Your current state is Virginia
My golf club didn't follow Florida statute 720.305, suspension of 1 year without interviewing me and was done in 3 days.
It depends on if your golf club is paid for with your annual HOA assessments or if it is operated independently. You would need to have an experienced association lawyer review your HOA documents if you are unsure. If you are sure it is paid for with your annual assessments and there is no... Read more »

I didnt sign up with any broker yet. My tenants want to renew for another year. Should I disclose in lease agreement I'm preparing myself for my own lease that I'm real estate sales associate even though my license status is inactive? Also how do I sign the lease owner, landlord and real... Read more »
It is nice that you passed the test, but you are not a sales associate yet and you are not allowed to claim a fee until you have an active license which is associated with a broker. Simply lease it as an owner/landlord and do not claim a fee for that.
Are there tax ramifications?
A quit claim and the appropriate transfer and tax affidavits will usually suffice but this is NOT a ‘DIY’ appropriate task. There is much at play and there will also be tax implications and the possibility of a gift tax return being required.
That snd depending on your situation... Read more »
She asked me to sign paperwork relinquishing my rates what do I do
DO NOT SIGN!!! Hire a lawyer to review all documents. She is trying to take your inheritance.
House I've been renting 5 years was sold. New owners offered cash for me to move soon (possible but not ideal). If I move and they don't pay, do I have recourse?
Unsigned email exchanges can be legally binding. It depends if a complete agreement can be divined from them.
One of my brothers is considering buying the house. We will naturally charge him a lot less than the appraised price. Does the mortgage go with the house or are we responsible for paying it off before we sell it to him?
First a determination of who are the titled owners should be made. If the Mortgage is not satisfied and released, the brother takes the improved real property subject to the Mortgage. Apparently none of you all are personally liable on the Note, but if not paid, Foreclosure occurs. Remember... Read more »

The personal representative of a estate is give certain authorities in the will. It is common for the PR to have authority to enter into contract and collect rents on property in the estate for the benefit of the estate. If you are not on the deed and are not the PR your rights have not fully... Read more »
been holding on it for two years. What, if any, rights does she retain in her personal effects (family heirlooms, legal documents, jewelry, etc.) that remained in the house after the new owner changed the locks? He is refusing access and has scheduled a dumpster for what he deems to be abandoned... Read more »
If she is not living there, she really has no rights.
There have historically been rentals but the last rental is on the market and the person who has it under contract is asking if they can continue renting it out. We, as an HOA, would like to end the rental option due to past experiences. Is this legal? We can vote as an HOA (only 25 homes) next... Read more »
Good question. In the law, there will typically be more than one right answer. However, there will always be a "best" answer too. Real property law has many moving parts - especially when addressing covenants. As there is too much to discuss here in this forum, please accept my answer... Read more »
Our father lives here in New York.
I have power of attorney of my dad's real estate and financial situation. My mom is still married with my dad. Can we transfer deed to my dad? Can I do this with power of attorney. Who would have rights to my brothers house after his passing? What can I do?
You can report the property onto court in claiming ownership but with evidence on why. With our estate planning services we can provide you the help you need.
Plus fees, death certificate. All I need to do. Just need to know which of those 3 deeds to send, pls.
You need to actually retain an attorney to make this decision. This is not something that any lawyer on the internet can advise you on.
Per CCR's the payment shall be due after 30 days before the late payment is due. They are applying it after 15 days. They refuse to abide by our Articles and CCR's.
If you have brought it to the attention of the Board and nothing has been done, then I would contact a lawyer in your area to review your matter and perhaps write a letter to the Board/management company asking for a reversal of the late charges. Since there's probably more than 1 affected... Read more »
My parents want to add my name primary on a home they own and keep them as secondary so we can homestead the home in my name? What is the best way to do this?
There is no primary or secondary as it relates to the homestead exemption. Each owner must file for homestead exemption. The easiest way to transfer property between family is by a quitclaim deed, but that's not always wise.
And I need to send in his death certificate.
I hate to not give you a simple answer on this, but it depends on a number of factors. You should contact a "probate" attorney in your area. That's the type of attorney who deals with transfers of property due to the death of a person.

They can always ask but you do not have to sign it. I would recommend you not sign it without having a lawyer review the entire document, which may not be worth the cost, considering you are volunteering.

I'm trying to close escrow on a probate property in LA county, CA. After 2 yrs of court proceedings, the surviving siblings were awarded equal shares of the pending sale by the court. My loan was approved and funded and then title company comes back and say that they messed up and originally... Read more »
It is doubtful that any cause of action exists as title companies do not represent anyone. It is totally different when you hire an attorney, which is what anyone should do if transacting in real property. Sometimes Negligent Misrepresentation is possible, but very doubtful. Consult with a CA... Read more »
My great grandmother had land in Puerto Rico and passed in the 1970s. She left deed to my grandma and her sister, her only children. Both passed within last ten years and we uncovered the deed to the land. What rightful claim is there to the land? We visited it and saw it was empty.
This is a great question, but it should be asked of a lawyer licensed to practice in Puerto Rico. I strongly encourage you to do so.
My mother has clinical depression and was advised to not sign any documents. My mother and father were never married and were separated.

The argument would be that the deception (injury) was not discovered until more recently. This is called "tolling" of the statute of limitations because the injured party is unaware of the injury.

I bought a home in May of 2018. At the time of inspection, damages to the ceiling and other concerns were labeled as cosmetic damage only. Only after we purchased did we learn from a neighbor that the home was a rental house for 30 years. It was not disclosed before hand. Now, since that time we... Read more »
Possibly, if you have more facts than what is disclosed here. The fact that it was a rental for 30 years isn't enough. Nor is the bathtub not being on proper supports. You'll need to show that the former owner knew or should have known of very specific issues.
I think you have... Read more »
