Auto hitting my grandson on his bicycle
My grandson was riding his bicycle in our mobile home park and he was on the wrong side of the road. As he turned the corner a car hit him. He was not injured only shaken up. The owner of the car is now telling me that I need to repair her car. Am I legally responsible to pay for the damages? She refuses to turn it into her auto insurance, and claims my grandson was at fault. What do I do?

Slightly Under-the-Table Adoption
A minor friend of mine is living with an abusive mother. Her mother is also going through hard financial times. She is permanently disabled and has no medical insurance. It has been made clear to me that she can either get social security, which would be five hundred dollars a month, or keep her child support, which is five hundred and twenty-seven dollars a month. The rent for their mobile home is five hundred dollars a month. What my family is thinking of doing is ”adopting her.” What I wish to know is: is there anyway that we can take her into our home without risk of her mother calling the police on us one day. Is there some sort of document that we can get her mother to sign, stating that we are allowed to drive her daughter places, take her to the doctor, sign medical forms for her, etc, while still allowing her mother to receive child-support payments, and to keep her mother from deciding one day that we have kidnapped her daughter?

Mobile Home Tenant Law
If I purchase a mobile home in a mobile home park in California, and I am accepted by park’s back ground check, etc., does the park have the legal right to dictate who I have as a roomate? I have a friend who has a sex offender status who would like to share my home. He is on the Natl Registry, but not considered high-risk.

Is Bankruptcy the answer?

Is Bankruptcy the answer?
Hello and Thank You,
I have elderly (both 89 years) relatives that are in a financial mess. I’m trying to advise them: They owe approximately $20,000. (we think), credit card debt and damages to vehicles because of an accident. They have only social security, disability and federal pension money coming in and own their l978 mobile home, on property, free and clear but cannot get a loan on it because of its age and the fact it is not on a foundation. They own an automobile valued at about $3,000.. Should they file for bankruptcy? According to what I’ve read they would be considered judgement proof because of the above circumstances, is that true? Should they do nothing, the collection calls are stressing them real bad, can that be stopped if they don’t file bankruptcy? Thank You, Priscilla

non-relative inheritance in an intestate death My long-term partner passed away.

non-relative inheritance in an intestate death
My long-term partner passed away. We were not married, nor had we registered as domestic partners (we planned to do so this January). The decedent’s family agrees that the intent was for me to inherit what little property there is. His mother is the legal next of kin. What do we need to do so she has no tax burdens and the property transfers to me instead? We’re hoping this will not be too complicated a procedure. There is a mobile home and two vehicles, all owned free and clear.
