Summary

The law touches an individual’s wallet, home, job, and many personal relationships. Yet most people are not aware of all their legal rights and responsibilities. Know Your Legal Rights guides readers over hundreds of common legal hurdles, from auto insurance to zoning regulations. Leaving no stone unturned, this book applies information about civil law and the American judicial system to questions of marriage and divorce, live-in rights, hired contractors, medical dilemmas, estate planning, pensions, and more. Even civil liberties issues such as job discrimination and household searches are treated in detail. Updated to reflect current laws, including a summary of the new bankruptcy law, the third edition of this practical reference is written in layman’s language, not legal jargon. It helps readers recognize when they have a legal problem and decide if and how they can resolve it on their own. And if a problem does require a lawyer, the book shows exactly how to find qualified legal counsel. An invaluable addition to the home or small business reference library.
