The advice that you need is obtained by scheduling a consultation with a probate attorney. If you have inheritance rights that are being disregarded, you may contest the probate case. Act quickly.

Florida doesn't have income tax. So, the question remaining is whether you still have to pay income tax to North Carolina. Probably not, but to be sure you should ask this question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > North Carolina > Tax Law.

If you believe the lawyer is mishandling funds entrusted to him, contact the Florida Bar Association. It is helpful to have written documentation of your requests to the attorney to turn over the funds as well as any responses from the attorney.

Will I have to pay early withdrawal fees?
answered on Sep 2, 2022
Yes, there is an early withdrawal penalty unless you are very close to retirement then you should consult with an accountant because in certain situations you would not have to pay the penalty. And if you use it toward first time home buying, there is an exception to the penalty.
Good luck.

It depends on the terms of your contract, but in general you evict the buyer. Get an attorney.

If I understand correctly, you are asking whether the adverse possessor, after complying with the tax requirements of Florida Statute 95.18 (1) (a)-(c), must still continuously possess the "property under a claim of title exclusive of any other right" for 7 years. Yes.

This is analogous to renting out rooms. Unless your neighbor is doing short-term rentals there are no permits required. I'm not sure how you know whether or not your neighbor pays taxes on the income. If it is a short-term rental there are taxes but if it is not a short-term rental the... Read more »

You may be able to reinstate the LLC by paying the required amount to the Department of Corporations. If that's possible and the LLC is once again active, you may be able to negotiate the check. Checks have an expiration date, so you don't want to wait too long.

answered on Jun 29, 2022
A lawyer cannot "claim" it for you, but can help you navigate this transaction. I recommend contacting the county or whomever issued you the check to re-issue it to you individually in your name. If that does not work, you may need a lawyer to figure out next steps.
The deed to the house is in just my husband and his step-dads name. However there are 4 more siblings. The step dads will states that the house is to be sold and split 5 ways. Will my husband be soley responsible for any taxes due or fees since he is the only one on the deed?

It appears that you husband and his step-father each have half interest in the property. So what do you mean when you indicate that your husband is the "only one on the deed"; has the step-father died? If the will is admitted to probate, one would expect that the step-father's half... Read more »

The purpose of a closing is to protect you and the seller of the property. If you believe the "property has no mortgage or liens", you must have had a title search done, and presumably want title insurance to protect you in case whoever did the title search missed something. Also, the... Read more »
