[PA] Is a marital settlement agreement still enforceable if one spouse only has a few minutes to review it before signing?

I am about to file for divorce. I did use AI to assist in writing an MSA. It is suggesting to not give my wife any time to look over it and just essentially show it to her at the notary and get her to sign it as soon as possible. This sounds a little "aggressive" and questionably legal (which it says it's not), hence why I am asking here. I live in the state of Pennsylvania.

[PA] Where should probate be filed when a parent relocated for care shortly before death?

My parent passed away in March 2026 in Pennsylvania. However, she was domiciled in Florida before we temporarily brought her to Pennsylvania around three years ago for care. She was receiving social security benefits and a small pension from New Jersey. She lived in a manufactured home in a 55+ community in Florida. Her will was created in Pennsylvania. With these circumstances, in which state should I start the probate process?

[PA] Can a MERS-only recorded refinance and improper servicing transfer be challenged after a completed foreclosure?

I bought a home in 2006 in Pennsylvania with a subprime conventional mortgage loan, which was recorded with the county clerk's office. Then I refinanced the loan to a FHA mortgage, and Patriot Act attachment, that the loan officer only recorded with MERS. In May 2013, the bank transferred my mortgage servicing to a mortgage company, and since that day I went from a gainfully employed homeowner whose mortgage and bills were current, had OK credit, and even little savings, to a steady decline in every part of my life by systematic abuse, deprivation, and rather atrocious behavior and color of law misconduct. I've been foreclosed on, divorced, and literally have suffered cruel and unusual treatment over this discrepancy.
