The president and other board members of my home association conjured to propose penalties against me.

Sounds like you need a good lawyer.
Start by looking for good civil rights attorneys; there are many good ones between Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Do a Google search and then start calling and talking to as many as you can until you find someone who indicates s/he can... Read more »
I purchased a home with a renovated kitchen that was not done correctly. The kitchen island is too big (about 2-3 times larger than a normal one) and it's causing the kitchen floor to sag and dip. There was no permit on file when I checked recently. However, the disclosure agreement the seller... Read more »
On any given day, any person can sue another person for any reason. That said, it says nothing about being successful in the lawsuit. You should meet with an attorney who can review your documents and ask additional questions. Only after that can you expect a viable response.
We had to stop our neighbor from digging a trench to drain the sewage from their home into our intermittent creek. Our question is, what can the county do about a situation such as this one? Can they condemn the home if the owner refuses to find a way to control the sewage coming from his home.
Your time might be better spent by contacting the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to report this matter; the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) in particular. It is usually taken as a serious matter.
No. You have to remove people from your property using the law. Throwing away people's belongings, cutting off water, etc., is called "self-help" and is specifically prohibited. Hire an attorney to get rid of the squatters, and their junk, legally.
Is it still possible to Sue for specific performance to order Estate of said person to title property to buyer. Buyer already tendered 7,500 to SELLER. Seller did not execute deed though but was already paid. Seller is now deceased.
Yes it is. But, it depends on the terms of the contract.
I am closing in the sale of my home. I work at the town office in the assessing department and so I am familiar with glitches that can happen with open permits etc. I am selling a Victorian home built in 1890 which has an unheated attic with sheetrocked walls and newer windows. The attic was this... Read more »
I have not seen your contract or listing. There is likely nothing wrong with an attic with no windows if it is not a living space. If the contract or listing represented that it was a living space, that is your problem. It is not the house that is in violation. It is the way you are using it... Read more »
You may have to file a Quiet Title Action to clear the Title. But the former lender may be available to release the mortgage, so start checking and calling.
Possibly but probably not. Land Contracts are actually lease with option to purchase, which are very bad for the lessee/"purchaser" who may never get a Deed. Real Estate Contracts are usually a Contract to purchase real property, where the buyer gets a Deed at closing.
unit. The other unit insurance adjuster has said that there is no negligence on the owner of the unit so no liability reimbursement required. The water clearly came from the other unit. Do I have a legal recourse here to sue for damages? Thank you.
This is really more of an insurance issue than a real estate question. Some people hire independent adjusters to deal with claims for property damage.
I have a judgment against me personally from 10 years ago (yes he renewed it). Since then I bought a property in an llc name. I'm now I'm refinancing and this judgment came up. The underwriter said it must be paid first. I don't understand.
When a judgment is recorded, the judgment attaches to the ownership interest in real property of the judgment debtor. You'll have to ask the underwriter these questions. Is it possible that the creditor recorded a lien against your LLC? Sure, it's possible, but unlikely. Otherwise, seek... Read more »
Without more information, your rights are difficult to determine. A couple of questions: First, was there an access easement or agreement that was ever recorded when the land was divided? If so, then the rights and obligations of each landowner should be specified in the agreement. Second, do... Read more »
My attic has sheet rock but is unheated. my town building department is calling it a "violation" because it has no "egress window" we are at the zero hour of closing the sale of the house and are being held up by this violation. I have been told unheated space cannot be called... Read more »
Unheated space cannot be living space. The issue is the fault of your lawyer when you bought the house, your broker who listed it now as a "living space", and your lawyer who allowed this issue to fester until closing. While it is sometimes reasonable to overlook these issues at a... Read more »

If something were to happen to him, could she possibly get half or anything? They haven’t been together for many years. Him and I have two kids together
The answer depends on what you have listed on the deed. If the deed says two people own the house "as Joint Tenants" this means that when one dies, the other will own the full house. If the deed only lists both of your names, then when one dies, their half of the house will be a part of... Read more »
This question sounds like a personnel matter. I do not handle personnel matters. Sorry.
My Ex and I split up and put 24 acres in his name. The Lawyer wrote a promissory note stating that he would pay me 25% of the proceeds when sold. At the time we already had an offer on the land. He found that the IRS put a lean on land once it went in his name and he decided not to sell it.... Read more »

The Twp says we can’t have an in home day care. But the state says we can in a residential area if we have less than 5kids. But do we have to be registered? That state says it’s optional
It would be best if you complied with all and municipal requirements and registered with the State.

It is possible a Defamation/Libel Suit exists, but you may not have any Damages. Look hard for a lawyer that represents consumers against debt collecting. If you did not sign or assume the Note, then it is not your Debt. You may wish to get the POA revoked.
