Your unfortunate situation is a textbook example why non-lawyers should always ask an experienced lawyer before they do something they have never done before. Unless you can somehow convince the water company to let you off their very sharp-barbed hook you are stuck. And no one else (who has a... View More

Without knowing your entire financial picture, I cannot determine whether a bankruptcy would be right for you. A bankruptcy would relieve you of liability for the PA property, but I can't determine whether it would protect your other assets. Since you apparently have not lived in Colorado for... View More
My mortgage was discharged in bankruptcy in 2010. It's just now going through foreclosure. If I can get a deed in lieu, can I make it part of the agreement that the bank will NOT report the deed in lieu to credit agencies or report it as settled? Can they even report that since they're... View More

The mother can force a sale, but you can offer to purchase her portion. If nothing else you should... View More

I'm not sure where you are exactly in the foreclosure process. If you have only received notice of foreclosure, you may be able to stay in the home for a year or more. If the home is headed for sale/auction you usually must leave within 30-60 days from the date of notice. Some people stay... View More
