If your second mortgage foreclosed on you, you are no longer the owner of the home. There is no need to pay the first mortgage. Whoever purchased the property at the foreclosure auction will have to pay your first mortgage if they want to keep the property. All hope is not lost though, you may be... View More

Not sure what a full LE is. Nor why you would worry about it being in a contract. What counts is what estate is conveyed in the DEED. Have you read the Deed? You need to hire a GA attorney to at least explain the Deed to you, and possibly search the title. Then he might advise to any... View More

What does your purchase agreement state? If you had installed the system based upon their request and they now have backed out of the closing, you should be able to demand payment for 'altering' the premises. However, without seeing your written documents, it is difficult to answer.... View More

In California, since you rent rooms in the landlord's home, you're considered a lodger rather than a traditional tenant, which means some different rules apply. You still have important rights, but there's more flexibility in terms of changes to rental agreements.

While I think it possible that your sibling misunderstood that the tax preparer (CPA?) actually said, in forty-years of practice, I have never heard of a PA law or rule governing or limiting who may draft LLC documents (other than perhaps the PA Bar, which governs who may practice law within PA)....

My grandfather had a deed done to transfer a property to his trust. It was recorded after he passed and it now shows in error with the proprety appraiser because the description isnt complete. What would be the easiest way to get it fixed? My Mom is trustee and needs to close out the trust.
answered on Dec 19, 2024
Since it is an invalid deed, nothing was conveyed, it is likely that some version of probate is going to be required in order to transfer the property. You will need to speak with and work with a probate attorney. If the error is somewhat minimal or can be attributed to being a scrivener's... View More
