My childs grandmother (fathers mom) is trying to get me to sign it over to her so she can pay her personal debts. Do I need a lawyer or does probate court handle itself??
answered on Apr 11, 2019
You will need to go through probate as guardian of your son. The father's estate should not be used to pay his mother's personal debts. You should hire an attorney who will agree to be paid out of the estate.

You should get your own survey done, based on the deed on file in your family's name at the Recorders office.

The answer to this question lies in the language in your lease. Check the paragraph about insurance. It will control your responsibilities and obligations.

It sounds like your real estate taxes are rolled into your mortgage payments. Usually at closing taxes are prorated between buyer and seller for the year. If the county was paid twice, the overpayment goes to the mortgage lender. The lender usually re-analyzes the tax and insurance amount once each... View More

Generally speaking, a landlord - even a new owner - has to give 30 days' written notice to terminate a lease. Your lease may have other provisions. If you don't have a lease, it is 30 days, and the notice should be in writing.

As the petitioner, you are correct that you will have the burden of proving sellers knew about these conditions. This can be shown in many ways: repairs done, older photographs, statements by neighbors, etc. The burden is by a preponderance of the evidence, so more likely true than not.

The first thing to do is contact the landlord IN WRITING. Describe the situation and give them a deadline to fix it. No rent after that date until it is fixed. Hopefully that will get them moving faster to get the situation fixed.

Daughter & husband purchased home but basically have left.
I say sell as is but my husband wants to fix up & sell. It is going to take some money to fix up. Daughter & husband will sign papers.

If your daughter and her husband are cooperative, they can sign a Quitclaim Deed transferring their interest in the property to you and your husband. You will need to record the deed when it has been signed and notarized.
