Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio f and this is KFI.
It is a Saturday morning Bill Handle here with the
Legal Show. And this goes on for another hour, and
then I will take phone calls legal questions on the air,
(00:25):
off the air, excuse me after the show, and I'll
tell you all about that a little bit later on
the number eight hundred five two zero one five three four,
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. If
you want to call in and ask me a legal question,
that's basically it just a legal question.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I occasionally said I want to call in and go
you know, bill boxers or briefs. Stop it so legal
questions only some of them really dumb. Now, the dumber
they are, the quicker you're going to get up on
the on the radio. Just a quick word about the
rules here. If you're incredibly dumb, you're up first. We're
pretty close to first. If you are unintelligible, I mean
(01:04):
I can't understand a word you say, that's good. If
you are in some kind of a mental institution, that's fabulous.
Any combination of those, we are up first. The number
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. This
is handle on the law marginal legal advice, where I
(01:25):
tell you have no case. I love class action lawsuits,
particularly against food vendors, and it comes to mind and
I always bring this up whenever there's a class action
suit and somebody calls me, go, well, I want to
file a class action suit, And I okay, Now what
you think you're going to get a pile of money
being the lead plaine If you're not. It's only the
(01:47):
lawyers that make all the money. And so there's a
new lawsuit, class action lawsuit again Subway, because you have
a plant if a person who is now filing the
class action lass. So it's always lawyers that actually do this.
They just have to find lead plaintiffs who get a
little bit more than everybody else in the class, which
(02:08):
means basically everybody in this case. So this one's against Subway,
and this lead plaintiff, Anna Tolison, New York, said she
bought a steak and cheese sandwich at a subway local
subway for seven dollars and sixty one cents and she
opens up the sandwich and finds two hundred percent less
(02:30):
meat than she saw advertised. Now this is in the lawsuit,
two hundred percent less meat than advertised, and I'm thinking, okay,
let's do the math for a moment. One hundred percent
less meat is no meat, So two hundred percent is
twice no meat, which is kind of interesting. I guess
(02:51):
the lawyer didn't do any math. The point is, though,
in these lawsuits happen all the time, advertisements makings, and
so you see not actual size or you see any
kind of disclaimer when you see these great ads and
pictures on boxes, et cetera. The classic one was Kellogg's
(03:13):
was sued because it was they had, you know, Kellogg's
box corn flakes thirty two ounces. I'm throwing the number
out of Kellogg's of corn flakes, and they got sued.
Why because well, the corn flakes settle and so you
open up the package, there aren't thirty two ounces. This
(03:34):
was by volume because they settled, so Kellogg's had to pay,
and they ended up giving anybody who has ever bought
a box of cereals thirty five cents off the next
box or whatever. I mean, something stupid. The lawyers made
millions and millions, so now there are all kinds of
disclaimer disclaimers and is it is subway going to have
(03:59):
to pay or and or are they going to change
the way they advertise and what they you see up
on the screen, you know, when you go in the
menu where that has pictures, don't know, don't know if
they say it's sixteen ounces of meat or eight ounces
of meat and it's six that's problematic if it looks
(04:23):
like there is more meat than what you get. A
similar cases against McDonald's and Wendy's and Taco Bell for
skimping on ingredients. All those cases were dismissed. Why because
you look at a picture and it says in whatever
(04:46):
disclaimer it says that this is you know, I'm trying
to think of a disclaimer that talks about, you know,
not necessarily is it going to look like this. That's
basically in those language. So she's gonna lose. My favorite
part is two hundred percent less meat that she saw advertised. Man,
(05:06):
I don't know how you do that. Okay, some phone
calls Lance, Let's try you again, Hello Lance.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Hello Bell. There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
All right?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Okay, So years ago there was a murder that took
place in the property next door since subsequently changed hands. Yes,
it's now a vacation rental. A murder, I understand as
a material fact. Oh yes, in perpetuity.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Without doesn't know on perpetuity. No, no, nope, three years
that's it.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
No, No, I think you're incorrect.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I am not. California law says three years.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
That is true if it's a death on the property.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
But they said a murder took place next door. That's
not a death.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's a murder. Is a material fact that goes Oh no, no.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
No, not a murder, a death. It's a death, a murder.
All right, then we then I should call you. So
I don't understand what your question is is if you
know it, I'm saying this is you're saying, no, b
what's your question?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
My question is are they under obligation to disclose to
vacation renters?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Vacation I don't think at this point has anything to
do with it. I don't. I don't know if that's
even been litigated as to vacation renters, and that is
not specific as to the law. I know your renters
are that considered a renter a tendency. I don't know
if that's been litigated but you know my understanding. Now
(06:31):
now I have to look it up. No, Bill, you're wrong?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, frankly, I may be and ask me if I care. Now, Okay,
you know I've done this show for decades, and when's
the last time I really really cared?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I don't know? How about never? All right? MJO? MJ? No, No,
you let me do this, John, MJ. What can I
do for you? Hi?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Bill? I have a comment and then a question. The
comment is because of you, I'm gonna go to law school.
Oh don't that that?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh don't MJ.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Please?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
We don't need Yeah, the last thing we need is
a lawyer. Another one.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I'll tell you. What they really do need is they
need people who really know how to make coffee at
coffee shops.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I could use my hotel restaurant degree for that.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Good.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, good for you?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So what can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
I have something. I think I'm going to couch under
a state fraud and I'm not sure what the next
best step is. My mother passed away a few years ago.
Her estate was in what we'll call e trade, and
it had beneficiaries listed and unfortunately, allegedly we'll just do
(07:50):
allegedly across this whole thing, my brother, who was her
custodial while she was alive on that account, went in,
created beneficiaries, mucked with the beneficiary.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, yeah, you can, you can, you can stop, you
can stop right there. Uh, it sounds like fraud right
on it. If he came into her account and he
changed it around to his benefit.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
To his benefit, my detriment. And I also understand with
something like a tray that no one can do anything
through the computer.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay, yeah, that's probably true. And I don't know, and
I don't know if that's you know, it's probably true.
