| Can I move out of United States while being pregnant without my baby's father's consent? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 04:50 AM PDT I married an American man 6 years ago and had a planned pregnancy after several miscarriages. I'm not a citizen and still have friends and family in my home country in Asia. Unbeknownst to me, my husband has been carrying on an affair with a lady and has been planning to leave me after a few years after the baby is born. Now I've known this for months now, and as the days go by I've realized that I don't want to give birth in the US and have him be a part of me or my baby's life. I've been applying for jobs back in my home country in Asia and I'm confident that once I move back, I'll have a job lined up for me. But will it be legal if I move out of US and give birth in my home country? I will be putting up the child for adoption and don't plan to come back to the United States. My main questions are : Can I file for divorce while being abroad? Will it be considered parental kidnapping if I move to my home country while being pregnant and married? [link] [comments]  |
| my aunt transferred my tax refund from my bank account to hers without my consent Posted: 02 Oct 2021 06:23 AM PDT location: california, usa i recently got my tax refund from the IRS just two days ago (sept. 30th ; amount will not be disclosed but it's a big amount of $). however, she may still be linked to my account (we opened my bank account when i was 16) but they told me that she's taking her name out of it. when i got my tax refund, i saw that they transferred the money out and was sent to her, WITHOUT my consent. not even a word from them that they're taking it. how do i dispute this? i messaged the bank but no response yet. i want to settle this legally so any advice will help. thanks!

| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 11:34 AM PDT Do we have a case if there's no hard evidence that she showed us the wrong lot? All we have is one witness (a neighbor who approached us while we were standing in front of the lot with our real estate agent), and some texts to family the day we found out our house was being built down the road. The lot she showed us was a large corner lot with a retention pond behind it. She talked it up saying that there would be no chance of someone building behind us. The *correct* lot is about 100 ft down the road. It's on an intersection, is NOT a corner lot, and it has a sketchy service road running directly behind it. This is a one lane road that begins on the main road parallel to our house and ends on the main road perpendicular to our house. It can be accessed by anyone and comes up directly behind our lot. We have obvious safety concerns about this road as well as the intersection in front of the house (something that would have been a deal breaker for us in the house hunting process). However, over 3 months had passed from the time we went under contract to the time we discovered our house was not being built where we thought it would be. We considered backing out and starting over, but we have a baby and our current living situation is less than ideal. Our agent is at fault here because the address, parcel number, and all information about our lot has always been correct in the contracts we signed. The F-up happened when our agent brought us to the lot using her gps and the address which doesn't even exist on maps yet because it's a new construction and construction hadn't even begun at the time. She should've used a lot map to show us an empty lot. Seems like negligence at the very least. At this point we've decided to go forward with the house, but is it possible to sue the agent for giving us misinformation? Any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it legal to Punch your child in the face in the state of Texas? Posted: 01 Oct 2021 08:33 PM PDT Happened to a friend of mine's brother(15M) his dad punched him in the face for not passing a class in school. It didn't leave a bruise but it swelled up his face. He went ahead and took pictures of it. Also he has mentioned this isn't the first time it's happened. But because it didn't leave a bruise, is it legal to do that? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 07:11 AM PDT I have been in my apartment for almost two years now. Yesterday I found a leak in my apartment coming from the hot water heater. I contacted the landlord via phone and even through the tenant app where I could explain the situation. The landlord company called me this morning and said that I have to either put a claim with my renters insurance to pay for a new water heater and replace the areas of the ceiling damaged. They're refusing to fix the problem that I didn't cause. My neighbors to my left have had broken pipes since the snowstorm and they told them the same exact thing. What can I do besides putting rent into an escrow account until they fix the hot water heater and ceiling? [link] [comments]  |
| Overnight visits with grandparents Posted: 02 Oct 2021 10:02 AM PDT State - Indiana. Ex and I have 50/50 parenting time, joint custody. Our child has fall break next week. It's my parenting time all week, and I planned 2 overnights for kid with my parents, who live three hours away, but with whom kid has a very close relationship. I will go there after two nights, spend two more nights, and then we'll return home. Ex is attempting to invoke Additional Parenting Time, saying that, because I "need" coverage, that ex is entitled. I don't need coverage. I work from home, and can easily have our kid here with me, but wanted to get kid more time with grandparents. Is there any exemption to Additional Parenting Time, or is it black and white that, if my kid isn't with me, it can be exercised? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| My parents want to unenroll me from university. I am 17. Posted: 02 Oct 2021 11:32 AM PDT As a minor, am I capable of disputing their decision or do I have no choice but to go home? My parents decided to pull me out because my grades are under average for my first semester so far- I'm halfway through my first semester at university, I live on campus, and I'm attending out-of-state. I'm not giving any dates or locations out of fear my father will find this post as he also uses Reddit. I believe I can pull my grades up to par, and I know I will pass regardless of I keep up my current grades, and I really would like to keep attending this school as it feels more like home already and I love the community here.

