Question: My vacation home (located near the river in Skagit county) was flooded recently, but my insurance isn't responding to my phone calls. I think they may be going out of business. What should I do?

Answer: You should find a good Skagit county attorney who can represent you and get you the benefits you are entitled to receive, according to your home owner's insurance or flood insurance plan. You should also find copies of your policies and have them on hand to show to the lawyer and your insurance company.

Question: I am a rancher here in Skagit County, Washington, and I have run into a problem with my ranch being targeted by vandals. need to know whether Washington Equine law covers mules or just horses.

Answer: Mules, donkeys, ponies, and hinnies are all covered according to Washington State's Equine Law, which provides certain protection for owners of all of these animals and for their properties. Of course, your homeowner's insurance should also provide protection for you.

Question: I am a long time resident of Mount Vernon, Washington. Recent investment problems and health expenses are making it difficult to make our house payment, and I think we need to declare bankruptcy. Who do we contact to go about this, a Skagit county attorney or our bank?

Answer: You will need to complete the paperwork with a bankruptcy attorney, a lawyer who specializes in helping individuals facing bankruptcy. He can also help you explore other options that might be able to help you keep your home or other assets if you did not declare bankruptcy.

Question: My father is in his late 80s, and he has lost a lot of his memory and decision making skills. I am concerned about his financial well being because certain family members have been talking him into risky business investments, and he keeps loosing money. He says they exert a lot of pressure on him to sign papers and hand over assets, but then he doesn't understand what they mean. If he looses everything, his wife, 10 years his junior, will have nothing to live on. What should we do?

Answer: You need to contact an elder law specialist, a lawyer who can take on difficult problems with estate planning and setting up protection for vulnerable adults. The most common form of elder abuse/vulnerable adult abuse is financial exploitation, and it sounds like some members of your father's family may be guilty of this. It is free to file a vulnerable adult protection order, and it may be a good idea in your father's case.
