He wants to pay me monthly for the loan on the boat as well as some credit card debt that I have on my card that's his.
Should I get this in writing, or is it too late. The boat has not been delivered yet and we are still on speaking terms.
Not sure if we will get back together and... Read more »
Definitely get it in writing. And if you cannot get out of this boat deal make sure you are on title. Otherwise you will have a debt and no boat.
We signed contracts for a home in the middle of September (tentative closing date was October 15th). Had our mortgage commitment by mid October.

I disagree with your lawyer. Time of the essence letter is required as a predicate to anything else. Then, you can bring a specific performance action and charge them with the fees.
During a title search on a property a permanent Town sewer utility easement was recovered. In the document it says «...grant and release PERMANENT EASEMENT TEN (20) feet in width across the lands..”
Making it confusing what is the width 10 or 20 feet?
Is it necessary to correct... Read more »
Greetings. This appears to be a scrivener's error. You will need an attorney to reform the document. The attorney will file an action in court asking the court to determine whether 10 or 20 feet was intended by the parties that created the easement. The Town will be joined as a party to the...

It depends on who is asking, what the document is, and what it is being certified for.
I live in upstate NY and currently trying to break my lease due to unsafe living conditions such as broken windows in common areas (It's 20 degrees right now), harassment by other residents, drafty windows and poor heating (Again, Upstate NY is really cold), and so much more. I emailed my... Read more »
From the description you provided, it appears that the property manager is not adding terms to the lease but allowing you to negotiate for an early termination for the payment of a fixed sum. This type of early termination fee is commonly negotiated regardless of whether it is included in the... Read more »
And a New York State is it true that somebody that has a felony cannot be the Executor of his estate
A Power of Attorney is not effective once the person dies. If there was a Will, once the Surrogate's court determines it is valid, Letters Testamentary will be issued to the Executor/Executrix. If there was no Will, Letters of Administration will be issued to the Administrator/Administratrix.... Read more »

Pastors health is seriously diminishing. The mortgage is paid monthly and is being held by the original owner of the... Read more »
This is actually a little more complex than you make it. Is church a registered religious corporation? Are you looking to dissolve the corporation? It may require a court proceeding.
The money would be used to pay for her funeral and what not

I'm sure you are anxious for an answer but a real answer to your situation would best be sought by having an attorney review all the documents and facts related to your situation.
If you believe there was a Will you would check where the decedent kept important papers, get in touch with their attorney or check with the local Surrogate’s Court to see if it was filed. If there is a safe deposit box many times people make the mistake of putting their Will there.... Read more »

Current agreement at 5% but has agreed to go to 4% but says that she cannot change the listing contract that her firm does amendment forms instead. Am I bonded to the original contract if I sign an amendment form?
Current agreement does not seem right. She has 5% listed as the Broker Fee... Read more »
An amendment seems right. You are changing one term, not re-listing the property.
New York law has no attorney review period. That is a New Jersey concept. If you have a special contract with an attorney review, it is not the usual form.
