Judgement if lawyer fees from a contempt in custody. He hasn't paid anything and won't pay. After I get a judgement for contempt again, can the PA judgment be recorded against his house in NY?
Every state has a process for "domesticating" foreign judgements. It usually starts with obtaining a triple certified copy of the foreign judgement. A collection attorney in New York can help you with this.
We’ve since had issues with barking at all hours and dog hair in the buildings common laundry machines. I have pretty severe allergies and moved here to get away from peoples pets. It’s gotten so pervasive that I just want to move
Your post remains open for four days. There's no guarantee all questions are ultimately picked up, but you could have better chances of a response under the Landlord-Tenant category. You could repost and add that as a category. Good luck

The ex-partner has refused four decent offers in the last year. I've just received the best offer yet, and he is refusing to respond. What legal defense is available if any?
Thank you for your response.
If your ex-partner will no cooperate in your efforts to sell the property, you can commence a partition action. A partition action will force a sale of the property.

My brother transferred the title of my mom's coop to his name when she thought she just add him to the title. She is elderly and does not speak English. She did not have a lawyer to represent herself only my brother had, This happened 2019 and he rented an apartment now and while she was... Read more »
Maybe. If your mother was “tricked” she may have a case to rescind the deed based upon fraud. This can be considered a form of elder abuse.
These type of cases are generally well beyond what an unrepresented litigant can successfully litigate on his or her own, so she should certainly... Read more »
What is your question? If your sibling owned the property, there is no requirement that family members be notified of an intended or actual sale.
Can they proceed to sell our house when they have not made our property available to us
If you are a tenant, the landlord does not need your permission to sell the property. The new owner essentially steps into the former owner's shoes with respect to the tenancy.
the title agent made a mistake and forgot to pay one of the lien on the house. As a result, i end up owing 50000 dollar plus interest. can i file claim against the title insurance?
Yes. It is like any insurance. You have a policy with a number, and in that policy, it will say where to send claims and how to do it.
My mother died and this is how her will read. Do the children of a deceased daughter then have a right to that daughters share or since the daughter predeceased the mother are they excluded. I have received different answers, since the will stated first to my children if any who survive me in... Read more »
It means that if a child of your mother predeceased your mother, then that child's children (your mother's grandchildren) inherit the deceased child's share.

Your closing attorney should assist you with this problem and will be the most familiar with what protections you have from any escrow agreements entered into at closing.
I signed a contract to purchase a condo in 2019 (before the coronavirus) and put a 10% down payment for the condo. However, after the coronavirus hit, my business took a very hard hit, and I am unable to pay for the amount of the condo. When I had purchased it, the plan was to pay for the condo in... Read more »
It depends upon the terms of your contract. However, you need to be a tough guy to make things harder for the seller so you can get some back.
Our mom was the original owner of the house and a year before she died, she turned over ownership of the house to my sister and I. Now one of my sibling is demanding we sell the house so he can get his share of the property. My sister and I have live at the property with our mom since the purchase... Read more »
If your mother did not own an interest in the house at the time of her passing, there is no interest in the house for your sibling to inherit. If your sibling believes your mother was not competent to transfer her interest in the house to you or it was done improperly, he may commence litigation... Read more »

If your boyfriend will not voluntarily vacate and you have not obtained an order from a court excluding him from the residence because of domestic violence or other reasons, you are required to take similar steps as a landlord would to evict him from your home through a holdover proceeding.

Yes. However, a lot of documents are filed online and executed electronically these days, so original vs. copy may not make a lot of difference, but if he wants the very original ones, and his lawyer doesn't respond, he should be able to obtain a certified copy too.
I have a judgement against property from 2008. The debt has stopped being claimed on my credit. I want to sell the property but can't if there's a lein on it. What can I do about it, I don't understand the public record documents well enough to find my own answer.
Judgments remain a lien on real property for 10 years from the date of entry unless extended by court order. If your judgment was entered in 2008, it is likely not still a lien.
i closed on a property in October 2020? one of the contract clause is that the seller will pay the DOB violation. The title company was supposed to pay for the DOB violation from the proceed as agreed. However, i discover the fund was returned to the seller as a "mistake". how i am... Read more »
Greetings: You should advise the attorney who represented you at closing as to what transpired; have he/she correspond with the Title Company and have them review the "ESCROW AGREEMENT" you signed at closing with respect to this violation.
Best of luck.
A Notice of Pendency of lis pendens does not have to be associated with a foreclosure. However, an action related to title must be commenced within 30 days.
I do not understand the question. You are in foreclosure. Your answer asserts defenses. If they are not sufficient, you will lose the case, and ultimately the judgment in the case will be to sell your house at a foreclosure auction. If you win the case, the house will stay yours.
I am not sure what you are asking. A notice of pendency goes with a lawsuit. You need to answer the lawsuit. A notice of pendency functions like a lien, which preserves the property for the result of the lawsuit. Until the lawsuit is dismissed, it will impact the sale of the property and likely...
