== == Probably not. Moving someone else's property without their consent is a civil matter, and the estranged spouse would have to prove you did it intentionally. You could say you "didn't know" whose stuff it was and that you had no reason to know she hadn't consented. The goods were not "stolen" as you did not intend to keep them and there was no robbery as the estranged spouse wasn't present. The worst you might face is replacement of goods if they were damaged or lost and the estranged spouse could prove you were negligent.
Yes it is their property and must be taken through the proper authorities. YES YOU CAN, DEPENDING ON THE ITEMS IT CAN BE CHARGED ILLEGAL POSSESION OR ROBBERY. YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WERE YOU MOVED THE ITEMS TO. IF IT WAS NOT A SAFE PLACE THERE CAN BE ALSO A CIVIL SUIT FOR THE VALUE OF THE ITEMS. ALWAYS VARIFY WITH A LAYWER IN CASE I'M WRONG. I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT I KNOW A GREAT DEAL. GOOD LUCK AND NEXT TIME BE MORE COUSIOUS. BYE BYE.

I have not been served legal papers so can my husband keep me from getting my belongings out of the house?
If you have no current restraining orders in effect and your current residence (i.e. the one printed on your drivers license, not where you are currently staying) is listed as being the address at which your belongings are located, then yes.However!!Most law enforcement officials will recommend that you request a police officer to be present while you remove your belongings. This is recommended for many reasons. First and foremost is your safety. Second is that you have an official third party present should anything happen that needs to be documented.Contact the police department in the town or city that serves the residence where your belongings are located. Explain that you wish to have a police officer present while you remove your possessions. If you arrive at the residence BEFOREthe police, do not exit your vehicle or attempt to approachthe residence. Wait for the police to escort you onto the property.Some police departments will take it so far as to have you meet them at a specified location (not the residence) and will escort you from there.By using a police officer you will now have documented proof (police dispatch reports) that you had no malicious intentions in visiting the residence. The sole purpose of your visit was to remove your belongings. This goes a long way in court should you have to appear for divorce proceedings.
My belongings were lost to a fire in my friend's house while I was staying there. Will my homeowner's policy cover this loss?
Some home insurance policies do cover your belongings that are at a secondary residence. The definition of a secondary residence is a loosely worded term that may include a hotel room, and yes, even a friends house. The limit of coverage for a secondary residence may be limited to 10% of your contents coverage. Usually more than enough. Read your policy or check with your agent to find out more. Please remember that your deductible may apply.

What is the legal time limit a lessor has to be out of a home if the lessor loses the eviction process in court?
Sticky issue. Depends on the state. I would say no less than 3 days but it is dependent on what is considered legal notice properly served on the lessor. The landlord is responsible for safe storage of the lessor's belongings, typically. A person has a right to enter any building/residence to retrieve belongings - legally/sheriff. Work it out with landlord and get it in writing.

Is their anywhere that says the oldest daughter gets the deceased mothers wedding ring?
No. Distribution of the deceased person's belongings are based on a written will. If no will is found, depending in the state of residence, the person's belongings are handled in different ways. Generally, the surviving spouse inherits all. If there is no surviving spouse, "issue" (the deceased's children) are next in line. How they divide items amongst themselves is often the source of long-standing bitterness. This shows how important it is to make a will.
