My grandmother gave me a ring as a gift and I pawned it, maybe I shouldn’t have, but I did. She found out that I pawned it and is now threatening to press charges on me telling the police that I stole it and pawned it. Can she press charges on me for that? Even if it was a gift?

My Grandfather-in-law wants to give us a gift for the down payment to purchase our first home (the gift would be under $10,000). However, he is 82 years old and we are concerned that this may be considered a transfer of assets. Could this gift keep him from qualifying for Medicaid if he needs to go into a nursing home?

I have a phycopathic sister in law who has mounted a vendetta on my 13 year old daughter over a silly comment. She is now demanding that the birthday present she bought her be returned to her. Just wondering what the legal position is on this. Thanks

If the donor delivers a deed stating the gift to be transferred does legal title pass on the delivery of the deed? Please include sourses, statutory or otherwise.

This question relates to UK Law:-

I have an elderly widowed relative who has died in the last few months. He signed over his farm ten years ago to his son to avoid Inheritance Tax by signing a Deed of Gift.

I have since been told that as the elderly relative remained living in the farmhouse rent free then this is a Gift with Reservation and not a Deed of Gift as the elderly gentleman retained a benefit from the property by living in it.

My question is this:- does the fact the elderly gentleman remained rent free in the house make the Deed of Gift Void and if so then does disposal of all the assets (e.g. farm) revert back to the original Will.

I would be most grateful for some help on this please.
