I strongly suggest you order a title search and consult with an attorney because these transfers may have left you with only half of the property interest which means the other half belongs to your boyfriend's estate.

An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could try reposting and adding "Landlord/Tenant" as a category. Some questions here ultimately go unanswered, but the new heading could improve chances for a response. Good luck

GF needs to hire an AZ attorney to check out the Probate Action. Then he needs to look into the distribution itself. Notary fees do not justify $130K ever. However it sounds like there are other fees involved, not just for a notary. Also the Deed will need to be drafted correctly to convey... View More

Hire an attorney now to search the title and draft an action for quiet title, reform deed, ejectment, etc. You cannot do this yourself and will lose the land.

Consult with an AZ attorney to read your contract and give you his estimation of the possibilities of suit for specific performance. If you were given earnest money, that might be forfeited only. Agent commissions are often the main liability.

Yes, as a homeowner in an HOA who pays the premiums for the Directors and Officers (D & O) insurance policies, you typically have the right to contact the insurance carrier. Since you are the payor of the premium, you have an insurable interest in the policy, and it's within your rights to... View More
