Rarely pays anything toward rent/bills. We broke up... But he won’t leave when I try to kick him out Does he have a right to stay there for 30 days or should I call the cops? What should I do?
You don't say if his name is on the lease too, but assuming it isn't ... TECHNICALLY you have to provide an appropriate notice to quit as he 'subleases' from you. That can be 30 days, 7 days depending on the circumstances.
If this is SIMPLY because of finances.... Read more »
That depends on what the offer says about accepting or challenging based on the results of an inspection. It can be within 24 hours, 48 hours 72 hours or some other figure ... there is no 'one right way' to proceed. The offer controls. THAT is why it is critical to have a licensed... Read more »
You should begin 'as soon as possible' but if you don't act within a reasonable amount of time, the creditors may file instead, but the FIRST question you must consider is whether or not a probate petition is even necessary.

She had my mom sign numerous checks with loan in the memo line. Over 125k. I do not believe my mom was aware of her balances. She died from Parkinson’s. My sister and I inherited the house. The only way to recover the money would be from her 1/2 of the house. A case has not been opened in... Read more »
I am sorry to hear of your situation. If there was no 'estate' because all the property passed outside of probate, there is nothing to make a claim against in Probate Court.
How did the house pass? Jointly with your sister as Tenants in Common? If that is the case you may be able... Read more »
Most of the mcl pertains to true condominium developments where a site condo is developed more like a subdivision with individual ownership and responsibilities.
A site condo is a site condo. It matters not whether or not it is for mobile homes or manufactured homes or stick-built homes.
I think you may be confusing a 'condo' with a 'site condo' because the two are quite different. A site condo is developed just like a... Read more »
The loan is almost paid off and I want to continue living there as I have for my entire life. It’s our family home. It’s an owner occupied rental property w 4 units.

We do not agree to the buy out amount they are asking us to give them. Not sure if Michigan law prohibits them selling the entire property (hunting land and a camp on the property). Are they only permitted to sell their portion?
Mr Morris is correct and BOY is his statement that "A full description of the process is not possible" an understatement!
BRIEFLY, tenants in common are treated differently than joint tenants with rights of survivorship or tenants by the entireties. Each of those forms of... Read more »
The divorced individual has the same name as me. I have two middle names and the first one is the same as his. They won't clear the title, what do I do?
You don't say why they want this. Are the seller? How was title held when you purchased? Are you the buyer? Why should the title company care?
This just sounds weird and ‘alarm bells’ are ringing. We’re you the victim of identity theft? Bottom line: I’d urge you to consult... Read more »
When I bought the house in 2000 I closed had a title company paid for title insurance and the owner either committed fraud or just try to get over. The person I bought the house from has adjoining land ,that he said was the easement and I have being using it every since. But I just tried to... Read more »
Mr Stone is correct and I’m not sure what the Sheriff has to do with any of this.
It is very clear you need to have an experienced local real estate attorney review *all* the paperwork to determine what you actually purchased and where’re or not there is some sort of issue — let alone... Read more »

I also don't see any citation which makes authorizing a sexually active youth to take some condoms, after being directly asked by same. There is no age limit on condoms. Why is this case posted publicly without permission?

Trust was made in 2006. My father passed in 2017 and my mother is still alive. I understand that the house is now owned by the trust. But after my mother passes and I put the house in my name will the taxes on the house go up or will I pay the rate at which my parents were paying.

Assuming you are the beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of the trust taxes will not necessarily be uncapped.

Can a homeowner file to have the deed restrictions removed their property in the subdivision. If so, what form do they use.
Thank You
There is much uncertainty under this law, but by its own terms it is not yet effective.
Under 2018, Act 572, which was not effective Mar. 29, 2019 an association has two years from the effective date to file documents to enforce deed restrictions. That date is in 2021 so you're... Read more »
The 10 acres is only land but I spoke with the owners and they stated they plan to build a house there.
Are they allowed to build a house with the type of easement it is?
Do they have full rights to use the easement as a daily driveway?
Any way I can prevent this?
Without looking at the actual documents, I'm speculating, but you probably can't stop it. And yes, they most likely do have full rights to use the easement and build a house. That is the POINT of the easement.
You BOUGHT the land with the easement in place, and should have... Read more »

Probably not, but without a FULL understanding of things it is impossible to say FOR SURE.
There may be an estate tax return required, or maybe not,
There may be capital gains taxes due, or maybe not.

There is no 'single' answer -- many municipalities have their own rules, and they can vary dramatically.
That said, if you are blood relatives, and you're within the main structure that probably won't qualify as 'multi-family' or 2-family housing unless you... Read more »
Original lease was 30 days notice and $500 to terminate 12 month lease early. Now it says 60 day notice and 2 months rent to terminate early. We couldn't see the new lease changes until we pick a new renewal term and ready to sign. Never received a call or email letting us know the new... Read more »
So long as you could negotiate different terms or just decline to renew before you committed to anything, which is what your description sounds like, the fact they were 'playing things close to the vest' isn't improper.
If those terms aren't acceptable, you... Read more »

You ABSOLUTELY need to hire your own attorney to help insure you're not 'throwing good money after bad' here. Just because there are siblings doesn't mean they can control things without probate, and unless and until someone is appointed as personal representative they... Read more »
Second parcel is only in my late husband's name. No property taxes have been paid by me or buyers on second property since purchase agreement. Purchasers are now selling property. Agents want me to sign a quick release deed. Should I sign it? I think I still own the parcel.
If nobody has paid taxes in over 3 years, it is very likely that the STATE now owns the land. If the deed and the purchase agreement don't co-incide, you may be in trouble for failing to convey the property properly, but in ANY event YOU do not own the property if it was in your husband's...
