Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listenings KFI AM six forty. The bill handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. This is handle on
the law marginal legal advice where I tell you you
have absolutely no case.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
There is something called prediction markets. I mean this is
kind of new, actually it is new now. It used
to be that when you were betting, let's say, it
was usually sports events you were betting, and prior to
the Internet and these betting apps, the only way you
could legally bet were in states where it was allowed,
(00:39):
and in California, for example, you could not bet unless
you were in a casino, which they opened up, and
prior to that you couldn't bet at all. Lottery you
can because that's legalized. And so the sports books opened up,
and prior to that it was either a bookie that
you or ill legally betting always sporting events, or it
(01:04):
was through a legalized sporting facility or betting facility like
a casino.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
So something came.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Up, a new app, a new way of betting called
prediction markets polymarket Kyle.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
She is another one where.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Effectively you bet on anything, anything that's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
When are we going to attack Iran?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
When is the government going to change the rules of
the irs? How much money is Amazon going to make
or declare next year in terms of profits. I mean,
you can literally bet on anything, which, okay, you know
it's prediction betting. And then there's been some scandals in
the government where you had government employees betting on stuff
(01:55):
that they actually had things to do with. Also, you
had some executives in various companies betting on how much
money they're going to declare they have made, and they're
the ones that are part of that decision making or
that part of that information.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So that's illegal. Well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Was illegal on prediction markets, betting on wildfires when it's
going to start, how much acreage is going to be burnt,
how many firefighters are going to be sent from, what
countries are they going to be sent. Everything involving wildfires.
You can do prediction markets, prediction betting. Now, doesn't that
(02:37):
sound a little ridiculous because isn't there a motive, for example,
I don't know, to burn stuff up and bet that
a fire is going to start in a certain place prediction,
that's my prediction, and all of a sudden it starts
in that place. You think there's a motivation for you
to get involved in that or start the fire in California,
(02:58):
realize that, and it's kind of interesting that there are
no guard rails. The nine lawmakers, including two California Senators,
Alex Padilla and Adam Shift, say this is crazy, and
they're urging the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which controls this,
to implement what they're calling common sense guardrails to prevent
(03:21):
people from profiting off the suffering and devastation on digital
gambling sites, prediction gambling sites. It's kind of hard to
believe that predicting natural disasters is excluded from well, that
wildfires are excluded from natural disasters.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's crazy. They didn't include wildfires.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So this happened la of course, you know the Palisades
fire what ended up happening at Murder Palisades, and you know,
thirteen thousand homes and businesses were burnt. So you can't
bet on when a fire is going to start. No
chack ants. Okay, uh, let's go ahead and take some
phone calls Tristian or Tristan, Hello, Tristan, what can I
(04:09):
do for you?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
There? Yes for taking that call?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Sure, wanted wanted to know about uh my rights as
a tenant of a I can't speak, apparently, and I
have a show.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I live in a dilapidated home. And now well, now
it's been going on for a while. There's lactoins that
have uh set up camp inside the interior of the
there are.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Hold on, hold on, and understand that there are what
that have set up uh in your home.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Raccoons.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Oh, raccoon, raccoons. Where do you live, Tristan?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I live in uh Missouri?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Oh, small town. Don't they eat raccoons?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh, well, okay, but that's uh, you know, I know
raccoons are a big staple in the high end restaurants
in Missouri and some places. Okay, so now all right,
raccoons are set up home in your home? All right,
fair enough?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
What else?
Speaker 7 (05:12):
And and well there's water damage, there's black mold.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Oh okay, all right, got it?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Your place is a mess. Have you talked to the landlord.
Have you told the landlord You've got a few problems here? Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Yes, okay, here's I've taken there.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Okay, right, okay, here your rights here, he writes. First
of all, you can stop paying the rent, Just stop, Okay.
I would also consider call building in safety. Uh the
safety people that every.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Every you didn't call inspects and what happened and what happened?
See this city, it's all you know. Run, I don't know.
It's a bad city where I live.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
And uh, basically overnight they put it for sale sign.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
And didn't even they haven't even advis me that it's
for sale.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Okay, they don't have to advice. They don't have to
advise you it's for sale. What they have to do
is simply give you notice. Have you been given notice to?
Have they given you notice to to facate the property?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Okay, well they can't.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Do you have a lease a month to month?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Now that means you.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Don't have a lease, so they have to give you
whatever the laws are in Missouri as far as notice.
If there's a month to month, which means there's no lease,
like California law sixty days, a tenant has to be
given sixty days when there is no lease to get out.
I'm assuming Missouri has much the same kind of law.
And even if it doesn't, they have to evict you
(06:42):
and you're out on your butt. Now they're going to
sell the place. I mean how I don't know who
they're going to sell it to. And inspector comes in
black mold raccoons, that's I'm sorry, who can't pay you?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
You know, it can't pass inspection, right, going to be
able to sell it?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So they're just so what they do. So they should
have just evicted you. If it can't be sold, why
would they put it for sale?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Sign up?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
They would just evict you. And there are also some damages.
You can go after them for living in a facility
with black mold. Let's not forget raccoons, and there are
statutory that means the law probably allows you to be
paid damages. What I would do is contact a landlord
tenant attorney. There's plenty of them out there. And if
(07:30):
you're old and poor, which you sound okay, yeah, you
sound like you're old, but I didn't know about poor.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well, you're welcome. Now you're welcome. No, I understand that.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, I'm surprised you didn't say. And I'm eating the
raccoons because I don't have any money. There are lawyer,
there are lawyers out there. You just have to do
a little bit of searching that will represent you for free,
and you can call the local bar association and just say,
here's my situation. Who can I get to represent you?
Because you may be entitled some money for sure. For Yeah,
(08:02):
there's all kinds of issues going on you as a tenant,
of course, you have rights. Now, Let's say you've been
injured in a car accident, right, or a slipping fall.
You're at a hotel and there's some grease on the
floor and you take a flyer, or there are some
stairs and they're not properly, they don't meet code, and
there you go take a spill, not your fault, you're injured,
(08:24):
or you get rear ended. Oh, you go to a
big box store and a big box falls on your head.
