This question came into the workers' compensation category. It does not appear to related to a work injury and you should limit your inquiry to employment law.
I am building a single family residence. Currently I have an engineer who took a deposit but is not performing, or responding. Small claims court the only choice? What about other contractors down the road? Maybe need a contract to cover myself.
answered on Oct 3, 2023
This is a complicated matter. There are many things you need to do to protect yourself. Using a good contract with the general contractor is a first step. If you are acting as the general contractor, having good contracts with the contractors you hire is important. As for the engineer you... View More 
We live in AZ. He lies a lot. We have a mortgage together. What can I do legally to find out and if it is, get him out of home and away from kids?
answered on Oct 2, 2023
You probably need to get it tested. Then once you find out it is meth, you need to ask him to submit to a drug test. If it's positive, you could use that as a reason to get temporary emergency custody (i.e., legal decision-making and parenting time) over the children.

Adverse Possession is a civil transfer of land title. However it appears you were not there long enough to make a claim apparently without color of title. There may be a SOL that was busted when they sued you for possession. You will have to hire a AZ attorney to advise you and represent you.... View More
I have heard that you have additional rights to property protections (such as not having to pay property tax and your property, etc) if your loved ones are part of your property.

In most states—possibly all—property used EXCLUSIVELY for the burial of human remains is exempt from taxation. There is also automatically a public access easement so anyone can visit the site.
Also would you send the demand letter to SC or Phoenix office ?

You can send a demand letter to both offices. But if you file suit, you must serve the Registered Agent. Get more information about the LLC first.

That is a Boundary Dispute. Hire a competent AZ attorney to search both titles, then research water boundary law in AZ. You may have to file suit to have the Boundary declared.
no recorded easement and I pay taxes on the ten feet.

That is a Boundary Line Dispute. You must hire an attorney to search both titles, get a surveyor witness and file suit or you will acquiesce to the new fence as your boundary. The taxes help but are not absolutely determinative.

You are going to have to hire an AZ attorney that does real property litigation, not a title co. The Title needs to be searched, and if possible the original instruments need to be examined. Despite your disputes, the Notes and taxes must be kept current during litigation. Otherwise the... View More
My husband and I own three homes in Arizona as CPWROS. He has agreed that my share on two homes can go to my beneficiaries if I pre-decease him. I would file a beneficiary deed to accomplish this. I am sure the titles need to be changed from CPWROS. What is the best way to title the property so... View More
answered on Apr 24, 2023
Your question is not as straightforward as you would think. It will depend how the houses are acquired as well. I would recommend you work with an estate planning attorney to design a strategy to accomplish your goals. A beneficiary deed will not necessarily accomplish it.
Father passed in 2014. Mother passed in 2022.
answered on Apr 6, 2023
Assuming AZ house was owned JTWROS between parents, then when dad passed in 2014, the house effectively belonged solely to mother (even though nothing was recorded to reflect that). Then in 2022, the house became part of mother's probate estate. The Will giving the life estate probably governs... View More

This sounds like your speaking about your condominium bylaws or declaration. To know whether the pricing change is a violation of the original agreement or permissible, we'd need to know whether the pricing is: (a) a fixed number, or (b) a formula.
Typically, costs that would be... View More

If the attorney invoices aren’t subject to a protective order or confidentiality agreement, send copies to all of the homeowners in the HOA so they know the truth.

If it is a pipe that provides water to an individual condo unit, the owner of that unit is responsible under that language.
I agree unobstructed would mean that the owner may not allow a pipe to remain clogged.

I'm presuming the house was awarded to you in the Divorce Decree. If so, ask your ex-husband to sign a Quit Claim Deed to you to clear title. If he refuses, you can file to enforce the order.

answered on Jan 18, 2023
No one can take any action while the automatic stay is in place. Your co-owner should have been listed in the bankruptcy as a potential creditor which would preclude him from coming after you for the money although he may be within his rights to ask that it be sold.

A quit claim deed passes title to property to the grantee of the deed. There is no “loan” required. Title passes subject to all existing liens, assessments, and encumbrances.

That would be an assignment not a release. The noteholder is the one to get paid and who gives a release when paid off, which may not be who is servicing the Deed of Trust. Hire an AZ attorney to represent you because you are about to make very serious mistakes.
