MO has a Reverse Mortgage Act. I was reviewing Section 443.903 - Reverse mortgage regulations. (6/4/1997), specifically these statements: 6 (c) The lender's right to collect reverse mortgage loan proceeds is subject to the applicable statute of limitations for loan contracts. Notwithstanding... View More

The answer to your question is in the reverse mortgage paperwork your mother signed. The statute of limitations, which is the statute you cite in your question, is a different issue altogether. That is just the time period in which a lawsuit may be filed. Under the circumstances, you should have a... View More
My wife left me over a year ago and moved in with her mother. She has all her mail forwarded to her mothers address where she lives. I am trying to sell my home where do I stand legally? We are still legally married, can she fight me on selling the house?
answered on Feb 22, 2024
The short answer is that your wife's signature will be necessary to sell the house. Depending on the circumstances, she may or may not be entitled to "block" you from selling the house, but her signature will be necessary because of your marital status.

Read your Court Decree. If the mortgage is not addressed then you have no leverage to force her to refinance. If you deeded it to her then you own nothing and have no right to a partition sale. However you are still obligated on the note.
My father in law’s house was left to my wife and her two siblings in a beneficiary deed. Her brother had a judgement that attached to the house and we have bought out their interest.

Maybe. Hire an attorney to review the docket to determine whether the judgment has been revived.
Certain home owners were opposed to the new developer of the subdivision building lower valued houses. A law suit stopped the developer and now they (developer) is penalizing ONLY these home owners with astronomical assessments in order to recoup the money for lawyers fees during the law suit.

It does not make it invalid, but it is still only a lease with option to purchase. It is not a deed.
answered on Dec 3, 2023
Without knowing more, it’s hard to answer your question. For example, does the lease even require a letter advising of a breach as a precondition for filing suit.
They think they on the garage because I did not record my deed and they did but my contract is 10 days prior to theirs with a signed Witnesses two of them and also a notary public
answered on Dec 3, 2023
If you didn’t record the document then the new purchaser was not on notice. I therefore think you’d lose in court.
Can they assume the mortgage if they find a way to make the payments?

If the note is not paid, foreclosure will occur. Most mortgages/deeds of trust contain due on sale clauses which prevent a transfer without the lender's consent. Children will need to request to be on the note and also pay taxes/insurance. With a will, probate will be necessary.

Our building changed owners in June. The new owner has refused to provide a new one year lease, keeping us on mo-mo tenancy. Is this legal? It's uncomfortable knowing he can kick us out with 30 days notice. He has done some work in the building and now the unit type we moved into 18 months... View More

I suggest you hire a local attorney to review the prior lease and see how if affects the situation. In general, a landlord is not required to renew a lease, but it's unclear from your post whether the prior lease expired.

It’s not a matter of breaking any law but rather of breaching the lease, a contract. You may sue for breach of contract to recover actual damages or for injunctive relief.

Hire a MO attorney to determine heirship. Then execute and record an Affidavit of Heirship as a source of title for the tenants in common. Remember someone has to pay taxes, insurance or a note.

You didn’t ask a question. The HOA can sue the neighbor for not paying the fees.
I have reach out the the realtor cause I didn’t buy the house as is all these problems was supposed to be fix and they are just giving me the run around what can I do cause I feel I have been taken advantage of

Schedule an appointment with a local attorney to review the sale contract and provide options. The mere fact that there are problems with the house doesn’t make the seller liable but perhaps you can prove a claim for failure to disclose defects.
I have a previous landlord who is neighbors with my mother. He evicted us for breaking the lease (which we didn't) and has been harassing my mom periodically since. Most recently he has yelled at my 7 yo child for something that didn't happen.

If he has threatened to harm the child seek and order of protection.
It takes a court judgment for an eviction. Therefore, if you were sued you should have had your day in court.
We were given no documentation, no updates. My spouse was told he was a "partner" but then fired. We requested the investment back and we have nothing. Is this lawful? Do we have a case?

We were just hit with a HEFTY condo association fee. We need to pay 3k in less than a month, or we will be fined. They are charging 3k per unit to fix the roofs, that they haven’t fixed in years. On top of this, we already pay 200 a month. It seems unfair to ask for so much money so quickly.
answered on Jun 5, 2023
That is a lot of money, but you've not asked a legal question. Perhaps you can finance the assessment, assuming it was properly authorized.
