD!
The age of consent is PERCEIVED as individual 18, and they could change or formulate up the rules as they go. Most general public don't believe it's 16.

Regardless, sex should be practiced in conjugal only.
resourcefully i think so!
2 years isn't bleak..
and if he just turned 18 consequently yea i mean he merely got into the full-size phase...but dont cha think your rather to young to be have sex??
lol
i'm 18 and my boyfriend is 22
4 year difference! but hey we dont need anyone surrounded by our business..so keep yours on the low too
I would be extremely alert with this situation. I'm not judge, because my high university sweetheart (now my husband of 4 years) is three years older than me. We be having sex when I be 15 and he was 18. I figure that since 15 is the age of consent in my state, everything be ok. Come to find out, my parents still could have have him thrown in send to prison for statutory rape (they wouldn't have because they love him as much as I do, but they still could own if they really wanted to).

If you really love this man, I would suggest waiting so that you wouldn't be responsible for getting him thrown contained by jail (God forbid). If he loves you, he will linger, and he will respect you all the more for it.

This is unfair for babies?

If you're pregnant and i shoot you within the stomach and the baby dies, i'm gonna be charged w/ murder and attempted murder. And I believe to be exact justice. However, if you're pregnant and you catch an abortion, it's alright? that makes no sense?! If you haven't guessed, I'm pro-life, but don't confer me crap about not have a say because if I knock my girl up I'd say "WE are have a baby" implying that we're a couple and i'm going to step up to my responsibilities. Here's my examine. Is it wrong that I can be charged with murdering your tot, but you can't if you don't want it? again... I firmly believe that if I shoot you and kill your unborn I should be charged w/ murder and given the demise penalty, but i'm not going to do it.
Answers: I totally fathom out what you're saying, and I guess within some ways I can see your point. Basically though, the reason why abortions are legitimate is because it's YOUR body, and the government can't bring up to date you what you can and cannot do to your own body.

This is a very simple, dumbed-down publication of the law, but that's it contained by a nutshell.
You are wrong to a degree. If you shot an unborn child it depends on how developed the child is.
I would explain it to you and what the court's result was but I don't believe your grill was even a give somebody the third degree. More of a rant of expressing your beliefs.

I assume that no matter what I vote you are not going to change your mind on abortion mortal murder and wrong. But your blanket statement is wrong. You can't always be charged next to shooting and killing an unborn child.
First sour if you shoot me in the stomach you would be tried for 2 counts of murder and yes you should be. Second, you are a guy so you can't bring back pregnant how about you go these decisions up to your wife or girlfriend mortal no one have the right to force their beliefs on her. About you saying We are have a baby that doesn't form sense you can't carry it, you don't push it out you simply have adjectives of th fun. So quit judging walk off that to god.
If a woman decides to hold an abortion then i.e. her making that decision not some crazy guy who have a gun. If you are talking in the region of if a boyfriend kills his toddler inside the mothers stomach. You are killing 2 empire and it is not your body.
i know that is stupid im hopeing they wrapping up abortions its wrong to kill them even if at hand not born yet. God may own chosen that person to be the subsequent great leader or something resembling that
Jeff, this is a very controversial subject. And as such, discussing it will bring out incredibly strong opinions.

As "romance" mentioned, the differences within your two instances is that one is the woman's choice and one isn't.

Also, what seems to be thorny to determine, or agree upon, is when is a fetus considered a "life"? Opinions vary on this. And until at hand is an agreement, all this discussion is going to be moot.

I do applaud your stance on responsibility though. If adjectives young men have this mindset, most of these problems would diminish greatly.
Well I feel a short time better knowing you are not such an extremist you would go so far as murder to prove your point. But what you pro-lifers inevitability to know is abortion happens whether it is court or not, all the decree does is make it safer for folks of lesser scheme. The rich will get their abortions no situation what, if they have to they can afford to travel over seas and return with it from one of the other countries of the civilized world.

Another thing that make no sense to me is your death cost stance. you claim to be pro-life but are for capital punishment.what a hypocrisy. Let me guess an eye for an eye. That is an feeble testament quote. Turn the other cheek would be the correct christian quote.
EXACTLY

WHY should WE MEN get treated differently than women?????

WTF
we give them voting and a chance to catch out of the house and now they want to be put on this base...heck its the man's baby too!!! (you find what i mean)

Abortion is killing the toddler..ending its energy..making it so it doesnt even see the sunset.bam vanished forever...just close to if you kill a grown man...you pause his life

ABORTION = MURDER

If You Can Do The Time Is It Worth Doing The Crime?

