Obtaining Financial Records Legally

Summary

To obtain financial records from a bank or the IRS after the 7-year retention period, contact the bank directly or file IRS Form 4506-T for transcripts. For legal discovery, draft interrogatories and requests for production to obtain financial documents from an ex-partner. If non-compliance occurs, consider subpoenas or court motions. For legal document drafting, sample letters can be used to request document production or to address court matters, such as striking down a writ of execution. Consult legal counsel for personalized guidance.

I kindly request the court to consider my request and remand the case to the lower court for further proceedings.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Re: Motion to Strike Down Writ of Execution – Case No. [Your Case Number]
Dear Judge [Judge’s Last Name],
I am writing to respectfully request that the court strike down the writ of execution issued in the above-referenced case until the Court of Appeals makes a decision.
The basis for this request is as follows:
- The discovery interrogatories were never filed, which prevented crucial evidence from being considered.
- A decision from the Court of Appeals is still pending, which may impact the validity of the writ.
- Enforcing the writ of execution at this time would impose undue hardship and is not equitable under the circumstances.
I kindly request the court to review this request and delay the writ of execution until the appeal is resolved.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
