In Kentucky, the ownership of land generally includes the right to decide how that land is used, including whether to allow additional burials in a private cemetery on the property. However, there are a few considerations to take into account.

I sold my grandson a house with a verbal agreement that he would pay $500.00 a month and deeded it to him. He made several payments and then he decided he didn't want to pay anymore. I have kept record of all the payments he has made. What can I do now?

Unfortunately, you have an uphill battle without a written agreement, like a promissory note. I'm going to assume (since you say it was a verbal agreement) you did not record a mortgage - which would have given you leverage (foreclosure). The fact that he made some payments is good... View More
The tax preparer told my sister to have my mom report it on here taxes, but the 1099-s is my sister's name. Who reports it?
answered on Mar 12, 2023
If your mother was the owner of a life estate and she sold her interest in the life estate then the proceeds from the sale should have been earmarked for your mother only and the 1099-s should have consistently named your mother as well. Once your mother received the proceeds, unless there are... View More
Can the buyer insist on renegotiating the sale price when the discrepancy is discovered upon inspection while preparing for closing? Is this considered deceptive advertising?
answered on Feb 26, 2023
Depends. If it is only known to the buyer, that would imply the seller does not know about the error, which might be difficult to prove fraud. Alternatively, you should make everyone aware and either withdraw your offer or renegotiate the offer. The burden of proof will be on you to prove the... View More
We've been separated a year she's been gone almost that length of time, how is it she can come back to this house whenever she feels like it?

She still has an ownership interest in the house regardless of how long she’s been gone so she can still come and go as she pleases. The money her dad put down is a non marital interest that will be restored to her by the court. The best thing to do is get the divorce filed and moving so you... View More
hypothetically a close relative needs to file bankruptcy but I assume she will loose the home in the process so I will take over home and loan then rent it to them theory. The home mortgage is currently and no payments missed
answered on Dec 22, 2022
She won't necessarily lose the home, but it depends. If she has equity, if she's been up to date on paying her mortgage etc. Your relative would need to speak to bankruptcy counsel re the specifics of her situation.
Re you taking over, that is something you would need to request... View More

answered on Nov 26, 2022
Depends on how title to the property is held; whether daughter has contributed any money to the house over the 20 years. She most likely has a claim of some degree that can keep her there. She needs to talk to a lawyer immediately.

The tax owed is a lien against the land, not the owner personally. Owner's name is listed so he gets a tax bill. Notify the County taxing authorities of the change of ownership, but do not be surprised nothing changes until the deed is of record.
I emailed my landlord regarding my kitchen sink being clogged and unusable. My landlord emailed me back stating: “We heard you are sick, if this is true pending on the illness I won’t be able to send someone into your apartment.” So, when maintenance comes she doesn’t let them fix my sink....

Probably not but the best course is to call her directly, tell her you are not sick and reschedule the sink t repair. Litigation not necessary in this instance.

Without a Will being Probated, the next of kin of the Decedent take the personal property. All next of kin will have to sign as co owners. You might need a KY attorney to determine their identity and draft an Affidavit.

I don’t think you’re going to find any prosecutor that will charge them with criminal trespass. I would contact the company if you want to get some relief.

Consult with a KY attorney about suing for Specific Performance. Hopefully you were ready to execute the contract. If you win, you have to have the money to purchase the home the Court says you can buy. Other damages are doubtful.

Hire a KY attorney to search the Title. If there is a reverter clause, then the grantor's heirs might now own it. It will require a difficult Quiet Title Action to get Title. Best course is to have the last Trustees of Church AND grantor's Heirs sign a Quit Claim Deed as grantors.... View More
