That is probably up to the bondsman, who you should call as you are his prisoner. If the bondsman asks the Court to exonerate him, then the Judge may set a bond or possibly release you on your own recognizance. But 4 years is a long time not to go to trial. Talk to your lawyer. Be ready with a... View More 
The clerks office refused to record the deed since they did not have a deed on file showing indivdual mortgage company that sold it to my uncle. My uncle never recorded that deed.

It sounds like there was not a mortgage but a contract for a deed. If such, record title was never in the Uncle, and a possible breach of contract and quiet title action should be filed. If there was a mortgage, then Uncle had title to encumber. Hire a NM attorney to search the title and... View More

This is especially true if there are large creditors of the potential Estate. Consult with an attorney in the... View More

The appearance bond guarantees your being at Court or jail on certain dates. You can tell the bondsman what the Court ordered but what counts is showing up at Court when the Docket says you are supposed to. A bondsman could require you to report your case's status, but it would be unusual.
The lawsuit is coming from a loan company that has acquired a lawyer for representation. I think I got the term "Consent Judgement" correct. With that being said, since the judgement was approved by the courts, is it still necessary for me to go to court?

It is probably an Agreed Judgment. I recommend you still go to Court to get the agreed money Judgment entered. Sometimes bad things happen, and it is difficult to rectify them. That creditor's attorney might forget about your agreement and enter the full ad damnum, plus attorney fees... View More

From what you have stated, it is a Trust of no particular type. You will need a Trustee (or multiple Trustees) and Successor Trustee provisions. A fund for paying taxes will be required. A lawyer needs to search the title and draft the Deed over to the Trustee for the benefit of the Trust... View More

Property Taxes have nothing to do with the Title. Apparently you need to hire an attorney to search the title and determine record ownership. Usually the grantor makes one Deed conveying life estate(s) to someone, then either conveys a remainder estate to someone or retains it himself. There... View More

Your lawyer needs to object to the Clerk& Master's Report or appeal the Chancellor's ruling. This assumes that the property taxes were in sufficient amounts that it affects the Estate's other beneficiaries. Your recording may not have the legal impact on the Probate Case... View More

If the Deed was not recorded, it has no effect here. You might want to get the Deed placed of record, then establish that you are your Father's Heir (Probate, Affidavit of Heirship) etc. If you have the Deed, hire a NM attorney. You may have to then get possession after you establish title.

Not sure of your question, but it appears that you have already got the sister to buy land with her getting the loan. That means she owns it subject to the secured debt.
