Since your son hasn't executed a contract with the park owner, he would need to look at the contract signed between the person he was gifted the home from and the property owner and see what the conditions on the home are. Take the contract to an attorney for help.

File an action in court to remove the trustee.
Look at the wording in the trust. Does it say that the "situs" of the trust is in a certain state? If so, file the action in that state.
The wording of the trust may also specify in which state a trust action must be filed. If... View More

My husbands grandmother passed and her property is almost up for taxes. It is his step dad’s mother but he raised him. None of the other family want anything with us (they are druggies and we are law enforcement) and they have no funds to probate and don’t wish to. They want to mooch off of the... View More

There isn't enough information to determine whether your husband would end up with the property through probate. It may be simpler to keep an eye on the property and buy it at a tax sale. You might have to outbid someone but would likely get the property for a song either way. Or you may be... View More

Sorry for your issues.
It sounds as though your sister forged your name to an acceptance of an offer to sell and that an earnest money check was deposited. I say this because if your name is on the property (completed probate or trust) then you must sign before a notary public.

Dad died in 2000 and dads STEP BROTHER took us to court and because STEP BROTHER said how does anyone know we belong to are dad judgement was in his favor cause they wanted dna what can we do

Your question is confusing. This appears to be a question concerning heirship and whether you can prove you were an heir of the deceased. You stated they wanted DNA evidence which a test can be taken but your facts don't address whether it was ordered or not and the results. You should make an... View More

The process server can serve the spouse also so you can get personal jurisdiction over both. The server will have to file his return of service showing he served the husband by leaving his summons with the wife. They must live together where she was served.
