Of course. It's addressed to you.
Yes they do
The basic assumption is that yes, the spouse is jointly responsible. It is assumed that both spouses will benefit from the transactions.
With cash of course......Yes... Spousal Consent would be needed if the property was to be purchased by taking out a loan in both spouses names...But there are no laws requiring spousal consent for another spouse to make cash purchases of property...
Your options are for one spouse to adopt the other spouse's current or former name, to create a hybrid version of a current or former name of each spouse (using hyphenation or even creating a new word using syllables from both names), or both spouses adopting a completely new last name.
It depends. If the deceased had a spouse (or if he was in a polygamous marriage) but if he had no descendants, the spouse (or spouses) will inherit the estate. If there are only descendants but no spouses, then it will be they who inherit the estate. In case there are both spouse(s) and descendants, the spouse will receive R125 000 and the balance will go to the children. Also, if there are neither descendants nor spouses, the parents (or one parent and the other descendants of that parent) will split the estate equally.
No. Either owner has right to use and possession of the car therefore that would not be considered stealing. You might sue the person in small claim court for your interest in the car.
The estate has primary responsibility. But the debts of a spouse are a benefit to both of them, so both have the responsibility.
No.... If the none attending spouse doesn't contest to the divorce. Also if one of the spouses does not show the spouse that shows is granted what they request in the divorce proceedings
If the loan was in both of your names, yes. That is your foreclosure also.
Bankruptcy has some effect on both spouses regardless of where they live. Unless the two spouses have taken great care to ensure that their assets are entirely separated from one another, then there is likely to be some part where the spouse will be financially affected by a bankruptcy. For details you should contact a Minnesota bankruptcy lawyer (see related links). They will be able to provide specific information about how a spouse could be affected by bankruptcy.
The original deed of trust contains the names of both husband and wife. This is a Joint Tenancy Deed ... no changes can be made without the consent of both parties, and that includes refinancing. One or the other spouses will need to "buy out" the other's interest and gain sole ownership before attempting this.
In New York, spouses are generally not responsible for each other's separate debts. However, debts incurred during the marriage may be considered marital debt, and both spouses may be responsible for that debt, regardless of which spouse incurred it.
