Signed away all rights to house in divorce, but spouse hasn’t and won’t refinance to take my name off mortgage. She plans on selling and I will get no money in the sale, would I get hit with a capital gains tax?
Not if all proceeds are reflected as going to her on the 1099.
Directors are voted in by voting members.
Greetings. We would need a lot more information to provide you with a reasonable answer. For example, what type of membership is this? An athletic association, a union, a corporation, a condo or coop, a government entity, or one of many other types of organizations that have members and a board?... Read more »
There’s a section about estranging child from , making disparaging remarks, or make derogatory statements about existing significant other .
Your question does not give enough information for an answer. We have no idea of the age or sex of the child nor who the adults are. As to the "section" you refer to, it has nothing to do with sleeping arrangements.
Divorced, haven’t lived in home for 4 years. Ex promised she would refinance, she hasn’t and won’t, mortgage company states that an assumption of mortgage cannot be done. There is no divorce decree, everything was settled privately, I took her at her word that she’d refinance . I want my... Read more »
You have no options. Should have done a divorce decree. You can sue for partition to force a sale, and get the mortgage paid off.
The money would be used to pay for her funeral and what not
Not immediately for this. You can get it back later.
A trust was created for my benefit earlier this summer. A promissory note was given in trust to the trustees to be invested and utilized for specific purposes. The note transferred to the trustees is still currently in their possession. They have not performed the trust nor accounted as required... Read more »
A trustee has the duty to protect, collect and maximize the value of trust assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries, and intentionally destroying a trust asset would presumptively be a violation of that duty. However, it is possible that the note truly was uncollectible and it would cost the... Read more »

It depends if there was a will or not. And, if the money passed by a beneficiary designation or is in the estate. If an estate proceeding is opened, you should get notice. Or, you can call the clerk and see if one was filed.
Even if the buyer qualifies with the landlord requirements
Depends on the terms of your lease, which govern.
He claims he mailed papers but I have not received them. Tonight he was supposed to serve papers, he claimed they were the second round. He wanted to bring them to me at 8pm on a Thursday night. I work 7am-4pm and I do not get home until 530 with picking my daughter up from daycare. He has not... Read more »
You obviously know about the case. While the court will undo any defaults, etc., from lack of service, you should ask for the papers again, or go to the clerk to get them, and not ignore this. Playing the service issue might work, but also might not.
It depends on the Settlement Agreement, Court Order or Judgement of divorce
Hello,
I am sponsoring an immigrant in NY and I saw the following for the affidavit of support " If an immigrant you sponsored receives any means-tested public benefits, you are responsible for repaying the cost of those benefits to the agency that provided them". Are there any means tested... Read more »
I would suggest you do not accept any public benefits if you are sponsoring or applying for any type of immigrant visa.
We are purchasing this 5 acre lot that’s attached to our primary address. Part of the lot is residual. Our primary house has two acres with it that is residual and assessed for $42,000 just the land not the house. We don’t know if this will be our forever home and want to make a wise decision...

You are conflating real estate law, real estate tax law, and income tax law in a way that is creating an issue that is not an issue. If the adjoining land is a separate tax lot, you will pay two tax bills. You can consolidate tax lots, but the cost of doing so will outweigh the extra 50 cents... Read more »
I'm filing for divorce but I have no income, I'm going to legal aid. I filled out the application & was wondering how good my chances were of being approved? My soon to be ex does work but he cashes his checks and doesn't leave money in the account.
They would be in the best position to advise you on that
You need to file the bond with the clerk. There is a fee. The judgment will be stayed until the appeal is over.
My estranged uncle is petitioning to become the administrators of, first, his mother's estate (my step-grandmother), and then, second, his father's estate (my biological grandfather), essentially double dipping. My uncle had two sisters (my mother and aunt, both deceased). My mother had two... Read more »
You can object. As next of kin, he has priority, but the court can refuse him.
Yes, unless you have an agreement to the contrary. Why would you pay anything without such an agreement?
The tenant is doing drugs in the appartment
Determining the most expeditious way to proceed depends, at least in part, on what type of tenancy is involved. Does the tenant have a lease? How long has the tenant lived in the apartment? Is the apartment rent-regulated?
Answers to these and other questions will determine your options... Read more »

Both daughters have died. My mother had two children (both alive). My aunt had three children (two alive). My... Read more »
It does appear that you might be an intestate heir because your mother (grandfather's daughter) has died. Therefore, you have an interest in the estate. Therefore, you have standing to petition to be appointed personal representative of your grandfather's estate. Do not delay. If your uncle has... Read more »
