How do you obtain color of title?
Color refers to the appearance of a legal claim to a right, authority, or office. For example color of title, under color of state law.
Color also refers to a common law pleading whereby an apparent, but legally insufficient, right or ground of action, is admitted in a defendant's pleading to exist for the plaintiff. A plaintiff's apparent right or title to property the existence of which is pleaded by the defendant and then attacked as defective, as part of a confession and avoidance to remove the case from the jury by turning the issue from one of fact to one of law. There are two types of pleadings; express color and implied color. Express color refers to a defendant's admission that the plaintiff has an apparent right to something coupled with an assertion that the plaintiff's right is legally inferior to the defendant's right to the same thing. This pleading was typically used in cases of trespass to land by making fictitious allegations that put the plaintiff's ownership of the land in question. Implied color refers to a defendant's tacit admission of a plaintiff's prima facie case by failing to deny it.

Can a sibling of an estate sue the executrix if the estate has not settled in 3 years?
In New Jersey, Yes, but I assume the sibling is a beneficiary. If not then the sibling cannot force anything because she has no interest, what we call standing, to sue. After 1 year a beneficiary can sue to get an intermediate accounting to show everyone and the probate court what has been done so far. You can also sue the executrix to have her removed and to forfeit her commissions. There is no law that says an estate must be completed within a certain time frame. In fact generally for the first year no one can sue the executor to force anything unless there is special cause to do so. But 3 years is a long time and you should definitely get at least the intermediate accounting. The 3 years is not, in and of itself, grounds to remove the executrix. But is is grounds to file a lawsuit asking for that and that should give her a jolt. This answer is given for informational purposes and is not to be taken as legal advice.
In the state of Oklahoma can a non-volent felon hunt with a long gun or a black powder gun?
OFF OF THE PARDON PAPERWORK:
FIREARMS
An Oklahoma felony conviction does not prohibit you from owning or carrying a regulation-length hunting rifle for the purpose of hunting.
However, you will violate Federal law unless you have received a Relief from Disability from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, a division of the U. S. Department of the Treasury.
The truth of it is this: If the state doesn't care, the Feds don't care. Here's how it works. For a state crime, you need a state "relief from disabilities". If you receive that grant, or relief, from the state of conviction, it will also lift the Federal disability, which is more or less just a watch dog (it works this way for all state crimes and relief)--unless your crime and conviction was a federal crime. That's where and how the BATFE could come to this party--only if it were federal. Now that you have your relief from disabilities from the state that convicted you, you find out Oklahoma DOES NOT recognize "relief". They require, and will only accept a pardon. So, you're still SOL! This really sucks, doesn't it? Hey!!! You elected these guys making all these wonderful decisions.
Even if you have been pardoned, you cannot legally carry a weapon if you have been convicted of a felony. You cannot carry on your person or in a motor vehicle in which you are driving or riding any firearm which could be easily concealed. This includes, but is not limited to, pistols, imitation or homemade pistols, automatic weapons or sawed-off shotguns or rifles of any length.
Totally not true!!! Relief from disabilities does not work in Oklahoma. A pardon does. If you can convince the governor of the state that convicted you to give you a pardon, the State of Oklahoma will even allow you to be a cop, with a gun...or even a governor, if you can convince the voting public that you're really a good guy.
Anyone who was elected or appointed as a peace officer and was actively employed as a full-time peace officer on May 8, 1989 shall be permitted to possess a weapon for the sole purpose of performing the duties of a peace officer upon receiving a full and complete pardon.
Effective September 1, 1992 any person who has been convicted of a nonviolent felony and who has received a pardon may possess a firearm for the purpose of gunsmithing or firearms repair. The person must be a graduate of an accredited gunsmithing school and have been employed as such on September 1,1992 in order to qualify for this exemption.
How to find a parolee out date?
If by "out date" you mean the date of release from prison, many states list this information on their Offender Tracking Systems or Inmate Information pages on the state's Department of Corrections website. You may need the DOC number of the person about whom you are inquiring, as well as other information. Some states, however, such as California require those who are seeking inmate or offender information to call. If by "out date" you are referring to the parolee's discharge date, the date he will be released from parole, if you have a legitimate reason for knowing, you may contact the parole office and making a formal inquiry. It is public information, but some related information may be considered private.
