I was dating a man who agreed to pay off my $25k debt with verbal repayment terms but no written agreement. I paid him back for a while but stopped due to personal reasons. He is now threatening to sue me for the remaining $20k and has also threatened to contact my family. I am in Oregon and he is in California. If he sues me, will he win, and what can I do to prevent him from contacting my family?

My sister Michele convinced my parents to sell their house to her for 80% of its appraised value through a handwritten contract. The contract stipulates that my parents can live in the house until they pass away, after which Michele would own the property. I believe Michele took advantage of the family's trust. Is there any way to address, rescind, or nullify the contract, and what are the implications if my mom decides she is not welcome on the property?

My father recently passed away, and I lived with him in an apartment next door. I knew he had some policies, including a state policy for teachers that could cover his expenses. The beneficiary on the paperwork is his brother, but the state policy mentions next of kin, which would be me and my sibling. The brother is the executor, and I am the administrator, but he has informed me he is kicking me out of the home and not using the proceeds to assist the estate. I feel this was elder abuse because my father was in early dementia, and the brother is holding up the payment for funeral expenses. We are the estate and named, but the funding is going to a person who is not working in my favor. We have no standing to fight this even though SCPUBA says next of kin, which would be the children. What are my rights and how can I address this situation?