So what ends up happening, Well, all you can do
is get money. At that point, there's not much more
you can do, and you want to get the maximum
amount you can get that you deserve.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
And this is where it pays.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Although you don't pay for it, it pays to get
an attorney representing you because you're going against insurance companies
who are experts at not paying you. You're way out
of your league and you can't do this on your own.
I think you really need the help, so let me
suggest handle on the law dot Com. Handle on the
Law dot Com attorneys who are vetted who if there's
a problem, I make the phone call. And on top
(09:02):
of that, they are experts at what they do. Otherwise
I wouldn't let them go on Handle on the law
dot Com. You can call eight eight eight eight eight
eight eight sixty six eight a day eight eight eight
eight eight sixty six eight injured not your fault. Handle
on the law dot Com. This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Handle on the Law. Kevin, Yes, Kevin morning, Bill, Yes, sir.
Speaker 10 (09:32):
We booked a European cruise back in May from Barcelona
to Rome and it was to include in a shore
excursion in every port. Well, you pay your deposit, you
pay the balance, and you can start booking your shore
excursions four months before your trip. So when it comes
time to book our shore excursions, we get to Rome
and there's no excursions available. So then you look at
(09:55):
the tenerar and it says you've arrived in Rome, say
goodbye to your shipmates and head to the airport to
fly home. So I'm kind of confused how a trip
from Barcelona to Rome that doesn't include a day in
Rome is not.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Because it doesn't include it.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It doesn't include a day in Rome because you get
off the ship in the morning, you're off the ship
and you're done.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
But why would it say, you know, Barcelona Rome, you
would presume you get it.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You would resume at all, because you know, you know
when you're getting off the ship and they're not going
to give you a.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Tour after you're off the ship.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
When they say bought Barcelona to Rome, and I've done
that trip, by the way, it ends in Rome, and
so you get your shore excursions. I mean, Kevin, you presumed,
you assumed that there was a shore excursion. But when
they say there's a score a shore excursion in every city.
(10:50):
Rome is just when you get off the ship, that's it.
It's a goodbye. So there there ain't nothing there. No,
that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
That's what they do. And you're off the ship at
eight o'clock in the morning or nine o'clock in the morning.
And yeah, so that doesn't work. Oh okay, let me
see who I want here?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Uh okay, Dawn, Hello, down, Welcome.
Speaker 11 (11:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 12 (11:15):
Hey, my girlfriend is sixty two, just diagnosed with stage
one lung cancer and she's trying to get her affairs
in the order. Well hopefully we got cesars side and night,
so hopefully, you know, things are pretty sunny for that small,
you know, further stage cancer. But nevertheless, what she's worried
about is she was on medical for about five years
(11:35):
and she's worried about when she passes, the state coming
after her you know, her estate, the state coming after
her estate for the money they gave her for medical.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Well, yeah, well medical is when you're broke and when
you apply for At that time, did she did she
put down the fact that she owned a home.
Speaker 11 (11:57):
I don't know whether she did or not.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It was about well, I'm assuming if if she put down,
they get the home. Because you have to have no
assets in order to be eligible for medical. I mean
it's for poor people with no assets, and so the slips.
Speaker 12 (12:13):
You yeah, yeah, yeah they will.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Can you what if you what if you have you know,
a trust.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Or have it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
The trust doesn't The trust doesn't matter unless it's an
irrevocable trust, which means, uh, it's out of her out
of her hands completely. It's in a trust to which
she has absolutely no control. Gone, yeah, it's gone.
Speaker 12 (12:36):
Yeah, they would they wouldn't come after it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
No, not if it's no.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Not if it's an irrevocable trust, that means a trust
that's strangely enough, irrevocable.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So yeah, when you're poor, I mean, they're pretty tough
because the state is paying for it. We're paying for
it if we're in the state. Uh, that is the problem. John, Hello, John,
you're up.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Welcome.
Speaker 11 (12:59):
Hey, hi Bill, Yeah, a longtime resident from Burbank. Uh, huh, Bill,
you're there.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I'm here, Okay, cool teamster, Hollywood teamster.
Speaker 11 (13:09):
Anyways, I want to get straight to the point. I know,
I know, we only got about sixty seconds for this.
Speaker 13 (13:14):
So between shows, when i'm you know, I'm doing movies,
I drive lift. So I was driving the Lyft and
I picked up this guy and he started vaping in
the back of my car marijuana, and I was like, hey, dude,
you can't do that, So I stopped the ride. He
called Lyft and said that I brandished a gun and
they deactivated my account. False allegations. I try to assume
(13:36):
him in small claims court lost?
Speaker 11 (13:38):
That is there anything I could do?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No, Well, first of all, sing you in a small
claims court for what for being deactivated?
Speaker 8 (13:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
All you the wages. They didn't even pay you the
wages that were due to you at that time.
Speaker 11 (13:52):
I got paid, Yeah, like twenty bucks for that ride.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Okay. How much would you have gotten paid prior to
throwing him out?
Speaker 13 (13:59):
Well, I mean I think what I tried to sue
for was lost wages.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
How do you how do you prove? How do you
prove lost wages?
Speaker 11 (14:08):
I go, I got deactivated, I understood.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So how much you're suing for money I would have made?
You would have made over what period of time for
the next.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Year, for the six months six months?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Did you get paid for four to six months? Did
they stiff you for four to six months?
Speaker 12 (14:24):
Well?
Speaker 11 (14:24):
Yeavate deactivated my account.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I no, there's deactivating and there's getting paid. Did they
pay you? The's two issues?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
They deactivated you. You're out, You're done, you can't you
can't drive for lift anymore.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Did they pay you up to that point that you
are earned, that you earn the money?
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Okay, So now you're saying I want money that I
would have made even though I don't know how many
trips I would have taken. I don't know how many
trips I would take. I don't know how many hours
I would drive. I don't know if I was working
on a movie and I wouldn't drive. How much money
do you think you could ask for?
Speaker 11 (14:58):
I was going for the maxim and Small Claims Court.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Twelve five hundred dollars correct, that's how much you would
have made if you were deactivated over what period of time?
