Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York
NY juristion in NC??
My partner & I formed a C-corp. corporation which was two rental homes in Nassau County NY. We have decided to go it alone and our lawyer has transferred 1 house to my partner & 1 house to myself in our personal names (no corp.). Now 3 years later I've moved to NC & have heard through friends that my former partner feels that the house transferred to me is worth more than the one he received & is going to file a lawsuit, a friend of a friend spoke to a lawyer about my problem & said that I can't be served in NC because NY has no juristion in NC. The question is can I be served in NC for a NY issue?? Will I sign online to my bank account & find some default judgment allowed a withdrawal from my account?? What if my partner can't find me, I've already moved once since moving to NC, do I lose by default??
