In order to give definitive advice to you I would want to know all of the facts, including your proposed use, but I can say for certain that the bank does not have exclusive rights to that the word "welcome". I don't see any possibility of confusion if you are using "welcome... View More

It sounds like the contract was with the third party, in which case you need to pursue the third party. An attorney could review the documents and make that determination.

Yes, or the motion may be granted, meaning that you lose the suit. You may want to consult an attorney.

Once we get the facts laid out, the answer will become clear.

If the lease is in your name and you move out with the expectation that the roommate is going to sublet from you, you and the roommate need to determine the terms of the sublet. If the roommate is going to "take on the full... View More

You can keep the property and continue making payments. Federal law, 12 USC 1701, invalidates a due-on-sale clause in this instance. You may want to confirm this with the lender because, although I believe this law to be applicable, there may be facts of which I am not aware.

I expect that the lease provides the landlord with the authority to maintain the property. If the lease does not permit you to post a sign on the property, I expect that the lease would permit the landlord to enforce the lease by removing a sign. Without reviewing the lease, I cannot determine... View More

When you sold the property and allowed the seller to remain you formed a landlord-tenant relationship. Do the terms of the lease restrict the tenant’s use such that a sale is prohibited? I doubt it, especially because a moving sale is to be expected.

The filing fees charged by the court are listed on its website. If you are going to file an application for leave to appeal with the Michigan Supreme Court, you may want to consider hiring an attorney.

If you are filing an eviction action, add a count to your complaint to ask the court to declare the affidavit invalid, to order it removed from the records, and seeking damages for slander of title. This is too complicated to tutor you on. You should probably hire an attorney.

The issue is whether the claim, or the money you received or will receive, can be claimed as exempt in the bankruptcy case. Another relevant consideration is the chapter of your bankruptcy case. In chapter 13, for example, the trustee does not always take control of non-exempt assets. You need... View More

I don’t like to be the bearer of bad news, but I don’t see a basis for a rescission of the lease, or a claim that the other party breached the agreement, so I would say based upon these facts, that the landlord is in the right. Is there a basis for a claim that the landlord breached the agreement?

If the borrower on the second mortgage loan received a discharge in bankruptcy, and did not reaffirm the debt, that borrower no longer has personal liability, and cannot be pursued for the loan, whether or not the amount owed is a "deficiency."

There are some assumptions in your... View More

If the contract is worded as I expect that it is, which is to give you the option of cancelling the purchase in the event of an unsatisfactory inspection, and to give the seller the option, but not the obligation, to try to remedy the defect, then you cannot force the seller to resolve the mold...

You probably mean that the alley was vacated.

A tree, once planted, becomes part of the land. It belongs to the landowner. That’s the simple answer, but there are possible exceptions. For example, rights to timber can be owned separately. I think that your neighbor owns the trees.

It may be true. If you want to avoid liability you could insist that the lease provide for your option to terminate it if you don't receive the visa. If it's too late and the lease has already been signed, you could try to sublet the leased premises. We would have to examine the lease... View More

Once the closing of the sale occurs and you become the owner of the property, you will be legally entitled to evict the occupants. Whether and when the district court will process and enforce an eviction becomes the issue. Evictions are being adjourned until after May 1, or some other date, by the... View More

The question is not altogether clear to me, but it sounds like the insurance payment is property of your grandmother's estate, and that a probate case needs to be commenced in order to deal with the payment. An attorney with the whole picture will be able to guide you through the probate... View More

The bankruptcy courts are not closed for case filings.

You might find an attorney who will file with no money down, or you can file yourself. You can apply for a waiver of the filing fee.

Probably. If “putting sis on is deed” means that the property was transferred by Dad to Dad and Sis, then Dad and Sis need to sign the deed that conveys it to

Dad, Sis and You. I would need more details to give a definitive answer. An attorney could figure this out once the intention is clear.

If only SS is in the account, the bank should have raised the issue, but I don’t recommend reliance upon a bank to do so.
