A woman I have been helping with bookkeeping, corporate taxes, and managing her store while she was hospitalized has been diagnosed with dementia and placed in a nursing home. I have closed her liquor store, paid some personal and business bills, and managed her finances. Her sister and sister-in-law are aware and trying to locate her will. I am unsure if my actions are legal. What should I do?

My 30-year-old son with autism and non-verbal communication is terrified of doctors and does not cooperate with medical procedures, especially invasive ones like blood tests. He needs to be sedated for dental treatment, and he recently lost a filling from one of his back teeth, causing him pain. The special needs dentist he has been treated by before confirmed that he needs to have the tooth removed. However, the process of getting the cost estimate approved and scheduling the appointment has been delayed, and now he is required to be tested for Covid two days prior to the procedure, which he will not cooperate with. Additionally, no local dentists will take his case unless I pay thousands of dollars in cash. What legal options or advice do I have to resolve this situation and get my son the necessary dental treatment?

I am writing a history/memoir and want to use photos from the internet. I understand the need for permission but finding the owners of these photos is difficult. Do you have a strategy for dealing with this?

I filed a claim against my condo association council for breach of fiduciary duty, violation of covenants, negligent care and maintenance of common areas, and they are trying to dismiss the case because I am no longer a unit owner. The claim was filed while I was still a unit owner. Where do I stand legally?

We were offered an amount for our timeshare ($44,650). After sending a copy of our contract, they offered an increased amount of $58,350 due to the seller's fees which would be due by Mexico. Does this seem reasonable that the seller would pay these fees? The broker has requested our signatures on a 'Beneficiary Assignment Request' for Citibanamex and copies of Driver's Licences. Please advise.
