Black obviously that capped oil well and she told me she couldn't answer any questions at you also at an ending my brother. As has confused by that it out what to do that. OK so. Is it will this lawyer drafted correct. You contacted a lawyer for clocking the Willard talk about the will it be that there. Example. Pop it will let them and I asked you questions that she couldn't art. So if your brother the executor of the named executor in the will. He is and that's what I'm a little you know O'Leary targets and he did some. Couple my diplomat that I got to property. You know questions along those lines I think trying to scare up a little bit. Yeah sounds like you did I my advice would be that you need to get an independent attorneys and the rest of the party in this case there are Asians when you can have an executive to replace. You can show. You can meet criteria that senate analog that you could potentially happen move that case is an 828 tax our apartment. Make that pennant split up and pay the apartment complex is property tax is that legal. Yes it is legal triple that in that in commercial because that Tripoli electrical that yeah yeah but in in a residential world you can have a tenant due to snow plot to attend due the the landscaping it's all part of the negotiation and needs to be in the lease or something now correct in in general has to be either you know the sort of be renegotiated. And triple also what we need to catch myself and LB will only go to the track and show. When they have it is I got myself in that time and finally tax my wife and I are expecting congratulations. My mother unwise knots. And leaving her father she is not my wife's biological mom. But she is claiming that she is entitled to grand parental rights. The greatest action is she in this is a great question yes so the short answer the baby hasn't come yet correct so the short answer is gonna be no she's not entitled to print the rights repair writes yeah. There is a lot of cases in Massachusetts that allows grandparents to command and again. Visitation rights or child or sometimes they'll commit in the try to get guardianship for Trout. One of the things they have to prove is that if there's been an ongoing existing relationship between them and the child even if they're not blood we related like if it's that it did daddy's s.'s second wife for a third whatever they I still productive day without okay is it de facto grand. He knows that prepared. But again in this case because the child hasn't com there's no relationship so if you wanna keep grandma away from the child. That's your best better keeping early child now that makes any sense speaking of Massachusetts. Larry the lawyer. Attacks there wants to know what you think the weirdest law in Massachusetts the weirdest law here's why in Massachusetts. Said he. It's a tie. I still think the adult relies pretty weird not weird in and that you should back Oden have sexual relations with your neighbors. Spouse yes the weird because nobody prosecutes it. Nobody really cares. But but there's another one this kind of weird this state to again I don't think it's weird in that sense but it's odd. The National Anthem. If you go to Gillette Stadium Fenway they are required by statute masters is the plea the national and the whole way through. Really yeah. You have completely anthem all the way through and that's a law that is it's subject to a hundred dollar fine all. But I'm gonna look at what what sports team coming off halfway what is the other it's part of that statute you cannot use the National Anthem to mix and any other songs like Vijay can't mix in the star spangled banner with straight. So that's like all. Mind that I. God that is the Massachusetts only lie is that that you Kia the palladium the Motley yes. What you can Neil. This the globe. Thomas on the Framingham boards studio line during asked an attorney without Thomas. Hey. My Obama. Has installed some cameras in the workplace that. Also record audio he says he doesn't listen to the audio. I am but he said it's legal I'll be viewed as an attorney early two weeks. Excuse the basically watched the cameras while alive and that's legal side. You know to me. I do you know I mean yeah when he's you can't watch but you cannot listen okay let's everybody has consented to listening in this they. So your bosses on a lot that's probably why he was a lawyer for two weeks yeah. A lot of people seem to be putting cameras in the workplace we'll watch what people are doing you know back in the day I used to work at day athletic club. That adds on tanning booths. And as it turned out unbeknownst to me unfortunately because I was in the prime aged sixteen this. There's an event like gold for underground feel they had they had little peoples and they are watching leader stared down with and where where this place that was high. I was sitting on clearing the way to sing when that is going as at all there are MLB are when you answer here's the texts. You don't practice in New Hampshire but the supplies temporary guest. This individual has a small LLC business limited liability corporation business in New Hampshire. And they may have to claim bankruptcy unfortunately. They wanna know what the best way to protect themselves it is. Bankruptcy. I mean as you got to file bankruptcy I'm assuming the businesses in the toilet they're wondering if they can protect their credit moving forward when they filed bankruptcy took it's a business filings it shouldn't necessarily affect your dad your personal credit is not affected by correct and I she signed on the bottom line personally but having said that ever sign a PG. But if they ever and he never PG anything that somebody could but I don't know that Hillary ever a maverick there only rookies personally guarantee that your story yes that is. The interesting thing is if he does filer she'd as file bankruptcy their business and there is a personal guarantee that all they've done is they place all the burden on themselves cut and so if that's the case human or talk went chapter seven personal bankruptcy. At which point time credits going to be shy but you can start to build. My roommate has moved out of our apartment. But still owes me money for utilities. And refuses to respond to text messages or on the back is there something I can do legally. Legally yes. You can file a small claims action which would probably be my advice it's you know it's a very small fee under fifty dollars you'd have to have their name in the address of the person suing. The the furthering actress where she's moved you. So the cursor but that's your best bet that your reasons that kind. We are in the middle ask an attorney. Of course Larry the lawyer has to be in court so how would I want to we have worked. I think I can make it their bye by the agent by 915. Where we're at what Connecticut and west road west of boulder Westbrook yet okay this is sapped the morning Seth. Hey guys what's up. All of our guys not guilty on value lie. And so on directed at bill o's that I Elliott there a lot of it we'll read a wider ground water but it where I get that wiped off.

