The HELOC servicing company sent me a letter threatening me that they would force home insurance on me if I did not... Read more »

Take all your documents to a real estate attorney. You need a professional to review all of the documents to properly advise you.
I have a estimate of $5,000 debt, back rent of $8000 and a car loan I'm still wanting to continue to keep. I can't catch up on my rent or debt. I'm a single mom with my only income. Should I file for bankruptcy?
answered on Jun 28, 2022
On the surface it sounds like you may qualify. You will want to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to go over specific income numbers, debts, and assets. Most offer free consultations.
I never have filed for bankruptcy and I'm thinking I need to. I need to know if this is the right thing to do. I also owe back rent and would like to know if that would be included?
answered on Jun 27, 2022
Try calling and speaking to bankruptcy attorneys. Most offer free consultations.

There is barely any information stated here that would allow to an attorney to guess what form would apply. Please restate your question and provide more detailed facts.

Claims he gave me the down payment which he never did. It’s in my name. Do I need to go to that state or does he need to sue me in the state I live? Personal Jurisdiction?

This sounds like a scam. Debt collections send you written notices. They rarely call. Also if you only have ssi, you may be judgment proof as debt collectors cannot touch ssi.
There's no contract or agreement..

I bought a SFR in August of 2021. Market was really hot back then and I ended up offering 50k over asking price for a property that looks good from afar but was remodeled without permits (kitchen, added a 4th bedroom) plus converted garage to an ADU and nothing was done to code. The sellers nor... Read more »

Unfortunately you admit that you were informed during escrow and before closing and you decided to proceed with the purchase. That means that you had knowledge and cannot claim failure to disclose. In other words, litigation will cost you quite a bit and you are not likely to succeed given the... Read more »

if you only get ss, creditors cannot collect from you, assuming you have no other assets. you would benefit from consulting with a bankruptcy attorney to go over your assets, income, and expenses. there's not enough information to give you proper specific advice.

The simple answer is yes you can sell to another buyer if your current buyer officially backs out. The dispute with the current buyer is simple the cash on deposit. You will want to speak to your broker and a real estate attorney to have the proper demand letters and legal process taken.
Contract was recorded more than 2 years after purchase, now solar company is saying the solar has only been used for 4 years. We are selling the home and we're going to payoff the lease. The contract is 10 years old and they are charging as if it's been 4, resulting in a 10k Increase in payoff.
answered on Apr 21, 2022
there's no actual question posted for attorneys to answer. if the home is being sold, talk to the real estate broker about this as they will likely be able to explain this. or you will need to hire and pay an attorney to review the documents and have a full consultation regarding options.

Grant deed or quitclaim deed and a preliminary change of ownership form. However, you could trigger reassessment of your property which could affect your property tax amount. So you may want to speak with estate planning attorney before you do anything.
I sued a couple of persons, only one responded to the complaint.
Damages or are they liable for punitive, exemplary and other damages
answered on Apr 5, 2022
Business disputes are generally not subject to punitive damages and this appears to be a bank loan to an LLC so it’s a business dispute. You will need to seek a consultation with a business attorney that can advise you after all facts are provided.
In our name only? They have not paid their half share of the purchase nor taxes since the early 80’s. I want full title so I can sell it. Currently not worth what we have paid in taxes over the years. What can we do.
answered on Mar 29, 2022
you can ask them to relinquish their interest to you and if they dont then you can file a partition action and have the court order the property sold and funds distributed based on contributions and payments towards the property.
