Legal Answers
- Q. Gap insurance claim denied, credit union lawsuit after total loss
- A: The gap insurance carrier is a completely separate company from the dealership, and the dealership is not your agent. The way to address the situation is to bite the bullet and contact the law firm that filed the lawsuit (or the credit union directly if the credit union filed the lawsuit on its own) and see if you can negotiate a payment plan.
- Q. Advice on helping my son with debts after eviction in Pensacola and considering bankruptcy.
- A: You can help him by helping him find a bankruptcy attorney who is admitted to the US Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Florida. If your town is close to the Fla/Alabama line, you can look in both Florida and Alabama. I don't recommend filing bankruptcy without an attorney.
- Q. Does a new personal representative need to file accounting again after previous PR resignation, and what damages from not accounting $30K?
- A: When there is more than 1 beneficiary, the PR MUST be represented by an attorney per Florida law. All questions regarding this issue MUST be directed to the PR's attorney. But take note - the attorney does not represent any beneficiary, only the PR in the PR's capacity as PR. If a beneficiary wants legal advice, many attorneys who represent the PR will not answer beneficiary questions. Beneficiaries who seek legal advice or have questions should retain their own attorney.
