If one of you wanted to sell the home, the proceeds would be divided three ways, equally. As I understand it, you, your wife, and her mother own the property and your mother-in-law, and her husband live in the house. The house could be sold subject to the lease (if all three owners agree), but... View More

It is not clear what is meant by a "political flag". The statute quoted permits "up to two of the following portable, removable flags, not larger than 4 1/2 feet by 6 feet":

A person who has been given a power of attorney by another person is called an "attorney in fact". You don't have to be licensed to practice law, to be an attorney in fact, but be sure you don't engage in the practice of law or perform public accounting, because you have to be... View More

One would have to read the "letter" to be sure, but it appears that someone, perhaps your landlord, sued to evict you. The judge appears to have dismissed the case "with prejudice"; that means that the plaintiff (the person who sued you) is not allowed to sue you again for the same thing.

I wouldn't worry about revenge, but I would be hesitant to fill out the affidavit insofar as personal data is requested. You indicate it is supposedly from a police department; I would contact the police department independently (not using the contact information you received in the mail) and... View More

And, presumably, you want to know what can be done about it? Whoever was defrauded could sue to void the deed and clear title to the property.
