Now HOA is sending me an Agreement to Mediate, stating that the HOA does not allow the property owner to be a corporation. Shouldn't this have been caught by the title company, and never gotten to closing? What... View More

Typically, HOA receives a copy of the sale and purchase contract prior to closing in order to respond with a letter confirming if there are any outstanding dues do and if there are any special assessments, etc. and to do a credit check on the new owners. Therefore, the HOA must have been on notice.
What can I do.

I am not sure who extended the mortgage to you in the first place, which would make a difference. If this person is the mortgagee, then you'd need to file a Declaratory Action in court asking the court to determine your rights under the mortgage. Hopefully, you had a sale and purchase... View More

Sounds like you already have a lawyer familiar with your situation and who provided at least some advice on the matter. You should probably get back to him/her to clear up your residual issues.
On the other hand, it sounds like you need to attend to the remaining items in a practical way.... View More

You must show damages, and I did not read any damages for the first instance. As to the second episode, if your personal items were damaged in the garage due to their negligence, you can ask them for their insurance and make a claim there. You may also try making a claim to your homeowner's... View More

Joint tenants with right of survivorship means you own half of the whole, meaning you split 50/50. To get around this, you should have a separate written agreement, otherwise 50/50 is the presumed ownership. How do you inform him of this? Just Google the term, it'll come up. (-:

When there’s a judgment entered against you there’ll be a separate lawsuit to collect, and they will issue a citation to discover assets to you. That’s when you can indicate your limited income to demonstrate you’re not collectible and that your limited wages cannot be garnished.
Good luck.

That's fine, so long as your financials are the same (closing documents control). And both spouses must always sign, even if one is on the Note and only one intends to live there.

HOA rules attach legal fees. Unless that lawyer feels bad for you, you'll be expected to pay the past due amount plus legal fees. Sorry.

I hate to say this, but it depends on what your agreement says. Although it depends on the reason for buyer’s default as well. I just dealt with a similar situation… and Seller kept it all. But really depends on your facts.

It is difficult to understand what you are saying in writing. It would help if you provided a copy of the deed and a mortgage to a lawyer for review and proper advice. If someone is on the deed and you want to cut ties with them, I am not sure what exactly you mean, a forced sale?
