That depends on the terms of your contract, which we cannot review in this online forum. You would need to take the contract to a lawyer to review.
He wants to take his name off of the deed so I can be 100% titled to house.(He is moving) Can this be accomplished with a quit claim deed? What would be the correct steps to take? Thank you in advance.

It can but you should see a real estate lawyer to make sure that type of deed is in your best interest. If not done correctly it can cause you more money and trouble than it's worth to save a few dollars. You should also check to make sure it would not accelerate your mortgage and the total...

There is no law that would require a landlord to renew your lease as long as the landlord is not engaging in discriminatory behavior. It would be very difficult to prove discrimination even if you were in a protected class (race, color, creed, religion, sex, etc.) because your husband was involved... Read more »

You can remove him as an officer (president) by a majority vote of the board but he will still be a director. All business is conducted by a majority vote of the board. No director has more power than any other. A president just has more duties but not more authority.
There is a huge tree that is about 5 feet away from my townhouse that I own. The tree is owned by the HOA. The tree is causing damage to my property but the HOA refuses to allow me to cut it down.
answered on Jan 16, 2023
If the tree is diseased then, yes, hire an arborist. If the tree is not diseased but causing damage to your property (actual not potential) then you would need to decide if it is worth litigating. You would need to engage in pre-suit mediation first.

The time to challenge the deed has long passed but to be sure you would have to consult a real estate attorney and have evidence your mother was incapacitated and not aware of the consequences of what she was doing, which is unlikely given this happened more than 50 years ago.

That's impossible to answer without reading the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws. Generally, these provisions apply to initial terms and then directors serve three year terms following the next election so that the terms are always staggered.

No. Only the person named on the title can remove themselves. Your mother needs to consult with a lawyer that practices elder law to see what her options are and if getting a guardian appointed is feasible.
