This in confidence to our broker Now he is saying he has to disclose this to other agents and buyers We don't want him to . what if he discloses our personal business?
Unless the taxes are a lien, I am not sure what the issue is. If the taxes are a lien, the IRS will have to waive it for you to close. It is not really a sale issue, but a closing issue your lawyer will work out.
Also, where to find the way to deliver the notice according to my state rules would be greatly appreciated
You can serve it yourself. Make sure to follow all of the required formalities exactly as your jurisdiction and the State requires. If you do not the court will likely throw out the matter and make you start all over.
We lived paycheck to paycheck. He had been disabled for 24 years. How do I get the deed in just my name?
You may not need to. If you are going to sell, Usually the title company will accept a deed granting to the buyer from the surviving spouse with a death certificate. If you do want to change the deed now, you would need to file a new deed along with the death certificate and transfer documents,... Read more »

Generally, real estate contracts provide an option for you to cancel the contract in those circumstances.
i owned the house with my mother as joint tenants with rights to survivorship.
The deed shows a sale for $800,000 but i never signed a contract. My sister showed up one day with the deed and talked me into signing.
This is a serious and complex situation. Instead of posting here, you should promptly consult with and retain counsel to protect your rights to the property.
Although this issue is governed by FL law, you likely cannot. A Notice of Pendency is in the jurisdiction of the property. Depending on the case, there are other remedies, like an injunction, you could pursue in NY.
We overbid on a property that was listed under market price for 425K with property tax if 4800/year. We are questioning why the tax is so low and if there is a possibility it may rise after closing
Yes, RE Taxes can and do regularly increase. Some buildings have temporarily reduced RE Taxes... for example because of a 421a tax abatement. Consider retaining an attorney to assist you with in the questions you have.
You might be better off reposting this in the Social Security section - it isn't really an issue that real estate attorneys deal with. There's no guarantee all questions are picked up, but you'd have better chances of meaningful input there. Good luck

My sister is currently suing me for 22% ownership rights for a 1988 deed, conveying her rights without her knowledge. If she prevails will the court adjust her award by factoring in her failure to make any contributions to the home expenses since she moved away in 1988? Also, she lived in my home... Read more »
Not necessarily. If you are being sued for "partition", a filing for an accounting is also often sought. That does not automatically mean you are entitled to contribution towards expenses... especially if you benefitted from exclusive use and control of property during that time. In... Read more »

Generally, real estate contracts are not binding until reduced to a writing sold by both parties. Therefore, if you made a verbal offer, this alone would not usually bind you and, in that case, you may simply be able to withrdraw your offer. Although you can make a lower offer, the seller or may... Read more »

It depends if you signed a contract or not. No contract, just change your bid. If a contract you are stuck.
Legally, no. But if he says he is the only kid, someone might buy it. You should apply to be estate administrator, which is easy, and stops any issue.

There are no lockouts in New York. Call the police ASAP. You may need to go to housing court ASAP.
There is a big difference between the two. No lawyer is going to give you a tutorial. If you do not know what to do, hire a lawyer.

You cannot do it. The landlord is not responsible for your marital issues. If the landlord consents you can do it.
Hello I was wondering if I am involved in a scam on craigslist because the thing is the persons offer me a Deal too good to believe and utilities included for $900 a month furnished. Including laundry free an gym. How can I detect if it’s real and not scam ? What should I do. It’s in Manhattan
I think trusting your gut is correct. Normally if something seems too good to be real, it is. There are a number of things you can do to make sure you don't get scammed: cross reference the address, google the apt's agent, never rent sight unseen, and vet the person who is offering... Read more »

This way the purchase price and sale are confirmed and you become the... Read more »
