Our apartment was privatized during the marriage, we did not have a prenup agreement with my husband. My husband has died recently and his daughter from the first marriage, apart from me, claims to the inheritance. Do I have the right to allocate my marital share from the inheritance? 01.04.2010 A company from Russia wants to open its office here. They do not want to open a subsidiary company for many reasons. Tell me please, what is the difference between a branch and a representative office? 31.03.2010 I left my car in a parking lot in the city center, and when I returned I saw a fine receipt on the windscreen and the car wheel was blocked by a special device. It turned out that it was a paid parking lot managed by a private company. As the representative of this company informed me, the wheel of the car would not be unlocked until I pay the fine. Does this company have the right to perform such actions? 30.03.2010 I have an apartmanet in a new building, 2 rooms, 2 years warranty under the contract. The heating is the same in the whole apartment but in one room the temperature is +22, whereas in the other room it’s +18. It is incredibly cold to sleep there at night. The developers have tightened all the windows, we have insulated the floors and, using special equipment, we have revealed that the temperature of one wall is between +10 and +14 degrees. We have sent an official complaint (twice) asking to solve the problem and insulate the wall, but we only received lame excuses that all these claims are unreasonable, and that the temperature of 18 degrees is quite normal. In November, the insurance will expire and it looks like the developers are just dragging on time. 29.03.2010 What is the procedure for exemption of premises from the lessee’s belongings, if the lease agreement is terminated for non-payment, all the equipment is pledged to the bank (the right to pledge is realized), the sole founder of the lessee is in the hospital. And for the future reference – what can be provided for in the lease agreement with new tenants in order to simplify the termination of the agreement and the release of the premises as much as possible? 25.03.2010 A property owner officially receives a minimum wage, for this property there are quite large bills for rent, land tax, etc. Does he have any right to social assistance on this property? 24.03.2010 How to release the apartment of legal address status? And does this status threaten the owner of the apartment in case of bankruptcy of this company? In a private apartment, the legal address of the company was registered by mutual agreement of the owner of the apartment and the owner of the company. Then the company ceased to maintain contact with the owner of the apartment, and stopped picking up correspondence. The location of the owner of the company is unknown. The owner of the apartment filed an application with the Register of Enterprises, where they thanked for the information and promised to fine the company. Several months have passed, but the correspondence of the company (including debts) continues to come to this address. 23.03.2010 Our company participated in a tender organized by a state-owned enterprise. We are not residents of Latvia. The competition was won by a competing company. We believe that the decision of the state-owned enterprise is not fair, since our offer was the most profitable, and we met all the criteria from the point of view of technical requirements. How can we challenge this decision, in what time frame? 22.03.2010 I purchased a car and ownership rights were registered in my name. The car was insured under OSTA and the insurance was valid for another half a year. A few months after the purchase, I was in an accident in which I was to blame. But despite the fact that OSTA insurance was still valid, the insurance company requires money from me, which it paid to the victim. How can I protect my rights? 22.03.2010 Few days ago I found out that the equity capital has been increased in a company (limited liability company) where I used to own 50% of the capital without my participation. As a result my part in that company reduced to 10%. What shall I do in the current situation?
