What is the definition of an Act of God, and if someone rented you a building they didn't own, which you were unaware of, and the building, known to be unsafe, collapsed during a storm, could they claim it was an Act of God?

In the state of PA, are you supposed to remove copies of photo ID and social security cards from the personnel files after the I-9 forms are completed? I know you are supposed to keep the I-9 forms separate, but I was not sure if the social security cards and photo ID copies needed to be removed and shredded as well. Please advise.

Recently deceased father bought a home in 1995 for $195K as his primary residence. In 2011, he added his daughter onto the title as Joint Tenant (she did not occupy the home). He died in 9/2012. The house is now selling for $265K. Is the daughter or the Trust liable for taxes on the gain from the time of purchase or the value of the home at the time of death or nothing?

I am feeling that my attorney is reluctant to do things for me because she fears it may harm her reputation, even though what I am asking is not illegal. I feel that the attorney is not representing me with enough 'zest'. I do not want to fire the attorney, but I feel I am not being represented to the fullest extent. Is it a common conflict of interest between a client and attorney, and what is the best way to resolve these differences?

I have a new revised design of patent #(NNN) NNN-NNNN issued 11-9-99 and continued with USPTO on 8/26/2003. When does this existing patent expire, and can a US patent attorney review my design to determine if it is worth submitting to USPTO for review? What would be the typical cost for this attorney review?
