[OH] [OH] I am trying to divorce my husband, who was diagnosed with dementia. What are the legal considerations?

I have had a preliminary consultation with a divorce attorney. The retaining cost is $4,000 which is a bit steep currently. I decided to file the preliminary paperwork myself as a result. If, in fact an attorney is needed further into the process I plan to certainly secure that service. My husband was diagnosed with dementia last October and his needs far outweigh what I am reasonably able to provide. During consult with the attorney, she mentioned that the state may mandate a representing advocate husband due to his diagnosis. Is this the case? Additionally, my children sold the home to us with $60,000 equity for my sake to be close to the grands. Can this be considered? I have not filed yet.

[AL] [AL] Was my purchase of my mother’s property valid for Medicaid purposes?

We are applying for Medicaid for skilled nursing for my mom. She had this little property in Hamilton that is part of someone else’s yard. We couldn’t get a realtor to list it. I thought I could buy it from her for the appraised value of $1,040. I had an attorney’s office prepare the deed, my mom signed it with a notary present, and we filed it with the county. I paid my mom $1,040 with a personal check. I also paid the recording fee and taxes. Medicaid has now asked for a settlement statement.

[IN] [IN] Can I walk on a public sidewalk near Notre Dame after being trespassed?

Hello, I received a trespass notice from the University of Notre Dame. The University owns and operates a building that’s on a public road that’s also, unfortunately, right across from university property. This building is connected to a public road, not a university-owned one. Would I be trespassed if I stepped onto the sidewalk of the building that’s across from the university?

[SC] [SC] My grandparents passed down land to their 5 children. One uncle is refusing to transfer the 2 acres of land belonging to my other uncle. What can be done?

My grandparents passed down land to their 5 children in SC. The way that the land is supposed to be divided is spelled out in my grandmother’s last will and testament. From my understanding the remaining portion is in the name of my grandmother’s estate AND one of her sons, my uncle, S.G. (I have the documents). Said uncle S.G. never really got along with his brother, J.G., my other uncle. Me and my uncle J.G. are close, and he wishes to gift me his portion of the land which happens to be 2 acres. Uncle S.G. refuses to do what is necessary to transfer the 2 acres that belong to J.G. so that he can, in turn, gift the land to me. My question is, “What needs to be done so that J.G. can obtain his land from S.G. so that J.G. can gift the land to me?” Sidebar: J.G. currently resides in AZ and me, the land, and S.G. are in SC.
