QUESTIONS

  • I sold my 18-wheeler on a private deal (lease/purchase) and they buyer won't live up to his end of the deal. Not only that but the truck broke down about 3 weeks after we signed the agreement and it is going to cost approximately $20,000 to fix it. What legal recourse do I have?
  • We requested our landlord hold our last month's rent (lease was not being renewed) and she agreed. We moved out early and returned the keys. Are we still the legal tenants of the home? She is refusing to allow us to use the driveway to park a vehicle.
  • My wife passed away in October and a little while after I received a letter from a collection agency called GC Services saying she owed over 49K to them with the original account being from Educational Credit Mgmt Corp. (student loan)I know Arizona is a community property state but am unsure if I am responsible for her debt. I never signed on any loans and she has no estate to distribute to creditors. Her name was not on the house, cars, or anything. I don't feel like I am responsible for the debt but thought the law might see it differently. I have not contacted the collection agency.
  • Is it illegal in the state of AZ to sell/transfer ownership of a used vehicle that has been repaired in an accident without disclosing specifics of vehicle repair history?
  • I am engaged to be married to the love on my life. She previously had a baby with a man before we met who I absolutely adore and consider her to be my own. His name is not on the birth certificate and he has been absent for the greater majority of her life. There is a child support order but nothing else. Is there any way I could adopt her or get parental rights of her?

  • My house foreclosed and was sold at auction on 4/4. On 4/5 I spoke with the new owner and he said he would give me until 4/12 to vacate. Today 4/9 I recieved a Forcible Detainer request form in the mail. DO I need to be out by today?
