My husband was trying to get a legal aid lawyer and he was trying to explain about his situation with these two females manipulating the system and the lady was very rude saying he making everything up and don't talk about Ken Paxton he wasn't talking about him he was saying one of the females is connected with Ken Paxton. So when he ask for her name she hang up in his face. I don't know how she can be in trouble for doing that because all phone calls are being recorded with every customers.

I have filed two cases through legal aid,my first case was assigned to an attorney the attorney gotten sick so she sent the case back.And the case was assigned to a different attorney who didn't even do anything wanted me to do all the work,if I had to do my own work why would I need an attorney.I also filed a second case no one didn't even try to work that case they just held it for a couple months and sent the information back.So I assume since the attorney are not getting paid they really don't even try to work the cases.i would never refer their service to anyone because your problem would never be resolved.

Please, parents, it is the law that your spouse/ex is required to provide you with residence and contact information. Always keep your documents safe and know what your rights are. Keep those documents handy if you are ever faced with that. My daughter was ‘kidnapped’ by her father when she was an infant and I took the Judge’s Orders from our divorce and custody arrangement to get them enforced. I got her back four terrifying hours later but I would never allow my children go anywhere I didn’t know where they would be, spouse/ex, friend, stranger, to no one, but we learn the hard way that sometimes our ex-spouses will just take off with them knowing they are breaking that Order. Hold on to your heart when they leave you and hold onto your children closer when they are with you.

I assume that you mean "the family member who pays the taxes for the one who refused to pay". Unfortunately, they can't be forced to accept less than 1/3 of the sale price.

Hi my name is Mary I need help getting my deceased parents house in my name. What do I need to do?

Mary Bell | Oct 19, 2019
Sandy Hill | Oct 19, 2019

You need the death certificate copied and sent to where your payments would go. So they can stop billing your parents. If there is a mortgage you may have to pay it in full to receive the home. I have seen two friends go through this. And a third friend lost his parents home due to the inability to pay the reverse mortgage in full. A fourth friend just kept the bills in her parents name cause she couldn't pay the mortgage but can afford the monthly payment. So be careful.
