I strongly recommend that you consult with a real estate attorney as soon as possible. This is not something that you should attempt to handle on your own in my opinion. From the facts you have disclosed it appears that your ex partner has already become the sole owner of this property. If this... View More

The first step is to contact a probate lawyer. The lawyer will determine if a probate is needed to administer your dad's estate. If so, he will assist you in obtaining the appointment of a personal representative. The personal representative will have the legal authority needed to evict... View More

Yes, you should consult with a real estate attorney in each state that you plan to purchase property in. You need to be aware of state and local law and contract requirements unique to each state. I recommend having a local real estate attorney assist you with your purchases.

The owner changed management companies if that matters.
answered on Dec 22, 2021
This can be done if handled properly by the landlord or his management company. Your documents should be reviewed by an attorney. They may consist of an offer that is binding upon your acceptance. Or they may contain language that provides the proposal is not binding upon the landlord until... View More

I recommend that you consult with a probate attorney before taking any action. Since you have been ordered to post a bond, your appointment to serve as personal representative will not be made until the bond is posted. Any action attempted prior to your court appointment is unwise and will be... View More
My wife and I want to convert a property to a rental. We intend for an LLC to own the property, and our son will manage it. My son and wife will be members of the LLC but I will not. Is it possible to transfer the title of the property to such an LLC, effectively relinquishing my ownership stake?
answered on Aug 26, 2021
It is possible but it may not be advisable. I strongly recommend that you have your proposed transfer reviewed by a real estate attorney and your CPA before you take action. Your attorney will be able to let you know if such a transfer might violate the due on sale clause in your financing... View More

Dad has two options. He can call the police and see if the police will remove them as trespassers. Or he can evict per the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. If he must evict, I recommend that he consult with an attorney familiar with residential evictions.

In Arizona the owner who wants to sell can force a sale by filing a Partition Action against the other owner. In a Partition Action the court will appoint a special commissioner to sell the home. The court will also decide how the net sales proceeds are to be divided if this becomes an issue.

Decree says I get the house once I'm financially able to refinance. Ex decided he wanted the house and I agreed he can have it. He tried refinancing but was having issues because of the decree. Is there a way to change the decree?

Your Decree can be modified by stipulation provided both former spouses agree. I recommend that one of you hire a family law lawyer to assist with this modification.

A partition action is a lawsuit and is commenced by filing a complaint, not a motion. A lawsuit can be contested and can be delayed. Reaching a negotiated settlement that is fair is a better option.

Yes, it is not uncommon to amortize a loan over 20 or 30 years but provide for a balloon payment after 3-10 years. This allows a buyer to purchase and, if needed, provides time to build equity and improve his or her credit so it may be possible to refinance conventionally when the balloon payment... View More

I found out that the husbands son has been paying the mortgage and taxes on the property. Am I entitled to anything?
answered on Dec 16, 2020
Maybe. It depends upon how your mom and her husband held title to their home and what estate planning was done by them. Did they have Wills? A Trust? Was the home titled in their trust? Or in their personal names? If so, did they take title as tenants in common? Or as Joint Tenants with... View More

Yes, a co-owner can force a sale in Arizona by filing a partition action. The court will order that the property be sold and can decide how the net sales proceeds will be divided between the co-owners if needed.
