No. The more legal question becomes whether this was a gift or transfer made under a contract. In either case, you are out that money. When you give someone a gift, you lose control once the transfer is made; if a contract, the money is theirs once you offered $3,000, they accepted it, and gave you... Read more »

It's a contract case. State case; small claims actually. Your damages are $780, and maybe any fees your bank charged you.

Did you sign a lease that obligated you to pay rent for a period of time that extended past the date on which you moved out? I suspect that there was a lease, and it went through July 2018. If so, the fact that you notified the landlord of your intention to move probably makes no difference.

The death was deemed a suicide, in 2007. I have the CSI officer's name. My mother did not have any other children, however, my dad, her husband before she died is still alive and I live with him. The case is closed.

I don't think it's a CSI report you are looking for; perhaps an autopsy report? You are going to need an adult to help you get that.

Possibly. Sounds like the makings of a lawsuit for which you should seek an employee-side civil litigator.

What was in the written agreement? It's unlikely you can enforce an agreement to "help".

Your question does not make clear what is really going on. It sounds like the referee determined a price for the house to be divided as part of the property settlement. If that's the case, I'm not seeing that as a "taking" and is within the court's and referee's... Read more »

A real estate attorney familiar with land contract law would need to review the default provisions of the land contract. Additionally, there is a legal process for forfeiture on a land contract. See more at: https://provenresource.com/land-contract-law/

Certainly, a lawyer would need to review the actual written agreement, but if it says, as you're indicating here, "I agree to care for the animals for this period of time, and if you don't come get them before that time ends, they are mine", then I think you are on solid legal... Read more »
Is that contract voidable
Never ever once did he allow his client to view the contract he he signed and approved not once and he had no authority, nor did he a power of attorney to do anything on his client's behalf without clients knowledge
answered on Aug 11, 2022
This is a question of "apparent authority" on the part of the attorney, as an agent of the client. Under that doctrine, the contract might be enforceable. Whether it is enforceable will depend upon the specific facts. It is possible that it is enforceable. That does not, however,... Read more »

It depends what the HOA has actually done to enforce the new policy. It sounds to me like it would be grandfathered in until typical HOA policies, but perhaps not.
