You will need to have a conservator appointed by the probate court. The conservator could potentially be you.

You need to discuss this confidentially with an attorney, not on a public forum like this where the trustee can see your questions (and answers) and use them against you.

Not easily. A judicial procedure, such as partition, could “remove” you from the deed. And if ownership is joint, your death would vest title in the survivor. But a co-owner cannot simply “remove” you from ownership.

The former owner can always ask, but the buyer may not have a contractual obligation to respond to the questions, so it may be difficult to use the law to require the buyer to respond.

Title insurance is not a legal requirement, like liability insurance for the operator of an automobile. It is customarily charged to the seller because it is the seller that may be providing to the buyer a warranty of title.

You may owe the rent, but the fact that they did not try to collect it for four years may give you an argument in court that you should not be immediately evicted. Is there a written lease? Consult with an attorney and provide him or her with the lease. There is not a simple answer to your... View More

A loan generally does not need to be in writing to be enforceable under Michigan law.

This is possible, but don't try to come up with the language on your own. An attorney could advise you as to the proper language to use. Have an attorney advise you as to the entire transaction if you are not certain how exactly to do it.

The administrator of the estate of the buyer, or his proper heir, would presumably have the right to take over the purchaser's interest in the land contract. (Is there anything in the land contract that prohibits assignment of the purchaser's interest?) Rather than to try to write a... View More

You can cut whatever is on your property.

Michigan law permits you (or the owner of the funds) to establish ownership. See Danielson v. Lazoski, 209 Mich App 623 (1995). Someone needs to act quickly to object to the garnishment or otherwise assert rights as to the funds. You should consult with an attorney.

This is a question of military law. The United States military has its own system of law. Here is a link that provides a summary of the appellate process with respect to military-law appeals:

Good question. The answer may have to do with tax refunds. If you regularly receive refunds, the best day to file may be just after you have spent your refunds. There are a lot of competing considerations, but that's my candidate for a seasonal factor.

There's no legal requirement. This is an ethical or relationship question.

Work for someone else until you learn the ropes. And don’t sign an agreement not to compete.

If the man who came to the door indeed purchased the home at a foreclosure sale, he will own the property and can have you evicted after the redemption period expires. The redemption period is normally six months. Determine when the sale occurred. If it was less than six months ago, you may not be... View More

No state law requires them. It is possible that a local law could do so.

Yes, with proper authority, such as a power of attorney or a court order appointing you as guardian (or perhaps conservator).

There is no such law, but I have seen such a provision in an apartment lease.

If the claim arose after the bankruptcy was filed, it is not property of the bankruptcy estate. I recommend that the employee see an attorney about the employment-law case, and that if there is any claim the attorney should consider notifying the bankruptcy trustee if there is any doubt as to the...
