As stated - this is completely fine. However there may be better alternatives, such as a reverse mortgage.

If you are paying cash it is simple - but not so simple if you are going to be paying for the house in installments (with a mortgage). You need an attorney to help you sort the... View More

If it is an improper install, then the roofer who installed it is liable.

It is NOT the seller of the house nor the inspector (well maybe the inspector but they usually have limits on their liability in your contract).

Your issue however is that you are 15 years into the roof. This... View More

If it is indeed a nuisance, then the police and town will stop it. If it is an annoyance, then you don't have to disclose it, since an annoyance is akin to you just not liking your neighbors, or the color of the house across the street.

You have no legal rights to the funds in the trust except as a trustee for the beneficiary. If you are not a beneficiary, then you have no right to the monies. Being a trustee gives no personal right to the money to the trustee. Also you need to see the terms of the trust, which may likely... View More

You are faced with the classic example of the need for a remedy that is in Florida Statutes (the law set by the Legislature). It is called a Partition Action and essentially, any owner can go to court and as the court to cause a property owned by the owner and others to be sold either at private... View More

Probably not. The adverse possession statute requires continuous and notorious use (which would likely by exclusive use, otherwise it may be considered an easement) AND payment of the real estate taxes for 7 years, AND the filing (to start the 7 year clock) of a "RETURN" - which is a... View More

Typically the contract terms will govern whether or not there is to be an extension. Most form contracts provide for reasons for delaying closing without the need for a written extension.

I understand this is a FSBO - but that does not mean you should proceed without an attorney. Find one... View More

You can sue her on the contract you have with her (the divorce) as her providing you an effective deed is the same as not providing one at all.

There may be other ways to get her to sign, but none are binding and it would create a voluntary act, which she apparently is not interested in... View More

Typically the penalty is called the damages. The damages in breaking a lease by a tenant is the balance of the agreed upon rent, less the amount of income derived from the actual re-delivery of the premises to the landlord, plus any damage to the premises. Typically the damages also include the... View More

Your rights are contained mostly in your lease. My guess is that what you are saying is your lease is month to month.

A month to month lease allows either landlord or tenant to terminate the tenancy by giving 15 days notice before the next rent payment is due. So if you got a written... View More

Probably this is a scam - they ask for personal information including checking account numbers (to make deposits) and then you end up with nothing.

Probably the issue is that the lender is lending the money to your fiance based on finances. Most lenders will allow a spouse or similar to also be on title. In such case, the lender must have all owner parties sign the mortgage - but you would not have to sign the note.

Alternatively,... View More

You should hire an attorney. If the house was not in your step mother's name (as well as your father's) then she is entitled only to a life estate in the property - with you (and any siblings) being entitled to the home upon her death.

The important aspect of this is that you... View More

If it is your landlord's fault why you have no power, then maybe. Otherwise if it is because of mother nature, the answer is no.

The news is reporting that residents are now being allowed in. However the government does have the right to protect its citizens from harm, and that includes preventing the good and the bad from getting into restricted areas. This is similar to a curfew which aims to protect property as well as... View More

The landlord is not responsible to what it does not control. There is no right of compensation or rent abatement for a residential lease in this situation.

Specifically, the date of the recorded CERTIFICATE OF TITLE from the foreclosure sale of your home is the date you were no longer the owner of that property.

You can contact the person living there to inquire if they are tenants or owners. You cannot interfere with that person or make any offer contrary to the still existing rights of the owner. If it is the owner, you can discuss that you were the purchaser at the foreclosure sale and you can make... View More

Are these new demands or has this been the case since you started the lease?

Also, Since this seems to be a week to week lease, the rules of the landlord could be changed with one week notice. If you don't like the rules, you should make the decision to live with them or move.... View More

The best place to find an attorney is in a local search for attorneys that do this type of work (real estate litigation) in the county in which the property is located - or nearby, as stated in the other answer.
