I need an attorney but I have been unemployed for 18 months now since my job went overseas to India. So I have very little to spend and good attorneys want minimum $10,000 retainer. Instead of paying hourly what other fee arrangement can I make. If I win, my share of the estate would be about triple the estimated total legal fees. So can this type of case be done on 30?ontingency basis? Any other ways I could go with this? Thanks for your help.

My friend's mom died and she still owes money on the house they lived in. My friend doesn't have a job because she quit to help her mom. She has money to pay the monthly mortgage payments (she's eventually going to sell the house) but her lawyer told her not tell the bank her mom has passed because they can ask for the whole loan to be due. She doesn't want to pay for the house out right because she's eventually going to sell it. Has anyone heard of this happening? Anyone have any thoughts on what she should do?

I have a child from a previous marriage and my husband has two. We also have four children together. How do we ensure that the 4 younger children are taken care of financially in the event of the death or one or both of us? The older children are 20 and 16. Will the life insurance and estate be split equally amongst the seven children or will more go to the younger ones because we have already put the 20 year old through college? BTW: His 16 year old still lives with his mother and step father. The 20 year old is out on his own and my 16 year old lives with us.
