Gross negligence occurs when someone acts in a manner that will compromise the safety of other people. Sole negligence only disregards an individual's own safety making him the cause of his own injury.

SOLE negligence refers to a situation where one party is solely responsible for causing harm or damage, while GROSS negligence involves a higher level of carelessness or recklessness that goes beyond normal negligence. In cases of gross negligence, the negligent party's conduct is considered more extreme and egregious.

According to NY law if one spouse dies and the property was in both names who becomes sole owner of property?

That depends on how the title was described in the acquisition deed. If the couple acquired as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or as tenants by the entirety the surviving spouse will automatically become the sole owner of the property.

Can a Sole Proprietor file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Pro Se if their debt is primarily business related?

You can do it but I don't recommend it sole prop or not. I am a sole prop and decided to file with an attorney. See the post at my blog on this very subject (link below) Good luck to you. http://californiabankruptcycentral.blogspot.com/2010/06/should-you-file-bankruptcy-pro-se.htmlSomeone else wrote:Sure.

Therefore, as a sole proprietor, you are personally responsible for all the liabilities and obligations your business incurs.This means that if the business fails, any of your assets, including your personal assets, can be seized to discharge the liabilities owing.GET HELP BEFORE YOU DO YOURSELF (or maybe the sole p...which who cares about right?)...TERRIBLE HARM!
