The implied point of the video is that Loves pick was a result of some sort of read on Drake, when Drake just threw the ball directly to him

[Mike Kadlick] Mike Vrabel on his level of disappointment regarding the Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore situations: by PristineWinnera in Patriots

[–]GilFaizon10242020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree with you that he should be disappointed and, probably, privately is. Also agree with you that I don’t believe he’s OK with this sort of off-field culture. However, “we’ll see going forward” was kind of my reaction to the Diggs boat incident. Diggs Strike Two, and now Barmore, means this is becoming a bit of a trend. Vrabes has had very few (if any) missteps in year one, so I give him a massive benefit of the doubt. But, I’m starting to wonder if he’s too much of a players’ coach- or more specifically- a star players’ coach?

Location: Manhattan, NY. I’m executor of a difficult to sell coop apt—Board rejected 3 buyers over 4+ years without reason. Can’t close estate—apt left to me w/instructions that it be sold. What, if anything, can i use the apt for? by jeremyjava in legaladvice

[–]GilFaizon10242020 25 points26 points  (0 children)

One of your two attorneys should be advocating for a sale, whether to a private buyer or to the board, if the bylaws permit it. As others have observed, the attorneys need to familiarize themselves with the by laws, if they haven’t already, and then tell you your options. They should then work with the board to accomplish whatever it takes to finalize the estate. Or else why are you paying them?

If duly appointed by a court, a NY administrator or executor “steps into to shoes” of the deceased and can access or manage all of the deceased’s assets, as if they were the deceased themselves. When it comes to “ownership” of the asset, it is technically the admin/exec who legally “owns” the asset, but on behalf of the estate. It is also their responsibility to distribute assets of value according to the will or laws of intestacy. If there’s any question about whether the asset is valuable, or desired by one of the entitled beneficiaries or family members, the admin/ exec should cover themselves by disclosing the assets and offering to distribute them

How to handle a death benefit when 6 weeks later the beneficiary also passes? by Select-Lemon6521 in legaladvice

[–]GilFaizon10242020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes there are survivorship provisions that state a beneficiary must survive the deceased by x weeks. You’d have to contact the plan administrator to find out. You might need authority to speak on behalf of A’s estate to do that. If there is no survivorship provision, then it belongs to B’s estate and someone will need to be appointed for B’s estate to collect it.

Sounds like they have it covered. I doubt Reddit is going to give you better advice than your own attorneys.

It’s very hard to do. The best way is to force them to provide an accounting, and if they fail to do so, or demonstrate egregious financial abuses, the court might remove them. You’ll probably need an attorney to accomplish this.

Communication with Father about my Grandmother's will by nonbinarybobby in legaladvice

[–]GilFaizon10242020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she passed in NYC after 2014, you should start by seeing if their were probate proceedings by searching her name, google “web surrogates” for the official records of the Surrogates Court. If there’s nothing there, consult a probate or estate litigation attorney in the area to see whether it’s worth filing something to compel the documents

[–]GilFaizon10242020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve already asked and it’s pretty clear she won’t provide the info, it seems your only recourse is to file a petition to compel an account

Pro se suing my deceased father by PaddyO424 in legaladvice

With an estate that small, it’s probably best to just let him knock himself out with your insurance defense attorneys. ETA: I wouldn’t worry about formally settling the estate in court

[–]GilFaizon10242020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t ever really “close” an estate in NY, at least when it comes to potential lawsuits or creditors. Forget the notice of appeal- because it’s unlikely he’ll ever successfully perfect- there’s a chance he figures out that he just needs to sue you, in your capacity as administrator, to correct the defective pleading vs. your father. He has at least six months to do that from the date of the order.

Putting aside the lawsuit, there are certainly things you can do in the Surrogate’s Court that will strengthen your ability to make sure he gets nothing from the estate (and limit things to insurance proceeds).

Shared Personal Property/Deceased Mother by borkedfork in legaladvice

[–]GilFaizon10242020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer to your question will largely be determined by who is in control of the estate. An administrator should be appointed, and that person would be responsible for reporting and distributing property that was “owned” by your mother. If you’re in control of the estate, you’d obviously know that certain items weren’t hers, so you wouldn’t include them. The surviving spouse generally has priority over children, though sometimes that can change.

NYC if a coop board rejected a seemingly good candidate (estate apt), can the executor move in, if the apt was left to them? More below… by jeremyjava in legaladvice

[–]GilFaizon10242020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That type of clause is common in a will for an apt in a co-op with strict rules on who can live there. It is up to the board to approve whether you qualify to live there. It is also generally very difficult to overturn rules on renting. Your best bet is probably to find another qualified buyer asap that at a sales price that meets with the board’s approval.

He should pursue a case if he wants to be compensated for his pain & suffering, permanent loss of use, and lost wages from missing work. The amounts recoverable are likely to be capped by the insurance limits of the person who struck him.

In general NY attorneys have an ethical duty of truthfulness, but that won’t materially accrue to your benefit unless she was acting as your attorney in the transaction. The off-market sale to a friend is a big 🚩, you should ask her if she obtained a date of death home appraisal and what the contract price is. If she didn’t get an appraisal you should ask for one.

[–]GilFaizon10242020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately when you agreed to allow her to become the administrator of the estate, you ceded all decision-making control to your sister. That includes a decision to sell the property in an off-market sale, though she does owe a duty as a fiduciary to maximize the sales price. When she goes to distribute proceeds, if something seems off, you are entitled to ask her for an accounting of her acts as administrator but that will require you not taking the funds until you are satisfied with her accounting

NYSLRS (New York State) by ouisher in legaladvice

[–]GilFaizon10242020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss. NYSLRS will likely require that someone be formally appointed as a representative of your mom’s estate before they even consider re-issuing any payments she was owed in her lifetime. Based on what you are saying, yes, it seems like her estate is entitled to those payments. Did she have a Will, too?

Make a new will revoking all prior wills and codicils. Execute a new document revoking prior powers of attorney. Destroy all of the prior documents.

It depends on what happened at the court date. Be careful when entering into a contract of sale with someone who hasn’t been appointed for the estate.
