Is it a crime to empty a person's safe deposit box after their death in order to beat the executor of the estate to discovery of the contents of the box, take the contents across state lines, and hide such items until the statute of limitations runs out? The contents are worth $250,000, and the person involved was a family member with power of attorney in Connecticut. This happened four years ago, and nothing has been filed or reported.

I have a question regarding the issuance of a death certificate for a missing person in Colorado. The person was registered as a missing person on 09/12/2012 and has not been seen or heard from since. There was a police report from the night he disappeared.

My husband left home and wants a divorce. We've been together for 16 years, married for 13, and we are renting in California. He threatens to empty our joint bank account, which includes family inheritance savings. What should I do?

My toilet leaked from my condo to my neighbors' bath downstairs from me and caused damage. Am I liable to pay damages or are they? It is a 3-story condo.

I had a car repossessed several years ago, and now I received a judgment in the mail. After the case was settled, I was changing jobs and supporting myself. I called the finance company and asked if they could rewrite my loan since my vehicle was half paid for. I was a little short that month, so I offered $160 instead of the full $250 payment, which they accepted. I told them I would pay the rest when my income tax check came in. However, a tow company took my car after the finance company accepted the partial payment. Did the creditor commit a breach of peace?
