My husband left a will drawn up by an attorney, naming me as executor and leaving everything to me. We live in Texas, and all our assets, including our home and rental property, are in both our names or just mine. Do I need to probate the estate?

What happens if I backed up at a driveway and hit a parked cop car with minimal damage? The police filed a report and offered to fix my car or let me handle it through insurance. I'm unsure if there are any legal issues or if I'm required to file any paperwork with the DMV. What should I do in this case?

I have created a unique and unusual style of music that has not been done before. How can I register this work under my name, similar to how people register their poems?

I'm in escrow buying a property where I agreed to allow the seller to continue to park 10 cars. How do I record an allowance for that? My property is part of a mini mall and customers will be parking. I can section off 10 parking spaces and allow their customers or my tenants to park.

I am renting a single-family home in Florida, and my lease is up at the end of November. I have had ongoing plumbing issues, including drain flies and a horrible smell, since moving in. The landlady did nothing to address these issues until a rat got in, at which point she acknowledged a sewer leakage. She is now demanding to have someone come in to repair the issue during the last month of my lease, which I find inconvenient and untrustworthy given her previous inaction. I believe she is only addressing the issue now to prepare the house for renting again after we leave. I do not want to accommodate her request, especially since she previously accused me of bringing in the flies and rat. What are my rights in this situation, and can I refuse her access to my home?
