The house has been in my name and on the deed for 8 years and I have been paying the year taxes but I don't live in the house yet until my grandmother passes.
As long as your grandmother was of sound mind when she signed the title over to you and it's been properly recorded and there was no undue influence or duress they should have no grounds to sue you. When a family member gets closer to the end of their life it's very common for other relatives to... Read more »

Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.
It's a universal language that if you live somewhere you generally pay for it; evict them.
I own several acres of land. The neighbor behind me has 40. He uses an easment on my property to get to his land. He wants to subdivide his land. That would make the traffic on my land much busier and from what I understand I am responsible for maintaining the easement. Is there anything I can do... Read more »
Start by checking what type of easement he has and whether it gives him the right to subdivide his land and keep the same easement. I'm surprised he's not responsible to maintain the easement. You may want to take the deed regarding the easement to an attorney to review.
How would we go about selling them and what proof would we need to do so I have original receipt where they purchased them

I have a mobile home I bought from them and part of the contract states I have to have it moved before the end of feb 2020. They are now messaging family members stating they are trying now to do everything they can to keep me from relocating my house.
If the contract requires you to move your mobile home before the end of February 2020 why are you here today, some 62 days early? Rather than get upset about "your family members" receiving messages from the landlord that appear onerous to them, why not view these messages as being POSITIVE... Read more »

A cousin is taking full ownership of the property. Our property was never probated, and we never signed to sell the property to her. She is a big scam, what steps do we have to take

We have the letter - from the Trustee: Chapter 7 Trustee's Report of No Distribution. Our Attorney states this is enough. Attorney is in car accident and on 3-week medical leave.

Title companies often screw up bankruptcy questions, but I think they're right here. Until the case is closed, the home remains property of the bankruptcy estate and isn't yours to sell.

You need to expand on your question as no one can understand what you're asking right now.
A will is not valid unless it is determined by a Court of law to be valid. In other words it must go through probate. Speak with a probate lawyer in your area.