Speaker 11 (15:07):
Over six months?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Okay, okay, but you're no longer driving.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
They deactivated you, which they can, by the way, it
may not be fair, but they deactivated you, so you
can prove that you would have made this kind of money.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
Of course, how do you do how.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Do you do that based on your history? Huh?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So you used to make one hundred dollars a day
and now you're saying I would still keep on driving
even if I'm on a movie.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I would keep on driving with lyft. Is that correct?
Speaker 11 (15:34):
No? No, I on the side.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Okay, do you understand how speculative that is? Do you understand?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
It's like me swing if I'm swinging NASA? Now, if
a piece of a spacecraft came off and took my
head off.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
This is how much it worked.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But it hasn't yet and you don't know if it's
ever going to. So you got nothing there. I mean, no,
it doesn't work that way. And once you've lost, you've lost.
By the way, if you're a plaintiff, all right, let's
talk about your privacy. Losing that your privacy. If you
think your privacy online exists, it does not exist. It's
all out there and anybody can grab it. I'm talking
(16:14):
about your home address, where you work, where you bank,
what you buy, where, court records, DMV information, credit scores.
I mean, it's all out there, and data brokers collect
that because it's very easy to collect. So there you
have hundreds of data brokers collecting your data and then
selling it to anybody who wants to buy it, even
the bad guys. So what do you do about protecting yourself? Well,
(16:36):
there's a company calling Cogniti, which I'm a customer Cognity.
What they do is they contact hundreds of these data
brokers and there are hundreds and legally demand that your
information be deleted. That's what Incogniti does. And before every show,
I log on mine Incognita account, and there they are.
Hundreds of removal requests have been completed, hundreds more are
(16:58):
in progress. In cognit, you can take your life, your
data base, your privacy back. Get sixty percent off when
you use my name handle. So go to incognate I

Speaker 3 (17:15):
This is handle on the law.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
You're listening to Bill handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
This is handle on the law. Chuck, Hello, Chuck.
Speaker 11 (17:28):
Yeah, sure, yes.
Speaker 14 (17:30):
In nineteen eighty three, my second wife passed away and
she had indicated that she wanted to be buried at
a particular cemetery, one of the oak trees. So she
dies unexpectively. We go there, We find the last plot
they said available under those trees, So we do the
whole nine yards.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
We do.
Speaker 14 (17:47):
You know, she's buried there. We did the graystone, the casket,
the whole nine yards. So I live in a different
part of still in California now, so it's been years
since I had been out there, and I happened to
meet someone for lunch recently, and I said, well, let
me go over and visit my second.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Wife's grade bill. They moved the grades and.
Speaker 14 (18:06):
I got a document I got a documentary on them
telling me the plot number. Yeah, I know that, and
now the grades out by a curb by the streets
to come at that is interesting. What would you do?
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
No, what I would do is I'd sue them, is
what I would do. Uh. And for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
First of all, when it comes to those circumstances graves, burials,
et cetera. Uh, the amount of money is pretty astronomical.
For example, emotional support. It was very difficult to get
emotional support in lawsuits early on, and it took, for example,
like a mother seeing her child run over and I'm
(18:47):
not emotional support, emotional damages. It took things like a
mother seeing her child run over and so emotional damages
kicked kicked in because it used to be had to
be physically injured plus have emotional damages. That's the only
time they connected. But a couple of examples went the
other way. One is that mother situation. The other one
(19:09):
is dealing with family members at cemeteries burials, And it
actually started when the casket was being brought to the gravesite.
The pall bearers were there and the bottom of the
casket fell out and there's Uncle Maury now rolling down
the hill. And that that became a big lawsuit. So
you're dealing with serious emotional damage as a result of
(19:33):
them placing your ex wife or your wife at that
time into a grave that was not the one you bought. Yeah,
it's time for a lawyer. It is time for a lawyer,
because those can be pretty pretty big damages. They can,
you know, I would go to the website, go to
handle on the law dot com and talk to one
(19:53):
of the lawyers. I don't know if personal injury under this, well,
it would be because it's seriously emotional damage.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I don't know if you've been to a shrink which
helps a lot. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
There's a bunch of avenues here, but it can get
pretty serious.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
That When my mother died, quick story.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
When my mother died several years ago, we went to
She died at ninety eight, so she was no youngster.
And when we went to the gravesite, the mortuary folks
connected to the cemetery said we did not get anybody
to identify her, not that we had to because she
(20:31):
died in a facility at ninety eight, no one's going
to argue. And the lady said, would you do you
mind identifying her, just to gross the t's and dot
the eyes, And I said, yeah, I'll go over there.
My ex wife at that point stopped me cold and said,
you're not going over there. I'm going to do it,
(20:51):
because she knew that as soon as they opened the casket,
I would look down and say, that's not my mother.
You have someone else in that casket. That would be
huge emotional damages. Now, of course it was my mother,
but it was Had it not been my mother, it
would have been a huge, a major lawsuit. So anyway,
(21:12):
I suggest you grab hold of a lawyer because I
think that that is that's that's actually a case, that
that really is. Now, let's talk a moment about being injured.
An easy one. If you've been in a car accident.
I mean, let's say you're rear ended, you've been t
boned and it's obviously not your fault, and you've been injured.
(21:33):
That's important, and so what do you do. Well, you're
going after the person who harmed you, and generally the
insurance company on that person's side, and you'll get to
probably get a phone call if you don't have a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah, what's the phone call. Well, we'll pay your medical bills.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
We'll pay your any car damage, and then we'll give
you some money, not very much money, a little bit
of money. Well, the point is these guys are experts,
not paying you money. So you get a lawyer and
there's no money up front. By the way, you're not
writing any checks to the lawyer. A lawyer represents you
and gets the max what you deserve, what you can
(22:10):
get and should get, because it's only about money at
that point. And so let me suggest going to handle
on the law dot com for that lawyer. Handle on
the law dot Com. Now, a lot of lawyers are
out there advertising who you go to. And by the way,
some are great, some are not so great. So that's

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
So yeah, and thank you for your advertisers that keep
your show going. It's you know, you have a great show.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
My main, my main question is this and the Lemon law.