That I don't wanna be held responsible on assuming if I bring it to their attention aren't. Then they're gonna look at me they want you to know what's going on came on you don't watch your company better but at least you're trying to do the right thing. Yes. So I'm not even street and called the police on this one friend because if you gave this guy checked signing authority. And he windows on those checks he had the right to send those all gave dad and now and said that. There's still an element of fraud and potentially an element of larceny that he committed on U. So I would say to use that your best that end the most affordable route is to contact the local police. From threatens our while. 150 grand a guy like the way with you and how do you not know that somebody grab him that he ran from New Jersey. He's probably busy most. I think Oki.

Guaranteed the wife is listening. And he parties yes a couple hundred I'd at least that's what Ottawa out that if they outlawed but yeah disaster yes you know it's great I nibbled a lot of that is if that's really what's going on here accelerate over my head Jacob. This is dad hello Daniel I'm asking attorney would Larry lawyer. I yeah I hope a couple of parking tickets. Yet often you know bought it horrible. While a what you'll pay one Obama football I I gotta think it was 4020. I guess the commercial vehicle and activate it parked their path for the guy. Orbit the ticket before hotel. Your you know that guy that was put in ninety dollars what it will pay it would 120 dollars. Now and I can make light packaging to limit the pay. I have apparently the second on a ninety dollar and I didn't get that ticket to let the pain that's up until. Yeah. I don't eat talk play this back in the day Greg yeah before I was a lawyer. Ice to take some deals has parking ticket and put it on my car. Knowing that the meter maids of walk right by hope I didn't do that this guy now. Somebody did that's not right it always appeal parking ticket but I will tell you this these days they had these of the ipads that they locked around. They're taking pictures and everything you do you approve so you'd better have the same kind of proved that shows out your photos are different than their photos or whatever it is that. For O'Toole. Every day the day care here she couldn't give the guy now five manner that's how they get jacked on that day they come on and you could be walking on the street. And all the sudden ticket appeal putting. From www. Do you have. Look at from the other side. In our yeah she doesn't know what what she knows who you're gonna be there and 42 seconds right she hurt her car. On ten I had an idea where I am lesion that. At 4 o'clock on these little stretches in Boston for example in the at a courthouse. Everything is more. And you watch at 4 o'clock and all the copy shops that these people. Because they hit it quoted indictment and I think that's unfair but the rules are posted and be Smart and here's a Texas as Larry the lawyer that parking ticket idea is pure genius appreciative not advising its is that while I'm I I would not advise that put an avid if you put ticket from somebody else on your car would be crime. I CIA I I guess we can not go down for a military that here's a safe alternative when you get your own ticket. Just keep putting that aren't because I've done active on the parking ticket man yeah. I had that orange. Right orange sticker. I think in my car and the and the one from Worcester which is blue and white matter what time did the I have a ticket myself ideas on that general. Who actually goes so far as the blue your own vehicle so but I had a that we really have to get caught up stimulus -- to reduce that balance so it's asking attorney it's 856. Today show is present shows today we are in the middle. Ask an attorney with our weekly guest Larry lawyer of course he has not officially representing you he is just offering his legal opinion. And he can text or you can call. Text line is 97107. Here's attacks which reads I have a corporate Amex. I submit my expenses on time the boss took too long to prove now the payment is late. If this shows up on my credit report. Can I blame it on the box and the company that too late I mean you can blame it on the block senior company but it shows up and you currently back again and off. I mean you can't really it should you seek if you if there's something on a credit report something that's affecting your credit. And you don't believe it's act accurate. Would that be something you would get legal advice on there's a lot of good Greg that's. That's an action questions so. The way to that works is if there's a dispute credit dispute you have the ability to send a letter to all three credit to ride bureaus. They have a very specific period of time they had to get back you on which almost none of them do well if they miss that deadline they are required by law to take that derogatory option credit. There's not a tunnel lawyers that do this but there are a whole bunch of little shops that do credit repair. I don't know how many of legit so I'm not give him you know an aim of mild but I know that there are people that do that are successful. Here's attacks were talking about speeding earlier. And this text or wants to know if it is ever permissible to speed. His. His brother was driving and injured co worker to the hospital. And got pulled over for speeding. Wants to know is theoretically they could get out of that ticket because it was an emergency. I mean they're not a an emergency responder about it but is there. You you are allowed to go over