It depends on exactly how she left it to you - by will, by joint ownership deed with survivorship, by Transfer on Death Affidavit, etc. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local real estate attorney to review the deed and advise you of the process to follow to make the transfer.
I have disputed tirelessly for four years. Illegal in Ohio to "double dip" someone moved into my apartment one month ( less than one month ) after I moved out and they will not remove this collection. This collection began during COVID (2020) so no attorney would even discuss with me... View More

What are our options? They bought the property as is and then remodeled. They say since they spent so much to remodel that they don't have to pay us.
answered on Feb 19, 2024
Your options depending on the purchase agreement are to either not get paid or sue for the amount due. I would recommend speaking to your realtor and if he or she cannot help you, invest in the time with an attorney in that county that regularly practices real estate litigation.

I've never heard of anybody getting out of paying the Medicaid claim by waiting for the statute of limitations to run.

The POA does not have to list individual properties. It should say something similar to "to lease, rent, manage, contract to sell, sell, or convey real estate by deed or any instrument".

I'm not sure a question is posed here. A Tax/Estate Attorney specializes his or her practice on those areas of law. The Internal Revenue Code is obtuse at best, as can be the rules governing many Trusts. It sounds like you need to sit down with such an attorney to review the Trust and the... View More
My house is being listed for sale and I also have a private investor who is working on getting funds to pay-off my amount due.

Yes, but the better thing to do would be to reach out to the bank to engage in loss mitigation. This would pause the foreclosure while they determined whether you are eligible for any loss mitigation options, including modification of the loan, and will give you time to either sell or refinance.

Hire an OH attorney to file suit for a Partition Sale.
Family member passed away and we inherited a percentage of this property. Other family member who inherited percentage of the property was living in it and refused to move or sell the house when we had a buyer. The property was foreclosed on because they did not pay the mortgage. Property went to... View More

You probably need to file a partition action to force the sale. Except, the mortgage company may beat you to forcing another sale. A partition action can take months (or years) before you reach the end. I recommend you find a real estate attorney to advise you what your rights are.

There is not enough information here to adequately answer. What fiduciary duty has been violated? Has money been misappropriated? Has there been some actual damages that the association or the homeowners have actually suffered? What remedies are presented in the association bylaws? What... View More

The LLC is likely engaging in wholesaling. This is a legal, but ethically tricky, activity in selling a contract to another. It is unlikely that you can breach the contract without penalty.
I signed a contract to buy a home in Ohio contingent on my parent putting down money for the down payment. Somehow the bank started escrow without receiving any money, and my parent has pulled out.

Check the verbiage in your purchase agreement. Specifically, see if there is a contingency on affordable or your ability to obtain financing. You didn't mention this in your question, but what is the $5k number for? My guess would be that it is earnest money; some purchase agreements will... View More

Case law fills in the areas that are subject to interpretation within statutory law. Thus, the Court should follow both. This is why counsel is so important.

Write the Trustee and explain exactly how you will be damaged (lay it out in dollars and cents) by the failure to execute their duty. This will at least put them on notice. You may still have sovereign immunity problems to getting to a verdict in your favor but it may be enough to light a fire... View More

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I believe the carrier could defend such a claim instead of accepting it - elements of notice, change of ownership, time elapsed, etc. But another attorney could see things differently. If you were represented by an... View More

This depends in part on the Operating Agreement of the LLC. Does one of the others act as a managing member? What are the powers vested in members to sell assets of the LLC? IS the approval of all needeed?
