My sister-in-law passed away in June 2006. She kept her living trust in a safe deposit box and made the bank the trustee. My other sister-in-law went to the bank and the bank opened the box and gave her the contents even though she was not on the signature card, the bank relinquished their trusteeship and gave it to her. She is now hiding the trust, and I and my husband and a colleague were named in that trust. I have had her summoned to court to disclose a copy of the trust, but she never appeared. Did the bank break any laws by doing what they did and do I have any recourse to have the bank write me and my attorney a letter explaining what they did? I feel they broke the law and have caused me considerable pain, and I have also recently lost my husband. Can she get away with what she is doing? Isn't my sister-in-law breaking the law too?

What is the phrase "New Construction Law of Repose" and how does it apply to the responsibility of general contractors' obligations up to ten years after a home has been constructed, given that a defective floor was found three years after construction?

As a business owner in Wisconsin, do I pay company taxes on workers' compensation expenses, and can I set up deductions for health premiums in a way that avoids paying company taxes using QuickBooks?

Is it legal for an LLC to deduct money, for money owed by me for an unrelated expense, from an invoice I have written for work/materials owed to me from the LLC? I have requested in writing to be paid in full, and then I would happily pay them whatever I owed them.

I live in an apartment and pay electricity to an electric provider (Reliant). Recently, the apartment became electric for those who needed it, and I got behind on my bill, resulting in my electricity being cut off for 5 days. I resolved the issue with Reliant and got my electricity turned back on, but the apartment has sent a bill for that time. I refused to pay them since I made no agreement with them and they did not turn on the electricity during that time period. Am I liable to pay them?

A family member has done some very bad things to me in the past, including kidnapping me. I want to visit home for Christmas and am tired of him slandering me and denying the things he did. I told my family that either he could sign a document admitting everything or I would get a restraining order. He agreed. I do not have the time or money for a lawyer, but I see lots of legal forms (including affidavits) online. Can I just make up a precise, comprehensive 'confession' for him to sign (with a notary present)? Or will that hold no legal weight?