Explain that to me.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Okay, Lemon law, if the Lemon law is different in
every state. Lemon law in California is that you buy
a car and there's no specific amount of times you
bring it back, but it's basically a defective car where
it has to go back a certain number of times
to get repaired and they can't repair it. Or the
(23:43):
car goes back and let's say they do repair it,
but they do it a bunch of times. And what
you do is you get your money back or you
get a brand new car. And without that Lemon law,
it is almost impossible to get money refunded or get
a new car because I don't know if you've ever
dealt with a car dealership, it is horrific. In this case,
(24:05):
you're going after the manufacturer of the car. And uh
if if the court holds that the Lemon law applies.
And this is why you really need a Lemon law expert.
Uh these people. It's a very very specialized field of law.
And there's a lot of uh eyes to dot and
crosses teas to cross and dot your teas. I know
(24:28):
that phrase somewhere and that's h and you don't And
by the way, you don't pay for the attorney. Uh,
the attorney is paid Yeah, I know. The attorney is
paid for by the manufacturer. So that's an easy PC one.
The only difficulty is actually uh being able to uh
(24:48):
not only apply the Lemon law, but the Lemon law
being attributed to your problem. And so that's how you
do it. But you have a car, you have a
car this Lemon.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Yeah, I I mean I bought the car from I'm
not going to mention the company, but I felt that they,
you know, there was a little shadiness there. But it
enterprise rent a car, so you know, be careful. They
only give you like a twelve month ward Key, it's
not very good.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well yeah, okay, but now let me ask you, I
don't know if the Lemon law applies where it's much
more difficult to apply when you're talking about buying a
used car. It doesn't matter from a dealership or not,
because at that point it too much stuff has happened.
It's not a brand new car. Usually Lemon law applies
(25:36):
to brand new cars. It can't apply to it.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Yeah, that's good to know.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The war and the warranty is very different than the
Lemon law. So yeah, and I don't know. I've never
bought a car from enterprise. You may have just gotten
a lemon that does not comply with Lemon law. In
other words, it's it's not covered by the Lemon law.
You could still get Alemen. It happens. You know, I
(26:01):
bought cars before you. Yeah, and the good news is
you're buying a used car from a reputable place to
buy a used car from. That's why whenever I bought
a used car, and I bought lots of them, I
always do it out from a dealer because.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
It's dealers go through it.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They're careful buying it from a third party you're completely
out of your mind.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Nuts. Okay, I hope that answered it now. Oh wow, Seas.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Wait, this is what happened at the end of the hour,
and this happens to us occasionally. We've gone through all
the phone calls and I still have a few minutes
to go, so let me suggest jumping in before I
say goodbye. And the number is eight hundred five two
zero one five three four. As you can imagine, it's
not going to take very long for you to come
in like immediately. Eight hundred five two zero one five
(26:51):
three four is the number, and we are getting one
or two calls. Okay, Susan, Hello, Susan, welcome.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
I have a living trust which my Hestan and I
had opened in twenty ten. Most of the stock within
both our names, but nine of the stocks were only
in his name. I thought that the living trust which
mentioned stock made it easy no probate. The money goes
(27:22):
to me as a wife, as a beneficiary, as a
co owner. And they're still dragging their feet.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, they are dragging. I'll tell you why. Hold on,
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
First of all, if the stocks are not in the trust,
if the trust does not own the stock it does
not go through the trust.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
It doesn't, so you have to open a probate.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Now I'm assuming that the beneficiary of that stock when
they sell.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
It is you, and so that makes it easy.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But don't think that you made it easy for yourself
with the trust, because not putting in the trust is everything.
I have a trust, and what I don't have in
the trust does not flow out of the trust.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
The trustee can't touch it because.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
It states in the in the living trust, including stock.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, well what kind of stuff it doesn't. It can
state any It can state anything you want.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
It can state my fifty seven Oldsmobile is included in
the trust. And if it's not, if it's not in
the trust, I mean transfer ownership, transfer to the trust.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I get it. I get it. It has very very
nice cash.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Okay, then go ahead and just work with the bank.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Now they say no more.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Good okay, But you have.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
To all right, but you have to open You have
to start talking to a bunch of people, the stockbroker
who handles the stock, the people who actually you own
the stock of the company that the stock is bought in,
and you just have to go through the hoops. You'll
be fine, it just takes you a while, that's.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
All I know.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
They'll do it. You'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Now, last spot, I want to share with you before
we bail out of here, and that's your privacy, as in,
you have none online because everything about you is online,
home address, where you work, or your bank, what you buy,
where you buy a DMV information, I mean all of it.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
And it doesn't get any better than that. And I'll
tell you why.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Because this is that information is collected by hundreds of
data brokers and there are hundreds out there that then
sell that information, your information to anybody who wants to
buy it. And then here's your data and your privacy
and it's been sold to even bad guys. Incogniti is
a company that comes into play and actually protects you.
(29:50):
What they do is contact hundreds of these data brokers,
lots of them and legally demand your information be deleted.
And I am a customer, and before every I log
onto my Incognitia account and there it is. Hundreds of
removal cress requests have been completed, hundreds more are in
progress every time. So Incogniti is the company I'm recommending
(30:12):
to protect yourself. Get sixty percent off when you use
my name handle sixty percent off go to Incogniti dot com.
I N C O G N I in Cogniti dot
com slash handle. That's a J N D E L
in Cogniti dot com slash handle. And since we're at
the end of the hour, I'm gonna say goodbye, However,
(30:35):
still taking phone calls in just a moment or two.
