Yes.  A waiver, particualrly a form waiver which is not negotiated and in connection with which the customer had no opportunity to negotiate, can only go so far.  As a general rule (not sure if Ohio is exactly the same) you can waive claims for negligence, but not for recklessness and certainly not for intentional acts.  In other words, if the mats are so slippery form recent sweat that someone slips and falls on them, the waiver may bar a claim.  If you get angry and intentionally knock someone through a wall, it will not. There are obviously a lot of areas in the middle where the outcome is not certain.... Read More

Take a look at Revised Code Section 2333.09. You can file a motion, and ask the court for an order that the debtor be brought in for an examination of the debtor's finances. Typically clerk's offices will even have a simple form you can fill out at the office and file immediately. This alone may be enough to get the debtor to pay.

The short answer is yes, your business can operate in areas and types of business outside your company's stated business purpose.

Thus, in jurisdictions that have adopted the ultra vires standard, any of these actions by a corporation are not binding, since a corporation cannot do more than it is authorized to do. Generally the ultra vires doctrine is a defense to an obligation owed by someone to a corporation.  However, Ohio explicitly excludes the ultra vires doctrine through R.C. 1701.13(H). This provision does not allow for any company to use the ultra vires, or outside of the stated business purpose, defense to void a contract or other obligation owed to your corporation.... Read More

To be appointed executor by a court, a person has to be named executor in the Will.  Location has nothing to do with it, though an out of state applicant may need to appoint an in-state representative (usually the probate lawyer). If the person holding the Will refuses to file it (a criminal offense in many states), your husband can simply hire a local probate lawyer to file an application to determine heirship (assuming that he is an heir).  If the Will gives the uncle more than he would get as an heir, he will likely produce it.  If there is no Will, the property will pass to a surviving spouse and children in preference to siblings. Uncle's threats may be empty.  Many states have an heirs' partition law which requires that heirs buy one another out at fair market value and does not allow shills to bid to deprive the heirs of the value of their inheritance. Talk to a probate lawyer in the county where the person lived and died.    ... Read More
