Your question is incomprehensible. If you signed a promissory note to evidence your agreement to repay a loan, nothing in your question indicates that you have been relieved of liability on the note.

The Michigan LLC Act requires that the company's books and records be maintained at the registered office or its principal place of business. MCL 450.4213. You could use the Troy address as the registered office even if it is not the principal place of business. Whether you should do so is... View More

I view this as a maintenance issue. Who, under the lease, has the duty to maintain the experior walls, doors amd windows? If the problem could be cured with repair, i and maintence is on the landlord, it may be his responsibility. Perhaps, however, it cannot be prevented at a reasonable cost and... View More

Sounds like a potential problem. Is it a dedicated roadway owned by the county or municipality? If so, it is not your property. Is it a formal easement? Also a problem for you. The continuous use my result in a prescriptive easement. If the users of the gravel road are simply tresspassers,... View More

You should consult confidentially with an attorney rather than receive advice on this developing matter through a public forum.

No. However "pursuant to MCL 700.2402 the surviving spouse of a decedent who was domiciled in this state is entitled to receive a homestead allowance of $15,000." You may want to consider a conveyance by the husband to the husband and wife.

Yes. If it’s property under non-bankrtcy law, it’s generally property of the estate under bankruptcy law. The issue becomes whether there’s an applicable exemption. The answer with respect to a cat is probably not other than under 11 USC 522(d)(5). Ask an attorney for the details.

Florida law will govern the transfer upon death of the real property located in Florida. If you and your father are joint tenants, and the only joint tenants, you, as the survivor, will own the property. Your sister could potentially have the power to convey your father's interest in the... View More

Possibly. Probably yes in the short term, and perhaps completely in the long term. The answer to this question requires a review by a qualified attorney of your complete situation. Look for an attorney experienced in personal bankruptcy.

If the lender purchased the property at the sheriff's sale and subsequently re-sells it, the new owner simply steps into the lender's shoes as title-holder. The redemption price is not affected. For example, if the bid at the sheriff's sale was $100,000, and the lender re-sold the... View More

As a Michigan resident, you can choose between the "federal" exemptions and the "state" exemptions. There is a lot of information available on the internet if you want to research this yourself. An attorney experienced in bankruptcy law will be able to advise you as to the... View More

It sounds like a good reason for her employer to fire her. The next questions are: Whether this scheme results in monetary liability to the employer; and whether it might constitute a crime. I don't think that there is enough information for an attorney to definitively answer the question,... View More

A search of the real-property records is always a good tool in establishing the state of title to property. The records do not, by definition, reveal unrecorded matters. "Real estate contract law" does not so much impose requirements on parties to transactions to verify the state of... View More

This is from MCL 800.404: "The state may recover the expenses incurred or to be incurred, or both, by the state for the cost of care

Next step: go to www.pacer.gov and perform a search for the case or case number. Your question does not provide enough information for me to be more specific about the first steps. Once you find the case, you need to look at schedule D, E or F to see if your company is listed as a creditor.

Quite possibly. I don't know what you mean by the creditor "discharging" the loan. That's probably not the proper term. If the creditor "wrote off" the debt, it is no longer carried as an asset on its books, but the act of writing it off (which also goes by other... View More

1. See an attorney.

2. Have the attorney threaten a suit for partition.

3. File the suit for partition.

4. Both sides will spend a lot in attorney fees if it dies not settle.

The automatic stay (generally) goes into effect upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition. It is the automatic stay that stops a garnishment. When the case is dismissed, the stay ends, and garnishments can resume.

Who is liable for the bill? If your deceased spouse was liable, his or her estate would be liable. If there is no estate, the question becomes whether someone else (such as you) guaranteed payment of the bill. If so, you may be liable.

Quite possibly. The question is whether, under the organizational documents for your "company", a 25% owner has the power to veto a sale approved by the majority. Usually, the majority rules. If so, they can close the sale.
