You don't want to cloud the title. You want to buy the property!
Seek local legal representation on how to enforce the terms of your agreement, or sue to get damages.
But this gets even more complicated. Just because they wanted to DELAY the closing doesn't mean they... View More

If you paid for a service from an app that was supposed to increase plays for your music, and they failed to deliver as agreed, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. This situation could potentially be viewed as a breach of contract if the app did not fulfill the terms of the agreement you entered... View More

A forged deed is not valid. You can file suit to challenge the forged deed and regain possession of your property. The notary may also have liability, and the notary probably posted a bond in the amount of $10,000 from which you might recover. You should consult with an attorney because the... View More

As happens when people try to represent themselves, you are unaware of the proper procedures and court rules. Filing whatever you think is proper whenever you think it should be filed is not how this works.

You will need to sue the solar installer for breach of contract. In most instances, the finance company is not responsible for the solar system not working. All it did was provide money pursuant to a loan. The company that sold you the system, and the manufacturer of the system, are legally... View More
The new owner said the deposit didn’t count for the rental because it wasn’t paid to her. She made us pay $700 more for the rental. Can she do this? Shouldn’t the sale of the house include deposits to the former owner? We have a contract with the deposit on it that is signed by the former owner.
answered on Jul 23, 2023
you have a claim against the former owner, but not against the present owner, unless the present owner assumed liability for outstanding deposits. I would first contact the former owner and demand a refund.

A bankruptcy alone does not void a contract. Chapter 11 is a business reorganization. Essentially someone - a trustee - takes over the business, managing its assets and liabilities. Largely, that process does not affect you the consumer.

Yes, but you should raise a defense that you are a minor (unemancipated, I assume) and cannot be held legally responsible for a debt that is not for a necessity.

Depends on what you mean by "signing over rights". Typically the only thing that's signed between unwed parents is an Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP). If your son signed such a document, he is acknowledging paternity - that's it. By default, the mother has custody, and no... View More
