You would have to meet with a lawyer so that the lawyer can review your agreement and discuss the facts of the transaction with you.
My husband recently passed while we were on a COVID assistance mortgage plan. For the last couple of months I have been trying to get off of the plan but the mortgage company will not let me without assuming the mortgage. You see my husband was the only one on the mortgage but we are both listed... View More

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Perhaps an easier way to address this problem is to work around it. If you and your husband were both on the deed, that is a tenancy by the entireties which means that upon your husband's death, by the rule of survivorship, you became the sole... View More

For title purposes, there appears to be no need for you to put the property through a probate proceeding, if that is the sole or most significant asset in your husband's estate.
Mortgage interest rates are near historic lows. Your best path appears to be to refinance the mortgage debt... View More

I don’t see that you’ve asked a question. You should try re-wording your statement in the form of a question and add as much specific information as you can.
Most importantly, include whether the four persons obtained title to the property at the same exact time on the same date, in... View More

You have to read the actual Deed and see what Estates are conveyed. Sometimes a
Title Search is necessary. If nothing else is stated, usually the married parties own as Tenants By The Entirety, which would be of one half, and the third party owns as a Tenant In Common of an Undivided... View More

A big problem as Pennsylvania doesn't recognize common law marriage. Also, that wouldn't even apply if they didn't hold themselves out as husband and wife. In whose name is the property? If it's in the partner's name, the property goes to his estate.
Did he have a... View More

You don’t say what the buyer has done to “threaten” to sue you, so I can’t address that. There isn’t anything for you to do unless and until the buyer files a lawsuit against you. In the mean time, don’t reply to any emails, voicemails, phone calls, text messages or to anything on... View More

The Landlord has to give you notice equivalent to the term of the rental. If it's weekly, a weeks notice. If monthly, a month's notice.

No, it is not an easement.
The original parcel contained some land which was conveyed to John Smith. The deed that you are asking about conveyed everything else except for the part conveyed to John Smith.
Rather than have the land re-surveyed and new legal descriptions prepared,... View More

You can decide not to go through with the sale if your agreement of sale says the seller has to get rid of stuff. Or you can ask for an adjustment in price because you have to get someone to haul off the cars. You need to have the seller state that he has notified them and accepts any claim the... View More

You need to speak with a domestic relations attorney in your county. They can best advise you as to your options.
Owner agreed to extend lease for another year via email and then texted 2 weeks later stating that they will only extend for another six months even though they promised to extend for an additional year.
answered on Sep 13, 2021
Unless they had formally contracted with you I don't see a claim to holding them to a year. If the six months meet your terms and you want to stay, sign the six months and look for a place.
Plus, shouldn't there be interest accrued in 37 years?
answered on Sep 13, 2021
You should send a written request, certified return receipt requested.
If you don't get it you have both an administrative and a court remedy.
Best of luck!

Mr Avery has provided you perfect advice.
I would add only that both Pennsylvania and Florida have seen an extraordinary rise in the number of fraudulent deeds, so don’t be surprised if the acknowledgment and recording processes have new, strict rules.

To complete a "short sale", you need to procure the consent of the mortgage holders. Both of them, because your buyer will want to take legal title free of all liens and encumbrances. In other words, you need to persuade both lenders that the best way for them to be repaid is from a... View More

you need to read the agreement. Unless it was formally terminated, she cant just switch without consequences. The second broker should have asked her/you whether you had a previous listing, and made arrangements. So start with #2 broker.
