With proper authority from the court, you should proceed with the marketing and sale of the property during the redemption period. More importantly, you should contact the lender or the lender's attorney to advise them of the probate. Depending on the equity position as well as whether the... View More

As the executor, you could enter into written agreements with your brothers to acquire their interest contingent upon financing in the form a reverse mortgage. It could then be presented to the court for its approval., if required by the jurisdiction that you are in.

First of all, your sister has no authority to control any property until a will is probated or an intestate (no will) proceeding is initiated and she is appointed as the Personal Representative. If you cannot find a will, then it may be a good idea for you to initiate such a proceeding and ask that... View More

I think that you misunderstand what happened. It sounds to me like the property went to foreclosure sale, the mortgage holder purchased a sheriff's deed at the sale by "bidding in" the debt, the redemption period expired, and the mortgage holder became the absolute owner of the... View More

The lender can sell the property at a sheriff's sale. At the time of sale, if no one else bids on the property, then they are considered the successful bidder, and they have an interest in the home subject to your redemption rights (6 months). During this time, they can assign out their... View More

Here's a further answer:

If the redemption period has not expired, you could redeem.

However, the holder of a sheriff's deed is free to sell its interest in the property prior to the expiration of the redemption period.

If you were a joint owner at the time of... View More

The transaction is questionable. We would need to review the company's articles and bylaws to identify the steps necessary to authorize such a payment, and we would need to review documentation of the payment to assess compliance with the articles and bylaws. Another issue is whether this is... View More

Initially, I would advise seeking trademark counsel to fully advise you on your situation.

There are multiple factors that are at play here. First is your name "Kadosh" which is Hebrew for "holy" or "sacred". Examiners might view this word as descriptive of... View More

If I understand correctly, you verbally 'sublet' part of your mother's rental for $200 a month, but somehow your name is on the lease? How did that work exactly? What does the WRITTEN lease say about your obligations?

Without seeing that document I can't even hazard a... View More

Absent rent control or some other local codes, private landlords can choose to charge whatever the market will bear for rent.

This is the disadvantage of renting.

You can also choose to move somewhere else with little to no notice.

This is the advantage of renting.... View More

Since they are over 18, no. As an adult they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. mSpy can be used to perform covert surveillance, including surveillance of conversations without the consent of at least one party.

I think you know the answer, or you wouldn’t be asking the question in the first place. A verbal agreement, in general, is worth the paper that it is written on. Yes she can just change her mind again.

You DO need to serve her however, but so long as you are only looking for eviction and... View More

Was the property owned by your father, aunts and/or uncles as tenants in common? I presume so, or else the survivors would own the property and your father's share terminated.

The will may govern disposition of your father's interest in the property as a tenant in common, but... View More

The property valuation that is used is based upon the value of the home on the date of the decedent's death. To get the most accurate valuation for that date, you and your family should hire an appraiser—a licensed professional to give a scientific opinion on the home's value. Not a... View More

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear about your injury. This is definitely something that should not have happened in that environment. As an important cautionary reminder, please remember that the patient advocate, despite that person's title, works with the hospital's... View More

You will likely need two lawyers. While probably related, a CPS case and criminal case are legally very different with different burdens of proof. What you'll need to do in a CPS case is different than what you'll need to do in a criminal case. Because of that, most lawyers would not be... View More

Who are you seeking to hold accountable? This all sounds like an issue to be raised in a post-judgment motion to the divorce proceeding. However, you're going to need to explain to the court why and how you could not have discovered and raised this issue before.

Unlikely. I'm not sure what you expected as far as communication is concerned. She informed you of the offer and her opinion. You agreed to the settlement. Causing you to feel pressured is not malpractice; in fact, the opposite could very well be. Your lawyer's job is not to be a... View More

The man didn't need proof. Your problem is going to be that he provided some information that turned out to be accurate and hemmed you up. He probably provided that information to help himself out, which is the choice you now need to make for yourself against your friend.

'Control' is such a non-specific word.

Can you PAY the back taxes to the County/State before then? Yes, but the Estate will retain the right to redeem meaning you won't get the property, you'll only get your money (plus interest) back.

Can you BUY the property... View More
