Not sure of your question but an HOA can amend its by laws any way it wants, almost. That includes leaving out a former rule or clause.

If there is sufficient equity in the property, then a Partition Action is probably available. The Court can order the disbursement and custody of the other's funds. You will have to have a lawyer, who can get paid primarily from the sale proceeds.

I assume that you are trying to redeem a tax sale or an execution sale. Either way, you need an attorney to draft/send that demand letter, and to be prepared to file suit to enforce Redemption rights.

TN's Homestead Exemption has been upgraded and is now worth claiming. There are other Exemptions you will want to utilize also. However your SSI could be a problem. Hire a competent TN attorney to advise about asset protection before a Deed is executed for you.

Usually the HOA has the power to record a lien and then execute upon the property if you do not pay in full. It is a serious matter which you should have known prior to buying such a residence. Almost never is the debt against the owner, just the property.

If they had reason to believe that the water leak was coming from your unit then their conduct would likely fall under the emergency exception to the notice requirement under the lease and the landlord tenant act.

If the will is not probated it has no effect, including sister not being an executor. If no will then you might be an heir, so a recorded Affidavit of Heirship might help (both as a source of title and to get the power in your name). Hire an attorney to determine heirship and draft an... View More

You will have to file an action in Chancery to enjoin the termination of your mutual Easement. Hopefully an express Joint Easement is in both properties' Titles. If not, it will be expensive and difficult to prove the existence thereof.

Unfortunately tax sales sometimes purchase nothing. However it can also clear a title. Did you search the Title? There are probably some code complaints filed. You also have to get a Deed not just the bill of sale, and deal with the owners/heirs redemption rights. It is doubtful that any... View More

It is not a legal requirement. But any lender will want the Deed of Trust to be signed by both married parties because of occupancy and homestead rights which are encumbered by that instrument. If both do not sign, then the loan will probably not be made.

Nothing you have state voids the conveyance. But you need a competent attorney to examine the entire Deed, and probably search the Title. After 20 years most errors are irrelevant. Even if Deed is void, it is at least color of Title and a Chancery Suit must be filed to remove it.
