Food yes, in theory all assets should be held and distributed to the heirs per a proper probate.
I've got a tree that's on my property but severely overhangs the neighbor's yard. I want to remove it, but can't do so without it falling on the neighbor's property. The neighbor refused us access to enter the property and has dogs in the fenced in yard. How am I suppose to cut down my tree?
answered on Apr 29, 2018
No you would not have the right to trespass. Not sure why the neighbor does not want the tree cut. I suggest that you put in writing your desire to cut the tree back and ask permission. It will be very good for you to have in writing that your neighbor refuses to let you briefly go across his... View More 
Sewer and tree damage to my home

Pursue a claim with your homeowners insurance for the damages. I suggest that you should consult with a real estate attorney in your area to give all the facts and get specific advice.

This situation would be governed by your property management agreement. Florida Statutes do not address issues between landlords and property managers.
I rent. I'm the only one on the lease. Been here 7 years. My boyfriend refuses to leave after being asked multiple times, and is receiving mail. He is not listed on any bills either. His name only appears on his personal mail such as bank statements.

You need to consult with a landlord / tenant attorney in your area. As for price, I have no idea what the rates would be in that area.
The question is as stated in the title. I ask this primarily because they have a coverage of $25,000 which is, according to my attorney, the maximum I will get out of this case. After my legal fees this leaves me north of 16 grand, but in order to restore myself to where I was at financially before... View More

I agree with Attorney Reynolds response. You have the right to go after the person, but the big question is whether it is worth doing.
I have been renting a home in Florida since 9/1/16, and have given the landlord/realtor over $7,500.00 that included last months rent & security deposit. I have asked repeatedly, but he has not and will not provide me with an account statement in accordance with Florida law?

You need to consult with a tenant attorney in your area to have your lease reviewed and then determine what the next step or steps might be.

Not enough facts to say for sure. The judge is in charge of the courtroom. If the judge allows it then yes I guess it can continue.
Our HOA is trying to tell renters they do
NOT have that right but must contact the owner to complain first. Doesn’t seem right to me that a renter cannot tell someone to get off their property that they are paying rent on.
answered on Apr 29, 2018
Ultimately, it will be governed by the HOA governing documents. Thus there is no way to say for sure. But as suggested by Attorney Thorgaard, call the police and let them sort it out. You probably should speak with the landlord about the situation also to make sure that the landlord is aware of... View More
I have a restitution judgement, can they place a lien on the house that my wifes owns just because I am on the deed and not the mtg or title?
answered on Apr 29, 2018
I suggest that you consult with a Florida Real Estate attorney before you proceed on the transaction. Your statement that you have to be on the deed does not make sense. Normally is that you have to be on the mortgage but not on the deed. Consult with an attorney and discuss the whole situation.
His property management company is an LLC but he owns several other properties I know that I may eventually have to get a writ of execution but what is my best 1st action to initiate collection against him?
answered on Apr 27, 2018
You really need to consult with an attorney to get detailed and specific advice. You have a judgment against an LLC then you only have a right to seek payment from that entirely. You can’t jump to the assumption that you can collect on or from his personal assets or other companies or properties.

If you never signed a written lease but moved in anyway they you are technically a month to month tenant and can terminate the rental with 15 days written notice prior to the date rent is due to be paid. ie: if you pay rent on the 1st, then you need to give the written notice at least by the 15th...

It depends upon the listing agreement. The trustee should consult with a real estate attorney to get specific advice.
I rcvd a letter stating the student wasn’t picked. But don’t know when the lottery was held or even if his name was included. Just seems like they want to control who enters a public school
answered on Apr 20, 2018
Most likely it will be very difficult as you are not a member of the governing board and likely have no entitlement to view the method or procedure of the lottery itself.
The two brothers have to "buy out" the other four siblings. Appraisals came in at $715K and $750K. The non owner siblings agreed to a value of $732,500K, midway. One brother wants out and will sell to the other at $675K. How should this home be valued to the estate?
answered on Apr 20, 2018
The person selling his or her interest would get a value equal to 1/3 of the agreed or appraised value in exchange for giving a deed for his 1/3 share.
If an owner wants or agrees to sell his 1/3 share for less than appraised value that person is free to do so.
Hope this helps.

Yes you have legal rights. Do you have sufficient legal damages to justify the pursuit of a case against the dealer is the better question to ask. I suggest that likely no, as a lawyer will cost anywhere from $250.00 per hour to potentially $450.00 per hour or more.
Hope this helps.

Can’t say for sure without first reviewing the contract.
I strongly suggest that you consult with a real estate from your area to get specific advice.
answered on Apr 20, 2018
No way to say without more info. But if you just got a lis pendens that is typically done at the start of a case. Thus this appears to be the beginning of the case for you.
Good luck.
