It’s been almost a year since I signed this lease and she is just now telling me that I can’t rent to own. I want to know if my lease says rent to own shouldn’t they have to honor it?
But I specifically said only if I don't loss my right of redemption. Mostly, evertime we talked I reminded him about, not losing my right to redeem my home. We agreed on a day to vacate and left them the possession of the keys & garage door opener. I sent him an email request he sign it... Read more »

Thank you
Hello, My family and I are dealing with new owner to the Mobile Home Park we've lived in about 15 years. We own our home but rent the lot. Long story short. They came and threw away thousands of dollars of items and even things on my front porch but left most of the trash. They also towed 2... Read more »

I divided property between myself and 3 children. It was deemed a family division rather than subdivision because I only have 30’ right of way. Was told by the surveyor that no part of property could be sold outside of family. Surveyor also said that if anyone defaulted in money owed on their... Read more »
Was told couldn’t be sold outside of family. That if one defaulted on mortgage the whole property would be sold. One portion is in foreclosure and scheduled for auction. Am I going to lose my portion/home?
My husband and I live in FL. I want to buy a vacation house in AL. Does he have to be on deed?
people whose names on the deed are both deceased. There was no will reading, no one truly knew who it went to. It was sold recently by a family member without telling others, and then resold two weeks later to someone else.

The actual Heirs need an AL attorney now to file suit for Ejectment. It will be difficult and expensive but the alternative is losing the property forever very quickly. A Title Search should be performed first so that all interested parties are sued.
We have made monthly payments, including homeowners and have been paying property tax. The only paperwork we signed was promissory note and vendor's lien deed. The vendor's lien does say the grantor was to have filed deed with the courthouse. Now we are finding that potentially this was... Read more »

Was this transaction (if a "purchase") conducted with a title company? If so you might have a claim under the title insurance and potentially the seller.
However, from the sounds of it - you still owe the original owner for the purchase of the property (If I am reading the... Read more »

Did you receive a Deed? No cause of action if a Quit Claim Deed. If a Warranty Deed, then demand or sue the seller for him to get title. When he does it immediately inures to your benefit because of After Acquired Title/ Estoppel By Deed under one of the four covenants of title. If no Deed... Read more »

Tax liens can be handled in various ways throughout the State of Alabama. Because I do not know the county or city that you are in I cannot tell you which set of rules that your lien follows. It is very possible that you have a right to possession after purchasing the property at a tax sale but it... Read more »

Has an Ejectment action been filed? If so, then you must hire a competent AL attorney now to file an Answer and defend you. If no suit, you may be able to shore up your claim of ownership, with or without color of title.
We closed on the sale 2 mos ago and I haven't heard from my attorney at all. Is this normal?
answered on Oct 10, 2022
No.... Go see the attorney in person. But first determine if he represented you in the first place. If not, you may have a problem with the buyer.

No You may want to check the Probate File at Court. It sounds like the wife is an Administratrix/Executrix.

No, you have to sue for possession and get a Judgement first.
she did not file probate when he died. We want to sell his mobile home. What do we do now?
answered on Aug 21, 2022
Some additional facts are needed before an attorney can fully answer this question. For example, is the mobile home still titled in your father's name? Does this sale involve the land that the sits on? I recommend contacting a probate attorney in your area to further discuss the next steps... Read more »

Alabama law typically allows the Plaintiff's attorney's fee and expenses to be paid from the proceeds of the sale. However, a judge may review objections and determine a reasonable fee for the Plaintiff's attorney. Because I do not know the specific facts of your case I cannot give... Read more »
