An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney to review your lease with you in detail, you could repost and add Landlord-Tenant as a category. More attorneys with insight into such matters could see your... View More

In Indiana, when a property is owned by a trust and one of the trustees dies, the specific provisions of the trust document and state law will dictate how the property is managed and whether a sale disclosure statement is required.

If there is a Probated Will with a specific devise to you as owner, then after the Estate is closed, you can deed your interest to anyone. Your source of title is the Will Book, Page Number usually, and should also include the Probate Case name and Docket Number.
Out online. On the drive from California I selected one and she put in an offer. I met her 2 hours after closing at which time she delivered me the keys and told me she was going to go home right then and do a quick claim deed. Shortly after we got into a disagreement. I have been here for almost... View More

You probably need to look at a couple documents and a couple provisions of the law to know what legal effect the mass resignation caused.
First, find copies of your governing documents. If your HOA is a corporation (most are), you are looking for your Articles of Incorporation and your... View More

[Indiana] - My brother-in-law wants to sell me a house that his ex-girlfriend and biological daughter reside in. There is no lease in place, nor formal rental agreement. If I purchase this house, can I ask the ex-girlfriend to leave or is there a formal "eviction" process that I need to do?
answered on May 11, 2023
You can always ask, but you must commence a formal eviction if she chooses not to go. Evicting family is never easy, and courts (at least from my New York perspective) are sometimes sympathetic to tenants in these situations, so you should speak to an attorney to discuss your possible outcomes and...

Your rent-to-own contract should outline your rights and remedies. Assuming an attorney represented you when you entered into that agreement, you should speak to that attorney for advice. If you had no attorney, from my NY perspective, unless your contract prohibits it, you would need to bring an... View More