I don't know if that's true or not. But I
don't even think you have to go that far, MJ.
I think the argument is that he went through you
were the beneficiary, He did it arbitrarily. He's the one
that changed it up to his benefit. Yeah, how much
money are we talking about, HMJ?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Dollars?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And that's worth it? All right? You get to go,
you get to hire a lawyer that does securities law
and get going on that, because that, on its face,
that sure looks like fraud to me. And I don't
go to law school here's the other piece of advice. Lawyers.
You know, lawyers don't make money anymore, and it's very
(09:13):
hard to get hired unless you're at the top of
the heap in terms of going to an Ivy League
school at Harvard, at Yale, at Chicago, Virginia. Then then
you get hired and the rest of us. No, why
do you think I had to win? Why do you
think I went out of my own I couldn't get
hire my law firm when I got to law school
(09:37):
because my law school it's no longer in business. Yeah,
it went defunked. What does that tell you? This is
handle on the law. This is on a Saturday morning,
and we actually have some phone lines open, so we're well,
(09:58):
we have a couple of calls, but still it's about
as open as we have been today. So jump in
and the number is eight hundred five two zero one
five three four eight hundred five to zero one five
three four, and you'll zip right in. And I'm here.
This is a last hour, or in this case, it's
(10:19):
the last forty minutes to go till the end of
the hour, and then I'll take phone calls afterwards to
off the air. So just you can hang loose, but
if you want to get in like right now, it's
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. Welcome back.
Handle on the law. Marginal legal advice. Annie, Hello, Annie, Hi, Yes,
(10:44):
ma'am are you good? Are you on a cell phone?
Are you not talking directly into the phone?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, let me put on speaker?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Maybe that would be.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Better, Yeah, because we better. We need a better phone
line in this.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
To be able to hear me.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Now I got to talk a little louder, and you've
probably soft spoken, but yeah, yell into the phone. Okay,
go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
My question is me and my husband has booked the
cruise in July this year for a trip to go
to Japan in twenty twenty five, the end of October,
and I have put down six hundred dollars three hundred
for him, three hundry for me to reserve the space.
(11:35):
And my husband was very very upset. I guess he
found out that he has some I issue and he
did not want to go. So I called the cruise
line and I told him that is it possible to
cancel the trip and refund my down payment? And they
(11:55):
told me that their policy is not to refund and
so your six hundred dollars will be gone.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah, okay, and I just want to know you have
a change, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Hold on, yeah yeah. There's a couple of pieces to
this puzzle, all right. The vast majority of cruise lines,
and I've been on thirty five cruises over my life,
so I have been on a bunch of cruises, and
the policy is full refund if you do it six
(12:29):
months in advance, you cancel, and then it becomes a
partial refunded three months and then there is basically you
have this formula canceling a year in advance. I can't
I don't know of any cruise line that would not
refund the one hundred percent of your deposit this much
(12:51):
in advance. I mean, you're basically a year out. So
I don't quite understand it. So I'm going to ask
you which cruise line are you talking about here?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Hallow America.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Hall in America is a legitimate high end cruise line.
I've been on hal in America and a lot of
Dutch stuff, a lot of people walking in wooden shoes,
so there's a lot of clogging noise. You know. It's
the only thing is you have a hard time sleeping
because there's so many wooden shoes running around. But it
is a good line, so something is not right. You
(13:23):
should be able to get your refund. Now, if the
contract you sign says no refund, you're screwed. You're completely screwed.
And Hall in America maybe it has a different policy.
So you have to look at that initial contract. You
have to look at the booking when you booked it.
Did you book it through did you book it through
(13:45):
a travel agent?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I did not. I book it directly online, okay.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Did you okay? So with it, you have to look
at what their policy says right there, okay, And they
will tell you. If it says no refund of your deposit,
you're completely screwed. If it doesn't, you should get your
money back. Because I don't know if any major cruise
lining that a year out doesn't give you a deposit back.
(14:13):
So read read the document. That's all you can do.
And I'd be thunderstruck if they said a year out, no, no,
we're keeping your deposit. Maybe I don't know. It's been
a lot of years since I booked Hell in America
and I went on the cruise, so I wouldn't sorry
(14:33):
about that, so I wouldn't know. All right, let me
talk about your business for a moment. The less your
business spends on delivering your product or service, the more
money you have, the more margin you have, the more
you make bottom line. And look at the cost of
everything these days, everything is more expensive. Costs have gone up, materials, employees, distribution, borrowing,
(14:57):
going to a restaurant, going to the movies, and so
let me suggest checking in with net suite. You can
reduce costs, you can reduce headaches with net suite. Net
Suite is the number one cloud financial system which brings accounting,
financial management, inventory. If you do that and HR which
everybody does, into one platform, everybody talks to everybody else
(15:21):
on these platforms. So you reduce it costs because first
of all, on NetSuite lives in the cloud, so you
don't have to buy any hardware, and it can be
access from anywhere. I don't know, if you're on vacation
and there's a problem, there's your access instantly. So you're
going to cut the cost of maintaining multiple systems because
you've got one one unified business management suite and so
(15:42):
as you can imagine, you can improve your efficiency, big time,
slashing costs, slashing tasks. Over thirty seven thousand companies have
made this move. So visit NetSuite dot com slash handle
see if it works for you. Obviously there's no downside
to downloading this and see if it works. Probably will
(16:03):
net suite as an office. Suite's NetSuite dot com slash handle.
