Keys to what? A house, a car, a safe, a boat, a crypto-currency account? Is the item you want keys to yours, or was it your father's? If there's no will, you need to look at the rules of intestate succession to determine who has rights to what property. In order to take any action on... Read more »

You're always responsible for accidents you cause, no matter whose vehicle it is. You need your own insurance.

The short answer is no. Being related to someone in the past is not at all sufficient to show your ownership of any property. For example, I'm related to my grandmother, but I certainly do not own the house she used to own before she died.

No, the landlord has no authority to hold property belonging to someone else. Go show him whatever documents you have showing that the 4 wheeler belongs to you, and pick it up. If he won't release it, you can sue for conversion - small claims court will have jurisdiction over claims of less... Read more »

It sounds like you have multiple contracts with this person, and he has multiple assumed names (the business names on the contracts.) If you are not receiving the services you contracted for, you may be due a refund.

As to the car, it's impossible to tell from your description... Read more »

The status of the probate case is not clear, but before anyone can do anything with the house, two things have to happen: 1) There must be someone appointed to represent the estate - if there's no will, that means you need an administrator appointed. 2) The administrator would have the...

You should Always keep your own records. If you think the landlord is not going to credit all your payments, that's a really good reason to start gathering your own records.

Most won't do it, but renewing a lease is entering into a new contract. With a new contract, everything is up for negotiation. Of course, the deposit does not apply to the repairs; it applies to cover damage to the property by the tenant.

Look here for a detailed description of how... Read more »

It sounds like you have a life estate. Life tenants must maintain the house, which should include an insurance policy to protect the remaindermen in the event that the house is damaged. If there was a fire, for example, you'd be responsible to pay for the damages. An insurance policy is cheaper.

Sorry, CPS likely won't do anything about this.

I was in a similar situation, and got a job so that I could spend as little time in my father's house as possible. It sucks, but I think you're stuck for 2 more years. The good news is that by that time, you can save some... Read more »

Your rights are limited to the terms of the lease you signed. The fact that the manager may know that your friend is there doesn't change the terms of the lease.

Not unless you're doing business in Australia, or that company is doing business in Texas. If the Texas Secretary of State accepted the LLC's name, you're probably good.

You didn't set up the account, so it's doubtful you have any right to do anything with it. Talk to the person that set up the account.

If you already own the land, you already have a deed which covers everything that is permanently attached to the land, or that becomes permanently attached to the land; this would include a house (assuming it's not on wheels). If you're buying the land, then yes, you'll need a deed,... Read more »

I do not know how a property would be "accidently" put in your name, or how anyone could sell property (by auction or otherwise) that they had already transferred to someone else. Take your contract, payment records and any notices you received to a lawyer for review.

If you are asking for someone to explain a particular case to you, (and presumably, determine whether and how it affects your situation), you need to consult an attorney. This forum is for general legal questions.

In general the issue in a case is the particular legal question before the... Read more »

The short answer is yes, you have to pay rent. Your obligation to pay rent is separate from your landlord's obligation to do repairs, and if you don't pay your rent, you'll get evicted.

There are procedures that must be followed to complain about the failure to do repairs,... Read more »

You really have at least 4 questions -

1) Is the original debt collectible? If it's more than 4 years old, and they don't already have a judgment, it may be uncollectible.

2) Does the collection agency have proper authority and documentation to collect the debt? If... Read more »

No, of course not. Without some basis for why you would ask this, there's nothing more that I can say that would be relevant and helpful. If you have a lawyer, ask them. If not, I suggest you visit with a probate lawyer in your area ASAP to address your concerns.

This is definitely a scam (clear based on several indicators) and you should not communicate with that person at all.
