My ex & I are recently divorced. We sold our home, it was financed in his name only but titled in both. Do we split a refund check from the mortgage company made out to him only? I certainly hope so because my income was used the whole time to make the mortgage payment. Please advise, I... Read more »
There is no general rule in real estate pertaining to this situation. This issue should have been addressed in your asset split in the divorce. Your family law attorney should be able to answer this question, or the answer should be in your marital settlement agreement.
Easement is to the property behind us. The property is primarily woods and pasture area not used. The people who own that land do not use the easement properly and go through out property as an "easier" route. We would like to terminate the easement but are unsure if that's possible.
Hire a competent AR attorney for specific advice after searching both titles. Easement descriptions do not have to amount to much, not like the property's legal description.
Termination is possible in many ways, but it sounds like they will ignore your efforts and probably will sue you.

Our neighbor refuses to pay half, says he does not have the money and doesn’t need a permanent fence since his stock is trained to electric fence. Said he will just go back 10 foot and install his electric fence. Is that a way to avoid paying his half of costs ?
There is no legal requirement that neighbors who share a property line share the cost of installing a fence.
Openly occupy hoping to get adverse possession. Has paid 8 years property taxes and all improvements. Claim reimbursement?
You appear to be referring to Florida Statute 95.18 Real property actions; adverse possession without color of title.—
You would have to be in possession "under a claim of title exclusive of any other right"; simply "squatting" won't be sufficient.
We purchased a home from a wholesaler - the sellers disclosure stated no issues with the foundation, while remodeling the house we found issues with the foundation & was wondering what remedy there may be for resolution.
All real estate sales are made with a written agreement. That agreement will likely have language in it that covers or does not cover any defects in the foundation. The fact that it was a "wholesale" purchase gives me pause as it may have been excluded from any warranty.

It can and should, as the grantee does not want the lien against his real property. It may have a second priority, but it is still a lien. If the grantee wants two liens against his property, then he can accept the deed with those encumbrances.
They don't have a fenced in yard or any signs that say private property.
It sounds like you may be trespassing on their property. For a definitive answer you need to sit down with a local criminal defense attorney to evaluate the specifics of your situation.
Best of luck.

this depends on what you divorce decree says about the house. The court will enforce the terms of the decree. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.

Can we do this by completing a form or do we need to get a lawyer? Can we file electronically? I live in Maryland, but her house is in New York. Thank you.
In order to add additional parties to title, a new deed must be executed. Unfortunately, technology advances, such as esignatures have moved forward faster than our legal system has adapted. Therefore, it is necessary to executed wet ink copies of the deed and accompanying transfer documents that... Read more »
my roommate wants to take me to court for rent. So as far as i know when you pay rent it's for the upcoming month right? Well i paid at the end of June which means i paid to stay in the apartment in July. And in August i moved out and got my name off the lease. I did let them know in the... Read more »
Generally you would pay for the upcoming month, yes. Obviously every contract can be different though, so it would depend on when you originally paid and what the deal was. What does the tenant agreement say? When does the specific month-to-month start/stop? (oftentimes it's the first of... Read more »
Once you own the house and the former owner refuses to leave, you are in the position of Landlord and Tenant. You evict them. I would be sure to give them the 60 day notice of termination of tenancy, 60 days before the lease is up. If they hold over you can give them a 3 day notice to quit.... Read more »
I’m told my father can do anything to the property because he lives in my home.
Sooo many issues. Who owns the property? They have the right to say who can make changes to the property. You say "my home" what does that mean? Do you own it? Are you over 18? You can evict your father if you own the property and are over 18. If your father is damaging the property... Read more »

HOAs are governed by a set of rules specified in a declaration that has been recorded in the county records and is binding on all the home owners and any others staying in any of the homes.

My HOA president is verbally saying that townhouse owners are responsible for tree trimming. The "community handbook" I was provided when I purchased the townhome 3 months ago very clearly says the HOA is responsible if the tree is 5' away from the unit. The covenants are vague and... Read more »
Anyone can sue for anything. The neighbor could sue for slander of title regarding the lien. There is no guaranty that the neighbor will win, however, and I have a hunch that the HOA's declaration has a one-sided attorneys' fee provision. That means if the HOA wins in litigation it can...