This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Back.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
We go more Handle on the Law. Hello John, Hello John, Hello, Yes, sir,
go ahead, John.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yes, I was calling in regards to a trust eviction
situation sure by two separate lawyers.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh I understand by two separate lawyers. Explain that to me,
what does that mean.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Well, there's a trust going on. As far as I decedent,
it was a family member. We had been myself and
a co helper had been taking care of for eight years,
and we'd lived in the resident with them, and my
co caregiver was the one the founder. And anyways, it
was almost a year ago now, and we had been
(17:45):
there with her for eight years and accumulating life as
things would go, being in a resident for years. And anyways,
I'm disabled myself, and that was the whole reason. Another
reason we were both jointly living at the same place,
and I had been having issues.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You just sort of just scrambled up a little bit.
You were having issues. What I've been.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Having issues because of my disability. I have a few
line and anyways, I've been trying to do most of
it by myself because I don't have the financial means
to Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What is what is your disability? John?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I've got my spine was fused.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Okay, got it all right?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Limitations, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
No, understand, I understand. Just wanted to know.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Okay, So now we're not trying. It's not that we're
not trying to get out, it's just taking along.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, so you're being at.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, i'd be an evicted because it was somebody named
as an executor in the trust that isn't family any longer.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Okay, did the person die? Are they what I'm assuming? Uh?
The person who wrote the will is dead? Correct? And
the executors throwing you out?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah, that's pretty good it okay, all right, fair enough,
This wouldn't be plowing me out, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So now what.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Anyways, it's got to the point where we had to
go for eviction hearings and stuff because they listed the
houses okay, sixty tenant termination of tendency, being like the
property was being rented, which it has never been rented, Okay,
belonged to the seed I'm a member of a family
member of the decedent.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, got it. So what's your question? You're being evicted
the decedent, who is that dead by definition, has a will,
and you now have the executor tossing you out and
is going to sell the house.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Right, yes, well it's kind of in a discriminatory situation.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Okay, how how discriminatory? How are you being discriminated against?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Well, ever, since when when the seedent passed, there was
supposed to have been a trust put in a specific place.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, but so was there.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
It was not where it was said.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Okay, So well, when you say it was supposed to be,
was that pursuing to a conversation you.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Had, Yes, a number of conversations.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, that means and by the way, legally, conversations mean nothing. Uh,
it's the document that is the controlling issue here. So
you have an executive, by the way, has probate. You know,
the executor can't sell the property until probate has been.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Finished, right, and that's where we're kind of going through that, right.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, So all right, got it.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So what's your question, John, Well, the situation is right now,
we went to the probate hearing just recently for players
actually been being continued again.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
For this okay, So at this point probate hasn't been finalized.
So got it. So you're up in the air. So
what is your question.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
In the meantime, they've put another notice that says that
I have to get out of the.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Partm now not until probate. Now, not until probate has finished.
You can just ignore that.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Well, that's just from the Sheriff's office.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
And they got a judgment, and that doesn't make any sense.
And they got an eviction. They got their eviction, and
something's going on, and so you know, at this point
some lawyer has to dive into this thing, because if
probate has not been finalized, then the executor doesn't have
(21:26):
the right to sell a property, at least my understanding.
So I don't know how they got a judgment. Were
you served? If you were served, and you've gotten an eviction. Noticed,
those hearings are over, you've been served, and there's a judgment,
and the sheriff is saying you got to get out.
I mean, I don't know what else to do at
(21:46):
that point, unless you want to unravel the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Well, no, what the notice says is if I'm going
to retrieve what's still in there, which we've had trucks
moving it, but it's just taken such a long time.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Why did you leave? Hold on a minute, why did
you leave?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I was gone the day they came to drill the lockout.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
WHOA, Okay, now you have Oh you have an unlawful eviction.
Yeah you have. There's all kinds of things. I think
you've got some big rights here, and you've got to
there's no question.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's a land Uh, it's a landlord tenant attorney situation
for you. The very fact that you're a tenant there
and they changed the locks on you, and I don't
know who did it.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I'm assuming that the uh, the executor changed the locks. Uh.
That is an unlawful eviction. That's a wrongful eviction.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
They did that once already.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well, then you have an unlocked and it's time to
get a landlord tenant attorney. It's not simple, I mean then,
there's nothing complex about that. You can't do that. Lily, Hi,
Lily welcome.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Oh yes, yes, I love you. I love you, of course.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
What can I do with Lily?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
What I need to know is I want to be.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, Lily, you have to speak a little louder. I
can barely hear you. You have to yell into the phone. Okay,
hold on, Okay, you gotta change that.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
I want to abandon my trust.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Change?
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well, I don't it's not what I want any Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You want to abandon your trust? You want to change
your trust or just walk away from it.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
I want to walk away from it and just change
the deed on my house.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Okay, okay, let me ask me. Is it a revocable
trust that starters?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Okay, and you are the trustee.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You can do any damn thing you want, Lily. You
can change it. You can just say you don't have
a trust. You can write a will, you can ignore
all of it, and you can die, which most people do.
And it sure sounds like you're close to it. It's
and then it goes by way of intestacy. Then inheritance
(23:57):
kicks in by way of no will. The bottom line is, Lily,
you want to do anything you want right now. You
have a trust. You're the trustee who gets the money
if you die. Daughters okay, and you don't want your
daughters to have the money, and you don't want the house,
and you don't want your daughters to get the money
in the house, et cetera. Right, you want to change it.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
No, I want to get one daughter, okay, get one
on the deed of the house. Okay, then do that you.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Can yeah, of course, of course you can leave. You
can change your trust. So you simply now say one
daughter gets the house, the other daughter gets the money.
You can do that all day long. Yeah. No, it's
not abandoning a trust.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
It's just changing it, which you have the right to
do as often as you want as the trust actually
as uh uh the person who writes the trust a
matter of fact, not even a trustee.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's your trust until you die. Forget about trustee. It's
your trust.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Change it up.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
I go to my attorney to do that.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, probably how much money? How much is the house worth, Lily,
oh four? Okay, and you have money on.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Top of that, well, yeah, that's in a separate bank
account with another beneficiary.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, Yeah, I would have an attorney for the very
simple reason if you die or when you die, and
you have taken one daughter off who was there before.
