If you had a legal partnership, i.e. filed that way, and can prove you were a partner, then you can make a claim. You have an uphill climb on some issues due to the lack of more writings, but there are default laws that protect you.

To me, the fact the title company denied the claim is the key issue. This is ordinarily a title claim. The "closing company" is usually the title company, so I am not sure what your distinction is. If it is a lien of the seller you can sue them. It would be Supreme Court litigation.... View More

The transfer must be approved by the Board. There is usually a fee. It is usually handled by management. You cannot force approval of a transfer.
There is no surviving spouse. Can the IRS or any creditor place a lien on the deceased property prior to filing for Probate? What responsibility does the executor have under those circumstances?
answered on Jul 6, 2021
You must do probate to transfer the property. Claims from the IRS and others will get adjudicated in the probate. If there are large tax debts, the property might need to be sold to pay them. The executor would have personal liability for transferring property in the face of unpaid debt.

These are actually two forms. There is a waiver and consent, and a renunciation. A waiver and consent applies to the petition filed. If you sign, the petition will be granted. Renunciation is when a named fiduciary in a will does not want to act, and resigns.
Before the will goes to probate, what is New York State law?
answered on Jun 23, 2021
Those inheriting the house, but while in the name of the estate, the fiduciary needs to keep the beneficiary apprised of expense issues, and the transfer should be done ASAP upon probate.

If it is usual form of POA, and all the powers are checked, then yes.

It is very hard to revoke a consent. From the post you were not coerced. You just did not seek good legal advice.
Judgement if lawyer fees from a contempt in custody. He hasn't paid anything and won't pay. After I get a judgement for contempt again, can the PA judgment be recorded against his house in NY?
answered on Jun 3, 2021
The judgment is recorded in New York. It is a lien on real estate the same way a NY judgment would be a lien. For other property, there would need to be a levy by the Sheriff or Marshal, like a NY judgment.
Lawyers will not talk to me or return my calls. It has been 3 years is there something legally I can do?

If you know the will says you get it, bring a petition to compel distribution. While not a form, this is basic work.
answered on May 31, 2021
1. Yes. NY judgments are good for 20 years. 10 years is as a lien on real estate. Yes, it can be renewed.
