Divorced, haven’t lived in home for 4 years. Ex promised she would refinance, she hasn’t and won’t, mortgage company states that an assumption of mortgage cannot be done. There is no divorce decree, everything was settled privately, I took her at her word that she’d refinance . I want my... Read more »
You have no options. Should have done a divorce decree. You can sue for partition to force a sale, and get the mortgage paid off.
The money would be used to pay for her funeral and what not
Not immediately for this. You can get it back later.
My Aunt Margie died in 2015. She had three siblings; Tommy, Richie and John. Tommy was my dad and he passed in 2009. My Uncle Richie passed away in 2007 and also has two children. My Uncle John is still alive and my family and I don't speak to him. I was told by a friend that I should be entitled... Read more »
It depends if there was a will or not. And, if the money passed by a beneficiary designation or is in the estate. If an estate proceeding is opened, you should get notice. Or, you can call the clerk and see if one was filed.
Even if the buyer qualifies with the landlord requirements
Depends on the terms of your lease, which govern.
He claims he mailed papers but I have not received them. Tonight he was supposed to serve papers, he claimed they were the second round. He wanted to bring them to me at 8pm on a Thursday night. I work 7am-4pm and I do not get home until 530 with picking my daughter up from daycare. He has not... Read more »
You obviously know about the case. While the court will undo any defaults, etc., from lack of service, you should ask for the papers again, or go to the clerk to get them, and not ignore this. Playing the service issue might work, but also might not.
We are purchasing this 5 acre lot that’s attached to our primary address. Part of the lot is residual. Our primary house has two acres with it that is residual and assessed for $42,000 just the land not the house. We don’t know if this will be our forever home and want to make a wise decision...

You are conflating real estate law, real estate tax law, and income tax law in a way that is creating an issue that is not an issue. If the adjoining land is a separate tax lot, you will pay two tax bills. You can consolidate tax lots, but the cost of doing so will outweigh the extra 50 cents... Read more »
You need to file the bond with the clerk. There is a fee. The judgment will be stayed until the appeal is over.
My estranged uncle is petitioning to become the administrators of, first, his mother's estate (my step-grandmother), and then, second, his father's estate (my biological grandfather), essentially double dipping. My uncle had two sisters (my mother and aunt, both deceased). My mother had two... Read more »
You can object. As next of kin, he has priority, but the court can refuse him.
Yes, unless you have an agreement to the contrary. Why would you pay anything without such an agreement?
I hired a contractor for some home repairs. He didn't complete the work and moved to another state.
Is there anything I can do?
Sue here. Get a default, and move judgment to where he is.
No, it is not true.
I bought a 2 family house with my daughter. I paid cash for my half and co-signed her mortgage for her half.I want to sell now and she doesn't. If I file a partition lawsuit and we sell do we pay the mortgage and share what's left over or do we pay the mortgage and I keep what's left over since I... Read more »
You pay the mortgage and then there is a Referee hearing on the return of the deposit. You should get a credit for it. But, there are credits of use and occupancy, expenses, etc. , also.
My older brother has named our younger sister and me as co-executors; my sister and I do not speak and do not get along. I want to avoid the aggravation involved in this. I have asked him repeatedly to name either her or me (I don’t care which one), but I know he will never do this. Is there... Read more »
Ultimate event. But it is fair to let him know now, so he can re-do the documents.

Neither attorney is fully right and both are part right. You cannot do this yourself. File a claim in the ex mother in law's estate to buy time. Then get an order from the Supreme Court as the second lawyer said. Also, child support enforcement can help you. Contact the Family Court to get... Read more »
Is this something that can be done?
Each jurisdiction has their own forms. While Trinidad may enforce a New York form, you would be better if the work is in Trinidad to use a Trinidad form.
My boyfriend’s parents bought a house in 2001 from a man who was the sole owner. It was not bought from a bank, he was the only owner. He died 6 months ago and his wife is also dead. The problem is there are monthly payments still to be made on the house. The lawyer says he has a son who is like... Read more »
It depends on the agreement you signed, and whether it is recorded. The payment agreement does not "die" but it is unclear to whom you should be paying. Keep the money aside. You owe someone. Also, if you are supposed to get the land, you need to act quickly to make sure your rights are... Read more »
The government can do it for certain debts like taxes. But, if you are being garnished there is likely a judgment somewhere that caused it.
The court date was set before the bankruptcy (chapter 7 no-asset) case was closed and the debt in question was fully discharged. The lawsuit is for credit card debt which was sold to a debt collector (the plaintiff). Is there a way I can, without leaving myself vulnerable, avoid having to spend... Read more »
File your discharge with the court and send a copy to the judge for the hearing. You can do both by mail.
You cannot be evicted. Make sure you have a copy of your lease to show the buyer at the sale.
The check writer is now asking why this occurred, since it was not their intention for their money to go to TWO. What is the recourse?
It depends on what ONE intended to happen.