So if you have two daughters, for example, that were
going to be beneficiaries under the trust, and then you
take one daughter off, what it does is leave open
(25:38):
the daughter who has been left off saying oh no,
my mom didn't really mean that she made a mistake.
She wanted to keep me on there. She was one
hundred and twenty years old, she was coerced, there was
some kind of duress, and that just opens it up.
Not that she's gonna win, but it opens it up.
You want this same airtight air tight? Yeah, Lily, you
(25:58):
want an attorney on this, okay, and it's not that
much money. Attorney, Yeah, you want to You definitely want
to trust an estate lawyer in this one, Lily. It's
a yeah, there's enough there, particularly since you already you're
changing it in one daughter is now in her mind,
getting screwed out of the property, which, by the way,
you have a right to do. You're it's you are
(26:18):
the owner of the trust, You own the property, You
own everything that's there. You can change it all day long.
So that's not that's not a problem. This is handle
on the law, and this is k FI got handle
here on a Saturday morning, last segment of the show. However,
after the show, as I lock out, I will continue
(26:41):
to take phone calls off the air, and you can
I can, boy do I zip through those because there
are no breaks, uh there are. There's no news, no commercials,
no weather, and no patience. You put all of that
together and those phone calls go very quickly. So and
(27:02):
the people that are on phone waiting, if you're on hold,
just hang loose. I will absolutely get to your phone call,
even if I lock out of the show, and the
number as always eight hundred five two zero one five
three four eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
All right, back we go more handle on the news,
excuse me, handle on the law, marginal legal advice. Veronica, Hello, Veronica,
(27:30):
all of bill, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
So, hey, I have a mom, My mom. She's seventy
seven years old. She has various health issues, and she
was throwing up for a few days and she couldn't
keep down food or her medication. I spoke to her
on the phone. I realized that her speech was kind
of slurred, so I asked my brother who lives with her,
to take her to the er immediately. So they were
(27:53):
there from about four to ten o'clock. I later met
them there and her blood pressure was continuing to write,
and so I let one of the people know that
I needed to give her her blood pressure medication, and
so they basically shared with me that if I gave
her any medication during the time that she was there,
that they were going to have the security guard and
(28:14):
escort me out.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Wow, Okay, when you said you told one of the people,
who did you tell.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
She was one of the girls that was admitting and Okay,
so you didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
So this wasn't a nurse, this wasn't a practitioner, this
was someone at the front desk, right right.
Speaker 9 (28:34):
But then we also mentioned to the nurse that she fought.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Okay, okay, that's a little more powerful. All right. So
you said she takes blood pressure medication, and they wouldn't
let you give her blood pressure medication, okay, and what
So it.
Speaker 9 (28:50):
Wasn't until like around six hours later, like ten, a
little past ten o'clock, where they finally gave her her
blood pressure medication. And during that time, actually it wasn't
doing aunt of time. A little bit later they started
giving her the CT scan and ultrasound. Long story short,
during the stay of that hospital visit, she did end
(29:12):
up losing her her ability to move her.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Right arm and her soro.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
So she had a stroke, right, and so she she
was asking the doctor why she couldn't do that, and
so he's like, oh, you've been here for so long,
that's why.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
So she was hang on, all right, I don't you know.
The doctor's obviously spinning like crazy. How is she now?
Speaker 9 (29:38):
She still has not full use of her right arm.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Okay, based on what you say, you got to you
have a very good case for Veronica. Once they were
told she needs her blood pressure medication. I mean, I
can see them not having you give it to them.
I can see them not even using your bottle that
you bring in her medication. But for them not to
give that medication from their pharmacy is crazy. It sure
(30:07):
sounds like malpractice to me, Veronica, based on what you're saying.
I mean, this is uh yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Hi,
she needs her blood pressure medication. Nope, we're not going
to give it. Five hours later, Yeah, we're gonna give it.
She has symptoms, Nope, we're not going to do anything. Yeah, yeah,
you have a case there. It's definitely time for a
(30:28):
malpractice attorney on that one. One hundred percent on that.
Oh hold on a minute, what happened there? Uh Margo, Hello, Margo, welcome.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Hi, I have a trust with my husband.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
No, Margo, let me do this, Margot, Margo, Margo, let
me put you on hold because this is going to
take a while, and I'll pick you up on the
other side. So just hang on, And I want to
tell everybody that just hang on, don't go anywhere. I'll
get back to Margo. And you can call into. First
of all, before we go, let me tell you a
little bit about Zelman's minty Mouth Mints. Zelman's minty Mouth
(31:12):
Mints is about your bad breath, actually taking care of
your bad breath, and what ends up happening with Zelman's
minty mouth mints. As you can imagine minty mouth mints,
it's a little capsule. You pop two or three in
your mouth. The mint disappears after a few minutes in
your mouth, and then you swallow or bite into them,
and the partially seed oil inside the capsules go to
(31:33):
work inside your gut where badre where bad breath can
often start and stay. That's a double hit for Zelman's.
No other mint does that. On top of that, if
you have a stomach issue, it's partially seed oil really
helps in terms of the upset stomach and then you
feel good. So it does a lot of stuff that
(31:54):
mints don't do, goes way beyond that. That's Zelman's Minty
Mouth Mins. Free ship being if you order multiple packs

out and say goodbye, keep in mind that I am
still taking phone calls off the air. I'll start in
just a moment as I say goodbye to you on
(32:37):
the air, and I go through those very very quickly.
So for those of you on the phone, stay put,
and for those of you that are listening, you can
call in the next few minutes. I'll be around. I'm
gonna do this for about half an hour forty minutes,
so everybody gets their questions answered, and I give you
the marginal legal advice that I am so famous for
(32:58):
that you actually pay attention to, which I've never understood.
This is Handle on the law. You've been listening to
the Bill Handle Show. Catch My Show Monday through Friday
six am to nine am, and anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio f and this is KFI.
