I am assuming that you and your ex did not have a domestic partnership agreement or other written agreement concerning the assets acquired during the course of your relationship. Absent such an agreement, and generally speaking, if your name is on the Deed to this home in addition to the mortgage,... Read more »
You could have legal consequences. It depends upon the facts of the situation and any document or agreement that you may have signed. I recommend speaking with an employment law attorney to learn your legal rights and options before making a decision.

A probate may be helpful because it would enable you to sell the home before it is foreclosed upon. This is an option that you might consider if there is substantial equity in the home. A probate would also allow you to sell the car. If the amount of equity in Mom's home is less than... Read more »

You have provided insufficient information to answer your question. This is an important matter and I strongly recommend that you consult with a probate attorney to get answers that you can trust.
The deed is a joint tenancy with rights of survivorship. His ex wife never had her name removed from deed. So would the house automatically still go to her?
It should not go to the ex wife because of the divorce decree and because the divorce automatically terminated her right of survivorship under Arizona law. But she is now in a position to possibly take advantage. I recommend contacting a probate attorney immediately to take action to protect this... Read more »

The homeowners' divorce does not impair your rights under the lease and is not, by itself, grounds for lease termination. So long as you pay your rent, you should be allowed to complete your lease term unless your lease contains provisions that would allow the owners to terminate early.

You need to hire a probate attorney immediately to review this matter and advise you. Once a motion is filed and sent to you there is a very short time window to respond. This is an urgent matter.

I recommend contacting a probate attorney in the state where your father resided at the time of his death. It is not unusual that a probate has not been filed. A probate is not always needed. It depends upon the size of the estate, its asset mix and the prior planning done by your father. Your... Read more »

I recommend that you consult with a real estate attorney if your landlord makes a claim against you for additional rent. Your landlord must mitigate its damages under Arizona law and the reasonableness of the landlords attempt to re-rent is a fact issue for the judge to decide should a claim be... Read more »

I want to buy a piece of property in Arizona for $42K directly from the owners. The owners will finance the loan. They don't want to involve outside parties like real estate or title company.
I talked to a title company and they want about $3,500 to handle everything. I'd... Read more »
It is legal to do as you suggest but I strongly recommend against handling a real estate transaction this way. You would be much better served and better protected to have a title company handle this matter so you will have a title insurance policy and know that you are getting clear title to the...

Where there co-executors it is not unusual for one of them to do most of the work. A co-executor can be removed by court order but I would not recommend spending estate assets for this procedure unless the co-executor's conduct is causing loss or damage to the estate. I recommend completing... Read more »
