Asked by Wiki User

There is no such thing as an illegal knife in AZ. Under 21, it's illegal to carry a "deadly weapon" concealed. The only thing specifically identified in AZ law as a "deadly weapon" is a gun. All other items would be considered on a case-by-case basis. There are also no local ordinances on knives in AZ.

How do you file a suit to quiet title in Virginia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It may depend entirely on the circumstances from which the necessity for such an action arose. If it arose as a part of a criminal action (i.e.: fraud) it is different than from a contractual occurrence. If it has to do with tax sales and other liabilities there may be no statute of limitations which applies. Every circumstance stands on its own set of facts.

What is the difference between conveyance deed and sale deed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The meaning of "sell" is to exchange something/anything for money or some other value. In the law of real property the word "convey" means to transfer the title to real property from one to another. A conveyance is the transfer of real property. == Additional Answer== In the law of real property there is a distinction between "sale" and "conveyance". A sale occurs immediately upon the signing of the seller and buyer of the contract of sale. Although the real property has now been sold, the conveyance does not take place until the closing , when the seller delivers the deed to the buyer. The term conveyance should not be intermixed with the term sale.

How do you serve legal documents in Mexico?

User Avatar

Asked by MexicoIntell

Serving legal documents in Mexico is somewhat similar to how documents are served in any other country. However, there are particular challenges that are involved in serving papers south of the border, for instance.

Language, although English is widely spoken, Spanish is still the country's primary language, and so it will be necessary in most cases to be able to get around Mexico.

If the defendant to be serve has skip town or does not live at the address on file, the resources for tracing an individual in Mexico are rather limited, so it is important to have as much alternative information about the individual's family as possible, in this way you may have additional places to look for, and find his or her whereabouts.

Usually an affidavit of service must be notarized, and so you will need to visit a U.S. Consular office in Mexico. Notarization by a Mexican notary is possible, but rather time consuming, expensive and not always a sure shot. That is because, even if the affidavit is translated to Spanish, if the notary does not understand the purpose of the document, he or she will not notarize it.

An alternative option is to use a private investigations company in Mexico to serve the documents for you.

Is it illegal if both parties don't sign a multiple listing agreement?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The parties would not have a legal contract. A multiple listing agreement is a contract. In order for a contract affecting real property to be enforceable, all the owners must sign it. If only one owner signs, the other party (the real estate agent) has no agreement with the other owner and the property cannot be listed, marketed, shown or sold.

What is the oldest written legal document?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well the oldest one i know of is the Magna Carta written in Latin in 1215 AD establishing some of the earliest guidelines for the monarchy in Britain... There could be earlier ones because believe it or not England isn't the oldest, that would be Denmark... you might try researching that but as far is a know they were all just vikings...

Added: It may depend on what the definition of a "legal" document is. Many scrolls dating back to biblical times have been discovered or unearthed. Whether you believe that some of these contained "legal" writings (i.e.: laws), or not, can be a matter of opinion.

How do you access a last will and testament?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Greetings Everyone: Below are several venues but not ALL to help you start your journey to locating a Last Will and Testament. First, locate the source who drafted the Last Will and Testament, for instance, an attorney, notary public, online provider these folks will give you insight where the document is probably located. Second, check with the Clerk of Court at the courthouse in the jurisdiction where the decedent lived. Years ago people wanted to deposit documents like the Last Will and Testament in a safe place where it would be accessible to anyone. Third, if you are a relative or close friend of the decedent go to the bank and ask them which documents are required to access the safe deposit box. If you not familiar with working with financial institutions pertaining to Safe Deposit Accessiblilty than you will definitely need an attorney or notary public (depending upon your state laws) to help you gain access to the safe deposit box, accounts, etc. Fourth, communicate with family, friends, neighbors or vendors of the decedent. S/he probably confined personal information about their last wishes. Who knows they may have the missing link to the puzzle. Lastly, the decedent probably handwritten (olographic will), which can easily be mistaken as something other than the Last Will and Testament. Handwritten wills are legal and does not require two subscribing witnesses, typewritten or affixed notary seal.

Can a 16 year old execute a legal document?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"A minor (usually, a person under 18 years of age) who makes a contract can rescind or void it, with one general exception. A minor contracting for "necessities" is bound to pay for their reasonable value. A "necessity" can be food or shelter but, depending upon the law of the particular state, it may also include cars or other items. A minor who rescinds a contract gets back whatever the other party received from the minor." Quoted from lawyers.com
