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.

If your mother dies before her boyfriend, he will end up owning the property they hold in joint tenancy. If you are an only child and your mother dies without a will you will have to probate the house solely in her name but you will get it unless creditors have a claim. Even if she had willed the...

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.

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

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.

Hire a competent NV attorney to draft a new Note and a Modification of the existing Deed of Trust. It is better for the mortgagee to keep the recording priority of his Deed of Trust as modified of record. But the old Note needs to be released.
