Family is searching for the latest Will. Nobody remembers the attorney's name to try to find her to get a copy of the Will. Can the lender call the loan due and/or foreclose on the house before the estate goes through probate? Can anyone else who lived in the house taking care of my... Read more »
My best response is that you have raised many important issues that require extensive responses which are beyond the scope of the platform. The best thing to do is retain the services of an attorney who is familiar both with real estate law and probate law.
My mother passed and her husband, though separated, is considered next of kin since she didn’t have a will. He neglected to open her estate. The hearing for foreclosure was 2 weeks ago. Ever since this realtor has been calling wanting to buy her house and split profits between himself, moms... Read more »
You are the next of kin with regard to real estate. If you die without a will in NC and you are married and have a child: you spouse inherits 1/2 of your intestate real estate and a portion of your intestate personal property (if you die with personal property worth $60,000 or less, your spouse...

My father's house is going into foreclosure in August due to unpaid property taxes and mortgage loan. He also has IRS and medical debts. If the house was transferred to my name and the house related debts were paid paid, could a lien still be put on the house for his other debts?
Depends on his agreement with the IRS. You should run this by an accountant, but if the house is transferred they can't put a lien on something he doesn't own.

You have not provided enough information for me to respond with a complete answer. For example, did the non-profit road association place liens on the property after the bank’s mortgage was already in place on the property? If so, then it sounds like the non-profit road association is a party in... Read more »

Looks to me like the statute of limitations in Tennessee is one year. If it is over a year you can't proceed. Contact attorneys who handle "police misconduct." You need exact dates.
She will not talk to me at all, changed phone, won’t even discuss school, health, etc about our remaining minor child. Once COVID protections are lifted our lender will foreclose. She won’t talk but I need to sell. It is best for her and kids as well. I am unemployed for over a year
It sounds like you are separated from her. The only way possible would be to file for "equitable distribution" and the Court could enter an Order requiring her to cooperate with the disposal of any marital assets. Otherwise, you cannot force her to sell. You should get an equitable... Read more »
If the information on a property deed is false can a agreement be made based from it
The agreement refers to the deed. If the deed does not accurately describe things then you may have a claim with the title insurnace company or others. I suggest you review this with an attorney who handles real estate matters.
We received a foreclosure notice for our house. The house has late payment for nearly a year. The house mortgage and deed is in my dad’s name. My dad traveled out of the US in Feb-2020 and he has a police warrant so he probably not coming back. My mom and two young brothers living in the house... Read more »
They can continue to make payments. The bank doesn't care where the money comes from.
As to transferring the property the easiest way would be to obtain a divorce from your dad and take the house in the divorce subject to obtaining a refinance of the mortgage.

My father got involved with a woman facing legal troubles and believes he is funding a big top secret lawsuit against a gov. agency. However, no legitimate lawyer is ever produced when asked and some tragic event always occurs to prolong the case. It's been 5 yrs. He gave away all of his... Read more »
If your father refuses to sign any documents, even for a loan from you, you can (if the amount is doable) approach the holder of the Note and Mortgage and offer a pay-off in exchange for an assignment of the existing Mortgage and endorsement of the Note to you. The bank should be happy to work... Read more »
i am trying to find out if this company is still in business, because i recently thrifted one of their dresses and wanted to find out more about the company.
Consult with an attorney, you can write to them, look them online and check with the secretary of state to see if they are still active as a business.
How can I sell the house I was forced to leave in Dallas, Texas and /or get my x, who is still living in the house, to sign a rental contract so I am not forced to pay the mortgage for the house?

Although you need to speak with a Texas lawyer, as a general proposition, if you are the sole person on the deed, you have the right to sell it. However, if there is, in fact, a written lease, any sale would have to honor the terms of that lease. Therefore, as a practical matter, you better find... Read more »

You really need to retain an experienced WI mortgage foreclosure defense and bankruptcy attorney. Selling acreage may or may not be the best option. This is not legal advice, merely ideas and suggestions to discuss with a licensed WI attorney. Good luck.
Home was purchased at a foreclosure (judicial) sale in Illinois. I have a order of possession from the original foreclosure proceedings. Evictions have been postponed due to pandemic. Home has water shut off. Prior owner lives somewhere else, but still has keys. Prior owner occasionally visits... Read more »
As a practical matter, yes. Possession has been ordered in the foreclosure. The owner does not RESIDE in the premises. It sounds like he's an occasional trespasser.

Is the estate holder responsible for the debt?
You are not PERSONALLY responsible for paying the mortgage, but if you don’t pay it the lender can foreclose. Also, given that the decedent transferred the property to you prior to death, it is not part of his or her estate. The transfer removed the property from the decedent’s estate and was... Read more »
My father tricked/intimidated my mother into getting a 2nd mortgage in her name alone. They are both on the deed. He had the bills go to him at another location then stopped paying. He refused to agree to any solutions (sell, refinance, etc) & has liens against him on the home. He won't... Read more »
Hello,
Your mother should reach out to an attorney that would work with her. She may have options, but trying to tell you to tell her what they are based on the little information you provided is not likely to be helpful.
I recently discovered my single dad, whom has a mortgage, deeded the house to me and his name is no longer on the deed. He is still paying the mortgage. If he defaults on his loan can the bank foreclose on the house, or will any of this ruin my credit in any way? Would he be able to refinance or... Read more »
You have taken title subject to the mortgage. It is his debt as the notemaker, but the real property stands as secured collateral. The lender can always foreclose if the note is not paid or other terms are not met. It is not your debt.
If your auction was a sheriff's sale pursuant to a foreclosure judgment, the successful bidder at the sheriff's sale gets title free and clear of the mortgage debt that was the basis for the foreclosure, and all liens and charges that are junior to the foreclosed lien indebtedness.
