A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Your insurance company should defend you - it isn't clear why you're being charged.

My friend left me the title to his motorcycle before he went to prison. Does that make the vehicle mine?

Possessing the title to a vehicle does not necessarily make the vehicle legally yours. The title is a document that establishes ownership of the vehicle, but ownership is determined by the name listed on the title and any applicable laws regarding ownership transfers.

No. As long as rent is current, the length of time the property is stored is irrelevant.
On the other hand, if rent hasn’t been paid, the self-storage facility has the right—after giving written notice to the renter—to auction the contents off to pay the rent.

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It may have remained open because it was overlooked in the posted categories - you could repost and add "Landlord-Tenant" as a category for better chances of a response. Good luck

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could depend on why the seller doesn't have a title - is it a minor matter of replacing a lost title, or more substantial issue of title legitimately being in someone else's name. A starting point... View More

She got caught forging my signature on the horses registration papers. Now she's sueing me for 20k for the 2 years she's had my horse. What kind of attorney do i need
answered on Apr 15, 2021
Get a lawyer who will answer your calls even on weekends. You will probably owe her some money and she wants to keep the horse instead of taking payment. My cousin is one of the top trainers in the mid-south. Her fee is $375 per month per horse. That would come to around $9,000 in your case. Since... View More
Im buying a property with tenants that still have several months left in the previous owners lease agreement. Can I void that agreement with my own, or do I have to honor all the parameters of the previous owners lease?
answered on Dec 15, 2020
As the new owner, you will be required to honor the existing lease agreements. Review the existing lease agreements. They may contain language which will enable you to terminate them early. If they don't, then you will likely be required to honor them until the end of the lease term.

Without seeing your lease and the exact language of the lease I cannot offer specifics.

Contracts are open for a reasonsablre time only. The amount of time is usually set out but when it is not set out it becomes a reasonable amount of time as anticipated by the parties. It would seem that 5 months is more than reasonable.

Evidence of payment in full is not the same as actual receipt of payment. If you actually do pay before the bank foreclosure you may have an action for unlawful foreclosure.