A lot of people hold on to saying this antediluvian saying "If you can't do the time don't do the crime." Well, what if you can do the time?

If you frontage up to your sentencing, have no financial problems preventing you from paying fines, if you hold the attitude willing to do doesn`t matter what you want and not hide from it, is crime worth it? Hell, I don't verbs about committing misdemeanors. If i catch caught, smile, pay the fine, cooperate, and I'm on my path.
Answers: good for you!
I guess it would depend on the crime, why you want to commit the crime, and how much it method to you to do so. If you're doing so to make a statement explicitly important to you, and you're feeling like to face the consequences...sure.

However, I don't deem the original target of the saying referred to material, legal crimes, per se...I regard you're taking it too literally.
uhhh. no?
doing the time is HORRiBLE!
it's not all it's cracked up to be
but if that's what ya really want.. consequently hey go ahead and try it!
i'm sure that you want to be locked away from the world
and deprived of your freedomz!
All I can influence is --- Dream on buddy.

One thing lead to another.
As I always articulate.I have a duration and I want to live it outside of the jailhouse bars.

No the crime is not worth it no situation if you can do the time or not.
Your sense of civic responsibility is inspiring. Thanks for posting.

Your ability to do the time is not worth our suffering your crime.

Is my employer allowed to do this?! What can I do?

I've been working for this retail place (Canada, Ontario) for around 7 months now. They've told me around september how they be closing down but told me how I would be placed in one of their other 4 stores and not to verbs. As the deadline has drawn closer and closer they haven't said a word around my placement. The District Manager came to me Saturday 22 beside a note to sign adage my job will be terminated on Dec 31...
They told me I would own a place... not maybe. They said perchance in the ultimate days... now its accurate bye?

Are they allowed to do that? What could I do? Who could I report it to?

on a side note... you reflect on loyalty and hard work would place you some where on earth...but not everywhere...
Answers: Unfortunately, they can do that.

Now, as I gather from what you've written, you and your employer simply had a speaking agreement. That's quite unreliable since relations have the partiality to forget, right? So, if ever you plan on going to your country's Labor department, what evidence could you present? Unless you have witnesses to support your claim. Then again, it will still be rock-hard since you have no perceptible evidence of what you and your employer talked nearly.

For some employees, what they do is they write down in black and white what both parties enjoy talked roughly and then they ask the employer to sign that tabloid. I do think it's lawful. It's just better to enjoy concrete and tangible evidence.

Another entity, do you have a copy of your contract? If you hold, please read through it again. Some contracts have clauses that enunciate --- and I will simplify it --- that the company can terminate organization (sometimes without back-pay or incentives or a placement contained by some other company) in the event that company may hold to close down.

If your contract doesn't have that (clause), capably, you may have a aggression chance.

Then again, it will depend on the labor law of your country. (If you can, please read that, too.)

So, next time, remember: If ever you and your employer talk about something historic, write it down and let both of you sign it. It's other better to have everything on dictation so nobody can say "I didn't speak that!" :-)
Yes, they can, sorry.

"If" you have proof that they promised you a topical job, AND that you own lost money by relying on that promise (for example you turned down another job) then you "might" own grounds for a suit on the grounds of "detrimental reliance", but I have to voice it's unlikely.

Richard
i worked for a grocery store that had 3 other stores within my area. i be the produce manager, help open the store. worked my little aft off near... and was given a 2 year notice that the store be closing a year later. when i asked in the order of being transferred to another store, the owner told me that anyone wish to do so would have to pack out an application. i talked to several ancestors who all told me that we should own had first dibs on any widen position... but in the winding up it's the company's call as to what they will do. share you what. it friggin sucked. all my loyalty to that work... working all the hours. and i go and get turned away like a 16 year hoary applying at taco bell.
so... yea, they can do that. and most likely they will.
You could wallet a grievance and try to collect severance pay or if that doesn't work you could try job loss claim.
Do you have some proof of what they told you surrounded by September? If you have it within writing (like in an e-mail) afterwards you may have a covering. If it was simply verbal, after they can change their minds.
all right i hate to voice it but your employer can do what ever they want, and they hope that you will not fight it , it sucks but check out your member of staff rights, on line and that might serve you out. oh and for your records, document adjectives of your notes, conversations, that you enjoy with your employer!
They wouldn't say-so you are being terminated if you are anyone transferred to another store. Basically, they lied. Looks to me like the source they lied is that they don't want you to bail, because then they would be even more screwed.
Collect job loss while your looking for another job!
Ontario is contained by a recession, just similar to Michigan.

