Legal Answers
132 Questions Answered
- Q. Will this case be dismissed if brought to trial
- A: If you gave a statement or testimony under oath and wish to recant that testimony, it may be accepted or rejected. Your recantation may be requested in sworn form. In both instances, your false written or false sworn testimony is a crime, and I have seen someone in your position prosecuted for perjury, a misdemeanor.
- Q. What is enough probable cause
- A: NYS courts have ruled there are four stages of police encounter leading to probable cause to arrest, whch I am not going to get into since it's involved. However, a court during the prosecution of the case would review the matter pursuant to a motion challenging the basis for arrest and possibly hold a pre-trial hearing on the matter to review if in its opinion the conduct of the officer and defendant attained the level of probable cause to arrest.
- Q. Can a family member WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A WILL inorder to put a deed to a home in another family members name
- A: I interpret the question as may a beneficiary to an inheritance of a house disclaim the benefit? In that instance, it is as if you did not exist in the will [at least as far as the house goes] and any other beneficiary [such as a sibling also given a share of the house] could have his share increased as a result, or there may be an alternate provision in the will to address this, or the house, if no one else was named would probably devolve to the residuary clause of the will. You must disclaim in writing. You should understand that disclaimer means you have no interest or control thereafter as to what happens to the house, the deed, who gets the house, etc.
