It is your Lease Contract which I assume you proffered to the Lessee. Any right to reimbursement from rent monies owed for any repairs the renter performs are waived or given up. So if renter fixes a drain, he does not ask you for money or a surcharge to his rent.
I had made an offer on the house and was told by My realtor that it was between me and one other if I waived the home inspection I would get the house, I asked about the roof and the realtor said that the seller said it looked good when they looked at it so now 8 months later I need a complete...

When an attorney acts on a client's behalf, they generally do so as an agent with apparent authority to bind the party for whom they are acting as an agent. However, if the agent (lawyer) acted against your father's directions, your father may have a claim against the lawyer.

Based on your post, the remedy appears to be against the lawyer for sure, however, the contract may be void entirely, depending on the content of the messages and how it was sent.
advance, I checked the plans that often. Then BOOM, they are bulldozing across the street and I get told one day “that is not an office building across the street they are building—it’s gonna be a hotel!”

Your concern about neighboring development is understandable. However, there is no way to provide a meaningful response to your inquiry based upon the information you have provided.

You may be better off reposting under the "Real Estate" category. I'm sorry your question remains open for two weeks, given the urgency of the matter. It was probably overlooked under the "Government Contracts" heading. Some questions do go unanswered on this forum, but you... Read more »

I had given my tenant a non-renewal letter which I unfortunely did not know had to be 3 month prior to her lease end date.

If the property is owned in your individual name, you are not required to retain counsel but would be foolish not to based upon the circumstances you have described.

I have not seen the Will but according to court documents, the property was named the Mourhess Family Trust and my brother was named as the Trustee.

Yes and no on the ownership. If you write to them and tell them to stop, that cuts off any ownership issues. You can legalize the driveway through your land by doing what it called an easement. It is a recorded document, like a deed, that states that the driveway is for access but subject to... Read more »
The deed reads the husbands name and wife’s name and wife’s daughters name as the owners. What does ux mean in terms of wife’s ownership. The Deed doesn’t have ux in it. I was asking because I ran in to the term. On the deed/ mortgage itself says John Doe and Jane doe and Mary doe.

"UX" is an old style abbreviation in Latin for "husband and wife". I would need to see the deed, but it sounds like it is 50% the parents, and 50% the daughter. The parents have survivorship rights between them, but as to the daughter it is tenants in common.
Grandfather passed away a few months ago and gave a life estate to my aunt who lives in the home. She is also the executor of his will. I am a remainderman.

There should be a recorded deed with you as remainderman, and aunt with life estate. Ask the lawyer for a copy, or you need to go to the County Clerk (if Suffolk Co., which is where you posted from).
