Under the heading 'What property is subject to a Writ of Execution?' on the utcourts.gov information page, it states that the sheriff or constable may seize only 'non-exempt' real and personal property, and only property owned by the judgment debtor may be seized. Does this mean that the sheriff cannot take custody of exempt property or property not owned by the defendant, or does it mean the sheriff can take custody of all personal property he sees and sort out later what has to be returned to the defendant? For example, certain beds and a freezer are exempt. Does the sheriff haul them off, then bring them back after a hearing demonstrates the exemption?

As a Colorado resident with a medical marijuana card, I recently purchased 2 firearms and checked the box stating I am not an unlawful user of marijuana. Did I commit perjury, and am I in danger of having a warrant or affidavit?

As a result of an elder-abuse situation, I was forced to leave my home in Vermont with no money, no transportation, and only the clothes on my back. I am unable to pay my credit card debt due to having only social security income and no assets. Can my creditors attach my social security income, and what is the best way for me to proceed with my debt?

Is it possible to hire an attorney to negotiate with creditors to get better terms and rates, or are there other avenues for handling creditors if you are unable to make payments due to high finance charges?

My sister in Texas recently died without a will. She is not married and has no children. Her plan was to split everything evenly among my other sister, my children, and my grandchildren. Now a half sister born in 1932 has appeared and is claiming heirship. Our attorney says that we can't request DNA, and she is entitled to 1/3 share of the inheritance. The Texas law I find says a half sister isn't entitled to a full 1/3, but to 1/4 of what my sister and I would inherit. What are the legal implications of this situation in Texas, and how should we proceed?

I received a demand letter from an attorney in Texas that I find unprofessional, berating, and demanding a cashier's check. No legal action has been filed yet. How should I handle this situation?
