Can a 3rd person be quit claimed on the deed without person B? And then when the home is sold does the equity split three ways ?
answered on Aug 5, 2020
Having a mortgage does not equal ownership. As long as the terms of the mortgage are met, the mortgage holder will never be an owner. Only the owner, or a court, can give ownership to another party. Equity is divided equally between owners. This equal percentage can change if the deed specifies a... Read more »

If you are refinancing your home, the bank is required by law to give you 3 business days to change your mind and cancel. So the bank doesn't allow the funding to be released for 3 business days. The bank rarely will send the funds early to the title company, but they will tell them not to... Read more »

The answer to your question depends on your lease. Some say that after the lease ends, a new lease begins if neither party terminates the contract.
If you lease really ends, then if neither party terminates, many contracts continue on a month to month basis.
If they give you... Read more »

If the condo is in Nevada, then you will need an opinion from a Nevada attorney. Suing someone for interference with a contract is possible, but normally you have to prove exactly how much money you lost. If you sell the home to someone new, and get the same amount as was in the original contract,... Read more »

mention of a permit. I looked for one with the city and county, but I am unable to find one. A home inspection found the basement outlets polarities reversed, so I assume the basement was finished DIY. What are the future implications of purchasing a home with a finished basement sans permit?

That is hard to say. Your insurance may cover any issues, or they may have left it out of your insurance agreement. When you buy the home, it's hard to pursue the prior owner for less than professional work, as you did have the opportunity to inspect. The city or county where the home lies may... Read more »

The answers to your questions are in your contract. As I haven't read the contract, I can't give you any sure answers. I will say that most Buyout Clauses in leases are designed for the Tenant to buy the property, not the reverse. How to serve documents on a Tenant, like a clause allowing... Read more »

Probate is the process that is used to retitle assets that are still in the name of a deceased person. In order to sell the home you will need to update the title so that it is in your name. A Utah probate attorney can help you with this process.

He originally filed with "Property Management" for the business name but amended it to lease company name. After I questioned having no... Read more »

If you can prove he copy and pasted the signatures, that is criminal and he could go to jail. Take the proof to the county attorney's office and make sure they know which attorney he is using. The attorney may be in trouble as well.
And are you entitled to your earnest money back, it happened after all dates expired so the earnest money went hard.
answered on Feb 20, 2020
The most likely answer is that you are going to lose the earnest money if you don't close on the purchase. I would definitely talk to the other side and explain you situation though. They may feel bad about your situation and offer to give back part or all of the earnest money.

My Uncle passed away, he did not leave a will. So what does my father now need to do? Does this need to be filed with probate court? Or does this now fully pass to my father?
answered on Oct 15, 2019
The answer depends on how your father and uncle owned the property together. If the deed says they are "joint tenants" then your father will receive sole ownership of the property. That would only require a simple document recorded with the county with a copy of the death certificate.... Read more »