As I say goodbye, and I will continue on same
number eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
And as I say, no commercials, no breaks, no weather,
no traffic, no news, It's just you and me, and
I have no patience, so you have to deal with
(30:56):
that too. As you can imagine, the number of the
phone calls get through very quickly. One hundred and five
two zero one five three four. This is Handle on
the Law.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
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 listenings KFI AM six forty. The bill handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. This is handle on
the law marginal legal advice where I tell you you
have absolutely no case.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
There is something called prediction markets. I mean this is
kind of new, actually it is new now. It used
to be that when you were betting, let's say, it
was usually sports events you were betting, and prior to
the Internet and these betting apps, the only way you
could legally bet were in states where it was allowed,
(00:39):
and in California, for example, you could not bet unless
you were in a casino, which they opened up, and
prior to that you couldn't bet at all. Lottery you
can because that's legalized. And so the sports books opened up,
and prior to that it was either a bookie that
you or ill legally betting always sporting events, or it
(01:04):
was through a legalized sporting facility or betting facility like
a casino.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
So something came.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Up, a new app, a new way of betting called
prediction markets polymarket Kyle.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
She is another one where.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Effectively you bet on anything, anything that's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
When are we going to attack Iran?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
When is the government going to change the rules of
the irs? How much money is Amazon going to make
or declare next year in terms of profits. I mean,
you can literally bet on anything, which, okay, you know
it's prediction betting. And then there's been some scandals in
the government where you had government employees betting on stuff
(01:55):
that they actually had things to do with. Also, you
had some executives in various companies betting on how much
money they're going to declare they have made, and they're
the ones that are part of that decision making or
that part of that information.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So that's illegal. Well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Was illegal on prediction markets, betting on wildfires when it's
going to start, how much acreage is going to be burnt,
how many firefighters are going to be sent from, what
countries are they going to be sent. Everything involving wildfires.
You can do prediction markets, prediction betting. Now, doesn't that
(02:37):
sound a little ridiculous because isn't there a motive, for example,
I don't know, to burn stuff up and bet that
a fire is going to start in a certain place prediction,
that's my prediction, and all of a sudden it starts
in that place. You think there's a motivation for you
to get involved in that or start the fire in California,
(02:58):
realize that, and it's kind of interesting that there are
no guard rails. The nine lawmakers, including two California Senators,
Alex Padilla and Adam Shift, say this is crazy, and
they're urging the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which controls this,
to implement what they're calling common sense guardrails to prevent
(03:21):
people from profiting off the suffering and devastation on digital
gambling sites, prediction gambling sites. It's kind of hard to
believe that predicting natural disasters is excluded from well, that
wildfires are excluded from natural disasters.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's crazy. They didn't include wildfires.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So this happened la of course, you know the Palisades
fire what ended up happening at Murder Palisades, and you know,
thirteen thousand homes and businesses were burnt. So you can't
bet on when a fire is going to start. No
chack ants. Okay, uh, let's go ahead and take some
phone calls Tristian or Tristan, Hello, Tristan, what can I
(04:09):
do for you?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
There? Yes for taking that call?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Sure, wanted wanted to know about uh my rights as
a tenant of a I can't speak, apparently, and I
have a show.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I live in a dilapidated home. And now well, now
it's been going on for a while. There's lactoins that
have uh set up camp inside the interior of the
there are.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Hold on, hold on, and understand that there are what
that have set up uh in your home.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Raccoons.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Oh, raccoon, raccoons. Where do you live, Tristan?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I live in uh Missouri?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Oh, small town. Don't they eat raccoons?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh, well, okay, but that's uh, you know, I know
raccoons are a big staple in the high end restaurants
in Missouri and some places. Okay, so now all right,
raccoons are set up home in your home? All right,
fair enough?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
What else?
Speaker 7 (05:12):
And and well there's water damage, there's black mold.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Oh okay, all right, got it?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Your place is a mess. Have you talked to the landlord.
Have you told the landlord You've got a few problems here? Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Yes, okay, here's I've taken there.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Okay, right, okay, here your rights here, he writes. First
of all, you can stop paying the rent, Just stop, Okay.
I would also consider call building in safety. Uh the
safety people that every.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Every you didn't call inspects and what happened and what happened?
See this city, it's all you know. Run, I don't know.
It's a bad city where I live.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
And uh, basically overnight they put it for sale sign.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
And didn't even they haven't even advis me that it's
for sale.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Okay, they don't have to advice. They don't have to
advise you it's for sale. What they have to do
is simply give you notice. Have you been given notice to?
Have they given you notice to to facate the property?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Okay, well they can't.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Do you have a lease a month to month?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Now that means you.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Don't have a lease, so they have to give you
whatever the laws are in Missouri as far as notice.
If there's a month to month, which means there's no lease,
like California law sixty days, a tenant has to be
given sixty days when there is no lease to get out.
I'm assuming Missouri has much the same kind of law.
And even if it doesn't, they have to evict you
(06:42):
and you're out on your butt. Now they're going to
sell the place. I mean how I don't know who
they're going to sell it to. And inspector comes in
black mold raccoons, that's I'm sorry, who can't pay you?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
You know, it can't pass inspection, right, going to be
able to sell it?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So they're just so what they do. So they should
have just evicted you. If it can't be sold, why
would they put it for sale?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Sign up?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
They would just evict you. And there are also some damages.
You can go after them for living in a facility
with black mold. Let's not forget raccoons, and there are
statutory that means the law probably allows you to be
paid damages. What I would do is contact a landlord
tenant attorney. There's plenty of them out there. And if
(07:30):
you're old and poor, which you sound okay, yeah, you
sound like you're old, but I didn't know about poor.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well, you're welcome. Now you're welcome. No, I understand that.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, I'm surprised you didn't say. And I'm eating the
raccoons because I don't have any money. There are lawyer,
there are lawyers out there. You just have to do
a little bit of searching that will represent you for free,
and you can call the local bar association and just say,
here's my situation. Who can I get to represent you?
Because you may be entitled some money for sure. For Yeah,
(08:02):
there's all kinds of issues going on you as a tenant,
of course, you have rights. Now, Let's say you've been
injured in a car accident, right, or a slipping fall.
You're at a hotel and there's some grease on the
floor and you take a flyer, or there are some
stairs and they're not properly, they don't meet code, and
there you go take a spill, not your fault, you're injured,
(08:24):
or you get rear ended. Oh, you go to a
big box store and a big box falls on your head.
So what ends up happening, Well, all you can do
is get money. At that point, there's not much more
you can do, and you want to get the maximum
amount you can get that you deserve.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
And this is where it pays.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Although you don't pay for it, it pays to get
an attorney representing you because you're going against insurance companies
who are experts at not paying you. You're way out
of your league and you can't do this on your own.