| Mom keeps taking my medication to give to brother Posted: 02 Oct 2021 07:56 AM PDT I (18 M) have several prescription medications that I take every day. The one I will be discussing in this post is Clonidine, which I take to help with insomnia and hyperactivity due to ADHD. I live with the family that adopted me when I was 15: the grandparents, "M" and "P", the uncle "C", the mom "mom", my half-sister "J" and my adoptive younger brother "W". W is 10 years old and has several disorders, including autism and oppositional defiant disorder. He can be extremely violent, and is prone to meltdowns that include hitting, spitting, cussing, throwing things, and breaking things. Mom, for the ~2 years that I've been on clonidine, has been taking pills from the bottle to give to my brother to put him to sleep for the day. This started before I had access to my own medication for safety reasons, when M had them locked in a safe. Mom would ask M to give her my medication to give to W, and M would do it. Now that I turned 18, I'm now in control of my own medications. There have been times that I willingly gave my medication to mom because she's violent with W and I don't want her to hit me either (the reason I was removed from my biological mother's house). There have also been times where when I woke up in the morning, she would tell me that she took some of my medication like it's no big deal, and like I don't need my medication to function well. There have been times where I ran out of medication and had to go up to 5 days without my medication, so I hardly slept, was extremely hyperactive, and had a few meltdowns myself. M has already told mom to stop taking my medications, but she hasn't. I've reported them to DCF, only for DCF to laugh it off with mom and dismiss the case, and I almost got kicked out of the house. I don't know what I can do if DCF won't take me seriously, especially with the risk of getting kicked out. I can't work right now due to medical reasons, and for mental health reasons I'm taking a break from school. I don't have anyone who can support me while I'm down like this. If anyone could please give some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't have a phone so I can't call anyone for help on this, just my laptop. I live in Florida, USA. [link] [comments]  |
| Pharmacist Potential HIPPA Violation and Deliberate Altering of My Prescription Record (CA) Posted: 01 Oct 2021 09:55 PM PDT I've been using the same retail chain pharmacy for the majority of my life. In the last few months, there have been some major missteps taken by the lead pharmacist. I'm writing here as I need help assessing whether or not I should seek legal counsel in moving forward. A bit of background before we get into the issue at hand. I have a very complex health history (congenital heart disease and SLE, plus other conditions that I don't want to doxx myself by sharing) that is extremely well documented and am a patient at one of the top teaching hospitals in my state. Before I get into this, I just want to quickly and clearly state this issue does not directly involve controlled substances (will explain below), and furthermore, I have not been prescribed or taken any form of opiate in over 5 years (since a major surgery). The last few months have been a challenging time for me health wise. I've had several lupus flare ups with major organ involvement, and just in general lupus causes me daily brain fog and occasional forgetfulness. I say this to help better understand why it took me such a long time to catch the mistakes made by my pharmacist. On 9/14 of this year, I went in to pick up my monthly meds, which are 7 different prescriptions (should anyone want further info on this, happy to provide if it is relevant, just note I'm only on one controlled substance, which is Vyvanse for my ADHD). Everything seemed in order to my tired brain at the time, and I went on my merry way back home. One of my meds is a non-narcotic muscle relaxer, Cyclobenzaprine (generic for Flexril), and I am prescribed 30 pills/month. I have taken this med for 2 years without issue, all sent by the same doctor (my rheumatologist) with the exact same number of pills every single time. The directions on the bottle say to take one pill daily, but I have spoken with my doctor at length and she understands I usually just take as needed—so sometimes, I will go a few days or more between needing one. The last few months, I felt like I was running out of them much faster than usual, but I attributed that to my flare up and forgetfulness and didn't really think a ton of it. On Monday of this week (9/27) I realized I only had 3 pills left (I've been in more pain than usual these last 2 weeks). In a moment of panic, I began to call my doctor, but stopped short when I looked a bit closer at the bottle, which very clearly states that this bottle was only dispensed for 15 pills. This was odd to me, so I went through with calling my doctor, thinking perhaps she had changed it for one reason or another. After a lovely chat with her PA, I confirmed that they never changed my prescription and never spoke with the pharmacy to approve them changing