[CA] How do I get access to my elderly father’s medical records?

My father is elderly. I need to start getting all his medical information to help with his care. I’m thinking I need a HIPAA form that I can just write the doctor’s name into. But is it legal to write in the doctor’s name on a signed form? Is there a different way I should be handling this?

[CA] How do I evict a tenant for non-payment of rent in California?

My tenant has been in an active mental health crisis where she is delusional about everything, and she has not paid the rent. She previously told me she’d move out on May 1st. Since she hasn’t been home for a week and hasn't paid rent, how do I evict her? She had a six-month lease, and it's no longer valid.

[CA] How can I stop my brother from violating the terms of the family trust created by my late mother?

My mother died in November of 2024. She had both a will and a family trust. She had two homes in Mentone, California. My brother David has lived in one for about 7 years, and my daughter Elizabeth has lived in one for about 15 years. She appointed my eldest brother Daniel to be the trustee. My daughter Elizabeth became gravely ill in late 2017. On July 11, 2018, she revised the family trust to include Elizabeth as a beneficiary. The trust states that the trustee may sell trust property, however that any such transaction shall be for full and adequate consideration. On 03/17/2025, my brother Daniel filed a quit claim deed giving my brother David both properties for no consideration. David is now trying to sell the properties and has told my daughter that she must move. Elizabeth is on hospice and has neither the physical nor financial means to move. We have no money for a lawyer. My mother’s intentions are being ignored and I believe they are violating the trust. What can I do to stop my brother from selling the property? What can I file to have this matter reviewed by the authorities? I have no money. My daughter is dying and I don’t know what to do.

[CA] If I live on the property are my renters exempt from rent control in California?

Hi, my property is a duplex, and I have been renting to a man with no pets. He wants his girlfriend with a dog to move in with him. She’s been staying with him regularly for the past month. I need to revise my lease with him. Currently, it states no pets and no overnight guests. I need to add her to the lease and change the policy to only allow one pet. Is there a maximum pet fee per month? Are they excluded from the California rent control if I am staying in the other duplex and they are signing a new lease that’s month to month?
