Your current state is Virginia
From reading, I don't need to file income or estate taxes. I'm confused on the capital gains. Please help. Thank you!
Under federal income tax law, the tax basis of your father is "stepped up" to fair market value on his date of death. That is the basis you would use to determine capital gains, if any.
So for example, if you dad purchased his house for $75K in 1995, and when he died in January... Read more »
There is no such general requirement under Missouri law.
Yes... The HOA will probably fine the owner, and possibly execute the lien by foreclosure. Hire an attorney to help you walk out of this.
Hi,
I purchased a house. My closing date was July 27. My lawyer cleared all papers, and received the mortgage money from my bank. There was a problem with the transaction between my lawyer and selling lawyer. Now my closing is delayed 3 days, and I have to evacuate my current place. My... Read more »
Apparently you agreed to reschedule the the execution of the contract to purchase real property. My suggestion is you and your lawyer show up promptly on the day and time agreed upon with certified funds and make a tender. If no deed is received, then file suit the next day for specific...

my brother was caught stealing my mail from my mailbox. My father (now deceased) was living with me at the time. Brother was cashing the checks with forged signatures. Brother is trying to sell a property. Can I put a lien on his property to collect the money he stole?
No. There's no such thing as a restitution lien in Florida. If the checks were your father's, the representative of his estate would have to sue your brother in civil court and obtain a judgment, then record the judgment as a lien.
I'm a caretaker for my mom(homeowner) and we're having problems our HOA. They've been ok with me speaking on her behalf in the past but today I was just told to leave the meeting as it was a homeowner's meeting. She suffers from a variety of illnesses and is unable to speak to... Read more »
If you’re mom has the mental capacity she should sign a power of attorney that gives you the right to speak on her behalf. Your facts are a little confusing. It’s not clear if you are being charged the fees because you are late on payments or if there is some other reason. I recommend you ask... Read more »

Balloon Loan mortgage company taken over 3 months to refinance and has reported non payment since May to the credit bureaus. Do I have any recourse? This has destroyed my wife & I's credit score.
The fault for not paying the balloon off is yours as far as the existing lender is concerned. You owed the money by a due date under the note. You failed to pay when due. The report to the credit bureau is not legally improper from that lender's perspective, since you defaulted on your... Read more »
Hi, my husband and I are selling our home by owner. We have someone who verbally made us an offer on the house. Im unsure if im required to draw up a purchase agreement or if thats supposed to be his obligation. Also, if I can pay a real estate attorney to do the purchase agreement if so? Neither...

At some point in time something is going to have to be drawn up and signed, most likely called the Act of Cash sale. Who is preparing that? Before the act of cash sale, most times the parties have a purchase agreement prepared and signed so that the parties have in writing the details of the... Read more »
My grandfather wants to remove my aunt off of his lady bird deed and add my mother on a quitclaim deed instead. What will he need to have done to have the lady bird deed revoked?
You would need and want to have the current/original deed that created this interest reviewed, if it was properly drafted/created/worded, then generally, in order to be able to revoke the existing lady bird deed, all that the current owner would need to to do is validly execute a new deed. This is... Read more »
My tenants are now considered holdover tenants and I want possession of property because I don’t want to rent any more and there are certain time lines for evictions in DC.
My understanding is 30 days wait/ 30 days notice to quit then eviction.
Your understanding is incorrect. You are not at the same kind of risk if you give proper 30-day notice and then file suit. That will merely be dismissed. But, if you attempt self-help, you are at grave risk. Buy a consult with a lawyer. For starters, it's a 90-day notice. Next, if the property... Read more »
Recently we moved into a 2004 8 story condo in IL without an inspection. We noticed that we were getting a very low pressure and after a while an orange flame started to be visible. I contacted the management and board who said that nobody else in the building had similar issue and since it only... Read more »
An Illinois attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. You could try asking the City, but it seems unlikely they would become involved in a private dispute involving an HOA where an owner had opportunity for inspection. In terms of public authorities, you could check... Read more »
However, he was not put on the deed then or ever. Only myself and girlfriend were on the deed. I was hesitant in buying the house this was as I didn't feel like I was buying the house and didn't have the pride in buying my first home myself. Plus, I did not qualify for the first time home...

Didn’t I answer this yesterday. When you sign papers, they matter. Let a lawyer review what you sighed… ya’know… like the grown ups. You will likely pay for the review.
Property is located in Bayamon PR. I currently live in New Jersey USA. What would be, if any, the tax liabilities.
Retain the services of an attorney admitted to the PR bar!
I was able to resume monthly payments, however, new mortgage service has denied me a repayment plan and refinance option.
You should have an immediate conversation with one or more bankruptcy lawyers. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is designed to give you up to 5 years to catch up your mortgage, all the while protecting you from foreclosure.
The State has offered to purchase a portion of the property. This would include a majority of the septic field. She has nowhere to replace it. They did not have any compensation for this item listed on their offer. Would that make her property inhabitable and what are her options? Do they have to... Read more »
Your daughter needs to make an appointment with an experienced real estate lawyer to discuss this. Make sure she brings to the appointment a copy of the offer the state made.
This event happened Fri., June 4, 2021, at 5 p.m. I suffered a concussion with a large subdural hematoma. No fractures, but the fall injured my back, sacral area, neck and shoulders. A level 3, or mid to severe concussion, can take time months to heal. I have a continual headache, including... Read more »
I'm sorry for your accident and the injuries you suffered. This is really something that a Missouri attorney should advise on, but your post remains open for four weeks. If you reached out to attorneys in the Springfield area, most would probably offer free initial consults on such matters.... Read more »
Every envelope on the outside in bold all caps red letters read the following, "DELINQUENT NOTICE, PAY IMMEDIATELY OR FACE POTENTIAL UTILITY TURN OFF". One month I finally opened one and there was a substantial amount due because she had not been paying the bill. This similar thing... Read more »
To recap, you need to review the real documents with a real lawyer. And, the next time you "signed a document her Father wrote that stated my signature signified I was off the deed" without reviewing it with a lawyer, you'll get exactly what the document might or might not say. What... Read more »
structure on it. I have asked them to remove it and replace the wall. I am just ignored. What can I do. Vince Cleri
You will need a boundary line survey to prove you own all or most of the wall, with the surveyor available as a witness. Then you sue the adjoining owner for trespass, tort damages and possible conversion of the stones. Hopefully you will not need a Boundary Dispute Action. All of this is... Read more »
They can only be removed if they agree (voluntarily by signing a deed) or by court order if you file a lawsuit to remove them.
