Bf and I bought place together. Then he may someone else, and left me to pay for the mortgage on the property, and the property taxes. I paid the home off alone and now he claims he owns this house
answered on Oct 5, 2020
Because you and your BF are on the deed, you both own the house. This means that both you and him have the right to use the property, and it can only be sold with both of your signatures.
Your best option to recover your BF's portion of the mortgage is to refuse to sell unless he... View More

Cannot understand your facts stated. But hire a competent attorney to draft an Affidavit of Heirship, which will record a source of title. Then you need a Quit Claim Deed from the other heirs over to you. If they will not convey, you may have to file a Partition Suit.
My husband died in June and taxes came out in August.

If you are the remainderman, then you are the sole titled owner. It would then be your responsibility to pay taxes, but the property stands for the county taxes and is not the owner's personal obligation. It is in rem, so if taxes are not paid the County sells the property and does not sue you.

Whoever pays more than one half of the support may claim a child as a dependent.
Whoever proves that he/she provided more than 1/2 of the support of the child.
It's a matter of proof, by documents.
What can we do
answered on Feb 23, 2020
NO WILL, then typically all assets go to the children in equal shares.
All liabilities, including taxes must be paid FIRST. Then, the remaining assets go to the children. If there are any predeceased children, then typically their heirs at law take their shares. Every state is not exactly... View More

Be careful of the expiring statute of limitations on claiming the credits, or you will end up... View More

The statute reads "only upon an annual basis." A quick review does not reveal any NC cases or regulations interpreting the language further. I think you'd be going out on a limb applying an alternate interpretation to what a court would likely consider a 'plain meaning'... View More
