As part of the Decade of Elderly People, Kazan residents were provided with free legal assistance
An event to provide free legal assistance dedicated to the International Day of Older Persons was held in Kazan. The Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Tatarstan organized the reception of citizens.
Residents of Kazan were able to ask more than thirty questions in various legal areas and receive free consultations from experienced lawyers representing the State Legal Bureau of the Republic, relevant government agencies, as well as the prosecutor's office, the Bar and Notary Chambers of Tatarstan.
One of the women contacted the lawyer with a request for help. She said that she had lent money to her friend's son. At first, he regularly repaid the debt, but soon stopped answering calls and did not return the remaining amount. At the same time, she did not have any receipt confirming the fact of the loan.
The lawyer noted that it is possible to repay the debt without a receipt, but this may be more difficult than with one. First, you need to try to agree with the debtor peacefully. Remind him of the debt, explain the current situation and ask him to return the money. If the debtor still does not return the money, you can go to court.
In court, you will need to prove the fact of transferring the money to the debtor. The main condition is the collection of evidence that will confirm the provision of the loan. This may be witness testimony, correspondence, bank statements or any other documents confirming the transfer of money.
The lawyer took this issue into work for subsequent resolution of the situation.
The woman expressed gratitude for the help. «This event was a real salvation for me. When I faced the problem, I was at a loss and did not know where to start. Today they explained everything to me, gave me some guidance. Thank you!», - she said.
Most often, Kazan residents asked questions related to land legislation, pension and social security, as well as the provision of housing and communal services.
It is worth noting that all events to provide free legal assistance are organized within the framework of the state program «Development of Justice in the Republic of Tatarstan».
