They say I didn't pay all of it but there is a contract and I have proof of payments made.

This sounds like you had an installment sales contract or a contract for deed. The failure of the owning party to transfer the asset will require a beach of contract action against them. There possibly may be attorney fee repayment as part of this action.

My question is this: What percentage of the property does B now own? WHat percentage does C now own, and what percentage does D now own?
Second part, and most important part of the question is this:
Is the property now held as a tenancy in common or a joint tenancy? Or could it be... View More

Second question first - the transfer changed the property ownership to tenants in common.
First question second - each party now has one-third unless there is contrary wording specifically changing that.
Here is a portion of the Title Note published by The Fund, a statewide... View More
How exactly is the ownership of the property now structured? Can I get a document that states this, and do I need one? Previous deeds stated the joint tenancy. This last one does not. My understanding is that I now own 50% of the property; 25 % as tenants in common, and 25% as JTWRS.

You need a mortgage broker that understands the law - good luck on that.
A real estate attorney could write an attorney opinion and the mortgage broker should be able to accept that.
Are we responsible to pay a "buying Agent" commission? The buyers are not represented by agent and drawing up contracts with lawyers.
answered on Mar 27, 2017
Since you have a listing agent you are obligated to pay the listing agent a commission as set forth in the Exclusive Listing Agreement you signed. If no real estate agent brought in the buyer, then the amount of the commission to your broker is set forth in the Exclusive Listing Agreement. If... View More

You have to look at this from the tenant's point of view. That view is essentially you control them and they don't like it. But that is the contract between you and the tenant - the Lease.
Once the lease is over IF you allow them to stay in the unit they become holdover tenants... View More
After reviewing the contract I added and modified some of the items and signed it and emailed it back to him. He asked for deposit and I paid. The Survayor never initialed the modified item and never sent it back to me for initial. Is this contract valid.

Repost this saying your location is California so California attorneys see the question.
basically the law firm representing the bank of New York Mellion that foreclosed on my house also represents the company Offerpad LLC that purchased my house. Is this legal?

Typically there will not be a conflict in such representation. And if there was a conflict it would be either the lender or the buyer that could raise it - not the borrower.
My rent is due on 15th of the month, with a 5 day grace period.

It sounds like she is interfering with your right to quiet enjoyment of the property, and by doing so has continuously been breaching the lease. A warning letter to her could be the solution, and set her uo for some you can do thst yourself to document her conduct snd

Your scenario started out sounding pretty good, but the 2nd mortgage could be your downfall.
There is caselaw in Florida that says the terms of the contract cannot be unilaterally changed. You cannot even go from mortgage to cash without the seller approving the change.

but the account hasn't been active since my father died back in 2013. The taxes haven't been paid in 2 years. I need advice about how to put the property In my name and sell it.
answered on Mar 13, 2017
There just is not enough information in your question as to what the situation is with this property. Apparently your father did not own the property if it is in a not for profit entity. That entity may be able to sell the property, but if it is in a not for profit, it cannot be dealt with as a... View More

This question is best addressed by an investment advisor - not an attorney.
Speak to a Certified Public Accountant or an investment advisor associated with an investment company (Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, etc).

If you believe the debt is not valid, you need to get an attorney immediately to review the matter and determine if you have any defenses, what they are and then you can determine what you are going to do about it.

Or do I have to remove my name from the first property in order to sign for the house?
A few year ago I helped with the buying of our church building, but the person in charge said that my name would be removed after 2 years or so. Two years have passed and my name has not been removed.
answered on Mar 11, 2017
It would seem you have two issues.
The first is that two years have past and your name is still "on" the churchlike property. Do you have anything in writing regarding the two years? Supposing you don't you will need to see what you signed and what term it may have. I... View More

An assumption of risk, or liability waiver, along with a notice of what could go wrong on the premises is an excellent idea.

Actually they don't have to serve you personally to foreclose on the unit. Personal service is only necessary if they want to get a money judgement against you.

Yes. But the form of quit claim deed and method of execution should be done according to Puerto Rican law. Puerto Rico may accept the Florida method of execution of a deed, but you need someone to research thst issue or ask counsel in Puerto Rico.

There very well may be a rule about what constitutes a resident and what qualifies as a guest.
Typically if there is a rule on guests, it limits a guest to a certain number of "stays" per month or some other period.
