You have not clearly stated the chain of title. But without knowing more, it will be critical that your widow grantor conveyed her interest to you by warranty deed. That is because if she in fact gained title to the property after she conveyed to you, it immediately inured to your grantee... View More

Your basis in the remainder interest is what you paid for it plus any other costs of acquisition, such as recording fees and documentary transfer taxes, if any, and title and escrow fees, if any. As far as the sale price goes, it is whatever the market will bear. Consulting actuarial tables is... View More

First, with regard to the inspector, you would need to look at the agreement and see if there is any language that limits the company's exposure. If there is nothing in there and the leak was obvious as to where the inspector should have known about it, you could bring a civil claim against... View More

By "separated," I assume you mean living apart, not legally separated. If you are married, you will both need to sign to transfer ownership of the house. You can refuse to sign unless you get a portion of the proceeds. I would contact the closing company and make them aware that you... View More

A Minnesota attorney could advise in the best manner, but your question remains open for three weeks. As a general rule in virtually any jurisdiction, the homeowner does not get a windfall from the mistake of the county or its contractor in such a situation. Most anywhere, the gravel would be...

If the seller has already signed the deed to the buyer, then no, not without having the seller sign a deed directly to the trust instead, and if you are going to do that, then there are other papers that will need to be signed and some redone as well. There needs to be an assignment of escrow from... View More

In Minnesota, the court may grant a Petition for a Harassment Restraining Order on an ex parte, temporary basis (or might not). If it does, the Ex Parte HRO would need to be served on the Respondent. Then the Respondent would be subject to the Ex Parte HRO but would have the right to request a... View More

This does not sound like your problem; this sounds like your niece's problem. And since your niece's problem raises important contractual and legal questions that can injure your niece, I highly recommend that you tell your niece to consult with a real estate lawyer before she does... View More

Unlikely unless there were significant injuries. However everything depends on circumstances--what do witnesses say, who started with the fighting part etc.

You and your new husband have a very serious legal problem that cannot be solved by discussing what your husband told you was "his understanding" that all he had to do was give his prior landlord a 60 day written notice before moving out of the apartment he rented before meeting and... View More

Talk to a lawyer about a partition action.

You can keep your fingers crossed and hope that nothing is irregular or you can have a title search conducted and find out for yourself.

A quit-claim deed or a warranty-deed would be the way to do it

The terms of your contract should be able to provide you with the answer to that question.

Your parents still have legal title to the property. You should check the specific language of the contract to see what you can and cannot do, and what happens in any given scenario.

Hello, Thank You for your question! Unfortunately, the work you need to do is with the Arizona court where this was handled, not in a Minnesota court. But regardless, to get started, you will need a copy of the Will. Luckily, a Will that went through probate is a matter of public record (I am... View More

I imagine that you already have this wrapped up, but just in case I would usually recommend signing if you don't want to be owners anymore. You should not have to pay the $1800 unless it is stipulated in the cancellation agreement.

Those are documents that: a) a purchaser would typically take subject to; and b) are readily available in the public records; and c) would be swiftly disclosed as part of the title search. So I would be quite surprised if a purchaser would have grounds to cancel the contact based upon same.
