This has two elements -- an Education element and a divorce element. If the divorce decree allocates how education decisions are made, then it governs. You may need to make a motion in the divorce case if the issue is unclear. As to education law, the kid must go to school in the district where... View More

Sure, if you have the proof from an estimate from someone else to fix the damages.

I do not know what you mean by defenses. To sell the property outside of foreclosure, you would need a partition action in Supreme Court. If you let it go to foreclosure, and there is a surplus, you will get it. If there is no surplus and this is a short sale issue, just let it go to foreclosure.

Only if it is without prejudice.

A seller cannot relist if you have a signed contract. However, you would have to sue to stop a sale to someone else.

What did the will say would happen to the house? Who is the executor?

If they forged your name because you are on title, it is a crime. If they had the authority to sell as you are not on title, then you have no issue.

If it is in your name already, you need to pay the liens to keep the condo. You list them as secured debt. If it is not in your name, but will be some day, you list it on the statement of financial affairs.

It may be legal depending on who owns the house now. You said it was passed to you in part, but did not say how you know that to be true, or if you own it now. If you are on the deed, and claim you live there, you can call the police and they will require you to get in. You cannot lock out a... View More

No one can enter your home without consent. That being said, you may not be entitled ultimately to all items.

The whole issue makes no sense. You have no liability for your father's debt. A lien on property follows the property. I do not think this collector was trying to collect this debt, unless you were on the card also. The SOL is six years from the last payment. Based on your post, even if... View More

Talk to a few lawyers, like you would in considering any professional. The right plan takes an understanding of what you have now, and what you want to happen in the future.

Yes. It is like any insurance. You have a policy with a number, and in that policy, it will say where to send claims and how to do it.

I think the first email controls, as you relied on it in getting another attorney. Holding a file for fees is called a charging lien. There are rules governing this.

It is not being frozen due to the PPP loan. There must be some other issue or judgment.

The obligation to pay should be in a one page escrow agreement the title company likely made you sign. This is enforceable and you can take them to court.

It depends upon the terms of your contract. However, you need to be a tough guy to make things harder for the seller so you can get some back.

It would be a license agreement. Not too complicated or fancy.

The terms of the trust are relevant, but generally, if all interested parties consent, you can amend it. There is a form for doing this. As it is a form, it is not very expensive.

The wire should have been rejected if the name on the account did not match the account number. Are you sure it went through?