It is a Saturday morning Bill Handle here with the
Legal Show. And this goes on for another hour, and
then I will take phone calls legal questions on the air,
(00:25):
off the air, excuse me after the show, and I'll
tell you all about that a little bit later on
the number eight hundred five two zero one five three four,
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. If
you want to call in and ask me a legal question,
that's basically it just a legal question.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I occasionally said I want to call in and go
you know, bill boxers or briefs. Stop it so legal
questions only some of them really dumb. Now, the dumber
they are, the quicker you're going to get up on
the on the radio. Just a quick word about the
rules here. If you're incredibly dumb, you're up first. We're
pretty close to first. If you are unintelligible, I mean
(01:04):
I can't understand a word you say, that's good. If
you are in some kind of a mental institution, that's fabulous.
Any combination of those, we are up first. The number
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. This
is handle on the law marginal legal advice, where I
(01:25):
tell you have no case. I love class action lawsuits,
particularly against food vendors, and it comes to mind and
I always bring this up whenever there's a class action
suit and somebody calls me, go, well, I want to
file a class action suit, And I okay, Now what
you think you're going to get a pile of money
being the lead plaine If you're not. It's only the
(01:47):
lawyers that make all the money. And so there's a
new lawsuit, class action lawsuit again Subway, because you have
a plant if a person who is now filing the
class action lass. So it's always lawyers that actually do this.
They just have to find lead plaintiffs who get a
little bit more than everybody else in the class, which
(02:08):
means basically everybody in this case. So this one's against Subway,
and this lead plaintiff, Anna Tolison, New York, said she
bought a steak and cheese sandwich at a subway local
subway for seven dollars and sixty one cents and she
opens up the sandwich and finds two hundred percent less
(02:30):
meat than she saw advertised. Now this is in the lawsuit,
two hundred percent less meat than advertised, and I'm thinking, okay,
let's do the math for a moment. One hundred percent
less meat is no meat, So two hundred percent is
twice no meat, which is kind of interesting. I guess
(02:51):
the lawyer didn't do any math. The point is, though,
in these lawsuits happen all the time, advertisements makings, and
so you see not actual size or you see any
kind of disclaimer when you see these great ads and
pictures on boxes, et cetera. The classic one was Kellogg's
(03:13):
was sued because it was they had, you know, Kellogg's
box corn flakes thirty two ounces. I'm throwing the number
out of Kellogg's of corn flakes, and they got sued.
Why because well, the corn flakes settle and so you
open up the package, there aren't thirty two ounces. This
(03:34):
was by volume because they settled, so Kellogg's had to pay,
and they ended up giving anybody who has ever bought
a box of cereals thirty five cents off the next
box or whatever. I mean, something stupid. The lawyers made
millions and millions, so now there are all kinds of
disclaimer disclaimers and is it is subway going to have
(03:59):
to pay or and or are they going to change
the way they advertise and what they you see up
on the screen, you know, when you go in the
menu where that has pictures, don't know, don't know if
they say it's sixteen ounces of meat or eight ounces
of meat and it's six that's problematic if it looks
(04:23):
like there is more meat than what you get. A
similar cases against McDonald's and Wendy's and Taco Bell for
skimping on ingredients. All those cases were dismissed. Why because
you look at a picture and it says in whatever
(04:46):
disclaimer it says that this is you know, I'm trying
to think of a disclaimer that talks about, you know,
not necessarily is it going to look like this. That's
basically in those language. So she's gonna lose. My favorite
part is two hundred percent less meat that she saw advertised. Man,
(05:06):
I don't know how you do that. Okay, some phone
calls Lance, Let's try you again, Hello Lance.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Hello Bell. There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
All right?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Okay, So years ago there was a murder that took
place in the property next door since subsequently changed hands. Yes,
it's now a vacation rental. A murder, I understand as
a material fact. Oh yes, in perpetuity.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Without doesn't know on perpetuity. No, no, nope, three years
that's it.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
No, No, I think you're incorrect.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I am not. California law says three years.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
That is true if it's a death on the property.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
But they said a murder took place next door. That's
not a death.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's a murder. Is a material fact that goes Oh no, no.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
No, not a murder, a death. It's a death, a murder.
All right, then we then I should call you. So
I don't understand what your question is is if you
know it, I'm saying this is you're saying, no, b
what's your question?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
My question is are they under obligation to disclose to
vacation renters?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Vacation I don't think at this point has anything to
do with it. I don't. I don't know if that's
even been litigated as to vacation renters, and that is
not specific as to the law. I know your renters
are that considered a renter a tendency. I don't know
if that's been litigated but you know my understanding. Now
(06:31):
now I have to look it up. No, Bill, you're wrong?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, frankly, I may be and ask me if I care. Now, Okay,
you know I've done this show for decades, and when's
the last time I really really cared?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I don't know? How about never? All right? MJO? MJ? No, No,
you let me do this, John, MJ. What can I
do for you? Hi?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Bill? I have a comment and then a question. The
comment is because of you, I'm gonna go to law school.
Oh don't that that?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh don't MJ.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Please?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
We don't need Yeah, the last thing we need is
a lawyer. Another one.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I'll tell you. What they really do need is they
need people who really know how to make coffee at
coffee shops.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I could use my hotel restaurant degree for that.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Good.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, good for you?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So what can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
I have something. I think I'm going to couch under
a state fraud and I'm not sure what the next
best step is. My mother passed away a few years ago.
Her estate was in what we'll call e trade, and
it had beneficiaries listed and unfortunately, allegedly we'll just do
(07:50):
allegedly across this whole thing, my brother, who was her
custodial while she was alive on that account, went in,
created beneficiaries, mucked with the beneficiary.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, yeah, you can, you can, you can stop, you
can stop right there. Uh, it sounds like fraud right
on it. If he came into her account and he
changed it around to his benefit.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
To his benefit, my detriment. And I also understand with
something like a tray that no one can do anything
through the computer.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay, yeah, that's probably true. And I don't know, and
I don't know if that's you know, it's probably true.