I'm sure they hoped that things would be going well plenty to move you, but they found out how bad the reduction really is.

You now hold 2 choices. Get angry and bitter and spend all your time and heartiness mad that they "lied to you". OR, pour adjectives that energy into finding a unmarked job.

Which pathway will help you reward your bills?

Good luck to you, and to us all. Times are tough and it will not be getting any easier anytime soon.

Peace to you.
There is no regulation that I know of anywhere where an employer have to keep you on.

Constitutional??

In a civil case your Bill of Rights do not apply; for this reason burden of proof may fall on the defendant. How is making an offense civil and criminal Constitutional?

If they can do this next to red lights (you get pulled over by a cop it is criminal, you obtain caught by the camera it is civil). Same "crime"and the burden of proof falls on the defendant. Can they do this for anything they want? Such as robbery, murder, rape, DUI, any crime?
Answers: I don't know where you live, but your example doesn't really cause sense to me as I understand US tenet. The infraction that you are charged with when you run a red street light is usually the exact same charge, under the exact same portion of the vehicle code, whether you are caught by a cop or by a camera. The ability of detection does not change the make-up of the infraction under the canon.

Second, I don't know where you take idea that the burden of proof shifted to the defendant surrounded by your example.

So no, I don't think they can do this for anything they want, because I don't even focus they have done it surrounded by your example.

EDIT - I did look it up, even though at first you gave us no clue as to what state you are contained by and never did say what covering you were chitchat about.

In the bag you obliquely refer to, Mendenhall v. Akron, the city have passed a law, separate and within addition to state directive, making running a red light a civil offense contained by the City. You can be fined and (depending on the wording of this statute, which I have not read), it is possible that you progress to the civil hearing already presumed guilty and have the burden shifted to you to prove otherwise. But you cannot be jailed.

If you are pulled over by a real live police officer surrounded by the City of Akron (or other city with a similar law), he would own two choices: 1) he could cite you under the exact same City ordinance and you proceed to your civil audible range, or 2) he could charge you under the State of Ohio's vehicle code, which may result contained by a misdemeanor criminal charge for the running the light. Your police officer told you he would hold cited you under the State's canon and not the City's, but he could have done any.

As in Minnesota, drivers contained by Ohio are fighting these ordinance which are popping up as fundraisers for the cities. In addition to the "burden of proof" issue you lift, the bigger issue involved is whether cities can use "home rule" to establish a patchwork of traffic laws across a state that have already got one without a flaw good imperative on the books that works basically fine for everybody.

With traffic tickets, there is an incentive for cities to do this. But nearby would be no upside to making robbery, murder and other crimes "civil". Presumed guilty? Maybe, but you couldn't send them to lock away. This goes to the definition of what is a crime versus what is civil prosecution by a governmental entity. A crime is a vandalism of public law of a serious moral fibre, justifying incarceration upon conviction.

Once the possibility of incarceration is present in a ruling, constitutional protections kick surrounded by.
They could and do. The thing that you must remember is that contained by civil cases that involve things such as violent crimes, or robbery, it is the relations, not the state suing someone for monetary damages caused by the travels of the defendant. No jail time will be sentenced and the defendant can still own a lawyer.

postnote 1/4/08--you've get it now! The correlation between put inside time and civil cases...
What are you talking in the order of? Your post implies your sports car ran a red flimsy and a traffic camera recorded that- A officer stopping you would charge you criminally? But the camera ticket say civil instead of criminal? Short answer- the officer didn't catch you driving so can't be sure the saloon identified as yours running red light have you driving it- you have a randomness to say it be someone else and they have to prove it wasn't. if picture doesn't own clear view of driver you deeply win- still have to explain who be driving, you say joyriding trespasser and the police are stuck. If they find your younger brother who says you give permission consequently they may charge you with jam for lieing about driver. Specific charge please.

Hit and run at mcdonalds what do i do?

ok so i was at mcdonalds drive thru and some female backed into me, i go up to her and i ask her for information and i noticed that she be really drunk. so drunk that she couldntt even speak right!

she was amazingly aggresive and i guess got worried when she realized that we know she was drunk
and she simply took off.She consequently ran into the mcdonals sign and still run.

i didnt catch the license number but mcdonalds have a camera and they said they'll try to get it for me , but should i net a police report?

theres not much damage to my motor but just to be undisruptive.
oh by the way this happen in texas.
ugh mcdonalds crew didnt do much!they pissed me sour
Answers: You simply must file a police report. And yes ring the insurance company... you are only informing them that here was an incident and hold filed a police report but you are not seeking to manufacture a claim or even have an adjuster look at it. You are lately tellin them in a timely mode in baggage you need them subsequently. But even if you did want to fix it for the purpose of later rates you would want to of late pay brass.

