Make a motion to vacate the judgment. That will get their attention.

My brother recently passed away, now it's just me and my mom. Is there any way for me to be added to the life estate?
answered on Apr 8, 2024
You may share in whatever interest your mother has if she conveys it (all or a share) to you, but she cannot convey more than she has; so her life tenancy would not extend beyond her lifetime. Upon her death your brother’s heirs or those named in his will if he had one (whether that includes you... View More

When someone leaves a Will, the Executor must follow the instructions contained within. Normally debts are paid from the estate before distributions are made. I am confused about your statement that the house was sold in 2017 and property taxes are still due.
I may need to sell for less than what the bank has as payoff amount.

What you want to do is a short sale. The bank needs to approve it. Likely not worth your time or money.

Did you really leave a closing without keys/possession and without a formal post-closing possession agreement?
What money did he receive today? I hope you're not talking about an escrow to ensure his performance.

I've heard that there's a class action lawsuit against some real estate businesses for artificially increasing their commissions. I bought a house in 2021. It went on the market for $230K and I agreed to pay that since it was a house I really wanted. A few days later, my agent phoned and... View More

It seems your lawyer did not negotiate very well. One could say that as long as the Seller believed you would pay more than 230,000, they returned to your broker with the nonsense that someone made a better offer. They could have taken the better offer. For all you know, you were bidding against... View More

Dear Manhattan Tenant
There is no perfect solution for breaking a lease. You provide no information. Residential or commercial? Long term rental or short [less than one year]? Security deposit or none?
