You can be sued for anything, really. But based on your summary I wouldn't worry about getting sued. The plaintiff in any lawsuit is required to prove damages. I doubt this LLC has been harmed by what you've done, as explained. (I probably wouldn't have admitted to forwarding these... View More

Depends on what you mean by "signing over rights". Typically the only thing that's signed between unwed parents is an Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP). If your son signed such a document, he is acknowledging paternity - that's it. By default, the mother has custody, and no... View More

I see three remedies:

1. A construction lien. I am not going to write up all of the steps because it is somewhat complicated and we don't have enough facts to determine whether the remedy is available.

2. A lawsuit against your customer to collect the balance.

3. A... View More

The first problem is that the state of Michigan abolished the cause of action for breach of promise to marry. The second problem is that the other contracting party is married. I expect that the court would find that his contract to marry someone when he was already married is against public... View More

What exactly were his promises to you? By your question, it sounds like he effectively told you "if you move out here with me, I'll do this...". You indicate you have not moved. Had you moved, you might then have some sort of promissory estoppel claim. But unless there is more to... View More

The Michigan statutes on decisions to be made regarding the body of a dead person use the term "next of kin" to refer to the class of persons who can make such decisions. As the widow, you would be the "next of kin". Therefore, you would be a person with authority to make... View More

Let me rephrase your question slightly and see if you don't spot the 'common thread' here and what you need to do to 'stop the cycle':

1) I bought land without having an attorney review the transaction.

2) I had a real estate agent who is NOT an attorney... View More

The real estate agent and their broker may be responsible for writing a legal document as non -attorneys. With regards to your land contract being called due, lenders and banks usually have provisions in their mortgage that call a note due upon the conveyance of title. The issue is whether or not,...

No. The more legal question becomes whether this was a gift or transfer made under a contract. In either case, you are out that money. When you give someone a gift, you lose control once the transfer is made; if a contract, the money is theirs once you offered $3,000, they accepted it, and gave you... View More

Do you have COPIES of the documents you delivered returning the keys and providing your forwarding address?

Without copies, you didn't send them (the landlord WILL claim this!)

Your best bet at this point is to hire an attorney to fight this or just pay (a probably smaller... View More

Did you sign a lease that obligated you to pay rent for a period of time that extended past the date on which you moved out? I suspect that there was a lease, and it went through July 2018. If so, the fact that you notified the landlord of your intention to move probably makes no difference.

Nobody can 'sneak' their name onto a deed. Similarly, nobody can REMOVE a name from a deed without that person's active participation.

Your mother NEEDS to get a local real estate lawyer to review ALL the paperwork (as should have been done at the time of purchase, but that... View More

You really need to find a lawyer; this is far more complex than you think it is. And if you try doing this on your own, without a full knowledge of the court rules and applicable case law, you are going to find yourself the recipient of a summary disposition, meaning your case will be over before...

You can be hauled into court in Michigan even if you are not a Michigan resident. If you are not a resident, according to the judge, you are not eligible to have a court appointed attorney.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. There isn't a category here for ERISA and pensions, but you could look into whether local or state bar associations could offer guidance on attorneys in your area who might handle such matters. Good luck

Does this void your contract? Probably not. However, the reason for the error should be investigated. I suggest you file a complaint with the Michigan Attorney General. And also contact the S.O.S. and ask questions. Perhaps they can shed some light.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. You may want to consider expanding your categories to include copyright/intellectual property, as there could be issues to consider in that area as well. Good luck

you have a claim against the former owner, but not against the present owner, unless the present owner assumed liability for outstanding deposits. I would first contact the former owner and demand a refund.

Yes, but you should raise a defense that you are a minor (unemancipated, I assume) and cannot be held legally responsible for a debt that is not for a necessity.

The buyer’s estate steps into the shoes of the buyer.

The ‘rights’ of the lessee depend on his relationship to the estate.

This is a FAR more complicated and fact dependent situation than can be discussed cogently in a forum like this.
