It depends upon how the property was owned by the sisters. Can you maybe give some more context? Was it owned as tenants in common or as joint tenants with a right of survivorship?
We signed a contract 5 months ago, they installed everything but the gates and 39' of fencing. They are not communicating with us and have failed to finish the project. It's a safety issue to not have the gates and we'd like to install them ourselves at this point. Can we legally... View More

Purchased a truck and less than 24 hours later started having mechanical issues. As of right now I still haven't had the vehicle for 24hrs. Is there a time frame where I can cancel the contract?

It’s tough to answer this question without more information. What is your role in the transaction? Are you the seller? Are you the buyer? Is the contract expiring for reasons out of your control?
Look to your contract to see what the terms are and when people are entitled to certain payments.
They marketed it as a completely new event, changed the price, and refuse to offer deposits back. They have offered other options such as transferring it to next year, pay for the new event, or lose your deposit. It seems pretty reasonable that you should get your money back if they cancel an...

This new world comes with new problems. Without knowing about the event, the terms and conditions related to the deposit, or any agreements you have with the event, it is very tough to give you an answer. An example may help. If you bought an airline ticket and your flight was canceled due to... View More

When a person passes without a will or other document that passes property upon death, the property passes through intestacy. That means it is governed by operation of law. A spouse will receive a portion of the property left behind in the estate. The amount of the property the spouse receives... View More