I think you really need the help, so let me
suggest handle on the law dot Com. Handle on the
Law dot Com attorneys who are vetted who if there's
a problem, I make the phone call. And on top
(09:02):
of that, they are experts at what they do. Otherwise
I wouldn't let them go on Handle on the law
dot Com. You can call eight eight eight eight eight
eight eight sixty six eight a day eight eight eight
eight eight sixty six eight injured not your fault. Handle
on the law dot Com. This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Handle on the Law. Kevin, Yes, Kevin morning, Bill, Yes, sir.
Speaker 10 (09:32):
We booked a European cruise back in May from Barcelona
to Rome and it was to include in a shore
excursion in every port. Well, you pay your deposit, you
pay the balance, and you can start booking your shore
excursions four months before your trip. So when it comes
time to book our shore excursions, we get to Rome
and there's no excursions available. So then you look at
(09:55):
the tenerar and it says you've arrived in Rome, say
goodbye to your shipmates and head to the airport to
fly home. So I'm kind of confused how a trip
from Barcelona to Rome that doesn't include a day in
Rome is not.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Because it doesn't include it.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It doesn't include a day in Rome because you get
off the ship in the morning, you're off the ship
and you're done.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
But why would it say, you know, Barcelona Rome, you
would presume you get it.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You would resume at all, because you know, you know
when you're getting off the ship and they're not going
to give you a.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Tour after you're off the ship.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
When they say bought Barcelona to Rome, and I've done
that trip, by the way, it ends in Rome, and
so you get your shore excursions. I mean, Kevin, you presumed,
you assumed that there was a shore excursion. But when
they say there's a score a shore excursion in every city.
(10:50):
Rome is just when you get off the ship, that's it.
It's a goodbye. So there there ain't nothing there. No,
that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
That's what they do. And you're off the ship at
eight o'clock in the morning or nine o'clock in the morning.
And yeah, so that doesn't work. Oh okay, let me
see who I want here?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Uh okay, Dawn, Hello, down, Welcome.
Speaker 11 (11:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 12 (11:15):
Hey, my girlfriend is sixty two, just diagnosed with stage
one lung cancer and she's trying to get her affairs
in the order. Well hopefully we got cesars side and night,
so hopefully, you know, things are pretty sunny for that small,
you know, further stage cancer. But nevertheless, what she's worried
about is she was on medical for about five years
(11:35):
and she's worried about when she passes, the state coming
after her you know, her estate, the state coming after
her estate for the money they gave her for medical.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Well, yeah, well medical is when you're broke and when
you apply for At that time, did she did she
put down the fact that she owned a home.
Speaker 11 (11:57):
I don't know whether she did or not.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It was about well, I'm assuming if if she put down,
they get the home. Because you have to have no
assets in order to be eligible for medical. I mean
it's for poor people with no assets, and so the slips.
Speaker 12 (12:13):
You yeah, yeah, yeah they will.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Can you what if you what if you have you know,
a trust.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Or have it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
The trust doesn't The trust doesn't matter unless it's an
irrevocable trust, which means, uh, it's out of her out
of her hands completely. It's in a trust to which
she has absolutely no control. Gone, yeah, it's gone.
Speaker 12 (12:36):
Yeah, they would they wouldn't come after it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
No, not if it's no.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Not if it's an irrevocable trust, that means a trust
that's strangely enough, irrevocable.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So yeah, when you're poor, I mean, they're pretty tough
because the state is paying for it. We're paying for
it if we're in the state. Uh, that is the problem. John, Hello, John,
you're up.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Welcome.
Speaker 11 (12:59):
Hey, hi Bill, Yeah, a longtime resident from Burbank. Uh, huh, Bill,
you're there.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I'm here, Okay, cool teamster, Hollywood teamster.
Speaker 11 (13:09):
Anyways, I want to get straight to the point. I know,
I know, we only got about sixty seconds for this.
Speaker 13 (13:14):
So between shows, when i'm you know, I'm doing movies,
I drive lift. So I was driving the Lyft and
I picked up this guy and he started vaping in
the back of my car marijuana, and I was like, hey, dude,
you can't do that, So I stopped the ride. He
called Lyft and said that I brandished a gun and
they deactivated my account. False allegations. I try to assume
(13:36):
him in small claims court lost?
Speaker 11 (13:38):
That is there anything I could do?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No, Well, first of all, sing you in a small
claims court for what for being deactivated?
Speaker 8 (13:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
All you the wages. They didn't even pay you the
wages that were due to you at that time.
Speaker 11 (13:52):
I got paid, Yeah, like twenty bucks for that ride.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Okay. How much would you have gotten paid prior to
throwing him out?
Speaker 13 (13:59):
Well, I mean I think what I tried to sue
for was lost wages.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
How do you how do you prove? How do you
prove lost wages?
Speaker 11 (14:08):
I go, I got deactivated, I understood.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So how much you're suing for money I would have made?
You would have made over what period of time for
the next.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Year, for the six months six months?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Did you get paid for four to six months? Did
they stiff you for four to six months?
Speaker 12 (14:24):
Well?
Speaker 11 (14:24):
Yeavate deactivated my account.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I no, there's deactivating and there's getting paid. Did they
pay you? The's two issues?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
They deactivated you. You're out, You're done, you can't you
can't drive for lift anymore.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Did they pay you up to that point that you
are earned, that you earn the money?
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Okay, So now you're saying I want money that I
would have made even though I don't know how many
trips I would have taken. I don't know how many
trips I would take. I don't know how many hours
I would drive. I don't know if I was working
on a movie and I wouldn't drive. How much money
do you think you could ask for?
Speaker 11 (14:58):
I was going for the maxim and Small Claims Court.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Twelve five hundred dollars correct, that's how much you would
have made if you were deactivated over what period of time?
