It means that the applicant for something doesn't have the priority under law to serve as that something. What are you looking at that says this? Details might help. Short of that, getting local advice from a licensed attorney will likely help.
1. House Purchase: I bought a house and the title cleared during the purchase process.

What sort of ‘list’ is this on? Can that determination be reversed?
Your BEST option is to stop the house from being demolished. In that case you can continue with the repairs and use the place.
I’d focus less on ‘undoing’ the sale and instead concentrate on preventing the demolition.
Can i get a Legal Aid attorney? My tenant took me and my management company to court, I'm out of country landlord and do not have the money for attorney fees.

If you own rental property you most likely don’t meet poverty guidelines to qualify for legal aid.
Your location shouldn’t matter in hiring an attorney. Ask your management company to help you find representation and pay the fees needed to retain local counsel.

That is not a question. If you need help filing a complaint, or taking other appropriate action, you should contact a local attorney to represent you and/or the estate to begin the process necessary.
This is not a forum for providing legal advice, but just general information.

There is no ‘form’ to enforce a judgment, if that’s what you are asking. There are forms to garnish wages, bank accounts and to do creditor exams but what you REALLY need is to hire a local attorney to review the facts and provide real legal advice. This forum is not going to lead to useful answers.

You have not actually asked a question. Typically the EIN is only used for tax purposes so this doesn’t impact the TITLE but it will impact your capital gains and other tax issues so you’re going to need to amend things and file that amendment with ALL the appropriate agencies.

Yes, "Ladybird" deeds are available in Michigan, but there are also some pretty specific affidavit filing requirements -- you should consult with a licensed local real estate attorney to be sure you're doing this right!

Indeed Mr Arrasmith is correct, but in addition, Michigan recognizes the 'statute of frauds' which requires that contracts for ownership in real estate must be in writing to be enforceable so any 'verbal agreement' would be invalid for that reason too.

You need a local real estate attorney to review all the facts and provide you advice. That is not something that can be provided in a forum like this.
Seriously — this is FAR more complicated than can be accommodated in a public forum. You need to hire an attorney!
I have a Petition and Order of Assignment but is there a document I can get that is more focused on just stating who the heir is? The small estate was settled 5 years ago and I am the only heir but I don't recall receiving any document besides the PAOA.
answered on Nov 7, 2023
The order part of that should state how the property was to be distributed. Whether or not you're an 'heir' doesn't really matter. Did the order provide you should receive the property? What more are you looking for?

You MAY be asked to pay something 'up front' to be removed from a lease, but if you ARE removed from the lease, you won't be liable for anything further. The only way you would continue to be liable is if you are NOT removed from the lease.
