What taxes, etc. will be required?
answered on Sep 19, 2016
What do you mean by "give" your house? If you have title in real property, you can execute a Warranty Deed in favor of another person. There will be title and recording expenses, and taxes will be pro-rated to date of closing.
I planned on paying that amount but they also want rent for the 2 months I wasn't living there. Plus the month I move in. How can I get around this?

This sounds like a small claims matter. If your landlord has filed suit, you need to appear in court, with or without an attorney, to dispute these claims. Be sure to take all documents you have to support your position.

How can I do this?

You get title insurance, a search for liens needs to be done in order for you to give a warranty deed upon the sale. This is standard stuff.
answered on Oct 14, 2015
What are you asking? List the warranty deed? What does that mean? You probably need to list the legal description from the warranty deed as the property the description of the asset, along with the address.
The have a signed title and the only reason they want their money back is because they now cannot afford the moving of the mobile home to their property. This was a agreed term before it was purchased

A fence separating adjoining properties can be on either side of the property line, or exactly along the line. Assuming his side of the fence is on your property, probably not. But what do you care; you don't have to look at it?

Her name is still on the House Title. How long can we legally live here without taking her name off the title and putting ours on? Or do we have to take her name off of the Title and put ours on the Title as soon as possible?
answered on Aug 7, 2014
I am not an Indiana attorney, but I am not aware of any state that requires you to change the Deed. One question, however, is how did you acquire title. Was there a Will?
We had a contract to sell our house. She didn't qualify for a loan. 2 weeks later she buys an even more expensive house. Can she legally withhold financial information to prevent the sale from proceeding?
answered on Jul 19, 2014
If I understand correctly, you are a bit suspicious that the buyer may not have disclosed all of her financial information in applying for a loan precisly so she would not qualify and therefore could get out of the purchase agreement. A couple of thoughts....

It was signed 2 days ago. Have already asked buyer if they would reconsider. As of right now it doesn't look like they will.
answered on Jul 8, 2014
This answer may be a bit late but. . . . based only on the facts you've given, and assuming the contract is valid and created a binding obligation for you to sell, it seems you have to possibilities: (1) Go through with the sale.

I have several emails discussing that we took over the house and that the seller would write an agreement. This never happen and now she wants to change the agreement after we have paid on it for 2 years. Can I stop her from doing this?
answered on May 15, 2014
An email exchange can form the basis for a valid, enforceable contract. The question is whether the emails contain enough documentation of the essential terms that must be agreed on.

Yes. If land is owned jointly by two people (whether it's as joint tenants or tenants in common), each owner has the right to full use of the land. However, if the property is leased, each owner should get half the rent, regardless of which owner made the lease. And if there is a... View More
