Had a client come to see me about collecting on a judgment. He had an order from the court for the judgment debtors to return specific commercial equipment to him.

ISSUE: What do you need to do if there is an estate in one county or state and real property held by the decedent in another county?

In the event a person is administering an estate in one county where the decedent died, but the decedent held property in his/her name in another county, one needs to consider an ancillary proceeding in the county or counties where the real property is located.

Ever wonder why you just can’t seem to save more?

“Save More?” you exclaim “I don’t save, in fact each month I think I get poorer.”

I’ve noticed as a lawyer over the last 15 and some years of practicing that the population as a whole is getting poorer. I know I’m not the only one, it’s been reported in papers.

Legal Zoom to start your business, really? So you’re going to pay $99 to Legalzoom (PLUS filing fees). They’ll send you some documents. You fill some of them out & think you’re done.

Operating Agreements govern how the owners treat contributions, loans by owners, sale of ownership interest, voting, deadlocks, etc. (Read: this is an important document). Most people don’t fill in the Operating Agreement. Now they have troubles.

I see it regularly. Some poor soul publishes a Creditors Notice for an estate or Notice of Service by Publication in the big paper in Winston-Salem. If they selected the Clemmons Courier or Kernersville paper they would have paid about 1/4 to 1/3 of the price! It's a drastic difference. So if you're an executor of an estate, by all means, advertise in the

Having trouble with an employee? Continually missing work? Coming in late? Bad performance?

If an employee is doing something improper or that you deem objectionable, as described above, then give them a WRITTEN WARNING. Have them sign receipt of the warning, if they refuse, then note “refused” on the document. Give employee a copy and the employer should keep the original (in a safe, restricted place).

This helps two fold: 1) It can correct that problem with the employee & 2) It will help protect you against future action.
