Legal Question in DUI Law in New Hampshire

Re: Liability

It depends. Isn't that a good legal answer? Who has control of the house? Also, depending on the circumstances there can be both civil and criminal liability.

Re: Liability

There is not enough information about the trust, the beneficiaries, who is residing at the residence, who thetrustee is, and who does what wth respect to serving alcohol (to a minor?) for this question to be answered. Obviously, all of these answers play a role since merely placing a house into a trust does not eliminate liability for the owners/beneficiaries or trustee(s) if they are one and the same.

Criminal liability has nothing to do, whatsoever, with whetehr the house is owned in a trust. If a person allows minors to consume alcohol on the premises, then they can be held criminally liable.

Re: Liability

A complicated question with lots of variables depending on specifics. Is the property in a "nominee" realty trust? If so, the trustee can generally be held liable.

There can also be social host liability for the owner, depending, again, on the specifics. Give me a call if you would like to discuss this further.
