I took a HELOC loan on my other property to pay this property off per our agreement after I paid the property off my parents are now getting a divorce and my mother agrees to the the agreement we had and is willing to sign over the property of to me but my father is not. We had an oral agreement and I know there is statue of frauds but does it fall out of statue of frauds due to full performance and major renovations of the property. I lived in the house for 8 years
A: You may have some rights and remedies. I recommend that you contact an attorney to discuss the exact facts, agreements, evidence, willingness of Mom to cooperate, etc. Then you'll be able to make a decision about how to move forward in demanding your property.
