The post mentions both an executor, an estate and a trust.

If the property is in a Trust, it will... View More

If the Will was probated in 2018, you might be too late, but there is a chance that notice was improper or there is some other excuse for delaying seven years after her death to notice her absence. Then, it will be important to examine the Will and the facts. If your mother's intent was to... View More

When was the estate opened? When did you become aware there was an estate opened? When was the estate closed? 2018 is 7 years ago. If the estate is now closed for several years, and if you knew that your mother had passed away and that an estate was opened before the estate closed, then you... View More

You toll the statute of limitations by filing the lawsuit providing adequate notice of the claim. This late, the defendants' best move is to pretend they have no problem with your delay in making the claim. Once you miss the deadline, they will move -- successfully -- to dismiss your case....

State recordation tax exemptions are contained in section 13-207 of the same article. Local transfer tax codes will vary from county to county. Yes, some jurisdictions in MD... View More

Unfortunately, the answer is yes. The eviction can proceed. Sometimes the landlord might try to delay it or otherwise work with people so that they can get their money, but if they wish to proceed, they are fully within the law to do so.

If you want to sue them for the business assets, i.e., the house, then you're going to have a statute of limitations problem on your claim for waiting for 7 years after the business was closed and filed for bankruptcy, and potentially an issue with the bankruptcy court, since it sounds like...

You need a real address for the principal office. It does not need to be your personal residence. Obviously, that means you need to arrange for another address.

Yes, you are at fault. ALL red lights require a full stop, even those where by law you are allowed to make a right turn. The right turn is allowed after you stop. You were treating a right turn on a red light as if you had a green right turn arrow. That isn't the law.

Obviously, you would like to leave the fence where it is.

First, you need to look at your HOA governing documents and covenants filed in the land records, or better, have a lawyer do so, and review issues relating to the right to claim adverse possession over common community property of... View More
