You are fantastic, made it easy to understand

weetzybat Thank you.

[@sorayakennedy7799]

Thank you so much for this simple explanation, much better than my textbook!

[@Hall]

I appreciate your thoughtful words. Thank you!

[@Filmaker25]

@@Hall But how is it done? Does the judge just announce to one or the other party "you are estopped" is it a motion that is filed ??

[@hooermasters]

I was really struggling to understand this previously for an exam, I now get it, thanks so much for the help

[@Hall]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Thank you! What a great video! I'm currently working on getting my CA Real Estate License and they asked about "Equitable Estoppel"

Thanks for your note of encouragement. Best wishes in your California real estate business!

Here's another example:: if you are applying for a loan and list your assets as A. House in MA valued at $300,000 & B. 2019 BMW 3 series worth $29,000. 6 months later your being suited, you can't than say your assets are A. $200,000 and B. $15,000 even thought nothing materially occurred that would cause such a loss in value. IS THIS A GOOD EXAMPLE??

[@peterjonas1545]

So, in a nutshell, it's a contradiction?

[@Hall]

Yes. That is a great summary. Estoppel means you are stopped from contradicting yourself.

[@fp5495]

Thank you for making something that's always explained in the most roundabout wordy way and still not clear to a newbie. One damned word made it understandable.

I read about UCC jurisdiction, if you ever sign something and invoke UCC next to your signature it should always be the same. ie John Doe UCC 1-308 creditor. John Doe UCC 1-308 grantor. Different

Thank you for sharing this information.

[@ErickandDerrick]

This video helped me to understand Estoppel better than any other resource I have found! Awesome vid, thank you!

[@hopethatnameisavailable]

Such a useful video! Thank you! Just one question what exactly are the conditions for estoppel?

[@Hall]

Thanks for your kind note. I appreciate the question. We have added this to the list of questions to potentially be answered in a future video.

[@cinema.zipfile]

Thank you kind white man

[@Tns85]

So if there is an estoppel in place is that actual document or motion that needs to go into the court or you just say in the courtroom I claim a estopple I'm not sure I understand how that works

[@Hall]

You say LEGAL, is Attorney a common law tittle?

[@hadesodin9348]

"No estoppel against the Government" what's the meaning of the quoted text?

[@barcelonamariannedr.2389]

exactly what iam looking for

[@Hall]

This phrase means that the government is permitted to take contrary positions at different points in time, in different branches of government, etc.

When the commercial space I lease was sold from one owner to another, I was asked to sign an estoppel. My understanding is that it was me atesting that I am indeed a tenant with an actual lease that I acknowledge.

So one example would be if an employee is charged w/ embezzlement and gets a plea bargain-- they plead guilty in return for a suspended sentence and probation. Later on, when they are suited civally by former employer they can not go back and claim they are innocent.

[@Hall]

Hi Adam. Your example is so specific that it appears to be a real situation. If it is, I would recommend you consult with an attorney in your area. It seems like you get the general idea, but in real situations there are many details and exceptions to take into consideration.

[@adaml2932]

@@Hall so thats when you should hope and pray the court will allow you to plead nolo contendere. It's just a made up scenario I came up w/ in a few min to explain it via a realistic example. I have experience in the courtroom & taken law classes online before but never graduated, so I am knowledgeable in the field. Maybe someday I'll move to VA or VT & be able to intern w/ someone n maybe take the bar exam without law school.

"When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do sir?" -- often attributed to Keynes

[@IfUanswerMeUareGae]

How is this compared to acquiescence?

[@Hall]

When you acquiesce, you give in or compromise to the position of another party. The emphasis with estopple is on your prior position and the fact that you are held to that prior position.

[@IfUanswerMeUareGae]

Wow, fast reply! Thank you very much! :)
