Her debt?
No, one does not inherit the debt of another person such as a spouse. Her estate would be responsible for her debt, which would have to be paid before her assets were paid to her heirs. If the mortgage note is not paid, the mortgagee (bank, usually) could foreclose on the home she owns, but could... Read more »

The trees are on the property line so they are on both properties.
You will want to ascertain the Boundary as accurately as possible. Read your's and the adjacent owner's Deeds. Usually you will want to make the trees part of the fence, but you can probably cut them. But do not be surprised if a Boundary Dispute erupts.

They say he is will be responsible if the house defaults. Quicken loans states he is not and I don’t need to refinance. His attorney is forcing me to refinance or sell. I can’t refinance right now.

They are right: unless he signed the note, he is not liable. It's doubtful that your ex can require you to refinance or sell, assuming the two of you aren't married and getting divorced.

If he is not on the note he is not liable for the debt but he would be named in a foreclosure action in order to clear the title. It appears he may be on the deed from your statement. If he is then you need to hire a lawyer of your own to see what your options are regarding this matter.
THE DEED IS IN BOTH MY MOMS AND DADS. THE KIDS ARE NOT ON THE DEED. HOW DO WE PROCEED WITH THE CHANGE OF DEED WITH THE CHILDREN NAME ON IT IN CASE OF MOTHER PASSES AWAY. HOW DO WE INSURED THAT THE PROPERTY IS RIGHTFULLY OURS
If the property was acquired by your parents during their marriage, it was probably owned as a “tenancy by the entirety”. That means when your father died, your mother was automatically 100% owner. There are several options to make sure it goes to the kids upon her death. She can sign a new... Read more »
About a week and a half ago, my girlfriend reached out to the leasing office of the apartment we are renting, about having our floor fixed which was damaged when we first moved in last year (we honestly forgot about it due to putting a rug over it). No one came, but my girlfriend noticed today that... Read more »
Every lease, whether written or oral, is deemed to have include a provision called 'quiet enjoyment. This means no one can enter your apartment without your prior consent. The only exception to this is if an emergency exists and the Landlord is unable to contact you. Examples of an emergency... Read more »
Rented my home. Tenant hasn't paid March - May rent and does not live at the place. How do I file an eviction for someone who doesn't live at residence but lives in Philadelphia
I'm assuming that the eviction is being made by way of Public Law 86 of 2011 before a Court of Law in Puerto Rico. In that event, a dunning letter should be mailed to the lessee by certified mail to his/her last known address (if Philadelphia address is known, mail to said address). If no... Read more »
You will need to hire a competent CO attorney to figure out what the applicable SOL is, as different causes of actions have different SOLs. Despite numerous postings, noone has responded because your question is incomplete. Call one of the CO lawyers listed here on Justia, whom I have noticed... Read more »
Short answer, yes. For the longer answer, the DoR has to complete a couple of steps to attach them, but once those steps have been completed, the liens attach. Consult a local attorney to see if the lien has been attached.
If the property goes through his Estate, then it has a cloud on the Title. No reasonable purchaser would want such title, but they might buy it cheap and get a Quit Claim Deed. If she is the executrix, it might be grounds to remove her.
The mortgagor had leased its limited rights of lease to obtain loan. The possession later on passed to the mortgagee due to default of mortgagor. The owner had sold the property during the term of the mortgage. Now, on redeeming mortgage, will the possession go to the mortgagor (who has no... Read more »
It sounds like the mortgage has already been foreclosed upon which merges the title into the purchaser at the sale. Sorry but I do not know what "redeeming a mortgage" is. The mortgagor may have had some type of redemption right, but they are usually waived in the mortgage.... Read more »
Hire a very competent attorney to search the title. It sometimes clears the title to buy at a Tax Sale, but again you will need an attorney to draft a Deed. Determining Heirship might get you close to a purchase.
A man passed in Michigan where he and his wife were living at that time. He and his wife own land in SC worth $4,000. Does the land automatically go to her without filing probate in MI? His entire estate was less than $20,000.

What your landlord is asking you to do is illegal in New Jersey. He's only allowed to ask for a month and a half security. Asking for the 2 months rent at the end of the lease on top of a month and a half security is not permitted. Could you ask your landlord to put that request in writing.... Read more »
472.029 seems to be in direct conflict with property owners rights under 810.09(2)(a)
It's very unclear what your question is because you provide very little facts and a "third party property owner" is not possible. You either own property or you don't. You could have an interest in the property as a tenant, easement holder, life estate or some other interest.... Read more »
