Aunt must hire a competent NV attorney to file suit to set aside the transfer. If there is a trust, then the trustee may still have legal title if he did not convey. Attorney In Fact must also be sued for breach of fiduciary duty. Ejectment action may be needed in addition to a Quiet Title,... View More

If no action is taken by the lienholder within this time frame, the lien can expire. However, there are other types of liens with... View More

Yes, you can possibly sue the person who caused the fire for negligence or gross negligence. Gross negligence is somewhat harder to prove but could give rise to punitive damages if you sustained bodily injuries from the fire.

If your mother dies before her boyfriend, he will end up owning the property they hold in joint tenancy. If you are an only child and your mother dies without a will you will have to probate the house solely in her name but you will get it unless creditors have a claim. Even if she had willed the...

convey property, I a in process of evicting him .. Can I file a lis pendes on y property so he can not do convey nor place lien on y property
answered on Jun 14, 2023
A notice of lis pendens does not preclude another person from placing a lien (fraudulent or not) on a parcel of real estate.
If your name is on the deed as the owner of the property, a notice of lis pendens would serve no purpose for you.
In fact, if the tenant were to sue you to... View More

You probably own it as the sole heir. Hire an attorney to search the title, determine heirship, and possibly evict the relatives. If only a tenant in common, then partition may be in order.
Since NV is a common law state am I entitled to part of the house/equity? Even if a quick claim deed was signed?
If so how do we claim this?
answered on Oct 26, 2022
Nevada does not recognize common law, but is a community property state. This means that anything that is acquired during the marriage, debts, properties and/or assets are subject to equitable division upon a divorce. Thus the house that was purchased during the marriage would have been subject... View More

Obviously you are a month to month renter. You have possession so the owner will have to sue and serve you to recover possession. Telling you to leave means nothing.
Home has no mortgage.
