I have a large judgment from a past landlord for damages that occurred while I was renting. My insurance denied the claim because the gas was turned off, and my landlord's insurance denied it because I was listed as an additional insured without my knowledge. The landlord sued me and was issued a default judgment for $125,000. I am concerned about protecting life insurance benefits I would receive from my mother's estate planning. Is bankruptcy my only option to discharge this judgment, or is there a way to pursue the insurance agent and company for listing me as an insured without my knowledge or insurable interest?

We are managing a Hotel Homeless Shelter in NYC for the Mayor's office. There was a gunshot incident, and the police searched the building but found nothing. Now, they are asking for the names of all residents, who are all on parole with criminal backgrounds. Do they need a court order to obtain this information, and can the hotel legally provide these names? Does the same apply to us and the Mayor's office who are overseers?
