The simple answer is no. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in asset protection if that is your highest priority.
And have locked their gate so I have no access to my survey marker. What do I do? I need to put fencing and force them to move their things
You will probably have to file an Action for a Boundary Dispute and Trespass. Do not wait long or the gate will become the new boundary.
the seller kept delaying with all kinds of excuses. On Sunday, 6/28 she asked to delay closing for a couple of weeks. We agreed and I immediately emailed Pioneer Title in Alamogordo informing them that she wanted to delay closing. On monday, 6/29 the seller texted that she was canceling the... Read more »
Read your sale contract first. If you want the property and it does not appear the seller can disregard the sale, then hire a competent attorney to sue for specific performance. File suit while the earnest money is still in escrow, with the escrowee an included party (plaintiff or defendant).
This is for assessing property taxes.
I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking. The “homestead exemption” in New Mexico offers protection when debts are being collected from an individual...creditors are unable to force someone from their home to pay a debt (up to $60,000 is protected from creditors in these situations, see...

Lawyers are very intelligent and highly trained professionals--but we are not soothsayers; nor do we do crystal balls. Therefore, I am constrained by a fundamental law of the universe (being unable to know what the future may bring) and am unable to opine on your current dilemma. Advice: wait and... Read more »
We have unused space in my building I wish to sublease. I asked and received permission according to the terms of my original lease but with additional terms. Property management needs a copy of the agreement, our tenant needs liability insurance and they want 25% of the agreed upon rent! Is that... Read more »

I purchased a water softener unit for my house and I recently found out that the finance company placed a lien on my property as soon as the contracts were signed. The payments have been paid regularly and up to date when I found out of the lien on my property. Can this be done without a judgement?
It depends on what you signed. It might be that you gave them a lien on your home, like a mortgage.
It is not a judgment lien in all likelihood.
You would best be served by an attorney that deals with business law, and contract negotiations. Any business law attorney worth their salt would be able to assist you in the above.
She is a young 30 year old who was only suppose to stay 2 weeks, and won't leave I am disabled and can't take it anymore. I gave her a certified 30 day notice to leave by 9/30/18. If she don't leave what should I do. I am a renter. I don't even really know her I was only trying to be helpful.
It sounds that you gave her an ultimatum of September 30 to move out. In the meantime, you can offer to assist her in finding a new residence. Ask you other family members for their support in speaking with her. Perhaps she has some other family members that will take her in. She does not move... Read more »
My mother is now residing in MO with another brother who has been trying to get my CA brother to move the trailer off of the lot for years. What can he do to compel our brother to move the trailer?

This is an issue for a New Mexico attorney. Under Michigan law, for example, one would serve a notice to quit, paying attention to special rules applicable to manufactured homes.

Can mortgagee inspect property? Advanced notice or can they be legally denied?

The mortgage may even have language that makes it an event of default to... Read more »
Probably yes. You'd best either pay the taxes or consult an attorney about possible ways to get time to deal with it. You might try contacting the taxing agency, if you haven't already. If the taxes were income taxes, a tax resolution law firm may be able to help you reduce the claimed... Read more »

You probably need to say the city or county to answer this question, because it appears to depend on local housing codes that impose duties on landlords that tenants may enforce. In Albuquerque, the local codes state: "The windows and doors are reasonably weather-tight and, and are kept in... Read more »
