Law & Ethics - March 2007

In NY State: If a person hurt their back and the Dr put them on paid disability leave for 2 weeks, and then the same person needs to take Family Medical Leave to take care of a sick spouse, does the time they were out of work on disability leave count against the 12 weeks of Family Medical Leave they are entitled to? For instance would they only have 10 weeks of Family Medical Leave left to use? Thanks for any and all replies.

I am the executrix of my father's estate. There is a home estimated at $80,000 market value to sell, a $22,000 nursing home bill, $13,000 funeral bill, and an annuity for $100,000 that was transferred to my brother and myself 6 months before his death. An attorney wants $8,000 to settle this estate. Is there a better and less expensive way to handle this?

It seems that in schools and other places, you aren't allowed to mention God or religion.

In many places having religious displays in public viewing is outlawed.

People have sued schools for having people say the pledge of alliegence because it has the words: "under God" in it.

If we have Freedom of speech and expression, why is this so?

Infowars seems to think they will throw you in jail for not accepting it. Personally? I welcome growing fat in prison, because my crime was not taking a stupid card. Hell! I'll be able to make some great money from it, too! I imagine the autobiography will net few hundred thou on Lifetime, and then there would be the overfictionalized version aired by Hollywood. I wonder who will portray me? Maybe that guy from the Producers, who starred opposite of Matthew Broderick in The Producers... Hmmm...

Really? They cannot and will not arrest and jail people for a fraud of an id card. This is an urban legend, at best, I do believe.

Hi. I am the executor of a will, along with another person. The will is valid but the codicil (an attached list of bequests) was deemed invalid by the probate office. THe will is very straight forward and leaves the estate to the 4 adult children of the deceased. THe codicil left small token bequests to friends and relatives and £15,000 to be split between 10 people.

As executor should I follow the letter of the law and insist the estate is divided between the 4 adult children, or can I carry out the wishes on the codicil as well?

The 4 adult children want to honour the codicil, but would like the estate divided between the 4 of them, as they then wish to distribute the bequests themselves.

I would like to follow the will to the letter of the law and distribute the estate to the 4 adult children, whereas the other executor wants to distribute the bequests on the codicil and is not happy to sign cheques etc.

Please, can anyone advise me what I should do in legal terms?

if after quitting my job my employer is telling people I am "psycho", referring to me as being mentally unstable and telling other employees they are not to talk to me again?

I never did anything wrong. I simply did not like the job and quit but the owner was not happy. And no, I do not have any mental issues.

I find it very insulting that he is doing this and I would like to know if it is probable I could sue him for defamation and win.