I don't know if that's true or not. But I
don't even think you have to go that far, MJ.
I think the argument is that he went through you
were the beneficiary, He did it arbitrarily. He's the one
that changed it up to his benefit. Yeah, how much
money are we talking about, HMJ?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Dollars?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And that's worth it? All right? You get to go,
you get to hire a lawyer that does securities law
and get going on that, because that, on its face,
that sure looks like fraud to me. And I don't
go to law school here's the other piece of advice. Lawyers.
You know, lawyers don't make money anymore, and it's very
(09:13):
hard to get hired unless you're at the top of
the heap in terms of going to an Ivy League
school at Harvard, at Yale, at Chicago, Virginia. Then then
you get hired and the rest of us. No, why
do you think I had to win? Why do you
think I went out of my own I couldn't get
hire my law firm when I got to law school
(09:37):
because my law school it's no longer in business. Yeah,
it went defunked. What does that tell you? This is
handle on the law. This is on a Saturday morning,
and we actually have some phone lines open, so we're well,
(09:58):
we have a couple of calls, but still it's about
as open as we have been today. So jump in
and the number is eight hundred five two zero one
five three four eight hundred five to zero one five
three four, and you'll zip right in. And I'm here.
This is a last hour, or in this case, it's
(10:19):
the last forty minutes to go till the end of
the hour, and then I'll take phone calls afterwards to
off the air. So just you can hang loose, but
if you want to get in like right now, it's
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. Welcome back.
Handle on the law. Marginal legal advice. Annie, Hello, Annie, Hi, Yes,
(10:44):
ma'am are you good? Are you on a cell phone?
Are you not talking directly into the phone?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, let me put on speaker?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Maybe that would be.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Better, Yeah, because we better. We need a better phone
line in this.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
To be able to hear me.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Now I got to talk a little louder, and you've
probably soft spoken, but yeah, yell into the phone. Okay,
go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
My question is me and my husband has booked the
cruise in July this year for a trip to go
to Japan in twenty twenty five, the end of October,
and I have put down six hundred dollars three hundred
for him, three hundry for me to reserve the space.
(11:35):
And my husband was very very upset. I guess he
found out that he has some I issue and he
did not want to go. So I called the cruise
line and I told him that is it possible to
cancel the trip and refund my down payment? And they
(11:55):
told me that their policy is not to refund and
so your six hundred dollars will be gone.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah, okay, and I just want to know you have
a change, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Hold on, yeah yeah. There's a couple of pieces to
this puzzle, all right. The vast majority of cruise lines,
and I've been on thirty five cruises over my life,
so I have been on a bunch of cruises, and
the policy is full refund if you do it six
(12:29):
months in advance, you cancel, and then it becomes a
partial refunded three months and then there is basically you
have this formula canceling a year in advance. I can't
I don't know of any cruise line that would not
refund the one hundred percent of your deposit this much
(12:51):
in advance. I mean, you're basically a year out. So
I don't quite understand it. So I'm going to ask
you which cruise line are you talking about here?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Hallow America.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Hall in America is a legitimate high end cruise line.
I've been on hal in America and a lot of
Dutch stuff, a lot of people walking in wooden shoes,
so there's a lot of clogging noise. You know. It's
the only thing is you have a hard time sleeping
because there's so many wooden shoes running around. But it
is a good line, so something is not right. You
(13:23):
should be able to get your refund. Now, if the
contract you sign says no refund, you're screwed. You're completely screwed.
And Hall in America maybe it has a different policy.
So you have to look at that initial contract. You
have to look at the booking when you booked it.
Did you book it through did you book it through
(13:45):
a travel agent?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I did not. I book it directly online, okay.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Did you okay? So with it, you have to look
at what their policy says right there, okay, And they
will tell you. If it says no refund of your deposit,
you're completely screwed. If it doesn't, you should get your
money back. Because I don't know if any major cruise
lining that a year out doesn't give you a deposit back.
(14:13):
So read read the document. That's all you can do.
And I'd be thunderstruck if they said a year out, no, no,
we're keeping your deposit. Maybe I don't know. It's been
a lot of years since I booked Hell in America
and I went on the cruise, so I wouldn't sorry
(14:33):
about that, so I wouldn't know. All right, let me
talk about your business for a moment. The less your
business spends on delivering your product or service, the more
money you have, the more margin you have, the more
you make bottom line. And look at the cost of
everything these days, everything is more expensive. Costs have gone up, materials, employees, distribution, borrowing,
(14:57):
going to a restaurant, going to the movies, and so
let me suggest checking in with net suite. You can
reduce costs, you can reduce headaches with net suite. Net
Suite is the number one cloud financial system which brings accounting,
financial management, inventory. If you do that and HR which
everybody does, into one platform, everybody talks to everybody else
(15:21):
on these platforms. So you reduce it costs because first
of all, on NetSuite lives in the cloud, so you
don't have to buy any hardware, and it can be
access from anywhere. I don't know, if you're on vacation
and there's a problem, there's your access instantly. So you're
going to cut the cost of maintaining multiple systems because
you've got one one unified business management suite and so
(15:42):
as you can imagine, you can improve your efficiency, big time,
slashing costs, slashing tasks. Over thirty seven thousand companies have
made this move. So visit NetSuite dot com slash handle
see if it works for you. Obviously there's no downside
to downloading this and see if it works. Probably will
(16:03):
net suite as an office. Suite's NetSuite dot com slash handle.
This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
This is KFI bill Handle here on a Saturday morning,
last half hour of the Legal Show for Rich Tomorrow
comes to board from eleven to two, and this afternoon
two to five it's Neil Savedra with Fork Report the
Foodie Show tonight seven to nine. Unsolved with Steve Gregory.
