They offer two payment methods online; pay by credit card or pay with bank account. Both options charge a convenience fee. They do not offer any other way to pay the dues. My understanding is that the convenience fee is only charged as a convenience alternative to a standard method of payment.

If you mail a check they have to accept it. They cannot legally refuse any form of legal tender. The problem you might face is proving they received the payment. They cannot require only online payment but if they provide for online payment they can charge a convenience fee.
The tree layed on the fence and above the fence (tree was paralel above the fence) however when the neighbor cut the tree (base of tree and roots in his yard and roots a foot from the tree were in my yard) the tree roled over the fence line or layed on my side of the fence.
answered on Oct 28, 2022
If the tree was on your neighbor's property and he cut it, and if it did damage to your fence or other property, he may be liable for the damage to your property. He may also be liable for the cost of removing it.
Hello,
If I want to make Offer of Judgement in civil case about deposit relates to real estate sales and purchase contract in Florida, can it be named "DEFENDANTS’ PROPOSAL FOR SETTLEMENT TO PLAINTIFF" or it should be named strictly "Offer of Judgement"?

It really doesn't matter what you title the document (perhaps the best is a combination of the above - "Plaintiff's Offer of Judgment")
You MUST refer to both the rule and statute. Offers of judgment are construed extremely narrowly, but you must make sure that you make... View More
Initiate the sale... I am seperated from my husband. Our home is in His Name mortgage and deed and mine is on the deed. The Mortgage is not being paid and I have moved out. Want to sell so it does not go into forclosure. He is on drugs and does not seem to be doing anything. What am I able to do... View More
answered on Oct 26, 2022
Unfortunately, the deed is what controls who owns the property, and has a right to sell it. So all parties to the deed will have to agree. It is my understanding that a Realtor won't even entertain listing a property for sale without a signature from all the owners.
It may be time to... View More

If this is not an essay question on a college undergraduate or law school exam, it should be.
If it is a (really complicated) real-life situation, get off the Internet and call a probate lawyer in the town where the property is located.
And is unable to be found( presumed dead) and the other also lives overseas but refuses to sign any documents?
answered on Oct 25, 2022
That is certainly not a simple question to answer and without more facts, I would be unable to do so with any certainty. I assume you have filed a probate action? I have handled both probate and guardianship cases and you always need a court order to sell an asset of the estate and if the property... View More
Original Covenants Filed Sept 13, 1982. Were not preserved. Current Board is not telling anyone of this. And are not even following what the expired covenants stated. Are we in fact no longer a Legal Association?
answered on Oct 24, 2022
There are several ways covenants can be preserved without the HOA filing the Notice of Preservation. It requires a title search of your lot, a review of the community plat and research of the public records to make a determination.
Won a county auction for a HOA foreclosure. Our bid is way over the foreclosure amount set by HOA. Want to know in this case, is the surplus funding (after paying off the HOA lien) will automatically assign to the first mortgage by the clerk of court? Or the surplus fund goes to the original owner?... View More
answered on Oct 21, 2022
Here's how it works: the plaintiff (HOA) is paid first, then any subordinate lienholders (subordinate to the HOA), then the foreclosed owner. The first mortgage holder (for example, the bank that holds the mortgage) doesn't get a dime.
I was told on oct.4 to be out by oct.7. Landlord is also ex employrr
answered on Oct 21, 2022
Its now the 21st. What's the issue? That you still haven't found a place to live? That is not the landlord's concern, nor the legal system's. It's possible that you might be homeless for awhile. That would suck, but you have to face that possibility.
answered on Oct 21, 2022
I highly recommend you hire a lawyer to represent you in this transaction and I highly recommend you don't put yourself in the shoes of a creditor. So many things could go wrong with this.

There is no such estate "joint tennancy in common", so it is probably either a joint tenancy with survivorship or a tenancy in common. But yes, a competent FL attorney can draft a Deed for several of the titled tenants to convey their interests over to the others. The derivation of... View More
She misrepresented us in selling our home. We got a cash offer and they told us that it was a bad deal on the legal side which they are not lawyers. They told us not to take it so we ended up losing the deal. They also mishandled the selling of our home. Causing us at this moment to lose out on a... View More

What's bad about a cash deal? You signed an agreement to sell that showed the sale's price you agreed to. I assume you received that money. What can possibly be wrong "legally", as you say, if you received the cash you wanted to receive?
She passed and the will says it goes to her daughter who does not live here anymore does the will over right the ownership I had
answered on Oct 16, 2022
Your joint tenancy with right of survivorship means that the instant grandma passed, you became the sole owner of the house. The house is not an asset that can be devised to her daughter because she didn't own the home free and clear by herself when she died. It's the same as if she left... View More
The seller only owned the home for less than a year. They must have had to disclose that with her when they sold the house to her right?. Wouldn't then she have to have disclosed that with me?

Consult a real estate attorney asap. The monetary burden to rid your home of the termites will be yours, to be recovered as damages in a trial. If you have no experience dealing with termites, this is not the time to try home remedies or stuff you buy at Lowes. You must be ruthless and stop at... View More

The remainderman probably is vested now, just not in possession. If so, then his basis should have been computed at the execution of the Deed. It would have been a small percentage of the value computed in accordance with the Treasury Regulations. Contact a competent FL attorney to determine... View More

If the developer chooses not to mail the report, and not to publish it in a publication regularly distributed within the subdivision, can they "limit" the amount of time the report is "posted"? I requested a copy of last years report, but was told that was not possible because... View More
answered on Oct 10, 2022
The statute doesn't provide a time period it has to be posted and only provides it has to be posted within 60 days of the end of the fiscal year. Don't confuse this with Section 720.303(7), which requires a HOA to either mail you a copy or send you a notice it is available upon request.... View More

You would be well served to stop in place, and retain an experienced real estate attorney before you do anything else.

Licensing agencies are generally not limited in the ways an employer would be. [I litigate cases. Anything posted here must not be construed as legal advice, nor as grounds for forming an attorney-client relationship. You should seek an attorney for formal legal advice and representation.]
And it’s mine, currently the home is technically still hers, so I don’t know if there is anything I can do about my aunt going into my home without permission. The home is in Texas btw
answered on Oct 5, 2022
You will need to repost your question with some more facts, such as whether there is a lease, what does "technically still hers" mean and 1100 what?. You will also need to repost this to a category for Texas. The laws vary from state to state.
