What is your question?
She's currently in a hospice with advanced Dementia and was just diagnosed with recurring breast cancer. I reached out to her elder care attorney who isn't interested in helping. I also have Durable Power of Attorney. Any suggestions?
There was no court settlement at the time of the divorce as we chose to do that on our own. My ex refuses to sign a quit claim. How can I proceed to have her name removed from the deed? Can I still sell the house even if she does not want to ?
answered on Nov 19, 2024
You cannot remove her name from the deed without her consent. You can force her to sell the property, but that can only be accomplished through a partition lawsuit. In a partition lawsuit, you ask the court to divide the property evenly. This typically only works if the property is undeveloped... View More

As a California landlord, you must follow the state's security deposit laws, which apply even in cases of early lease termination. You cannot withhold the security deposit without a valid reason, as this would violate California Civil Code Section 1950.5.
Your lease clause allows you... View More
If the landlord wants to terminate the lease, how many days notice and does it have to be in writing and laws when the person is a senior citizen
answered on Nov 20, 2024
The answer to your question should be included within the rental contract that you both should've signed. As a rule, most rental contracts have a 30-day advance notice clause for termination of the lease.
If the landlord/landlady attempts to evict, and the leasee is an senior citizen,... View More

There are limited circumstances under which a plaintiff (typically the borrower) might try to revoke or challenge the validity of a submitted Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure (DIL). Generally, once the lender accepts and files the DIL, revocation is highly unlikely unless a valid legal basis exists.
Unfortunately, my Mother became sick and passed away. Before she passed, she had a living trust opened, but she did not transfer the property into it. She left a will behind naming me the beneficiary for her life insurance policy and her home. I was his only child. He had no biological. The will is... View More
We already lived with her for about a year because she was sick and needed our help. She was too sick at the end and she passed before she could make a quick deed. My husband also got very sick and couldn't take care of the title change yet. What does he have to do to get the deed in his name?... View More
answered on Nov 18, 2024
Yes, if the current deed (that the mom had upon death) is not held in joint tenancy or designated "transfer on death", then probate will be necessary to have it put in your husband's name. The sooner he gets started the better. The City may accept his permission once he is appointed... View More

Hopefully it was already recorded. If so, then just get a copy of the recorded deed at the Courthouse. An original deed rarely has any significance.
Baby daddy asked me to gather personal stuff and bring to him the home owner posted an eviction notice for five days on day 2 of the 5 I went and was arrested because I didn't contact the home owner. I had permission by the renter. In the process my vehicle was also towed.

More information is needed here however I strongly recommend you consult with a lawyer to discuss representing you on the criminal charges---as it sounds like you have defenses to the charges, which is a felony, and as such you should fight, and additionally, whether or not you have a civil action...

2 parcels of land are assets of the Trust with 5 beneficiaries. Two of those are purchasing the 2 parcels. The other 3 are selling their interest shares to the 2 buyers. The non-buyers' distribution of Trust interest in both farms will be in a single closing of distribution and §1031... View More

Generally speaking, inheritances are not taxable. Thus, a 1031 exchange would not apply to your inheritance under the trust.
With the court system and she didn't have a will and I'm the sole heir as I am the only surviving child of hers

Is the deed signed, dated, and properly notarized (signed and stamped by notary public)?
If so, would anyone object to the deed's validity and claim that your mother did not actually deliver the deed to you as the new owner? Deeds need to be "signed, sealed, and delivered."

This appears to refer to ARS 33-324 which provides that, when a tenant enters into possession under a lease, the tenant cannot, while in possession, deny the title of his landlord. I hope this helps.
I hired an RE agent to sell the property, but no offers came before the FC date. I filed Chapter 13 BK to delay FC, planning to dismiss the case once an offer was accepted and sell the home to retain equity.
A week after filing, I received a low offer. To encourage the sale, my RE agent... View More

This situation suggests potential fraud, as your real estate agent appears to have misled you about returning the excess commission after bankruptcy dismissal. Their actions raise red flags - first offering a reduced commission, then suggesting an inflated one with promises of refunding the... View More
My dad stated I would be owner he he passed. My brother was the administrator and didn’t pay off the liens on the house nor distribute the estate money. The house went into foreclosure and I paid the liens off to keep the house because I was already living there with my children. I want to know... View More

You can file a suit to partition the property by sale and offer to buy out the other two heirs' interests.
I'm a first time home buyer, so I'm looking at options.
Are we allowed to live in the house while dealing with probate? If we are do we continue to pay the mortgage payment as it is? Or do we have to pay fair Market value rent for the house to remain living in it until it's sold to close out the estate?

If the mortgage payments do not get paid in a timely manner by someone, the lender will have the right to foreclose and all heirs lose their equity in the home.
If you and your brother are the sole heirs and the home does not need to be sold to pay your mother’s debts, you each have... View More