it. She emailed me a copy of the original prescription request, which was sent in June for 6 total fills (the first fill, plus 5 additional ones after that). After we ended the call, I logged on to my [nationwide retail pharmacy chain] online app and went to check my prescription history. Lo and behold, my last 3 fills (7/22, 8/19, and 9/14) were ALL dispensed at 15 pills (so only the June fill was correct). Again, this was clearly documented in my pharmacy app prescription record and I did take a screen shot of this info on my computer. I called up my pharmacy and spoke with a pharmacist tech who told me she had no idea what happened, but I would need to come in and speak with the pharmacy manager about this. I went in the next day, Tuesday 9/28. When I got there, the pharmacy manager was pretty rude to me right off the bat, stating that they never make mistakes. He took about 8-10 min typing away on the computer without saying a word to me, then printed out a copy of the record of this medication, clearly showing I was given 30 pills (instead of the 15 I actually got) for the last 3 months. I, of course, did not have the foresight to bring the screen shot with me, so I decided to log into the app on my phone to show him the difference in information. As I pulled up the info, I was horrified to see that the same record I had seen just hours before now stated that I was given the correct number of pills for each of the last 3 months. At this point, the pharmacist shut me down and told me I was lying, and that he would not believe me until I brought him proof. Fair enough, I realize that there are plenty of people who would try to screw them over and proof was necessary. I had a very busy past few days so I was not able to go back in until this evening. This time I came armed with my screen shot and the 9/14 bottle that clearly states 15 pills. Unfortunately, I do not have the July and August bottles as I toss empties to keep my med cabinet organized, but I digress. My mom was also with me tonight, so I have a witness to back this up. This time, the pharmacist looked over what I showed him and then went back to his computer without a word and printed me out a new prescription record, which states that I received 30 pills in July and August, and 15 pills in September (which is not at all what he had shown me on Tuesday). I asked if I could please have a copy of the record he printed out for me, and he said no. When I asked why I was being denied access to my medical record, he simply said, "because" and further told me that my screen shot was a forgery "in an attempt to get more medication". Before leaving, I asked if he could give me any copy of my medical record, and again was told no, and that I could log on to the app to see my meds (the same app that had magically changed the number of meds in my record after talking to this guy about it). Let me be clear, I wasn't and NEVER asked for more meds or for them to replenish what they had not given me, I was just trying to understand why and how this error had happened. Now, I know this evidence would not stand up anywhere because I live in a 2-party consent state, but because of my forgetfulness, I did voice record both of our conversations so I have audio evidence of all of this (in addition to my mom being present tonight). When I got home this evening, I decided to look into my prescription record a bit further to see if there were any other issues. When I did this, I noticed something that might be important. On 7/23, I had a root canal scheduled. Because I am dental phobic and already dealing with a lot of health stuff, my dentist had prescribed me a single pill of 10 mg valium to help keep me comfortable during the process to be taken an hour before my root canal. He sent this in on 7/22, which is when I picked it up… and conveniently is the same date that my medication suddenly changed from my normal 30 monthly pills to just 15. Now, if it was just the one month where he lowered my dose due to this, I could probably understand, I am a reasonable person and am very aware that pharmacists in CA have the right to deny medications if they think it would be unsafe for you to take. However, continuing this for 2 more months after being given a single Valium for a one-time procedure seems a little absurd to me. Now, my question here is exactly what this behavior constitutes legally. Is it a HIPPA violation for a pharmacist to deny a patient their medical record when asked? I have never been denied by any doctor or health facility ever before in my life. And is what he did considered falsifying my record? I'm more concerned with the fact that I was denied my medical record, but both of these things have me pretty concerned about the behavior of the pharmacist. I'm wondering if he flagged me or something and that's why he didn't want to show me? I always thought that flag status was withheld from patients (I have a friend in recovery) even on their requested records (understandable). Is that the case? And yes, before anyone asks, come Monday I will be switching pharmacies to avoid anything like this in the future. Thank you all for any light you can help shed on this. [link] [comments]  |
