If a house is under the family trust/will, then is it legal to kick out a sick family member that already lives there in order to sell it for more money?
The question is this. Does the sister have a legal right to stay in the house.The answer depends on whether the sister was provided with any special rights. If the sister is a tenant of some kind, i.e. she was paying rent, then she is likely month-to-month and could be evicted.If the sister is simply a mutual owner of the house on the same level as everyone else and everyone else wants to sell it, then it is very likely that the house can be sold out from under her, yes. Unless the will specifically gives the sister the right to live there for however long, then it sounds like she is out of luck. There are different ways to own property, but unless the sister has a greater right of ownership than the siblings, then she does not have more of a say over what happens to the house than everyone else. The fact that she lived there for however long does not give her the right to continue to stay there against the wishes of everyone else in and of itself.Of course, I do not know where you are, I do not know all of the circumstances, and I do not know whether your sister has any special rights. Therefore, my suggestion is that someone help the sister check with a lawyer to make sure she is fully aware of her rights.I imagine there are things the sister can do to delay her removal from the house and to make it easier to just give her some time to get herself together. But she would need the help of a lawyer.
How does trust and estate differ?
An estate is created at death, where an individual dies owning certain assets. A trust, is a legal entity that can either be established during an individual’s lifetime (an inter vivos trust) or it can be established in an individual's last will and testament (a testamentary trust). A trust can hold assets for a variety or purposes, such as for estate tax purposes, for Medicaid planning purposes and for asset protection purposes, among others.An estate may consist of assets that are owned by the deceased individual (the decedent) at death. A legal estate may be created in a variety of different ways, depending on whether the decedent died with a will (testate estate) or without a will (intestate estate). The legal proceedings necessary to establish an estate vary from state to state.The information presented is not legal advice, is not to be acted on as such, may not be current and is subject to change without notice.Disclaimer: I am a lawyer, but I am not YOUR lawyer.

Can lottery winners be anonymous through a trust or other entity?
I know that most lotteries state that the winner(s) cannot remain anonymous. I kind of understand the logic behind this to "somewhat" ensure that the winner is not associated with the lottery. From what I understand, you don't "have" to appear in public getting pictures taken, etc, but the lottery board will still make your general info publicly available. Things like your town, state and last name of the winner(s). Let's say I win $10 Million and want to remain anonymous. There are a lot of reasons for this - not wanting to get bombarded by people trying to get your money is probably one of the biggest, but what about the the potential security risks involved with the general public [good and bad] knowing who you are, how much you won and where you live... it's not really that hard to dig up info on people. Could I get away with opening a Trust Fund [or similar], assign an executor with implicit instructions as "me" as the sole benefciary and let the trust fund cash it in?
What are the rules or tips for driving on unfamiliar roads?
There's always GPS and Google Street View. You should check the local laws and regulations which are slightly different from country to country and state to state - e.g. which side of the road to drive, whether right turns on red are legal, what the speed limit is if there are no signs etc. Some of it isn't written down but you can figure it out when you get there - how well the roads are designed, whether there is negative camber on some corners, how well repaired the roads are, do the road markings make sense and can you trust them. I mean, some places there are advisory speed limits and signs on corners you can trust - if it says 30mph advisory you can slow to 40 and you'll be OK. Other places, there's nothing, and you might suddenly find yourself sliding into the ditch on gravel on a negative camber at 25.
Do Illegal Immigrants drive un-insured just because they choose to?
No, illegal immigrants do not drive un-insured just because they choose to. They are basically forced to because without documentation they are limited in the things they can do. For example, at one point in time an illegal immigrant from Mexico could use his Mantricular Consular card or birth certificate to get a regular state ID. Now, they have to have all sorts of documentation (I-9, SS#, visa, etc.) in the state of North Carolina. Personally, I would rather them have the State ID and there be some sort of documentation of just how many undocumented immigrants there are in the state. Otherwise, they drive around un-insured AND without any form of ID. Then, when an officer pulls them over they are simply written a ticket for driving without a license and the officer moves on. The undocumented immigrant never goes to court - opting instead to mail in the fine. Thus, the corrupt gov't continues to make money. It's a really crappy system that someone needs to fix. Better to legalize the immigrants who are here - having them pay retribution for coming illegally - and then focus on border security, etc. instead of running around like chickens with our heads lopped off, offering miniscule options (such as the one stated in the article) that really only cause more problems in the end. It's like trying to throw water on a grease fire - really dangerous.
Legal, How do I find out if someone is living on Section 8 in Georgia?
Is there a site that you can go to and find out if someone is on government assistance? Also, can you find out if a house is being rented under section 8? This is for the Georgia residence. I believe there is some fraud going on next door, and I'm trying to see how I can find out.
Life estate remainderman -- am I protected?
9 years ago my dad passed the title of the house to me with my dad having a life estate. this was done because my sibling wanted to throw me out of the house and wanted to move in with his wife and kids with my dad. My dad did not trust my sibling and felt since I was taking care of him he wanted me to have the house when he passes on. Now my sibling has said he will sue me for the house. I know its all threats but a lawyer told me that even though my dad gave me title deed to the house and willed the house to me my sibling can sue me because he can put a claim on a life estate. so my question is what are my rights. can I once again be threatened to be thrown out the house that I live in with my dad?
