Deed only conveys real property. Personal property in a house is usually transferred by a Will legacy or an inter vivos gift. You may have to prove there was a gift, and if so, hire an attorney to defend you.
I have a right to redemption and I am ready to redeem but the buyer has completely tore down the house! Will I need to pay him the purchase price plus interest, etc., or will he need to pay me for the value of the house that no longer exists on the lot?
My name and the husband are named on the deed, not the wife, but because Kentucky is a dower state, she has interest. She is not a borrower for the mortgage and only signed the mortgage to acknowledge dower rights; her name is not on the loan. She has expressed to the judge that she does not want... View More

The only Deeds that count are the ones recorded at the Courthouse. If he has any unrecorded Deed that was never delivered to the grantee, it is not a complete transfer of title, for which you will have to file a suit for. Was the Will filed for Probate? If not, then it is of no effect, If... View More

You will have to hire a KY attorney that does real property litigation. It will be an expensive and difficult suit for Ejectment, Quiet Title, etc. where you have to prove title. But if that Will was not filed for Probate, it means nothing. There are stringent SOLs involved, so either file... View More

While this would be best answered by an Estate Planning Attorney in the State where this occurred, it does appear to be malpractice.

You need a competent KY attorney to file suit to Quiet Title, declaring the lien released. Have good proof of timely payments. Publication Service may be necessary. Certified Copy of Judgment is recorded to release the lien.
The land has been passed down from generation to generation. There are several owners and we cannot find a few of them. How would we be able to sell the land?

You will need a very good KY attorney to determine heirship. A Quiet Title action, and possible Ejectment, will probably be needed. A sale should be made by Quit Claim Deed only.

Based upon the facts you have provided, it looks like the buyer bought and paid for the property but failed to record the deed. That does not mean that your grandmother's estate still owns the property. All that means is that a public record of the transaction was not made. The deceased... View More

Probably not but the best course is to call her directly, tell her you are not sick and reschedule the sink t repair. Litigation not necessary in this instance.
The other property was gifted to the executor and she only wants to be able to keep more of her interest with no concern of homestead.

Without a Will being Probated, the next of kin of the Decedent take the personal property. All next of kin will have to sign as co owners. You might need a KY attorney to determine their identity and draft an Affidavit.

I don’t think you’re going to find any prosecutor that will charge them with criminal trespass. I would contact the company if you want to get some relief.