Speaker 11 (15:07):
Over six months?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Okay, okay, but you're no longer driving.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
They deactivated you, which they can, by the way, it
may not be fair, but they deactivated you, so you
can prove that you would have made this kind of money.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
Of course, how do you do how.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Do you do that based on your history? Huh?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So you used to make one hundred dollars a day
and now you're saying I would still keep on driving
even if I'm on a movie.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I would keep on driving with lyft. Is that correct?
Speaker 11 (15:34):
No? No, I on the side.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Okay, do you understand how speculative that is? Do you understand?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
It's like me swing if I'm swinging NASA? Now, if
a piece of a spacecraft came off and took my
head off.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
This is how much it worked.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But it hasn't yet and you don't know if it's
ever going to. So you got nothing there. I mean, no,
it doesn't work that way. And once you've lost, you've lost.
By the way, if you're a plaintiff, all right, let's
talk about your privacy. Losing that your privacy. If you
think your privacy online exists, it does not exist. It's
all out there and anybody can grab it. I'm talking
(16:14):
about your home address, where you work, where you bank,
what you buy, where, court records, DMV information, credit scores.
I mean, it's all out there, and data brokers collect
that because it's very easy to collect. So there you
have hundreds of data brokers collecting your data and then
selling it to anybody who wants to buy it, even
the bad guys. So what do you do about protecting yourself? Well,
(16:36):
there's a company calling Cogniti, which I'm a customer Cognity.
What they do is they contact hundreds of these data
brokers and there are hundreds and legally demand that your
information be deleted. That's what Incogniti does. And before every show,
I log on mine Incognita account, and there they are.
Hundreds of removal requests have been completed, hundreds more are
(16:58):
in progress. In cognit, you can take your life, your
data base, your privacy back. Get sixty percent off when
you use my name handle. So go to incognate I
n cog n I in cogny dot com. Slash handle
in cognate dot com slash handle.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
This is handle on the law.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
You're listening to Bill handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
This is handle on the law. Chuck, Hello, Chuck.
Speaker 11 (17:28):
Yeah, sure, yes.
Speaker 14 (17:30):
In nineteen eighty three, my second wife passed away and
she had indicated that she wanted to be buried at
a particular cemetery, one of the oak trees. So she
dies unexpectively. We go there, We find the last plot
they said available under those trees, So we do the
whole nine yards.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
We do.
Speaker 14 (17:47):
You know, she's buried there. We did the graystone, the casket,
the whole nine yards. So I live in a different
part of still in California now, so it's been years
since I had been out there, and I happened to
meet someone for lunch recently, and I said, well, let
me go over and visit my second.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Wife's grade bill. They moved the grades and.
Speaker 14 (18:06):
I got a document I got a documentary on them
telling me the plot number. Yeah, I know that, and
now the grades out by a curb by the streets
to come at that is interesting. What would you do?
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
No, what I would do is I'd sue them, is
what I would do. Uh. And for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
First of all, when it comes to those circumstances graves, burials,
et cetera. Uh, the amount of money is pretty astronomical.
For example, emotional support. It was very difficult to get
emotional support in lawsuits early on, and it took, for example,
like a mother seeing her child run over and I'm
(18:47):
not emotional support, emotional damages. It took things like a
mother seeing her child run over and so emotional damages
kicked kicked in because it used to be had to
be physically injured plus have emotional damages. That's the only
time they connected. But a couple of examples went the
other way. One is that mother situation. The other one
(19:09):
is dealing with family members at cemeteries burials, And it
actually started when the casket was being brought to the gravesite.
The pall bearers were there and the bottom of the
casket fell out and there's Uncle Maury now rolling down
the hill. And that that became a big lawsuit. So
you're dealing with serious emotional damage as a result of
(19:33):
them placing your ex wife or your wife at that
time into a grave that was not the one you bought. Yeah,
it's time for a lawyer. It is time for a lawyer,
because those can be pretty pretty big damages. They can,
you know, I would go to the website, go to
handle on the law dot com and talk to one
(19:53):
of the lawyers. I don't know if personal injury under this, well,
it would be because it's seriously emotional damage.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I don't know if you've been to a shrink which
helps a lot. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
There's a bunch of avenues here, but it can get
pretty serious.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
That When my mother died, quick story.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
When my mother died several years ago, we went to
She died at ninety eight, so she was no youngster.
And when we went to the gravesite, the mortuary folks
connected to the cemetery said we did not get anybody
to identify her, not that we had to because she
(20:31):
died in a facility at ninety eight, no one's going
to argue. And the lady said, would you do you
mind identifying her, just to gross the t's and dot
the eyes, And I said, yeah, I'll go over there.
My ex wife at that point stopped me cold and said,
you're not going over there. I'm going to do it,
(20:51):
because she knew that as soon as they opened the casket,
I would look down and say, that's not my mother.
You have someone else in that casket. That would be
huge emotional damages. Now, of course it was my mother,
but it was Had it not been my mother, it
would have been a huge, a major lawsuit. So anyway,
(21:12):
I suggest you grab hold of a lawyer because I
think that that is that's that's actually a case, that
that really is. Now, let's talk a moment about being injured.
An easy one. If you've been in a car accident.
I mean, let's say you're rear ended, you've been t
boned and it's obviously not your fault, and you've been injured.
(21:33):
That's important, and so what do you do. Well, you're
going after the person who harmed you, and generally the
insurance company on that person's side, and you'll get to
probably get a phone call if you don't have a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah, what's the phone call. Well, we'll pay your medical bills.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
We'll pay your any car damage, and then we'll give
you some money, not very much money, a little bit
of money. Well, the point is these guys are experts,
not paying you money. So you get a lawyer and
there's no money up front. By the way, you're not
writing any checks to the lawyer. A lawyer represents you
and gets the max what you deserve, what you can
(22:10):
get and should get, because it's only about money at
that point. And so let me suggest going to handle
on the law dot com for that lawyer. Handle on
the law dot Com. Now, a lot of lawyers are
out there advertising who you go to. And by the way,
some are great, some are not so great. So that's
why I created handle on the law dot Com. You

Speaker 3 (22:43):
This is handle on the law.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Back, we go more Handle on the law, right, Johnny,
you have a quest?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah, yes, sir, Yes, I waited forty I waited forty
minutes to.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Talk to you.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, I know, sorry about that because everybody else was
so much more interesting.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
What can I do for you, Johnny?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
So yeah, and thank you for your advertisers that keep
your show going. It's you know, you have a great show.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
My main, my main question is this and the Lemon law.
