The estate issue is no big deal - she should have the house transferred into her name, as the sole beneficiary of her husband's estate, but it's not critical. As far as refinancing, she sounds like she has a tough row to hoe. Banks will be reluctant to lend to her. Can she get a co-signer?

Any liens that get put on the property at this point would stand in priority after the mortgage. The lien-holders would not get paid before the bank. (If it were otherwise, banks would never lend money for mortgages.)

Sadly, no. Although it sounds like they have already agreed to transfer the deposit (or the whole cost) to another course of your selection. You *might* be entitled to relief from forfeiture - some jurisdictions statutes (such as a Law and Equity Act) which gives a court the power to order...

If you were not willed the beneficial use of the motorcycle until the beneficiary is of age, then you should not use it. You should store it, and the estate should pay for the storage charges, until he is of age. (I'm not sure about SC law, but you might be able to apply oto court for the...

He may not be allowed to tear out the old bridge - there may be restrictive covenants governing its use or disposal. Have you checked your title? He certainly ought not be able to take it over completely without your permission, since it is 25% yours.

You basically contracted with the ticket-buyers that, in the event they won, you would provide them with a cord of wood. This guy won, and you are obligated to provide him with a cord of wood. So no, unless you can throw yourself on his mercy and get the winner to agree, you don't just need to...

I certainly don't see where you derive the implied meaning you see. If there is ambiguity, it is whether your tenancy is for one year or two. There is no suggestion that your tenancy is for only one year but that you have two years to pay for it, which would be a very bizarre state of affairs...

Call a spade a spade - he's not "forcing you to build a new bridge to acess your property". He's doing what he wants and letting you make a choice. I don't know if YOU can force him to repair the existing bridge, but I would imagine FEMA could. If the money given by FEMA was given to fix...

What, if anything, does your contract state about whether the deposit is refundable?

Exactly what rights you have are impossible to say without much more information. You could own the land at the bottom of the pond (the "solum") to wherever your property extends. You (or a previous owner of your property) might have ceded ownership or some of your rights over that solum when...

Try saying that again using punctuation. That is very difficult to read and understand. What final expenses did you cover?

Talk to the strata and see if you can join as co-plaintiff. That's probably the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

Well, you've got your attorneys saying don't let him get default judgment. That's sound advice. I'd take it. Your further questions were: The procedure for collecting varies by state. And this is interjurisdictional, which complicates it a bit. I would GUESS he could avail himself of...

What does your lawyer say? What does your insurance company say? If they haven't said anything yet, talk to them.

"Acts of God" are typically the subject of provisions in insurance policies, which do not determine whether an owner is liable but only whether, in the event they are liable, they will will have to pay out of their own pocket. It is impossible to answer the question in absence of specifics...

You should look into the intestacy laws in your state. Your wills may have been invalidated by your marriage. Until you get your new wills made, what happens to the house, and the rest of both of your estates, might be determined according to the law rather than according to what your wills...

Ask them for a proof of debt. If they produce it, contact the bank, settle in with a good book and a mug of tea, and be prepared to spend hours on hold and with various customer service agents resolving the situation.

I agree with Gail. I'm curious - could you sign a document stating you are leaving the apt first? I find it very strange that she has a way out that is not available to you.

You can sue, but I'm not sure why the owner of the suite would be liable for the tenants having an argument and breaking the pipes. Maybe breach of a duty to take proper care in renting? What province are you in?

There is no impediment to selling a property with a lien on it; the bank would just take the amount of the lien before your mother got the rest of the proceeds. If she wants to sell it with clear title, she can pay the bank the amount of the lien (or whatever balance is left owing) and have...
