I have a 7-Eleven and I am trying to get a loan. The company I have been talking with is asking me if I paid my taxes. I didn't, but I am on a payment plan with the IRS. There is no lien on my credit report, and my credit score is around 700. It is unethical to lie, but I can't afford not getting that loan. Should I tell the truth or the other way?

I currently have a mortgage for my condo which I purchased in 2006. The property lost 50% of its value during a 5-year loan period. Upon expiration, the bank refinanced me with 1-year short-term mortgages and paid some real estate taxes. This year, they failed to pay the taxes, but I have continued making loan payments. I am considering foreclosure but am unsure how to proceed without a current loan agreement. Would I need to get the bank to extend the loan for another year before initiating foreclosure? Can I use squatters' rights to gain title since I am not under a current loan agreement? Or can the bank remove me by force without foreclosure?

Is there a specific NYS code or Bar guidelines on how long an attorney must keep client files, especially after the client's death? As an executor, how can I obtain a copy of the decedent's attorney files and applicable billing history, and what steps should I take if these records are needed for an ongoing lawsuit?
