The adjacent landowners have probably acquiesced to the present fence as the boundary. Hire a WY attorney to search both titles, looking for the common boundary in each title's legal descriptions, and any boundary line agreements. It is usually cheaper to defend a boundary dispute than to... View More

If you've recently discovered that the Cheyenne Evidence/Property Department is holding money of yours from an incident dating back to 2006, it's understandable to question whether you're entitled to interest on that amount over the years it was held. Generally, the policies... View More
I purchased a storage unit at auction that had a motorcycle in it. The storage facility does not have a title for it. They claim to have had a lien on the unit. I cannot find anything that was filed to the county clerks office about this storage unit going to be auctioned. I guess my question is... View More

In Wyoming, storage facilities can sell items in a storage unit, including motor vehicles, to satisfy a lien for unpaid storage fees. However, the process must comply with state laws regarding storage liens and auction procedures. Typically, this involves notifying the unit owner and advertising... View More
I have the title to my motorcycle, but a storage facility sold it along with the contents of my storage unit for non-payment. Do I still legally own my motorcycle because I still have the title? How can they sell it without a title?

In Wyoming, a storage company can legally auction the contents of a storage unit, including a motorcycle, for non-payment, provided they follow the state's lien laws and the terms of the storage agreement you signed. The fact that you hold the title to the motorcycle does not exempt it from... View More

This situation is emotionally and legally complex, and it’s understandable that you want to make sure your mother’s wishes are honored. A Payable on Death (POD) account bypasses probate and goes directly to the named beneficiary—meaning it legally belongs to you, not the estate or your... View More

You’ve done the work, you have proof, and waiting this long without a valid explanation is unfair. Even without a formal written contract, your text message agreement and loading sheets can still be used as evidence of a valid business arrangement. In Wyoming, you’re allowed to recover payment...

I have a default judgment debt from 2013, and my bank account was garnished on April 4, 2025. I can prove that I was not served the original summons and complaint, as I was not living at the address where the service supposedly occurred.

Since you were not properly served the original summons and complaint, you have a strong argument that the default judgment may not have been valid. The first thing you should do is file a motion to vacate the default judgment with the court. In your motion, explain that you were not properly... View More

A Wyoming attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. This is not my area of practice, but as a general note, there are attorneys who do limited scope representation. But every case is fact specific, and a law firm would want to know more before answering your... View More

A Wyoming attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Ordinarily, you could write a contract for division of property any way you want, but a separation could add an additional dimension to the way some things are divided. A divorce attorney could advise best here. Good... View More
I have an auto loan in the state of wyoming. In my loan contract it states not to sell collateral.