Unsolved Crimes Phone number eight hundred five two zero one
(16:43):
five three four. Still have a few lines open eight
hundred and five two zero one five three four and
you will get in.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Back.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
We go more Handle on the Law. Hello John, Hello John, Hello, Yes, sir,
go ahead, John.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yes, I was calling in regards to a trust eviction
situation sure by two separate lawyers.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh I understand by two separate lawyers. Explain that to me,
what does that mean.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Well, there's a trust going on. As far as I decedent,
it was a family member. We had been myself and
a co helper had been taking care of for eight years,
and we'd lived in the resident with them, and my
co caregiver was the one the founder. And anyways, it
was almost a year ago now, and we had been
(17:45):
there with her for eight years and accumulating life as
things would go, being in a resident for years. And anyways,
I'm disabled myself, and that was the whole reason. Another
reason we were both jointly living at the same place,
and I had been having issues.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You just sort of just scrambled up a little bit.
You were having issues. What I've been.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Having issues because of my disability. I have a few
line and anyways, I've been trying to do most of
it by myself because I don't have the financial means
to Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What is what is your disability? John?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I've got my spine was fused.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Okay, got it all right?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Limitations, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
No, understand, I understand. Just wanted to know.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Okay, So now we're not trying. It's not that we're
not trying to get out, it's just taking along.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, so you're being at.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, i'd be an evicted because it was somebody named
as an executor in the trust that isn't family any longer.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Okay, did the person die? Are they what I'm assuming? Uh?
The person who wrote the will is dead? Correct? And
the executors throwing you out?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah, that's pretty good it okay, all right, fair enough,
This wouldn't be plowing me out, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So now what.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Anyways, it's got to the point where we had to
go for eviction hearings and stuff because they listed the
houses okay, sixty tenant termination of tendency, being like the
property was being rented, which it has never been rented, Okay,
belonged to the seed I'm a member of a family
member of the decedent.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, got it. So what's your question? You're being evicted
the decedent, who is that dead by definition, has a will,
and you now have the executor tossing you out and
is going to sell the house.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Right, yes, well it's kind of in a discriminatory situation.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Okay, how how discriminatory? How are you being discriminated against?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Well, ever, since when when the seedent passed, there was
supposed to have been a trust put in a specific place.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, but so was there.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
It was not where it was said.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Okay, So well, when you say it was supposed to be,
was that pursuing to a conversation you.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Had, Yes, a number of conversations.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, that means and by the way, legally, conversations mean nothing. Uh,
it's the document that is the controlling issue here. So
you have an executive, by the way, has probate. You know,
the executor can't sell the property until probate has been.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Finished, right, and that's where we're kind of going through that, right.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, So all right, got it.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So what's your question, John, Well, the situation is right now,
we went to the probate hearing just recently for players
actually been being continued again.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
For this okay, So at this point probate hasn't been finalized.
So got it. So you're up in the air. So
what is your question.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
In the meantime, they've put another notice that says that
I have to get out of the.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Partm now not until probate. Now, not until probate has finished.
You can just ignore that.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Well, that's just from the Sheriff's office.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
And they got a judgment, and that doesn't make any sense.
And they got an eviction. They got their eviction, and
something's going on, and so you know, at this point
some lawyer has to dive into this thing, because if
probate has not been finalized, then the executor doesn't have
(21:26):
the right to sell a property, at least my understanding.
So I don't know how they got a judgment. Were
you served? If you were served, and you've gotten an eviction. Noticed,
those hearings are over, you've been served, and there's a judgment,
and the sheriff is saying you got to get out.
I mean, I don't know what else to do at
(21:46):
that point, unless you want to unravel the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Well, no, what the notice says is if I'm going
to retrieve what's still in there, which we've had trucks
moving it, but it's just taken such a long time.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Why did you leave? Hold on a minute, why did
you leave?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I was gone the day they came to drill the lockout.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
WHOA, Okay, now you have Oh you have an unlawful eviction.
Yeah you have. There's all kinds of things. I think
you've got some big rights here, and you've got to
there's no question.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's a land Uh, it's a landlord tenant attorney situation
for you. The very fact that you're a tenant there
and they changed the locks on you, and I don't
know who did it.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I'm assuming that the uh, the executor changed the locks. Uh.
That is an unlawful eviction. That's a wrongful eviction.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
They did that once already.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well, then you have an unlocked and it's time to
get a landlord tenant attorney. It's not simple, I mean then,
there's nothing complex about that. You can't do that. Lily, Hi,
Lily welcome.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Oh yes, yes, I love you. I love you, of course.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
What can I do with Lily?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
What I need to know is I want to be.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, Lily, you have to speak a little louder. I
can barely hear you. You have to yell into the phone. Okay,
hold on, Okay, you gotta change that.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
I want to abandon my trust.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Change?
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well, I don't it's not what I want any Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You want to abandon your trust? You want to change
your trust or just walk away from it.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
I want to walk away from it and just change
the deed on my house.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Okay, okay, let me ask me. Is it a revocable
trust that starters?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Okay, and you are the trustee.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You can do any damn thing you want, Lily. You
can change it. You can just say you don't have
a trust. You can write a will, you can ignore
all of it, and you can die, which most people do.
And it sure sounds like you're close to it. It's
and then it goes by way of intestacy. Then inheritance
(23:57):
kicks in by way of no will. The bottom line is, Lily,
you want to do anything you want right now. You
have a trust. You're the trustee who gets the money
if you die. Daughters okay, and you don't want your
daughters to have the money, and you don't want the house,
and you don't want your daughters to get the money
in the house, et cetera. Right, you want to change it.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
No, I want to get one daughter, okay, get one
on the deed of the house. Okay, then do that you.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Can yeah, of course, of course you can leave. You
can change your trust. So you simply now say one
daughter gets the house, the other daughter gets the money.
You can do that all day long. Yeah. No, it's
not abandoning a trust.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
It's just changing it, which you have the right to
do as often as you want as the trust actually
as uh uh the person who writes the trust a
matter of fact, not even a trustee.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's your trust until you die. Forget about trustee. It's
your trust.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Change it up.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
I go to my attorney to do that.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, probably how much money? How much is the house worth, Lily,
oh four? Okay, and you have money on.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Top of that, well, yeah, that's in a separate bank
account with another beneficiary.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, Yeah, I would have an attorney for the very
simple reason if you die or when you die, and
you have taken one daughter off who was there before.