Explain that to me.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Okay, Lemon law, if the Lemon law is different in
every state. Lemon law in California is that you buy
a car and there's no specific amount of times you
bring it back, but it's basically a defective car where
it has to go back a certain number of times
to get repaired and they can't repair it. Or the
(23:43):
car goes back and let's say they do repair it,
but they do it a bunch of times. And what
you do is you get your money back or you
get a brand new car. And without that Lemon law,
it is almost impossible to get money refunded or get
a new car because I don't know if you've ever
dealt with a car dealership, it is horrific. In this case,
(24:05):
you're going after the manufacturer of the car. And uh
if if the court holds that the Lemon law applies.
And this is why you really need a Lemon law expert.
Uh these people. It's a very very specialized field of law.
And there's a lot of uh eyes to dot and
crosses teas to cross and dot your teas. I know
(24:28):
that phrase somewhere and that's h and you don't And
by the way, you don't pay for the attorney. Uh,
the attorney is paid Yeah, I know. The attorney is
paid for by the manufacturer. So that's an easy PC one.
The only difficulty is actually uh being able to uh
(24:48):
not only apply the Lemon law, but the Lemon law
being attributed to your problem. And so that's how you
do it. But you have a car, you have a
car this Lemon.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Yeah, I I mean I bought the car from I'm
not going to mention the company, but I felt that they,
you know, there was a little shadiness there. But it
enterprise rent a car, so you know, be careful. They
only give you like a twelve month ward Key, it's
not very good.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well yeah, okay, but now let me ask you, I
don't know if the Lemon law applies where it's much
more difficult to apply when you're talking about buying a
used car. It doesn't matter from a dealership or not,
because at that point it too much stuff has happened.
It's not a brand new car. Usually Lemon law applies
(25:36):
to brand new cars. It can't apply to it.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Yeah, that's good to know.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The war and the warranty is very different than the
Lemon law. So yeah, and I don't know. I've never
bought a car from enterprise. You may have just gotten
a lemon that does not comply with Lemon law. In
other words, it's it's not covered by the Lemon law.
You could still get Alemen. It happens. You know, I
(26:01):
bought cars before you. Yeah, and the good news is
you're buying a used car from a reputable place to
buy a used car from. That's why whenever I bought
a used car, and I bought lots of them, I
always do it out from a dealer because.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
It's dealers go through it.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They're careful buying it from a third party you're completely
out of your mind.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Nuts. Okay, I hope that answered it now. Oh wow, Seas.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Wait, this is what happened at the end of the hour,
and this happens to us occasionally. We've gone through all
the phone calls and I still have a few minutes
to go, so let me suggest jumping in before I
say goodbye. And the number is eight hundred five two
zero one five three four. As you can imagine, it's
not going to take very long for you to come
in like immediately. Eight hundred five two zero one five
(26:51):
three four is the number, and we are getting one
or two calls. Okay, Susan, Hello, Susan, welcome.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
I have a living trust which my Hestan and I
had opened in twenty ten. Most of the stock within
both our names, but nine of the stocks were only
in his name. I thought that the living trust which
mentioned stock made it easy no probate. The money goes
(27:22):
to me as a wife, as a beneficiary, as a
co owner. And they're still dragging their feet.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, they are dragging. I'll tell you why. Hold on,
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
First of all, if the stocks are not in the trust,
if the trust does not own the stock it does
not go through the trust.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
It doesn't, so you have to open a probate.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Now I'm assuming that the beneficiary of that stock when
they sell.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
It is you, and so that makes it easy.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But don't think that you made it easy for yourself
with the trust, because not putting in the trust is everything.
I have a trust, and what I don't have in
the trust does not flow out of the trust.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
The trustee can't touch it because.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
It states in the in the living trust, including stock.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, well what kind of stuff it doesn't. It can
state any It can state anything you want.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
It can state my fifty seven Oldsmobile is included in
the trust. And if it's not, if it's not in
the trust, I mean transfer ownership, transfer to the trust.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I get it. I get it. It has very very
nice cash.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Okay, then go ahead and just work with the bank.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Now they say no more.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Good okay, But you have.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
To all right, but you have to open You have
to start talking to a bunch of people, the stockbroker
who handles the stock, the people who actually you own
the stock of the company that the stock is bought in,
and you just have to go through the hoops. You'll
be fine, it just takes you a while, that's.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
All I know.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
They'll do it. You'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Now, last spot, I want to share with you before
we bail out of here, and that's your privacy, as in,
you have none online because everything about you is online,
home address, where you work, or your bank, what you buy,
where you buy a DMV information, I mean all of it.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
And it doesn't get any better than that. And I'll
tell you why.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Because this is that information is collected by hundreds of
data brokers and there are hundreds out there that then
sell that information, your information to anybody who wants to
buy it. And then here's your data and your privacy
and it's been sold to even bad guys. Incogniti is
a company that comes into play and actually protects you.
(29:50):
What they do is contact hundreds of these data brokers,
lots of them and legally demand your information be deleted.
And I am a customer, and before every I log
onto my Incognitia account and there it is. Hundreds of
removal cress requests have been completed, hundreds more are in
progress every time. So Incogniti is the company I'm recommending
(30:12):
to protect yourself. Get sixty percent off when you use
my name handle sixty percent off go to Incogniti dot com.
I N C O G N I in Cogniti dot
com slash handle. That's a J N D E L
in Cogniti dot com slash handle. And since we're at
the end of the hour, I'm gonna say goodbye, However,
(30:35):
still taking phone calls in just a moment or two.
As I say goodbye, and I will continue on same
number eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
And as I say, no commercials, no breaks, no weather,
no traffic, no news, It's just you and me, and
I have no patience, so you have to deal with
(30:56):
that too. As you can imagine, the number of the
phone calls get through very quickly. One hundred and five
two zero one five three four. This is Handle on
the Law.
