No.

While it is not strictly necessary, it would be prudent to have the Writ served by law enforcement to officially transfer possession from the tenant back to you. Then change the locks to ensure that neither the former tenant, nor his sister can return to the property.

There are two types of seven day notices. One is with the right to cure the lease violation and one is without the right to cure the lease violation.

It depends upon the controlling language in the contract for sale, but ordinarily in this situation you should be able to keep some or all of the EMD. You will want to consult with the title company holding the EMD for the process to make a claim.

All you need to do to effectuate the transfer is record a short-form death certificate of the life tenant. You can contact the clerk of court for Orange County to get specifics on the costs of recording.

Yes for the mortgage. Whether to include the spouse on the deed is up to the spouse making the purchase, but whether listed on the deed or not, he/she will have a marital interest in the property.

If the purchase is a cash transaction, then it would not be necessary to satisfy the lien as part of the transaction. If the purchase is financed through a bank, then the bank and the underwriter for the title policy will require that all liens be satisfied as part of the transaction.

Issuance of a sticker is up to the HOA and should be issued pursuant to their own rules and regulations. Your ex has no right to object to you getting a sticker since you are on the deed and mortgage.

Yes.

If you do not have a lease agreement and you are on the property without the permission of the owner, then you must leave when the owner demands that you do so. You are trespassing otherwise.

No. If you are listed on the deed as an owner, then you must be advised of and consent to any sale of the property.

This will depend on the terms of your existing lease agreement. If the lease is silent as to this issue, then your lease becomes a month to month tenancy at the end of the existing lease term and the landlord must provide you with at least 15 days notice of his/her intent to terminate the lease.
