I was buying a mobile home and land from a private owner. I filed chapter 13 bankruptcy but I relinquished the home and land To the owner. This was in 2014. The land and home are both still in my name. Do I have any rights to this property?
What do you mean by "relinquished the home and land to the owner"? Did you convey by deed or allow a foreclosure to occur? The Trustee may or may not have abandoned the property in the 13, which needs to be checked. You will have to determine what happened in the BR, especially if... Read more »
Lease states you’re responsible for any damage they do and specifically list blinds(indoor item). My landlord will not allow my dog inside and forces me to keep her out side in extreme heat and she can only be inside if it’s below freezing. Is there not a law against leaving dogs outside when... Read more »
Generally, no, most states don’t have laws about keeping dogs inside Unless the temperatures are extreme because dogs are property in most states. And because you signed a lease, you’re kind of stuck with the terms. Can you give your dog to a friend or family member during the day so he/she can... Read more »
Only name on deed of trust is hers. No husband, just three heirs.
You mention Deed of Trust. Is the title in her name alone or in the name of her as Trustee? If the house is in her name alone, you will need to file for probate in the county where she lived. If the house is on the name of a trust, you need to see what the trust says do.
How do those not interested in the house relinquish their interest and avoid the probate process? Property is in Missouri
Hire a competent Missouri attorney to: search the Title; determine Heirship; prepare and record an Affidavit of Heirship; and then draft a Quit Claim Deed for most of the Heirs to convey their interests over to whatever Heirs want the property. The Affidavit should be one of your... Read more »

You file against the legal corporate name, listing their principal office address. You serve it through the Registered Agent. But keep in mind that when you sue, the Defendant will probably evict you. And hopefully you have some idea of where to execute a prospective Judgment.
one of his tenant's recently built a ramp that extends 20 feet onto my property. I own the road that goes in front of his homes and allow ingress/egress but can I tell them not to park on the road, can i put up fence with openings to allow entrance to a drive way?
You should have already hired a lawyer and filed Suit for Trespass, Complaint To Establish A Boundary Line., etc. It is possible you have already lost alot of land. Adverse Possession is very real and if you do not act, you lose your property.

It does not appear that you have any legal or equitable interest in the property. You did not mention taxes being paid by you or any type of deed conveyance. In fact it looks like you do not even have possession which a new owner would have to evict you from. Adverse Possession cannot be filed... Read more »

Yes you technically can, but it doesn't work. You end up netting if it works out well and you have to defend it in an audit. It always ends up being net taxable when the IRS recalculates the FMV of the rental.

I’m sorry to hear this. There are details that we don’t know. Did you give her permission to park it there? If so, for how long? You may very well be able to call the police and take action to have it removed. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558

Background showed a felony.... Can they do that or will a judge have to order the eviction
You will need to closely review your lease to determine what type of notice is required by the landlord. If they provide the notice per the lease and you refuse to move then they will have to file a dispossessory action (eviction) in the county in which the property is located.
Legal measures could consist of checking existing insurance coverage, providing adequate notice in the way of warning signs, and checking local ordinances. Safety measures could consist of fencing (if feasible, based on size of pond), grill or cover (if pond is small enough), safety equipment such... Read more »