the speed limit on certain occasions or for safety issue here for example if if you don't go quickly to an electric and hit a person in the right you know that's had an example it's an extreme example yeah but it's an example when you could speed. If somebody is taking summary of the hospital and it's a grave situation. I would argue that you know life or death and and those elements from the speed elements. I'm surprised that the clock. Who pulled you over gave you a ticket and which leads me to believe that maybe this wasn't such a huge emergency move look at for. Do you take on another person's debt. When you marry them this question from any buyers. I yeah. I pray I don't do do do you know this person wants now they're obviously getting married do they take on somebody's debt when they marry them. So if you are marrying somebody has tremendous amount of debt you might wanna just put the brakes on a little bit. And that's I would say the the short answer is no you're not responsible for anybody's dad premarital that. That the longer answer though is that if you do get married in this person is summed it has a problem with that. Any debt is used during the course of the marriage for the purpose of the marriage could be conceivably. Allocated to responsibility for you as well the pre marital debt your far. All right during a break up is in 978 taxed why is it. That deep fault custody always goes to the mother because you hired the wrong person. That is not what happens anymore. What happens now is in the it is actually legislation pending for longtime Massachusetts that would start with a presumption of joint physical custody. And that's right that's what we advocate all the time you know assuming somebody's capable of doing not this part is easy to think. You know I tell people when you go to achieve that custody that you wanted to just make sure you're prepared to handle. I sold here's attacks are sold land. To my talent conservation department. On the premise. That it wouldn't be developed. They in turn sold it. And it is being developed. Any recourse yet I mean that was really what you wanted to do your yanks and you an attorney there's no they're doing them attorney. Should have been a deed restriction. You put restrictions and indeed that's it that is something for AAA. I'm gonna sell the town on this but it has to be kept as open space that's legal you can do that that's binding. Sounds like that he did not at that age at which point timely or they can do. Do like. I guess my house in the forum papers that calls to and do I need a lawyer. For eight pre nup or can we do with ourselves. Pretty upset at something you really should not do yourself especially if you're doing a pretty soon you have money to protect there assets. One of the things they look at and pre nup is is it fair was it full disclosure but you know we do printer for example onto one right now some has tremendous network. We requiring the spouse to get an attorney so that they can never viewed by an attorney in this you know we're taking away The Who has. Money the bride the groom. The room like a puppet. It is picking up there I thought it. And what is the oddest thing you've ever seen in the pre nup covered in a pre nup. Like do they cover amount of times that the couple must make love or things like that are. But I think what I have seen in a pre nup that's you know privacy mildly odd that makes sense and of course when I say I've seen it we created this language in putting in a pre. When Arabs and the woman that didn't have via the money we put any morals clause. Basically saying that if the husband cheated on her. And that it was invalid. He can't say to somebody in my opinion hey we're gonna have this long happy marriage but that doesn't work I'm gonna take everything out and they go out and have affairs. I mean that's not really equal right yeah so that would be one of those situations I think that. Would be an odd thing and does not typically standard they still together. They are still that's. Is a lot of money on different ethnic ethnic. Not this is. Carroll on asked an attorney with Larry lawyer what's up Carol. Hi everybody. I'm kinda cut that has stuff in storage for about a year. In earlier this year fell behind on the payments they were gonna put it up for auction. They said he paid off you know it won't be put up an option and I paid. And I put another lock on it but now I'm I'm noticing. Things have missing out. So I don't want my kid anybody yet until I go to the whole thing. But it was the champ I would intact the last 18100 tools. And a painting that my uncle gave from the 1940. So once I go to the Georgian and that there what should my first that the. So he indicated that you put a new lock on to the storage facility cut Euro bloc off the I mean. I'm not sure that's OK you know obviously people can't steal them. And if you had a tendency in the paint Iran when caught up the pain grant you that stuff. In your room. As matter that I do these auctions as we on the television show you can't even break the invisible CEO of the year I think when all because. I lock cock. And apparently cut back behind you know to prevent me from going in and out of it with tactic they lack you know I hated up for the auction. And put another lock of mine odd but now I've I know what I have people move to stop it that that happened that Haiti was up front. As the plot I don't who took Thalia. He's probably gonna that is proving who took it. But I'll take this most storage facilities at videos everywhere yeah has of these places. You know I I mean outgoing