In Nevada, the duration of a mechanic's lien (often the type affecting real property after work has been done) is typically 6 months from the date of recording. If no action is taken by the lienholder within this time frame, the lien can expire. However, there are other types of liens with... View More

Yes, you can possibly sue the person who caused the fire for negligence or gross negligence. Gross negligence is somewhat harder to prove but could give rise to punitive damages if you sustained bodily injuries from the fire.
There are strategic reasons why you might not choose to sue... View More

convey property, I a in process of evicting him .. Can I file a lis pendes on y property so he can not do convey nor place lien on y property
answered on Jun 14, 2023
A notice of lis pendens does not preclude another person from placing a lien (fraudulent or not) on a parcel of real estate.
If your name is on the deed as the owner of the property, a notice of lis pendens would serve no purpose for you.
In fact, if the tenant were to sue you to... View More

Firstly, sorry for your loss.
Based upon what you have said, the house and dad's other assets will become yours as an only child, however the assets will most likely have to go through probate to become yours. You should consult with an attorney soon regarding opening a probate action... View More

You probably own it as the sole heir. Hire an attorney to search the title, determine heirship, and possibly evict the relatives. If only a tenant in common, then partition may be in order.
Since NV is a common law state am I entitled to part of the house/equity? Even if a quick claim deed was signed?
If so how do we claim this?
answered on Oct 26, 2022
Nevada does not recognize common law, but is a community property state. This means that anything that is acquired during the marriage, debts, properties and/or assets are subject to equitable division upon a divorce. Thus the house that was purchased during the marriage would have been subject... View More

A Sale For Partition Action might help if there is significant equity in the property. Otherwise you wait until he wants to sell and then collect. Have a NV attorney search the title and confirm the latter options.
I have a picture of it. Just want to make sure before I call the person out on it the alleged property is in Tennessee.

I am not certain what your affidavit is, but if it is not recorded in the County where the land lies, it has no effect. Hire a TN attorney to search the title and advise if a quiet title, ejectment, action, etc. is needed.

Earlier buyer cancels due to not being able to give closing date. Due to lawyer. Lost 85,000 on next buyer. What can I do?
answered on Apr 3, 2023
This may or may not be the lawyer's fault.
There are judges who promptly sign orders that have been submitted, and other judges who don't. In the latter case, I've experienced judges who haven't signed routine unopposed or agreed orders for months.

You might have a legal malpractice case.
If the attorney did something wrong--if the attorney acted below the standard of care, and that malpractice caused you to lose money, you may have a lawsuit for those financial losses.
Consult with experienced legal malpractice attorneys in your state.
