It depends how your clause is written. As you defaulted before the PAUSE order in March, you do not get all of the COVID protections, including the voiding of guarantees like yours in NYC. You should continue to try to work something out. Once the courts start hearing cases again, my belief is... Read more »
Lien is bought and held by private investor. State of New Jersey.
Liens are an "in rem" concept. There is no personal liability, even outside of bankruptcy. The lien must be paid to retain the property. Otherwise you can foreclose. While the bankruptcy is pending, you need stay relief to do so.
My grandfather accidentally hit someone's dog the other day, and left the scene (which he's already been ticketed for), and the dog didn't make it. The dog's owners tried getting him to pay the vet bill for the services the dog recieved before passing. Does my grandfather have... Read more »
He will be liable. But, it may be covered by his insurance. Notify the insurance ASAP.
After settling for $100,000 $50,000 was left from bills and attorneys so there was nothing left for me and my sister
No, it is not true. But, a surviving spouse gets the first $50,000.

What is the question? What do you want to accomplish?
i owned the house with my mother as joint tenants with rights to survivorship.
The deed shows a sale for $800,000 but i never signed a contract. My sister showed up one day with the deed and talked me into signing.
You can sue to void the deed, but you are going to have an uphill climb. If you got no money, then that is the basis of your claim.
Although this issue is governed by FL law, you likely cannot. A Notice of Pendency is in the jurisdiction of the property. Depending on the case, there are other remedies, like an injunction, you could pursue in NY.
We overbid on a property that was listed under market price for 425K with property tax if 4800/year. We are questioning why the tax is so low and if there is a possibility it may rise after closing
Property tax in NY can be reduced if the owner is a senior, a veteran or other categories under STAR. If you do not have those same reductions, then the tax will be higher for you. The title report will show if the owner has such benefits. Also, tax assessments can change based on the sale... Read more »
We found a property of interest in East Northport Long Island. Price on property was listed for $425K with property tax of $4781/yearly. This was also a listing of our agent. She informed us there are multiple offers since the property was priced below market value. We had offered 525K & they... Read more »
It depends if you signed a contract or not. No contract, just change your bid. If a contract you are stuck.
Legally, no. But if he says he is the only kid, someone might buy it. You should apply to be estate administrator, which is easy, and stops any issue.
My child support arrangement was unique in that we each agreed to cover 60 / 40 % respectively. I received a judgment for $30 k which is currently being violated and with support enforcement on the trail. My kids are now adults. If i don’t call this judgement out in a will , is it lost? It’s...

Your estate will succeed your rights to collect any judgment.
Very complicated story. Im gay. Husband passed away April 26 of this year of skin cancer. Was a very abusive relationship. I need more than legal help. I havent grieved his death because it was very abrupt and filled with anger. I always tried to stay out for as long as possible but came back a few... Read more »
There are no lockouts in New York. Call the police ASAP. You may need to go to housing court ASAP.
There is a big difference between the two. No lawyer is going to give you a tutorial. If you do not know what to do, hire a lawyer.
After our bank switched over to a different bank the existing account in his mother's name along with her boyfriends name was put under my fiancé online bank accounts. So he shows his account and then the other account.
A power of attorney ceases on death. My guess is the bank does not know his mother passed. What to do depends on issues that cannot be discussed on a public internet message board.
We have no further information then the bank on this matter however do not want to do anything with this money until we are guaranteed the money is ours. If you could advise us as to what to do with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Julia G.
It depends on the size of the account and whether your fiance is next of kin. It also depends on what you mean by "linked".
The driver was ticketed and charged with following too close, fined and that was the result. does this seem right? He does not get charged with killing someone?
Whether to charge criminally is up to the police and DA. You filed this under wrongful death which is a civil lawsuit you can do, regardless of criminal charges.

You cannot do it. The landlord is not responsible for your marital issues. If the landlord consents you can do it.
NDA, . After quitting she said I breached the contract and she might pursue legal options. Can she do that if her entire basis of the business is not legal?
For the filing fee, anyone can sue anyone. Thus, she can pursue anything. Your question is can she win. The answer to that, based on your post, would appear to be no.
