Yes, a naked owner can in general be homeless, however, what I would suggest is the naked owner seek a consult with a lawyer, discuss the current situation and see what, if anything, can be done to perhaps change the circumstances.

If you were not subpoenaed to appear, then you cannot be punished for refusing to appear, assuming you are not a party to the lawsuit. You mention that your attorney is telling you to go, which makes me think you are a party, however. If that's the case and you fail to appear, then the... Read more »
The home owners built their home with cash and the home has never had a mortgage. Therefore there has never been a deed recorded on the home. They wish to leave the home and adjacent buildings to a specific grandchild. How do they go about this?
answered on Jan 19, 2023
There has to be a deed as to the underlying land. Did the grandparents purchase the land? If so, the improvements/the house belong to the landowner. A good way to confirm owner is to go to the tax assessor website and see who receives the tax bill. The landowner can gift the land and home by a... Read more »

A petition for name change needs to be filed. If your child is over 18 then he is the party to file it. If your child is under the age of 18, I believe both parents need to have notice of the lawsuit and/or be a party of the lawsuit. Some parish Clerk of Courts have forms for this, but if your...

I had insurance on 2 of my vehicles, I’m not sure why the 3rd wasn’t on there. I was in the hospital having surgery and someone backed out of the parking space next to my car swiping the back corner, my taillight and scratched my bumper.

No, if your vehicle was legally parked at the time of the accident, Louisiana's “No Pay, No Play” law does not apply even though you were not carrying insurance.
