I agree with Attorney Klurfeld's response and analysis. Nothing to add.
If that agent sends another agent with a client to see the house and we allow it, does that mean that you now have a verbal contract with the original agent?

If you bought the property via a loan from a mortgage company and then you deeded the property to your son then he is the owner of the property. However he is most likely not on the loan. Therefore he has no legal right or ability to do anything with the loan. He cannot modify it. He can send... View More

Potentially yes. Best thing to do is notify your insurance company and let them handle the matter. This is why you pay for insurance.
I am on limited income and just want the bank to foreclose without having to pay anything since I was told the statute of limitations has expired. Thanks.

There’s not enough info in your post to answer your questions. You should consult with a real estate attorney in your area to have the foreclosure action reviewed and then get specific advice.
Good luck.
Part of finance agreement (tire purchase) was unlimited alignments on vehicle. They twice refused to do alignments on my vehicle. The first time because they said it needed work and the second time because I didn't have the receipt from the work although it was done. Do I have to pay the full... View More

No way to say without reviewing the contract documents which cannot be done here online. You selling the car does not relieve you of the obligations of the contract. Now that you don’t have the car it will be hard to show that they will not honor their part and do an alignment.
His widow tells me he willed his half of the house to her. She is living in the house and pays the mortgage, but she is not on the deed. He refinanced the property in his name only. The house is in Cape Coral, FL. How much will she receive once we sell the house?

No way to say without first reviewing the deeds related to the property which cannot be done here online.

I moved out on March 15, 2018 and the landlord said he mailed a letter on April to express a claim for my deposit. Does the letter need to be delivered within 30 days or just mailed within 30 days?
Thank you
answered on Apr 18, 2018
Yes. If the landlord fails to comply with the statute his claim against the security deposit will fail. Obviously if he can shoe the letter was sent timely that could be enough for him to make a claim. Then you have time limits to comply with in order to challenge the claim.
Good luck.
I'm the buyer of a house, that I don't want to lose, and that is in the contract.

20 years handling real estate law. Not a clue what that means. Probably time to hire a real estate attorney in your area to review the full contract and the situation and get specific advice.
He says in Florida I deposit is the same thing as a sign contract
answered on Apr 18, 2018
No. Paying a deposit is not a contract under Florida law. However he might be able to argue that an oral contract was formed by paying the deposit. But no way to say based upon the listed facts here online.
Good luck.

Should they have known? Yes. However I doubt it is worth the effort it will take to try to go after them.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

No. You cannot. You time off work is a cost associated with your filing of the lawsuit but it is not reimbursable in the court case as you are not an attorney.

And the seller decides not to sell. Does the buyer have any rights to make the seller sell?
answered on Apr 18, 2018
Between the buyer and seller no so long as no contract was signed. There might be an issue as to the realtor commission as the realtor produced a buyer.
Good luck.

You are not liable for a debt unless you signed for an agreed to be liable for the debt. It appears in this case your Dad made the debt. Thus you are not liable.
