That when the sheriff will be called and he will put a 3 day vacate notice? I can be out by then just not the original 3 days posted by apartment complex
This notice is simply the first step a landlord must complete before they file a lawsuit in Court to have you evicted. The sheriff can not and will not do anything until they have a writ of execution from the Court, which is the document that commands the sheriff to forcibly remove you from the... Read more »
My mom recently passed and I don't have the money pay her debts until/unless I can sell her house. I know her estate is fits within the guidelines of a small estate. I have 3 other siblings too. I'm just not sure of the process in Arkansas.
You most likely need to speak to a lawyer. Even if the house fits, you may have issues with title once you try to sell. A lot of title companies will require the house to be probated even if it fits within the small estate guidelines.
You should speak to a lawyer about the debts owed and... Read more »
I want to buy a bank owned foreclosed property. The land is landlocked. Do I need an easement to use existing driveway? If so how do I get one? The home was owned by the owner of the surrounding property. I'm told she didn't have and will not give an easement.
I'm confused because you're saying the property is landlocked, but there is an existing driveway. It could be possible to get an easement by necessity if your property truly does not have any means of ingress.
If there's an existing driveway, the easement may already technically exist.... Read more »
I haven’t started the process yet for my expungement, but I am in the process of trying to find a lawyer to do so, it’s a Misdemeanor A Theft.
Once the charges are expunged you the charge will not show up on your record with the state of Arkansas; however, there are other websites that record you being charged. They rarely receive notice of the expunged record. You might need to send them a copy of the file marked expunge order.... Read more »
Bought a house and closed last Friday. Started renovating the master bath and found extensive termite damge and plain as day visible signs that they had termites. It's obvious someone knew about this issue at some point becaust they had the house treated and the termites aren't in the house... Read more »
Although I have not had a chance to review all the documents involved in the purchase and sale referred too it appears to me that you may be miss-interpreting the contract with respect to the existence--vel non--of termites. Unless the
contract(s) specifically say there is no termite... Read more »
You can, but you're selling an "undivided interest," and I can't imagine why anyone would want to buy one. If you own a third of the property, you don't own 1/3 of the land, you have a 1/3 interest in all of the land. So, you'd have just as much right to possess the property as the people owning...

What is your question?
A realtor is not required, but you will need to draft a deed of some sort to actually convey the property and its best to put your agreement in writing.
I can’t see any reason you can’t.
The language in the deed, as well as the terms of his will, will provide the answer.
I am freaking out about my family .. ALL of my family. I'm worried about where everyone is and what exactly has happened to all of us. I gotta figure out the money thing so that I can get funding to my family that is locked up.
Your Q is unclear. Are your family members in US ICE custody and facing deportation proceedings?
I have a (trailer) renter who was being faced with foreclosure back in may and lost. Well in June the same renter filed for bankruptcy. Now the mortgage company won't come for the trailer since it's in bankruptcy. Is there anything I can do?
No. It might slow it down temporarily, but only temporarily, especially where the property has already been lost.
No, you’re thinking of adverse possession. I suggest consulting an attorney because title issues can be complicated.
We signed the deeds over to my sister, the lawyer prepared the deeds and filed them, the accessors office shows that my sister is the owner. How can she not own the home?
If what you signed is indeed a 'quick' claim deed, they are saying it is wrong because that thing does not exist.
Quit claim deeds (which do exist) can also have issues, such as a typo in the legal description, or a missing term. WHY is the title company claiming the deeds 'aren't good'.... Read more »
I am named the executer of her will and will be going to probate here in Texas where she resided. The timeshare company is willing to take back ownership but I do not know how to get legal papers, or what legal papers that will be needed for me to sign it back over to them. The timeshare is in...

Reach out to the timeshare's management company. They will prepare the documents for you to sign as executor. This should be fairly simple.
The lot is worth $2000 and he owes around $220 in back taxes. We are NOT probating his estate because he does not have enough assets to warrant a full probate. Can the lot be sold? Is it worth the time and money to try to recover or sell the lot? Do I just allow the property to revert to the... Read more »
In my opinion, your decision should be based on economics, not legal factors. As you already recognize, it may not be worth the expense to do anything. In order to sell the lot, you would have to file the paperwork to administer his estate in order to get legal authority to sign the sale deed, and... Read more »
My loan is robo signed. I have a copy of no endorsement or notory. Just my name on a blank paper. Is it possible to stop eviction? Can attourney stop eviction?
Yes. You need to consult with a lawyer. You may be able to stop the foreclosure as well.
we were under the impression the closing lawyer would handle paying the estate bills. We need to know what the legal process is now that house is sold to disburse the money to pay all debts before dividing the remaining.. My sister and I are co executors
The person in charge of the estate. Was someone appointed as personal representative (executor or administrator)?
I received a judgement against my husband in divorce for $17,000.i filed it with the county clerk so that if he sold any property it would show up like a lien. He did a quick claim title over to another guy for a house he owned. I want my money and want to file a lis pendens so that nothing can be... Read more »
You need to contact an attorney and send him all the paperwork to look over. Then they can help you.
My father passed away without a will. He has two adult children and is not married. His estate is under 100,000. Is it better to use a small estate affidavit or heirship? We know that the small estate affidavit requires a 45 day wait period, but can not find anything regarding a timeframe for... Read more »
Yes, if you the children are getting along. If the people are not getting along the affidavit can cause some problems. Also, you must read the affidavit and make sure the estate qualifies - there is more to it than the estate being less than $100,000. No, you can not use it right away - 45 days as... Read more »
