My Uncle passed away, he did not leave a will. So what does my father now need to do? Does this need to be filed with probate court? Or does this now fully pass to my father?
The answer depends on how your father and uncle owned the property together. If the deed says they are "joint tenants" then your father will receive sole ownership of the property. That would only require a simple document recorded with the county with a copy of the death certificate.

What is the process? We have a will in which he lists me as inheriting the house should something happen to him.

Therefore, your "landlord" may be hurting him/herself... Read more »

If all heirs agree then there is a way to do it without it going to probate; however, it requires a great deal of detail and I suggest hiring a lawyer to help you.
Whether or not anything was probated in CA will also be important. Again, it's best to consult directly with a lawyer.
Perhaps, it depends on all the circumstances and the reason for termination of the contract. Of course, whether it is legal or not really depends on the willingness to pursue recover. Your standard MAR contract has mandatory mediation within the first year. And you must also consider the broker... Read more »
I payed the judgement liens and now they say they have 45 days to remove the liens from my home. I need to sell so I can move to a retirement home. Thanks
Usually the Statute controls. But as a practical matter what counts is removing the lien. Why did you pay it off without getting it released at the same time? They may take a year or never release it. Your only recourse is to file an expensive suit, hopefully in the same Court that rendered... Read more »

The manager of our company used our company's money to buy houses, use his private name for contract and HUD, than contribute these houses to the company in the same day. Looks very uncomfortable. Is that break the law?
It depends. An attorney would have look at the details here. At first blush, I though that the transaction you were describing was criminal. After reading that the manager contributed the houses back to the company, the transaction seems less sinister. As far as hud goes, that is another... Read more »
I broke a rule in my lease. Probably manager texted me and said that I have to leave property by November 12 due to breach. I was informed one week ago and the property manager said that the sixty days began when lease was breached... and not when I was informed of early termination
