Can a judgment lien be removed from a property without paying it off?
No. You cannot "remove" a lien without paying the amount due and recording an appropriate discharge from the creditor. The only other way a lien will become inactive is when the statute of limitations has passed and the creditor has not recorded an extension of the original lien. For example, In Massachusetts a recorded attachment is good for six years. If the creditor wants to continue the lien, an extension must be recorded before the six year period expires. If not done, the attachment will be no longer effective.

How do you serve the defendant in small claims court?
There are 3 methods - check with the clerk of the court for service info specific to your state. 1. Hire a licensed process server to serve the papers. 2. Have the county sheriff serve the papers. or 3. Have a responsible adult who is 18 or older serve the papers. With option 3 you will need to make sure the person signs a return of service--sheriffs and process servers should prepare this paperwork automatically. Answer Try sending the notice by certified mail--signature needed by the particular person-- This worked for us and was a cheaper option. Of course, if they had not signed and made a reply to the court, we would have had to hire a process server.
What is the legal basis for a lawsuit against a tobacco company?
There are several. One is a failure to properly warn the user that the use of tobacco might cause addiction to nicotine and has been known to cause cancer. Another basis is that the product is inherently dangerous and should not have been put into the stream of commerce. Unfortunately, courts have held that the use of tobacco is voluntary and most of the dangers are known, so the user knew this and chose to use it anyway. The companies also argue that the warning on the package is enough to satisfy the obligation to warn. These are near impossible cases to win.
Is a joint marital account exempt from creditors if the husband's salary is garnished in Florida?
Maybe, it depends upon how the account is established. Florida allows a married couple to hold real property and assets (bank accounts) as Tenancy By The Entirety. This means that if only one spouse is the judgment debtor property held by both spouses is exempt from creditor attachment. However, the signature card/account application must state that the account is held as TBE for the exemption to be valid. Please be advised, this does not mean that a direct deposit of wages would not be subject to garnishment. The garnishment writ is served to the employer and the garnishment amount would be subtracted from any auto deposit before it was made.

Where to find a legal form to answer civil lawsuit in Texas?
Although there is an official statewide court form that must be used to file a civil lawsuit in Texas (Civil Information Sheet), there is no equivalent statewide court form to answer. That's because the statements you make on the form can affect your rights at trial, so you should have the answer form completed by an attorney.
If you're proceeding without an attorney, TexasLawHelp does have a generic civil answer form - it's the first related link below - but it may not work in all courts. Many courts have their own forms. The second related link below is an example of a court form that is available online. Very few courts have answer forms online.
Use the third related link to find your court - just select your county and find your court on the list that displays for that county. You'll see the court clerk's contact information, and a link to the court's website if it has one. Click the "Online Resources" link under that court; when the Resources page for that court displays, scroll down the page to the Forms category. If the court doesn't have the form available online, contact the court clerk to see if a paper form is available.
