I think you may have to sue someone, and it’s likely to be a fairly expensive lawsuit.

It might help if the appellate lawyer has some experience or general knowledge of bankruptcy law as well.
You should anticipate such a lawyer will charge... Read more »

She passed away in November leaving everything to her daughters in a will. Since they were married when the house was purchased, does community property law supersede the will. Isn’t he entitled to at least 50% of the estate?

On the other hand, if she used community funds and/or community credit to purchase the home, it could be community property.... Read more »

If someone files a lawsuit regarding the enforcement of the deed restrictions affecting a subdivision, the HOA or another representative of any other homeowner in the subdivision can intervene as a party.
Should the Buyer be allowed to receive all of the Earnest money in such case according to law, seeing they cannot prove they are able to pay for Seller's property as stated in the contract?

Ordinarily “proof of a pre approval letter” is not required.