If you call write down who you spoke to, the time and the skin number for the call. If you move about to an actual office procure a copy of what the agent wrote down and give them a copy of the police report.

There are number of reason for this. crazy stuff happens. The actual owner of the store may database a police report in proclaim to cover their butt insurance wise. She I don`t know gets caught and she could speak it was you.. tape get wipe and you were bringing up the rear her. She could try to sue you. Many things could happen.

Speak next to the police and then your insurance company of late to cover your butt. The crew? Don't be mad as they really don't know what to do or how to be in motion about it. They are not going to volunteer the tape as you might try to sue the McDonalds. The police have to do that division.
yes file a report, verbalize to the police they will give you better answers than yahoo.


o and other have a camera all set for events like this, suitable luck!
about making a police report I would voice that you absolutely must because the driver requirements to be stopped from driving, she will kill someone unless you do. McDonald's themselves would put a bet on you up. (as in McDonald's the in one piece group that oversees small franchises)

You may not recover damages per se' and as near is minor damage that turns out for the best. Even if you catch a solicitor the chances of you getting money for damages are probable but the costs incurred are high.

McDonald's enjoy to abide by police law even if they don't resembling it.

Yeah definitely ring the police, dutiful on you.
Yes you should file a report. And if you get hold of the license number you should tell the police what you saw crop up. That person is a hazard to others on the road. If she drinks and drives she may eliminate someone one day beside her car.

Sorry you have a bad situation occur to you. I am very obliged that you are allright and didn't get injured.

What can I do if I bought something and after 20 months still have not received the item?

My wife and I be married in June 2006 by an up and coming photographer. At the time we be promised a world of service and the greatest pictures. With that being said, its January 2008 and we still enjoy not received our wedding album. We rewarded her 1900.00 dollars in total at our celebratory and all we hear from her are excuses next to no results. Does anyone have proposal on what we could do to forcefully but legally win our wedding album? Do we hold grounds to pursue her with decriminalized council and possibly collect for damages? Are there law against this type of horrible business practice? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank You
Answers: Yes, you should contact an attorney roughly this, you had an agreement (maybe even a written contract), and she breached it. You can sue for breach of contract, but see an attorney asap, I enjoy no idea how long the statute of limitations is for your locale.
Round up adjectives your documentation and take her to small claims court.

You don't have need of a lawyer and when she get notice she may seize off her but and find you your photos or at least your money in need going in front of a settle.

How hard is ratification the BAR Exam?

What does it take?
Answers: Pretty tricky. A lot of people don't surpass it on the first try, even those who went to a top directive school.

Two things you stipulation to pass the block. 1) You have to know the brass tacks inside and out. Elements of a valid contract. Elements of a tort. All of the torts. Criminal law and procedure. The constitution. All of it .

2) You own to be able to take everything you know down on a sheet of paper. A lot of empire fail the exam because they cannot certify all of the opportunity to show what they know in the ask and then obtain all of that erudition down as quickly as possible.

Review courses and studying can relief with both of these things, up to a point. But if you are distracted underneath stress or unable to meditate quickly and surrounded by an organized fashion beneath pressure, it is tough to pass the banister exam.
Very.

Many would-be lawyers pocket a one year "Bar Review" course after graduating ruling school back they sit it.

Is being a Live-in Girlfriend Illegal?

You recieve monthly allowance, motor, and room and board.

And you are everything a girlfriend is. [yes there is sex]

You also attend college.
Answers: It's not unlawful but it wouldn't be worthwhile unless the potential GF was making some type of unconscionable contract due to depravity within her own situation.

The only point different from that situation and a normal situation of that humour is intent.

The intent of a person doing those things for the monetary rewards is different than someone who is simply delivery that as a perk.

Even if there be some arbitrary law out in attendance that could make it illicit in some state how would they prosecute it?

How could they prove it unless you signed a contract stating as much?
Is your pimp-daddy doing dishonest things? Otherwise, why ask? Having an identity of "addicted" doesn't help. Be smarter. Your college have liitle value if he is a nugget. What give or take a few your life?
