Sold a house a week ago, and have been requesting the payoff statement for months.

In New Hampshire, when it comes to residential mortgage loans, lenders are generally obligated to provide payoff statements to borrowers in a timely manner. Under the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), upon receipt of a written request from the borrower, the servicer is usually... View More
2 years ago I purchased a home with the partner I’d been with for 8 years, both our names were put on the deed and mortgage (though I put in more than double the money he did and it was MY great credit that got us it). We separated shortly after and he has since REFUSED to sell it, refinance, buy... View More

Unless it is his homestead, this sounds like a job for a suit to partition by sale. Co-owners of real property (called co-tenants in common in law) can petition the court at any time to partition the property by sale. The court will balance the equities based upon each party's contributions... View More

You do not have to ever record a Deed. But if you do not, then the Deed is only controlling between the Parties in the Deed, with no notice to the world of title. Without recording, others can claim title instead of the actual owner.
is it better to ask for all names to be on the lease or use a separate contract between the 4 tenants so the one who actually signs the lease is not 100% responsible. Thanks

I'm not sure I follow the question and I think anyone who wants to answer you will need more information.

We bought a house four years ago. As of recent, we have discovered serious issues with the well. We called the same plumber the previous owner used. He disclosed to us that the previous owner was aware of issues with the well since 2006. Nothing was disclosed to us at closing or at all. Can we sue?

The short answer is, maybe. The purchase agreements, disclosure documents and other related documents would need to be reviewed to determine how best to proceed. Often time, the contract will require mediation first. A real estate attorney would be able to help you review these documents and... View More

Hi there. I would need a lot more information and a better understanding of your situation to determine the answer to your question. Please feel free to contact me to discuss.

First, not all power of attorney agreement will include the authority to sell property. Often if it does, it is applicable only while the donor is alive unless there was some sort of transfer of that right. Second, whether or not the property has already been transferred or disposed of would be an... View More

Thanks for your question. In order to answer fully, I'd need to know, at a minimum, terms of the business purchase and what you want to patent. I'd also need to review the business purchase documents. If you're interested in hiring my firm for this, please just let me know. Thank you.

I would need a bit more information to thoroughly and thoughtfully answer this question. Having a lien on a property does not necessarily lead to ownership. A lienholder would need to foreclose or auction the property, if applicable, and the highest bidder would become the owner of the property.... View More

This really depends on your claim. In New Hampshire, undischarged mortgages that have been on record for more than 50 years become void unless prior to the 50 years the mortgagee or assignee state the mortgage is not discharged, and upon recording of such, the 50 years begins again. N.H. RSA... View More

This is an interesting question, but probably not one where you will find a definitive answer. In particular, if the tree is within the airspace and poses a danger, property ownership of the tree may not be the sole determining factor for who is responsible for it. Any answer would probably come... View More
I may file bankruptcy. Is the real property in the trust considered my asset? Can it be taken away from me? (I am co-trustee and beneficiary)

answered on May 2, 2020
The answer could go either way depending on the terms of the trust. Have an attorney who understands trusts and asset protection review this trust.

Yes. You will need to reopen bankruptcy and avoid the lien to be free of it.