| [CA] How to quickly, legally get my friend's daughter away from her mom until she gets treatment Posted: 01 Oct 2021 09:25 PM PDT TW: ED and Addiction Burner for obvious reasons. This is long because there are a lot of moving pieces and I need to get this all out. I've been close friends with a couple for a very long time, and I'm basically their daughter's closest "relative" because the bio family is somewhat distant. Was there when she was born, etc. Going to refer to her as "niece" from here on out, just wanted to clarify I'm not actually biological family. The couple never got legally married but are living together, although the relationship has eroded. Dad is a great & capable parent, but works a fairly low income job that isn't remote. Mom has been unemployed since the pandemic. I want to be clear that Mom is my best friend in the world, a great mom when she's sober and eating food, and I hate having to be so clinical here but we need to do what's best for my niece at this point. I'm kind of shutting it off emotionally. Mom has an end-stage drinking problem and SEVERE anorexia. We also think she has BPD but that's never been diagnosed. She's good at lying & deflecting & that's how it got to this point. The drinking had been bad for a long time, and came to a head about 2 months ago when she decided to quit cold turkey (while also weighing around 90 lbs at 5'5") without telling us. She had a withdrawal seizure - fortunately in public and not at home alone with niece - basically died and was brought back. They then diagnosed her with liver failure and said she would recover, but only if she never drank again and started eating. After the hospital she sobered up for a few weeks, started eating and gained a bunch of weight back, but then hit a drinking trigger and relapsed for second... We had a good week and got her through the danger zone of physical withdrawal again (with her doctor) but now we're back at square one. Between the two of us (mostly dad, who is burned out) we were monitoring her 24/7 and she was doing okay for a week. But frankly, you can't babysit an adult AND a kid 24/7 and work. Dad works on site and took a leave of absence that ends in a week, I WFH but it's a very intense job. I took a few days off here and there for this but I can't help babysit both mom and niece when he's at work and maintain what I need to. She's probably going to die at this point, from either anorexia or alcohol poisoning or DTs. It started with her not eating again and then when Dad left for a few hours today for errands, as a kind of "trust test" he called home to check on mom & niece. Mom was clearly drunk & he raced home. We're kind of at our wits end with how we handle this. When mom is drunk, she's not actively abusive to niece but she'll pass out, fall over, be kind of mean & just generally do things that are traumatizing and unsafe for niece (who is just old enough to start understanding something is wrong). Grandma offered to pay for inpatient for Mom, but Mom won't go and we have no way to force her. Even when she was sober for a bit and had clarity, she was refusing to do a nice bougie inpatient program even though she knew she was still having problems with eating and was very open about it. Our current plan is to get some questions sorted out about custody, etc., ship niece up to grandma, and try to find a way to force her into a court-mandated program. If she survives long enough. I think she has about a week to live at this point, she's probably under 90 lbs even if booze wasn't an issue. I've had to 5150 another loved one during the pandemic and I don't think it'll work for this situation - once she sobers up and promises to eat they're gonna release her. And 5150 is basically just medication jail, it's not going to help her maintain sobriety or eating and we'll be back at square one. I want to be clear that she's had the "right" medical support up until this point - medication, therapy, she was doing group. But none of it is sticking long enough for us to get a plan together other than monitoring her 24/7 and she still won't voluntarily go to inpatient. We get a few good days where she's herself and then it resets. A week ago we were having a good, sober hang even though I was "babysitting" mom as opposed to niece - watching tv, talking like everything was normal again & making plans to take my dog and niece to the dog beach. And she still tried to get booze delivered WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE. I had to search the "groceries" she got delivered because I caught the delivery guy on the way in saying he needed her ID for the alcohol. We had what I thought was a great talk about why she thought she needed to drink, I dumped it out, but then a few days later we were back at blackout drunk phase. Which brings me to some TLDR bullet points & questions: - Mom is not going to eat enough to live or stop drinking unless we do something incredibly drastic, and we can't contain her. She's not safe around her daughter. Dad is very capable of primary custody in the long run, but we need to get long-term daily childcare sorted