Yes, you need a real estate litigator for that.
Partition implies the other owner does not want to sell. Usually partition is used when you cannot ascertain the other owner and need to move on with disposing of the property. Partition with both owners present does not make much sense... View More 
Long story short, I just wanted them out. So when I filed, I wasn't asking for any damages, although there is in excess of $6K damages and I have $2K deposit. They retained an attorney, which I have nothing but over whelming proof to support my petition. They are asking the courts for money... View More

I would not "laugh" at their defense, I would take it seriously because landlord / tenant disputes may have attorney fees attached if their position prevails. If a lawyer filed a counter-claim, I would assume it is not frivolous, and they are not knowingly wasting money on a losing case.... View More

A lawyer cannot "claim" it for you, but can help you navigate this transaction. I recommend contacting the county or whomever issued you the check to re-issue it to you individually in your name. If that does not work, you may need a lawyer to figure out next steps.

It is not a trick question. You should mark the option that applies to you. Sounds like the members decided to dissolve it, so choose that option.

That debt was discharged only if the original company was listed as a creditor in bankruptcy.
You can contact the bankruptcy court and get a copy of the list of creditors to confirm, then bring the bankruptcy info. and the list of creditors to court.

I bought my property less than a year ago. On the right side my neighbors already had a 4ft wire fence in place (about a 30 year old fence).

You can use it, meaning you can receive the benefit of their fence being there, but you are not suppose to attach to it. If it is a boundary fence then both of you have an obligation to maintain it. Having said that, in order to have a legitimate claim, one must show damages.
Here are some... View More

Your deed is valid as between your brother and you. However, it is void as to other third parties because it was not recorded, and they do not have notice of it. However, you may still be able to record it to put them on notice prior to closing. Obviously, you should consult an attorney to deal... View More

It depends if you are talking about a residential or commercial lease. The statute you are referencing applies to residential leases.

The late fee is only if you decide to reinstate the LLC. Otherwise, there is no late fee, it will be dissolved involuntarily for failure to file an annual report. You can proactively pay a small fee and file articles of dissolution, but you do not have to.

Sounds like that debt was discharged in bankruptcy. You'd want to double check the bankruptcy case. If your debt was listed and bankruptcy was granted, then the debt was discharged. This means you cannot collect on it anymore.
