The reason why money won’t be used is bec they wanted bank statements for 2 months from us. We are not willing to send that to them. They said we could request a refund. So we did.

If you had given your son what you characterized as being a “gift” with no strings attached, then the gift is a gift. If, however, there were conditions attached to the gift, you may be able to retrieve it if those conditions weren’t met.

A hotel is not a rehabilitative facility. Nobody knows what this lease says; you need to take it to a lawyer.

In situations where evidence crucial for legal defense is destroyed or deleted, especially after a request has been made to preserve it, you might have grounds for a civil case. This would particularly apply if the deletion of the surveillance video directly impacts a legal proceeding, such as... View More

In cases like this, the financial responsibility typically depends on the terms of your agreement with the property management company. Generally, if the management company acted in good faith and followed standard procedures, they might not be held liable for the forged checks. It's important... View More

If it was merely a spelling mistake, then depending on the state, you should file a corrective deed, it may be called slightly different in your state. You cannot entirely change the grantor, you'd have to do a separate conveyance.

A quitclaim deed does that then record it in the county where the house is located.
File a quit claim deed to include jtwros to our current title will this trigger a reassessment on our taxes ? Or loss of our soh exemptions in Florida ?

Quitclaim deeds tend to cause more problems then they solve. Consult with an estate planning attorney to see what your options are to resolve this. A self-executing will might be a solution, depending on your situation.

There's no way to tell in an online forum. You would need to take a copy of the title, the lease and any other documents you have evidencing an agreement or payments you made to a lawyer to review.

No. This is not possible in a deed of any kind. This sounds like everyone involved is trying to avoid using lawyers, which means that nobody knows what they are doing. It all seems so simple, but it isn't. I recommend that all person who wants to deed his or her property to someone else, hire... View More

No one can answer this question without reading any documents that were signed between the parties and any documents that are in the public record. Whether or not that charge is legal depends on the reading and analysis of those documents. Not paying the charge would likely lead to an eviction.... View More

It depends how you acquired title by way of what type of a deed?
Did you do a title search prior to closing? It does not sound like it. That means you acquired the property through a quitclaim deed. You may have claims against both the seller and the realtor.
Good luck

This is more of a real estate or a landlord tenant question than an elder law question. I would suggest that you choose one of those categories are resubmit your question.

Generally, the homeowner can cut any branches or roots that cross the property line as long as it will not compromise the tree. Who is responsible depends on wording in your HOA documents, which we cannot review in this online forum.

You will need to repost your question because it does not make sense (sorry). Selective enforcement is a defense if you are being sued for violating the deed restrictions. I'm not sure what $17,000 has to do with that? It appears you have paid the HOA $17,000 and expect to get it back... View More

This is a policy that this apartment complex has instituted. There's no right to it in the law, so you have no legal ability to make them change their policy.