sooner than later and then you know maybe sent a letter to the to the storage facility asking for the tapes. It is 914. And this is asking attorney got a few more minutes before Larry lawyer has their head out. Of course defied disputing it is speeding ticket not for himself but for client. Here is. Tax which as I recently got into a car accident. And the police officer wanted to see my phone to see if I was texting them. Is he legally allowed to do that. On the Warren. Now without a war you have the right to remain silent uh huh okay and not incriminate yourself so I mean if it if you're texting and driving that is potentially criminal. Negligent operation of the motor vehicle for example would be something you can be charged with you texting and driving. News is the woman I think recently was convicted for manslaughter for text. Not not something you have to do OK my daughter's college roommate. Was caught videotaping her last year. How creepy yet this is like single a female you know she admitted to having a problem. And that she videotaped their room. 24. Hours a day from her laptop and without my daughter know. But college offered us 15100. Dollars as a payment. Because they didn't have an empty room for her to move to. We are concerned about the videos and where they may end up the college has done nothing to the roommate and she is back this year. Of course he can't do anything wrong or the other at a college and I and that's it I'm so what what's the real. Courtney looked out of status in my experience you do. Colleges and universities they do not want any crime statistics. On those colleges so. Had a meeting up with the dean of the principal or whoever that whoever's in charge of this today and say look this is not acceptable this is a violation of our privacy. This is this was. A violation of lock quite frankly yeah if there was video and audio without you knowing about it in your own personal space shiver right to privacy. Not let it known that they don't handle this you're gonna go to the police and filed charges that's not gonna sit well. By the way tax I sold my house three months ago. And last night. We got a phone call. Betty pipe that burst and the buyers are going to sue us will we be liable for the and so you you know oh yeah new clothes on house. And that he gets recorded. The purchases sales agreement goes away all of the rights obligations and to have that goes with all the doctrine of merger in the state Gregg and so the only thing they can serve you on the seal an excuse me is that things ago with the those types of things now. The one exception is is it this was a pipe the union was a terrible pipe and you put you know masking tape on and hoping they would find it. You might have some issues Everett doesn't sound like every human inspect the inspection to inspect area LB in my associate made a great point right yes yes the Canadian association says you're welcome. All right 917. And here's a question for ask an attorney there's a guy from town who runs a web site. That he's used to post a absurd things. On true fake news about people in town. He is now posted false things about me and has used my picture in these posts do I have any legal options to make him leave me. Alone will the still independent who's doing the. Check out there you'd pick the name of this though it did in game what and any. They say the guy who runs this town website thing or whatever it is anonymously. But everybody knows it's he has good luck with that it's so hard to find out who's running these things today it's nearly impossible. Number one. Number two if it's really that outrageous then as you say in his chance that it's not believable credible because it's outrageous that does not actionable. If it's up in the he's saying you know you've committed a crime a year unethical cheating spouse like that. Now you've probably had the right to laughter libel slander and this is. Joseph whole joke. Anymore what's up Joseph. Given divorce. And I don't have assets are a lot of money. I'm just trying to I'm stuck trying to figure lie actually would need an attorney whether it vehicles state can make you pay anyway. Nokia's. Duplicate story. Perseverance. You look physical. All right I mean look it's this going to be a child support question. It. Dad but what do you bank and it was I'm saying is that we reject his custody they'll run the guidelines the traditional sense of the word. He might wanna have summaries make you not overpaying. Number one. Number two there is issues in terms of college and future things that you wanna talk about there's holidays in those kinds of things. Look at the end of the day do you need an attorney to get divorced now you don't but the people that hire attorneys always are the ones that go to the cocktail parties say. I had a great attorney and the ones that didn't happen attorneys say starters here's a great one finally tax. I recently did a house clean out for a bank. Owned property and found rare points. Am I the owner. Of those rare coins now. Did it belonged to the Mac so it that they encourage you to clean up the entire property and throat all the ways John that you won't. Even in the rare calling and even the operator called the Spanish. Italian guy on this story somewhere about it. Somebody that found a whole bunch of Roman points. And of and a jury that's now. What. It's like yeah. You guys do all this doubt that someone on the part of your whole bunch of Rome inquiries they wish.

Found hundreds of three year old Roman coins in the basement an old theaters homo there it is that he's in Italy yeah.
