A so called land contract is actually a lease with option to purchase. You do not own anything. It will take awhile for the eviction process to remove you from possession. But do not invest any more money and labor in the property, while looking for somewhere else to live. You may get the... View More

You probably need to file an Action For A Sale For Partition. Hopefully there is sufficient equity in the property to make it work. You did not state what the Title was, but with equity, Partition should work.

If you really want to know then hire a competent attorney to conduct a title search. More than likely he has never filed an Affidavit of Heirship, nor has there been a Probate of a Will. If it was foreclosed upon, or a tax sale occurred, you probably would have already been notified by the new... View More

You are either joint tenants in common or joint tenants with rights of survivorship, depending on the deed. You both still own it together in some fashion.
We would prefer to wait 90 through 120 days. Is this possible? If so, how?

I would suspect that the terms of the contract would govern when the closing will take place.
We are under contract to purchase properties from a a Kentucky LLC. The members are a husband & wife. The husband passed away last week. How does something like this effect/delay a closing date?
answered on Mar 27, 2020
Depending on the structure of the LLC, and assuming decedents interests pass to his wife. You should be able to close on time or with a short delay. However, if decedents interests pass to someone other than his wife, that’s could be problematic.

You have no idea what you are doing. Your legal description is unenforceable. Hire an attorney to draft an enforceable conveyance, or forget about it. If you cannot afford a QCD then you cannot pay taxes either.
answered on Feb 18, 2020
A contract must be signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. If you never signed the contract, you have an argument that you never agreed to the terms of the offer. The timeshare company, however, may have arguments that you did agree (i.e., making payments after closing). I'd... View More

From what you stated, it appears that a lawsuit for the termination of the contract and the return of the deposit may be your only solution.

The thing about gifts is you can't take them back. The best you can do now, if you have other children or beneficiaries, is make sure your clearly takes into account these prior gifts as advances against his inheritance.
Just FYI, had you hired an attorney before making those gifts,... View More
I have received a verified complaint, and have filed a verified request for dismissal. How would you proceed to file suite against a former property manager and her accomplices for financial damage done to the LLC?

Many more facts are necessary to answer this question. I would consult a tenants rights attorney in your area and lay the facts out for them.

Doubtful you can break the lease unless management agrees to let you out of it.
I recently inherited a home, barn and 25 acres equally with my 2 cousins. My aunt and uncle have been staying there for over a year (since Sept 2018 remodeling their home in town). Frankly, I'd like to put them out, but I've been told by several people that majority rules. I don't... View More

You have a one third undivided interest in the property. If the three of you cannot agree, you can file suit to either sell the property or buy the two cousins out.

You’d have to file a will contest action against them. Could be expensive with no guaranteed measure of success.
The sellers sold land separate, as my loan would not cover the cost of the separate lot too. We had a septic company come to pump tank and its on the other property. The sellers claim they didn't know.. What do I do?
Our deed and pictures showed 3.7 acres, with a creek and a waterfall. Well we had our property survided so that we could put a fence up. Well we just got our report and it only was surveyed at 2.4 acres. We feel we were misrepresented. Do we have any legal rights?
answered on Nov 22, 2019
Possibly. Depends on the contract for sale and description and other documents. You may have an actionable fraud claim against the sellers.
