If he passes away before we are married, with or without a will... What are my rights to the property? Both our names are on the deed.
You did not give the exact granting clause. But I assume both of you are Tenants In Common of One/Half Undivided Interests each. Have a lawyer, even in OH look at the Deed and tell you what it says. If T in C then the 1/2 Interests go to the respective Decedents' Heirs or Devisees. Other... Read more »

I assume you filed a Detainer Warrant, which the Defendant is appealing de novo to Circuit. With this he will need to post a Bond, which you need to argue the amount of.

From property and then proceeded to sell our stuff without notifying us and. With out our permission. What can I do?

In general they have no expiration period and continue to run with the land. If you have specific property law questions, I... Read more »

Property closes this week Friday. Survey is this week. I'm being told I will be sued but nobody told me about an encroachment on the property
