I am wanting to downsize and sale. Are they legally bound to accept 1/3 of the agreed on selling price less their contribution expenses for the last 12 years since their father..my husband passed?
Yes and No- your question is complicated. As to the sale of the property, yes, you can force them to sell and they will be entitled to one third of the net sale proceeds if your husband/their father died without a will. the more difficult part of the question is the part about deducting their...

Does 2nd charge count as 1st charge? Does 1st charge exist? Can the 2nd charge be deferred also?
I think that you got it reversed. If you do diversion, then your sentence is deferred, then expunged. Regardless, if a record is expunged, then it is not a charge. So, yes, your next one would be a first.
Unless you are an attorney, then you are going to have problems getting a court date for someone you know. Generally speaking, in some jurisdictions there may be something like a 10 day rule before they have to go before a judge. Only an attorney who knows the judge and the jurisdiction well will...

You did the right thing it getting insurance. In most of the courts that I go to, they will be okay with you if you have proof of insurance by your court date. Make sure to bring it with you to court.

rental or lease agreement. How do you go about getting them evicted so property can be secured? How much time is given to the individuals to move out once served with eviction notice?
Either the Administrator or the actual Heirs at Law need to file a Detainer Warrant immediately. Hire a competent attorney to get it going. The Detainer must be filed, served or posted, a Judgment for Conviction procured, and if the occupants are still there 10 days after the Judgment, a Writ of... Read more »
getting eviction notice done and served? How much time is given to the family to evict?
Your daughter should engage a landlord-tenant eviction attorney to help her carry out the process of eviction legally. The amount of notice that must be given to the existing tenants depends on the duration of the lease.

You will need a competent attorney to file a Petition for a Partition. It is not something you can do on your own. If the Note and Deed of Trust is too high, then no Partition Sale is possible.
Yes and the Judge may issue it. If so the Sheriff will check to see if you are out or remove you. If you feel you overpaid, you can sue for the money and/or a security deposit.
I have cut the arrears in half the last 5 yrs but my depression has made my quality of life unbearable.
You might try talking to a competent Bankruptcy Attorney about filing a Chapter 13 and making payments for 5 years. It would be alot of work right now. But if the amount of arrearages is enough, and you work steadily, it might discharge it completely in five years. It is much better to trade... Read more »

TN Department of Safety can only suspend the License it issues. But the Court and/or DOS can (and usually does) notify the issuing state of the DUI Conviction here. Your lawyer should have already told you this way prior to the conviction. If your License is not suspended, you still cannot... Read more »
I am buying property, owner financing. They have sold the same property to another that's building a house. When the house is completed do I have the right to moving into it , because I have a contract, whereas I'm buying property, and have been paying land tax from 2014.
Not sure if you mean the seller has sold the property twice? The first recorded deed generally will control unless the buyer had notice of the other deed before recording.
The boyfriend has been charged several times with abusing women including my daughter and doesn’t work. What can I do????
If you have evidence ( proof for court, not just suspicions) that a child is being abused, you can file a petition ( a written request explaining your reasons and your proof) in Juvenile Court and a hearing will be scheduled where you can present the proof to the Judge. If you convinced the Judge... Read more »
I've been with Progressive over 15 years. No accidents, no tickets and never late. Somehow I was late last month. I went to pay November early as I always do and it said canceled, I never received anything from them. They said they canceled because I was 15 days late. Due on 15th, claim they sent a...

It may well have been a legal stop, but a motion to suppress should be plead anyway. The LEO will claim he had knowledge of a contraband transaction, and apparently he was correct. The Defendant needs a competent attorney.
I gave a credit card company the run around when it was time for payments due to the fact that I was currently going from job to job and wasn’t in any position to pay. My account was sold to a debt collector. Now I have papers to appear in court.
A decent lawyer should examine the Statute of Limitations, any Defenses, Compromises or at least work out a Slow Pay Order. If nothing else he should inform you of Exemptions. Garnishments will follow the Judgment now and in the future.
Are you eligible for a Discharge
Yes.
The "rules of the road" - the statutes relating to driving on highways are not applicable to an accident off of a highway- for example in a parking lot. But the directional arrow would be proof of a driver going the wrong way and could be considered for determining fault.
