the plaintiff has not opposed the motion so far. Junk debt buyer. original contract has PA as the designated venue for litigation.
with backed up dockets why does not the court simply rules on the motion? the other party has not bothered to oppose it. seems like a waste of time. Arbitration is the way to go and nobody waived it.

Sometimes, for various reasons, a court won't grant a motion on default. Also, despite the presence of an arbitration clause, not everything makes it to arbitration.

How can we get this reversed he is 80 and in a rehabilitation center in Mississippi his wife recently passed away while they were in the hospital

I haven't had income for a few years, would I be allowed on the title? Am I responsible for payments as a co signer then? We've been together 12 years but been renting. Is common law still a thing in NY? I'm female and he's male. I just need some advice before I sign papers. Thanks

Possibly neither.
Don't sign anything without speaking with counsel first and perhaps a quick review of documents at no charge.

Please call me, any day or night, up until 11:00 pm.

The estate will be in excess of $5 million.There's real estate, businesses, insurance, etc. We'd like the kids' input, and they are willing. We dread any infighting after we're gone. Recently family members have gone through torture. Any thoughts on how to best proceed? Thanks in advance.

If a court declared the deed void, the inquiry would then be what preceded the execution and recreation of the deed.
