Heir Land was sold without family consent without real estate assessment and without right of way. Current owners are trying to sell land but have not been successful. As a family will we need to go to County first to assess where land boundaries are before we present an offer
You have provided a minimal statement of fact but no question. I'm not sure what you want to know.
If you came to my office I'd want to know how the land was sold and by whom, if it wasn't sold by the family. I'd probably then want a title examination to cover ownership to when the family... Read more »
REQUIRE? No. Everyone has the right to represent themselves no matter how little they know.
GOOD IDEA? Absolutely. There are aspects to real estate ownership and sale that would surprise many people. I've lost count of the times I've looked at a transaction - after the fact or when it's... Read more »

Sounds like you may potentially need a protective order against this child. You can actually have her charged with simple assault at this point if you are in reasonable fear that she is going to cause you bodily harm and you can articulate why or present evidence such as a video of her conduct....

There are a number of factors that go into answering your question. However, most importantly sounds like you need to talk to a lawyer to adequately present your defenses to the court. If you were acting in self-defense, you may need help presenting that argument to the judge. You can ask the... Read more »
The new landlord said they're not likely to sell, but the property has two houses and it's possible she'll want to sell mine. There are plenty of people right here who would want to rent it, so I'm wondering--can I say no to adding that clause? Is it legal in VA or do I have no leverage if it's... Read more »

My fiance pressed charges against my brother for assault and battery and I was there as a witness. I just wanted to know what happens now. I was in a state of shock that I don't fully remember what the administrative assistant said to me. Who determines to issue subpoenas and warrants? When does... Read more »
No need to worry about subpoena it's beyond your control. The warrant would have been issued by the magistrate, or not, if there was no probable cause.

It’s not as simple as that. Virginia is an equitable distribution state, which does not mean “equal” distribution necessarily. The courts look at a series of factors (really just predetermined categories of evidence) in order to determine what division of assets and debts would be... Read more »
There are no children involved in the 18-year relationship. We are more concerned with something unexpected such as an accident rather than separation.
No, durable powers of attorney and advance medical directives do not create the same rights and duties as marriage. The public policy of the Commonwealth support marriage as a fundamental institution of society in ways not enjoyed by mere parties to a contract. Spouses enjoy a number of rights and... Read more »

A PDF was attached with a partition sale documents showing my final proceeds to be about 1.5% of my perceived value of the land that had been in my family for decades; after expenses. About 2 years ago my 2 sisters has... Read more »
It is unlikely that you can reverse the process at this late stage, and it will be useful to understand why you ignored the issue so long. But, in many circumstances, Virginia law in partition rulings is not final for two years after the final order. That might help, but you need to start... Read more »

It's up to the prosecutor to move forward or not. If you are the only witness then they would need your testimony to convict. It's best for you to probably retain a lawyer for an hour to go over everything with you.

This forum is designed and good for simple, general questions that will get you to the 'next step'... Read more »

In order to have your ex-spouse ordered to leave the premises, you must have a court order. You can file an Unlawful Detainer, have it served on him and then ask a judge to enter an Order for Possession.
I do not handle domestic relations or child support matters. Sorry.

When a person dies owing back child support, the debt passes to the estate. That debt is owed to the custodial parent and not to the child. Normally, this person would need to file a claim with the probate court in order for the debt to be recognized. It does not appear that you, as administrator... Read more »
