That will be a property tort action. You will need an attorney and some type of expert witness as to causation and damages. It will be expensive and difficult. Be certain of your tortious defendant, or at least sue all interested parties.
We no longer wish to continue paying the annual maintenance fee and membership dues. Time share cancellation companies cost too much to bother with. Can we simply stop paying the annual fee and dues without serious legal ramifications? Please advise ASAP? Thank you.
answered on Dec 3, 2024
My assumption is that the contract that you have entered into is valid. Review the document to see if there are any cancellation provisions. If so, that may give you a way out or some severance agreement/process. Call the company and see if they have a way out. If not, you are bound to the... View More

If the summary judgment has already been entered, you must immediately hire a NC attorney to file a Rule 59 Motion, or some other Motions, to try to keep the house. Claiming exemptions or filing bankruptcy may be necessary.

There is no age requirement for owning property in NC. To enter a binding contract to purchase or sell property, the minimum age requirement is 18. Similarly, banks require you to be 18 to sign a mortgage, again, because it is a contract.

Unfortunately you have probably acquiesced to the ascertainable boundary line. You can sue for ejectment, boundary dispute, trespass, etc., but the defendant may prevail. You will need a surveyor as your witness.

Hire a competent NC attorney to search the title, determine heirship, and draft an Affidavit of Heirship to record. The heirs are tenants in common and each have a right of possession.
area in which we have our home rented. The home is in NC. Our rental agreement states that the early termination fee is their monthly fee for an early termination with legal cause. Is orders on our end as the owners legal cause? Our PM is insisting we need to offer monetary incentives as well.

I would have to read your contract to give a definitive answer, but likely not. The PM is probably correct in their advice to you.

This is a question for her divorce attorney, but from a real estate perspective, yes, she is the sole owner of the house.
answered on May 7, 2024
From a real estate perspective, if you own the house, then yes, you have every right to use it. However, other factors may prevent you from doing this, such as court orders. I would advise speaking with a local attorney since this appears to be related to a divorce.
closure process. The deed says that the trustee will get a 5% commission on the proceeds of a foreclosure sale. What will he be entitled to if I do get the deed in lieu of?

By doing a deed in lieu, you are releasing your lien and will have to file a release with the register of deeds.
No foreclosure proceedings will commence, so the trustee will not be compensated.

The living seller had the title notarized that he had a copy of her death certificate. DMV said I needed to have her sign the title. She died in 2007.
answered on Apr 11, 2024
You will need proof that the deceased seller left their interest in the mobile home to the living seller. Such proof might come in the form of a right of survivorship, or a probated will, or a declaration of heirship, etc.

I would have to review the contracts to advise you on your options, but I suspect that you have a case to force her to do something. Please get in touch with an attorney and have them review your contract.

You have not stated the exact granting and habendum clauses, and have not searched the title. But assuming only what you stated, the Daughter's issue take her issue as tenants in common with the Mother. Have a NC check the title to determine ownership and encumbrances.
