I agree with the other attorney who already answered. There is no period of time to revoke acceptance of an offer. An offer can be revoked before it is accepted, but if by revoking acceptance you mean cancelling a sales agreement that has already been signed, then the answer is that there is not... View More

Probably. It depends upon 1) whether he owns his membership imterest jointly with another person; 2) his estate plan; and 3) the terms of the operating agreement (such as whether there's a buy-sell provision. You have not provided enough information to enable me to answer definitively.

Although the bankruptcy-specific homestead exemption under Michigan law is larger if there is a disabled person in the household, the answer is yes, your boyfriend's dad could lose his home. You have not furnished enough information to evaluate the situation.

You can ask for an explanation, but the fact that the supplier made an error does not necessarily deprive it of the right to demand the amount it believes it is owed. But if you could show that you relied upon the first billing to your detriment, you might have a defense to payment of the... View More
the estate executor claimed my sister owes the crop sale proceeds to the estate, or must pay the estate the expense money the estate paid a farmer to plant and harvest. Does she?

answered on Mar 12, 2017
I believe that growing crops are real property under Ohio law, which would mean that unless there are additional facts to take into consideration, your sister took title to the crops. Try posting this as an Ohio real-estate-law question. The anaswer is governed by Ohio law.
The information I asked for they did not comply within reasonable time it's been 2 months today I received summons it can they sue me still what can I do or what do I do because it agree to pay on those terms.

Yes, your creditor can sue you and apparently has done so. You should see an attorney if you want to defend the lawsuit.
I am neither discharged or dismissed but have been making payments to the trustee for a year. Court date is the end of this month.
I want to talk to my mortgage company myself.

answered on Mar 8, 2017
The short answer is that you are free to communicate with your creditors. Due to concerns on the part of the mortgage company they might want your attorney's "permission" to speak to you.
Is a covenant deed fee simple? or can a convent deed be converted to warranty deed?

answered on Mar 5, 2017
The difference between a warranty deed and a covenant deed is the inclusion of a warranty of title. That single difference does not alter the estate conveyed. Most conveyances in Michigan convey fee simple title.

Basically, no. Your spouse is a separate person. However, the spouse's income may be considered in determining whether you are entitled to relief or how much you must pay in a chapter 13. The spouse does not have to sign the petition, but his or her information might need to be disclosed.... View More
They already had a lien on it and the IRS said they are sending it to the trustee if it is excempt can I get my money back

answered on Mar 2, 2017
Yes, I don't understand your comment regarding the lien, but if the IRS sends it to the trustee, you can exempt it assuming that you claimed the federal exemptions and have a (d)(5) exemption available.
added to the county forfeiture list. I have also found out that there's no cert on the house with the city. What do I do?

answered on Mar 2, 2017
One solution is to move out. If you have a written lease, the landlord may claim that you breached the lease. However, by failing to obtain a certificate of occupancy and by allowing it to go to the landlord may have breached it and you may be entitled to recover damages from the landlord. There... View More
I have the judgement papers clearly stating this and also have the bank note in which only he signed! How can he get away with this and how can i sell my half of interest with him having a note on it?

answered on Mar 1, 2017
Assuming that the judgment you mention was a judgment of divorce, and assuming that you were represented in that divorce by an attorney, you need to consult with that attorney as to whether the bank note violated the judgment of divorce.
I'm being sued by a creditor the court is located in their city where I used to live (and where their office is). It is a long hike north for me and currently unfeasible with no way to get up there. What can I do in this situation?

answered on Feb 28, 2017
The only simple answer to your question is: Hire an attorney. You could also possibly see if the court will allow you to appear at a hearing by telephone. If you need to file a written answer, you can do so by mail.

he also said we have to sign separate listing agreements to get our house listed in 2 separate MLS sites. Our home borders Ingham and Jackson county. this doesnt sound right to me. he is sending this contract to me electronically today.

You are entitled to a copy, but the failure of the agent to give you a cooy does not render the agreement unenforceable.
That there are separate MLS lists for two counties requiring two separate agreements seems believable, but I am not certain that two agreements are required. If the... View More
Our business vendor company contacted a debt collector and sued our Michigan based LLC in 2011 and garnished our bank accounts. As we moved our cash so they did not collect any money. Is it safe to do business by the same LLC or have to start new business company?

answered on Feb 16, 2017
Presumably the LLC with a judgment against it is not "safe". But don't assume that your business can be protected by starting a new LLC like a snake shedding its skin.
As Conservator,(I live out of state), how can I get rid of these properties? All properties paid in full, but way behind on tax payments.

answered on Feb 16, 2017
You need to obtain a court order authorizing you to sell the property. I suggest that you consult an attorney. The attorney will need to know the state of your mother's residence and the identity of the court that appointed you as conservator in order to determine whether an order of a... View More

This would be valid service under Michigan law, provided that the courier is a competent adult who is not a party or an officer of a corporate party. But that does not mean that the Michigan court would have jurisdiction over the defendant, or that the judgment you might obtain would be... View More

Potentially, but to answer the question one would need to know why you might sue the company. If it's for a debt owed prior to the filing of the bankruptcy case, the answer is generally "no". Instead, you would normally file a proof of claim if necessary. To answer the question,... View More
