You are probably junior to the foreclosing secured debt. You can bid at the sale to protect your interest. But a sale without a surplus means your lien against the land is extinguished although the debt against the individual is still existent. If there is a surplus, trustees are notorious... View More

If you are the property owner adversely affected by the property tort damage coming from an adjacent property, then it is your right to sue for the damages. It will not be a simple suit. You will need at least a contractor, probably an engineer, and of course, a PA attorney. SOL's can run... View More

If you are claiming title by adverse possession, then you will need an attorney to make an effective claim. It is difficult and is usually a defense to an action for possession or title, not filing an affidavit. You may need a deed as a color of title recorded, not what you are trying to... View More

File suit against the exact entity that took your deposit. If there is a term in the lease, then breach of contract. If not, then conversion. But expect that the owner will claim damages to be surcharged against the deposit at trial. Collection of a judgment may require an attorney.
"Subject to a life estate, hereby expressly reserved in grantor and measured by the life of the grantor's son"
Does this statement transfer all rights from grantor to grantor's son?

The granting clause is a little imprecise. That is actually an estate in the grantor until the termination of the grantor's son' life, and then either goes to a remainderman or reverts back to the grantor and his heirs. It is a future interest deed. You have not stated enough facts... View More

There are several options. You could make a life estate/remainder deed to your daughter for life, then to someone else at her death. Deeds take effect now with no probate involvement. Contact a competent NC attorney to search the title and execute a transfer to suit you.

You may be able to find a lender for a refinance, which will require you to have it of record how you own as an heir. Affidavit of Heirship and/or probate will be in order. Your credit will be involved. Once you have a source of title, you may be able to sell it subject to the secured debt.

The transfer would probably be subject to being executed on by the government agency. But land in another State would probably not be looked at. The lien is usually filed in the County of the owner with medical problems. Get your relative to hire an attorney to handle the transfer.