out as he works hours that don't align with normal daycare - he's out of leave and can't afford to just quit and continue to pay for food, a place to live, etc. There is NO extra money at this point aside from a bit from grandma for either inpatient or taking care of niece for a while. - We got to this point because mom is VERY good at lying and has been lying to her doctors. - Given they aren't married, but dad is on the birth certificate, is there anything in place via CPS that would force her into court-ordered treatment but keep niece with him, uninterrupted? We don't want to traumatize niece further. Can he just take niece and send her to grandma for a bit without it being kidnapping? - Does dad need to get a family lawyer? Is there some kind of broad, legal way to make me a secondary contact for emergencies if mom gets herself into trouble or niece needs it? - Does anyone have any resources for low-income or non profit orgs that help with family law? I am open to any and all ideas here. We're feeling pretty helpless and out of options to get through this. Dad & I have had several talks about making peace with the fact Mom is going to die but we're still trying for niece's sake and holding onto some hope. [link] [comments]  |
| (WA) Can I charge a company storage fee if they fail to pick up their items? (garbage collection) Posted: 02 Oct 2021 11:04 AM PDT Our garbage collection contract ended last week and a different company has taken over. However, the old company has not come to collect their cans. There are 3 cans, garbage, yard waste, and recycling. They told us (our entire neighborhood) to put them out on Sept 30th and they would pick them up. That didn't happen. Then got a robo call saying to put them out on October 1st for pickup. That didn't happen. I received 2 more robocalls in the evening of October 1st and again today, October 2nd, still telling us to put them out on October 1st for pickup. Previous to this, they failed to do a final pickup of our recycling (and have now failed to pick up the yard waste and garbage). I called them 4 times, each time they promised to be out there the next day, but they never showed up. I was told twice I'd get a call back from a supervisor, never did I receive that call. They've been piss-poor service since we moved here (missing a pickup at least once a month). At this point I've got 3 cans of theirs sitting at the end of my driveway. HOA prevents me from leaving them there, so I'll need to put them back in my yard. I already have 3 new cans from the new garbage service company. I'm honestly curious if/how I can start charging the old company a storage fee for storing their cans until they finally decide to pick them up, whenever that may be. Can I do this? And what's the best way to do this? Email? Letter? I'm trying to motivate them to do their dang jobs. I'm not normally an angry person, but this company has actually managed to upset me. lol Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 01:38 PM PDT Hi everyone, My sister is requesting to come into the house I rent and that she's a 1/4 owner of, as am I. She's currently asking me for over $2,500 for things that are 25 years old that were kept there by her and given away by me. I'm offering to pay the FMV. She said she wants to see what's missing. I worry if she comes in the house she'll claim $10,000 worth of things are missing when it's untrue. Is it illegal for me to deny her entry and just set things in the garage that she's asking for? She's previously stolen from the Estate (the house she wants into) and is harassing me. I feel uncomfortable having her in the house, but I feel like I have no rights in this situation. What can I do? It's in PA. [link] [comments]  |
| Dog Attacked Kitten in Kitten’s Yard Posted: 02 Oct 2021 12:04 PM PDT Hello all, I live in Louisiana. Our neighbor to the back is out of town and we (my sister, BIL and myself) are feeding her indoor dogs and outdoor cats. Our neighbor two doors down has two dogs chained up in the back yard as their primary containment (against city ordinances). This morning, one of the dogs got loose and attacked our neighbor's cat. The cat is at the emergency clinic right now. I called animal control and filed a police report. We have the attack on camera. The dog that attacked had gotten loose from its chain before and attacked a human (who lived at the same house as the cat) who had to go to the hospital and get stitches in several places. We have also called animal control because the dogs have gotten loose several times and are aggressive. I plan to request reimbursement from the owner for the vet bills, but I don't plan on seeing any money until I file a suit. Now, my questions are: What steps do I need to take? Send them a demand (is there a certain form or format or wording I need to use?) Then file a civil suit? Also, I feel there is a good case against animal control as well, as we have called on this dog multiple times and it was still in the current owners possession. Can someone please advise? I appreciate your help! [link] [comments]  |
| Can I walk onto a public movie set in the street without legal repercussions?

| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 02:07 PM PDT So lots of the times a robot will tell me this call may be recorded prior to a representative from a company actually coming on the line. Is that sufficient for me to record the call as well? Do I need to tell the representative I'm recording the call? Obviously I should probably talk to a lawyer if I cared a lot, I was just curious.

| [IL] Boss wants to give bonus for meeting goals, but take away money for not meeting goals Posted: 02 Oct 2021 11:44 AM PDT So I'm in Illinois. I don't know if this is necessarily legal what my boss plans to do, however they announced that they will be giving us a bonus for reaching our goals every three weeks. The catch is, if we don't meet our goals every three weeks, we owe them the bonus money. This doesn't sit right with me. Does this make any sense to anyone else? Can they do this? What should my next steps be? Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 01:56 PM PDT FL. As the title says my boss has taken my hours several times since I first came employed. His reasoning for this is because "if you have to go back to a job you got paid for, you should not be paid to go back to that job", which is not unreasonable, however it becomes less reasonable when the equipment we are provided rarely works as intended if at all and we are not paid by the job, we are paid by the hour. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Can I sue an employer I applied to on the premises of discrimination? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 01:56 PM PDT I've been trying to get a job at this one place since 2017, and every time I apply the employer ghosts me and I hear nothing back. Which does not make any sense considering I have the proper skillset and experience. I also have an ethnic-sounding name. Anyway, I applied again in 2017 under a white-sounding name, and immediately I got an email for an interview. I did not bother because I don't want to work for an employer like that. Fast forward, a couple of weeks ago I have been looking for a job and decided to try there again with my real name. I called the company for a status on my application for over a month and still heard nothing back. So, I did what I did back in 2017 and applied under a white-sounding name, and keep in mind when I applied under the white-sounding name I did not put down my experience or even submit a resume. 3 days later I got an email to do an interview next week. I find this extremely unfair as I worked my ass off to get to where I am and can not have certain opportunities just because I have a foreign-sounding name. Can I sue this employer? I am in New Jersey. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 11:40 AM PDT (US - Arizona) I quit my job in April 2021, almost 6 months ago. They never requested their work laptop back. I spoke with my manager a couple weeks later and mentioned it to them, they said they would see what needed to be done and then "probably" send a box in the mail to return it in. 6 Months later I never received any mail from them, nor have I received any emails or phone calls. As far as I can tell they don't want it back (It's a cheap laptop they were planning on replacing in the future) How long do I need to wait before I can safely throw it away without fear of them suddenly deciding they want it and asking for it back? (Worked for a very large company with a huge legal department so I want to make sure I do this right) edit: The office is indefinitely closed so physically returning it in person isn't an option.

| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 01:38 PM PDT About 1.5yrs ago right before I moved out of my house my cat went missing. My first thought was my roommate stole him. I confronted her and she called me crazy. Well, a year and half later her last roommate who just moved out of their living situation contacted me and said she did steal my cat. She gave him to her mother. She gave me the address of where he is living. What can I do about this, how can I make sure I get my cat back? Loc: Maine, US [link] [comments]  |
| Am I (Tenant) Responsible For A Water Leak? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 11:25 AM PDT Hi friends. I'm in NYC and am renting an apartment from the landlord in a condo building. The building superintendent told me a couple times over the past few months that there's probably some leak with the steam trap (something related to the unit's winter steam heater) but I don't need to worry about it until the winter (since they can only fix and test it once the steam is back on). Today he sent me a photo of the unit below's roof which has some discoloration/water damage in one corner related to the leak. I forwarded the email to the landlord and advised him to work with the building superintendent for next steps. The landlord is now asking me about it all and I'd prefer he find a solution directly with the building management and the owner of the unit below. Am I liable for anything here, or am I just a middle-man in this situation (as a renter)? I have renter's insurance as well. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 01:11 PM PDT Hey; I live in Ontario, Canada, and want to set up a will for myself. I'm not sure if I can do it myself or if I need a lawyer? It's mostly money in 2 different accounts. I have some possessions, phones, but no property, cars, etc. I want to leave it for my sister. My family is concerned if I don't put it in writing the government will claim it. [link] [comments]  |