So if you have two daughters, for example, that were
going to be beneficiaries under the trust, and then you
take one daughter off, what it does is leave open
(25:38):
the daughter who has been left off saying oh no,
my mom didn't really mean that she made a mistake.
She wanted to keep me on there. She was one
hundred and twenty years old, she was coerced, there was
some kind of duress, and that just opens it up.
Not that she's gonna win, but it opens it up.
You want this same airtight air tight? Yeah, Lily, you
(25:58):
want an attorney on this, okay, and it's not that
much money. Attorney, Yeah, you want to You definitely want
to trust an estate lawyer in this one, Lily. It's
a yeah, there's enough there, particularly since you already you're
changing it in one daughter is now in her mind,
getting screwed out of the property, which, by the way,
you have a right to do. You're it's you are
(26:18):
the owner of the trust, You own the property, You
own everything that's there. You can change it all day long.
So that's not that's not a problem. This is handle
on the law, and this is k FI got handle
here on a Saturday morning, last segment of the show. However,
after the show, as I lock out, I will continue
(26:41):
to take phone calls off the air, and you can
I can, boy do I zip through those because there
are no breaks, uh there are. There's no news, no commercials,
no weather, and no patience. You put all of that
together and those phone calls go very quickly. So and
(27:02):
the people that are on phone waiting, if you're on hold,
just hang loose. I will absolutely get to your phone call,
even if I lock out of the show, and the
number as always eight hundred five two zero one five
three four eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
All right, back we go more handle on the news,
excuse me, handle on the law, marginal legal advice. Veronica, Hello, Veronica,
(27:30):
all of bill, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
So, hey, I have a mom, My mom. She's seventy
seven years old. She has various health issues, and she
was throwing up for a few days and she couldn't
keep down food or her medication. I spoke to her
on the phone. I realized that her speech was kind
of slurred, so I asked my brother who lives with her,
to take her to the er immediately. So they were
(27:53):
there from about four to ten o'clock. I later met
them there and her blood pressure was continuing to write,
and so I let one of the people know that
I needed to give her her blood pressure medication, and
so they basically shared with me that if I gave
her any medication during the time that she was there,
that they were going to have the security guard and
(28:14):
escort me out.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Wow, Okay, when you said you told one of the people,
who did you tell.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
She was one of the girls that was admitting and Okay,
so you didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
So this wasn't a nurse, this wasn't a practitioner, this
was someone at the front desk, right right.
Speaker 9 (28:34):
But then we also mentioned to the nurse that she fought.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Okay, okay, that's a little more powerful. All right. So
you said she takes blood pressure medication, and they wouldn't
let you give her blood pressure medication, okay, and what
So it.
Speaker 9 (28:50):
Wasn't until like around six hours later, like ten, a
little past ten o'clock, where they finally gave her her
blood pressure medication. And during that time, actually it wasn't
doing aunt of time. A little bit later they started
giving her the CT scan and ultrasound. Long story short,
during the stay of that hospital visit, she did end
(29:12):
up losing her her ability to move her.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Right arm and her soro.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
So she had a stroke, right, and so she she
was asking the doctor why she couldn't do that, and
so he's like, oh, you've been here for so long,
that's why.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
So she was hang on, all right, I don't you know.
The doctor's obviously spinning like crazy. How is she now?
Speaker 9 (29:38):
She still has not full use of her right arm.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Okay, based on what you say, you got to you
have a very good case for Veronica. Once they were
told she needs her blood pressure medication. I mean, I
can see them not having you give it to them.
I can see them not even using your bottle that
you bring in her medication. But for them not to
give that medication from their pharmacy is crazy. It sure
(30:07):
sounds like malpractice to me, Veronica, based on what you're saying.
I mean, this is uh yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Hi,
she needs her blood pressure medication. Nope, we're not going
to give it. Five hours later, Yeah, we're gonna give it.
She has symptoms, Nope, we're not going to do anything. Yeah, yeah,
you have a case there. It's definitely time for a
(30:28):
malpractice attorney on that one. One hundred percent on that.
Oh hold on a minute, what happened there? Uh Margo, Hello, Margo, welcome.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Hi, I have a trust with my husband.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
No, Margo, let me do this, Margot, Margo, Margo, let
me put you on hold because this is going to
take a while, and I'll pick you up on the
other side. So just hang on, And I want to
tell everybody that just hang on, don't go anywhere. I'll
get back to Margo. And you can call into. First
of all, before we go, let me tell you a
little bit about Zelman's minty Mouth Mints. Zelman's minty Mouth
(31:12):
Mints is about your bad breath, actually taking care of
your bad breath, and what ends up happening with Zelman's
minty mouth mints. As you can imagine minty mouth mints,
it's a little capsule. You pop two or three in
your mouth. The mint disappears after a few minutes in
your mouth, and then you swallow or bite into them,
and the partially seed oil inside the capsules go to
(31:33):
work inside your gut where badre where bad breath can
often start and stay. That's a double hit for Zelman's.
No other mint does that. On top of that, if
you have a stomach issue, it's partially seed oil really
helps in terms of the upset stomach and then you
feel good. So it does a lot of stuff that
(31:54):
mints don't do, goes way beyond that. That's Zelman's Minty
Mouth Mins. Free ship being if you order multiple packs

out and say goodbye, keep in mind that I am
still taking phone calls off the air. I'll start in
just a moment as I say goodbye to you on
(32:37):
the air, and I go through those very very quickly.
So for those of you on the phone, stay put,
and for those of you that are listening, you can
call in the next few minutes. I'll be around. I'm
gonna do this for about half an hour forty minutes,
so everybody gets their questions answered, and I give you
