My previous probate attorney has possession of my Living Trust binder and other personal documents. After terminating him in May 2023, I made arrangements to retrieve my items, but he did not respond to my calls or messages. I sent a 30-day notice via registered mail in January 2024, and my current estate lawyer suggested writing a demand letter. What if he destroyed my Living Trust binder and other legal documents? Is he legally obligated to contact me and ask what I would like him to do with my personal items prior to destruction?

I received a call from a law firm regarding a credit card debt from 3/31/04. They threatened legal action and I made a payment and set up a payment plan. The debt was bought by another company in 2018. Can they still take me to court after so long, and what should I do since I made a payment?
