There are limited circumstances under which a plaintiff (typically the borrower) might try to revoke or challenge the validity of a submitted Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure (DIL). Generally, once the lender accepts and files the DIL, revocation is highly unlikely unless a valid legal basis exists.

This is not my area of law, but you await a response for almost a month - and I think the wording of your question could have led to confusion about exactly what was meant. If you're listed in a will or trust, you know you're getting something as a beneficiary. It doesn't sound like... View More

As of today we are 3 months behind in rent. If payment is brought current before the end of the 90 days will we still have to vacate? Should we pay Oct 1 rent as we had planned? My husband and I are senior citizens.

If the rent is paid in full the case would be dismissed. The second is a holdover case, which, if you have been a tenant for 3 or more... View More

If this is a cooperative apartment, it is unlikely that your cash-strapped potential purchaser and you would receive consent to proceed with a contract to sell. It would help if you had an attorney to navigate the sale of a co-op apartment in NYC.

I am asking for both general across the USA and for New York. Does it matter if it is an abandoned incorporeal hereditament that has been separated from the land, and is no longer an interest in the land? Does the finder get superior title over all others for incorporeal hereditaments?

Across the USA, and specifically in New York, the concept of "finders keepers" does not typically extend to incorporeal... View More
