First, I am not a WVA lawyer. That being said, I would think you could appeal that decision, unless you have agreed in the termination case to waive your appeal rights.
If yes then how is that possible and how would they not consider them a threat to society if they have killed someone they could kill again

Her Heirs-At-Law took title to the real property at her death. Hire a WV to determine heirship and record an Affidavit of Heirship. A title search should be performed also.
The piece in question was to be given to a deceased party who surveyed it but never recorded it. They passed away and the heir is now saying it was theirs. The lawyer who created the deed for the property that was given to me said it wad never recorded and not legal and so my deed reflects I own... View More

Do you have a recorded Deed which has a legal description including the disputed property? Hopefully you do and the grantor had title to convey. It sounds like you already have a lawyer that is telling you that you own it. Right now you might want to search your title again and possibly the... View More

Read your Contract and see if it prohibits assigning your rights under the Contract. More than likely all you can do is leave it... View More

answered on Aug 27, 2021
I think there are a few states that a vending machine could work. However, in most states, recreational or medical, regulations favor that a human check the customers I.D. (for recreational use) or their authorization to use cannabis (medical use) and confirm the person purchasing the product is... View More

Real Property is usually conveyed by executing and delivering a Deed, as it is a Contract.
An agreement to sell is only equitable conversion, which can be enforced by a specific performance suit. If no Deed, title has not transferred, but the Contract can probably be sued upon. The... View More

It may not be prudent to Probate the Estate at all. An Affidavit of Heirship may be enough to get ahold of his property. If the debts are significant, sometimes it is better to let the Bank keep the money, than Probate it and pay out all of it. Consult with a competent SC attorney.
