Is it legal or possible in NC to take ownership of vehicle so repairs can be made? The vehicles also need to be inspected, have insurance put on them, and tags and registration.

You can apply for an abandoned vehicle title, this is done either by filling out the form found online or going to your local DMV office. It will take some time but is possible.
When we signed our contract there was nothing in there about additional HOA fees charged by management companies for submitting requests. We were only told about dues and other fees.

I would advise that the HOA hire an attorney to review the situation. There are too many unknown facts to be able to give you the answers you are looking for.
I inherited a house in Puerto Rico from my mom after her passing. She was a resident of PR but I am not. What % do I have to pay for taxes? Is that percent on the net gains?
Can I reduce the tax by including improvements and mortgage payments that I made after her death?
Thank you!

While there are probably some attorneys barred in NC and Puerto Rico, there are not many. You will get much better advice posting this on the Puerto Rico portion of this page if one exists.
My adopted dad signed over the house and land to my sister which was his biological child and she didn't even tell me that my dad passed away and she told family it was because she didn't want to have to go through anything with me for the home and land is there anything I can do

If your dad was of sound mind when he did this, then there is little you can do. If it was done using a power of attorney, then the transfer is presumed void. You should probably pay for a consultation with an attorney to see what they think of this before proceeding.
My sister and I would like to sell the property, but we aren’t sure how to get it in our name. My mother was married to our father when she deceased, but his name isn’t listed on the deed.

Right now, based on your fact pattern, the house is owned by your father, your sister, and you. Even though there is no deed stating as much, that is still the case. You should be able to sell the property, but all three people and their spouses will have to sign the new deed.
I can seem to get any answers and CRIM saying that they can't locate property anywhere. What should I do? I am in US

Hire a competent NC attorney today to search the title for that street address, parcel number, and what you thought was the grantor's name. Contact your lawyer, in person if possible, and find out where that Deed went. Litigation may be required.
we are private people. I don't want this guy to come to my house every day and use our water and water the grass and our flowers?? I am so very unvomnfortable. Do I have any rights?
answered on Jun 7, 2023
While the landlord is allowed to inspect the property, they are not supposed to use the property while you possess it via the lease. I would have to review the lease to ensure it is not allowed, but I don't think they should do this.

If the staircase will encroach on the adjoining owner, then hire a NC attorney to draft a Joint Permanent Use Easement to be agreed upon and recorded. Without that , do not build it or you will be sued, and your title will be clouded. But are you sure it will encroach? A survey might discover... View More

What are the lender's special requirements? You might want to speak with a knowledgeable attorney who can advise you of your... View More

You can file a quitclaim deed which would transfer any interest you have to your sister. Your sister would not have to agree or even know about this deed. Contact any attorney in NC, and they can assist with this.
Contract signed Feb 10 closing was supposed to be March 10. Investor never showed gave no valid reason and doesn't look like he going to follow through. We already moved out incurring great expenses hiring movers and renting a house.
answered on Mar 12, 2023
You shouldn’t have moved without absolute certainty that there was first a firm closing date and that everyone would have been fully prepared to close on that date.

Since it does not appear any debt problems are present, you probably need to do nothing until you want to. Hire an attorney to search the Title to be sure about ownership. When necessary, file suit for a Partition with publication service on her.

When it comes to real property, the law that governs it is almost always the law of the state in which it lies. So in this scenario, you need to be talking to an IL lawyer and see what needs to be done.
