A quitclaim deed does that then record it in the county where the house is located.
The purchase was 10+/- acres. Looked at the property with the realtor and looked at pictures and information they gave me. Purchased the property, received the deed, and started the survey and the survey shows about 3.5 this was 2 plots, now just 1. What do I do? What are my legal rights?

It depends how you acquired title by way of what type of a deed?
Did you do a title search prior to closing? It does not sound like it. That means you acquired the property through a quitclaim deed. You may have claims against both the seller and the realtor.
Good luck
Someone did a balloon mortgage loan so I wouldn’t lose my house for 30,000 for 2 years I paid interest now it is time to pay the 30,000 I don’t have it could I lose my house?
answered on Oct 16, 2023
I am not sure what "someone" means because it must be the owner of the home obtaining the mortgage. Are you the tenant? In any event, of course, whoever holds the balloon mortgage can foreclose on the home. You have to refinance the note to avoid the ballon payment.
Good luck.

That sounds frustrating. If it is in fact accurate that the mortgage has been paid off, then the lender's continued mortgage against the property constitutes slander of title.
I keep getting calls from some business stating I have a civil case. They know my address. They keep asking for the last 4 of my ssn and I’m not giving them that information.

Nobody calls asking for social security numbers if there is, in fact, a civil case filed against you.
You'd be served with a lawsuit by a process server, that's in person.
You can go to the county clerk's website and do a public search.
I'd block their calls.
Does this violate any laws and what are the potential risks of the crew aboard?

"Illegal procedure" according to whom and under what laws? Maritime law? Who died? Who is complaining? The licensed physician can worry about his own ethical and medical obligations under his/her license.
As you see, it is impossible to respond to your concern, as drafted, sorry.

Yes, sounds like you may have a claim for damages. The question is- how much? It may or may not be worth hiring a lawyer.
Good luck.

This is a good question. A lawyer licensed in any state would work, this is not in court where a license is required.

You might want to consider sending Cease and Desist letter because it is first in use. But the question is- when did you learn about this since this other company has been around for a long time, too. Basically, what took you so long? They may have a legal defense of laches (too much time passed).

Of course it is possible and advisable. A lawyer can advise you on the type of document needed, and it will depend on whether your mobile home is considered real property. Regardless, it can either be a mortgage or chattel mortgage, or a note to repay debt.
It is a good thing you asked... View More

It is impossible to say whether you have a case without reviewing your contract and warranties. You likely need to follow warranty instructions.

Grantee's mailing address is wrong rather than the address of the property conveyed? There's no issue if it was some sort of scriveners error in the address. You can file a corrective deed.

Improper deed will become a problem at the time of sale or whenever someone comes along challenging ownership. It should be corrected as soon as possible.
that prevents me from doing this?
answered on Nov 29, 2022
I would contact your VA lender to ask this question. Typically, mortgage loans trigger a due on clause (payable at once) if there is a change in ownership because it is a material change. However, many lenders have a form now to request to add or amend owners by quitclaim deed.
Good luck.

What's bad about a cash deal? You signed an agreement to sell that showed the sale's price you agreed to. I assume you received that money. What can possibly be wrong "legally", as you say, if you received the cash you wanted to receive?

It is 15-days notice whether you are deemed a commercial or residential tenant. If it is for non-payment (does not sound like it) then under commercial leases there is a 3-day notice requirement. At this point, they will have to follow formal eviction procedures to actually evict you. Therefore, I... View More
