May you remove a dead shrub from your property? Certainly. And if the neighbor does sue you, and if the judge doesn't believe your expert witness surveyor (who you will have subpoenaed at the trial, hopefully) and rules that the shrub was on the neighbor's property, what damages will... Read more »

No one can force you to take your name off of a deed. If your name is the only name on the deed, then you own the property 100%. If you added his name to the deed, then you own an undivided one-half interest in the whole property. If two or more people cannot agree regarding title to the property... Read more »

It is highly likely the creditor could demand payment in full once the deed is recorded. See a real estate lawyer to discuss the possibilities and to prepare a proper deed if one is advisable.

Without a court order, you cannot purchase the property. You definitely cannot purchase the property from only one party, especially if it is marital, homestead property. You cannot force one party to sell during the pendency of the divorce either. If you are using a real estate agent, this would... Read more »

The step-brother may have been paying the mortgage and might have a claim for those payments as well as any money he invested into maintenance and repairs if he was not paying rent.
