Auto Insurance claim
We had a drunk driver slam into our vehicle while stopped at a traffic light totaling the car. He carried a non owned auto policy with company A. The owner of the vehicle carried an active policy with company B. Company A explained their policy was excess and that the carrier on the owned vehicle is primary. They declined to take responsibility. Then the owner produced a bill of sale dated within the past 30 days to his carrier (company B) Company B declined to take responsibility for damages as their client sold the car to the driver prior to the accident and is not legally liable. At what point does legal ownership of the vehicle transfer from seller to buyer? The buyer made his first payment in 2007, so company A is now refusing to accept responsibility because their insured is beyond the 30 day period to report ownership of the car. However the bill of sale is dated within the past 30 days. No title has been applied for. Nor has the DMV been notified. The license plates are still registered to the seller and still on the vehcile. In addition, the seller still paid an insurance premium for the vehicle under his own policy. Two insurance carriers and both declining to accept legal responsibility.

Forced Eviction
Below are the basics:
There is no written rental agreement but terms of the lease were agreed to orally by both parties. The agreed upon rent has been paid in full and on time by the tennant. Prior to moving into the home the tennant assisted the landlord in a major remodeling the home at no cost to the landlord. The intention of both parties was to have the home available to rent in a quicker period of time for the tennnat.
During the course of the lease the landlord has entered the property without permission while the tennant was not present and has not lived up to promises to complete the remodeling of the house.
The tennant was fed up with the landlord and had decided to move. While the tennant was in the process of moving the landlord changed the locks denying the tennant access to the property. The rent for the month had been paid in full and the landlord was not aware of the tennant moving until showing up at the property unannounced.
Does the tennat have any legal course of action to possibly be awarded reimbursement for the labor contributed to the remodeling or other damages related to the forced eviction?

Rental agreement
In Missouri, If I sign a ”one year” rental agreement that only states that if I give a thirty day notice, which I did, I would loose my deposit. HOwever, the leaser is claiming that I must pay rent regardless until she re-rents the apartment. Is that legal, if the contract does not say it? The leaser claims that I signed a one year contract and no matter what the contract reads, I am obligated to fullfil the contact until she re-rents it.

Living Will Hi everyone, Just a quick question here.
Living Will
Hi everyone,
Just a quick question here. I’m 24, and I’ve been doing some deep thought about possibly making a will. I’m single, but with someone and we are pretty serious. I don’t know if this is foolish of me to be wondering about this now, but I was thinking about making a will and have my assets basically split between the girl I’ve been serious with for a while, and my parents. Is this possible, or is this even heard of? I’ve browsed some of the archives and don’t see anything that deals with my situation specifically. Just wondering. : )
