1. I would have never hired a company to subcontract. Can they do this if it wasn't in the contract?
2. The original window installation company continues to refuse to provide a lien release from the subcontractors. Again, and again.

It is unlikely that a window replacement contract would be a large enough percentage of your property value to qualify for a mechanics lien. Why have they sued you? Not enough... Read more »

I am about to open an estate for my mother and found out her property was sold at a tax sale a week after her death. Am I still able to sell the home once I am appointed PR or will I have to redeem the property by paying off lien first?

We were living in a home titled in her sole name with no mortgage. The only living heirs are her siblings and they have agreed to assign all rights in the estate to me. What is the process to do this? What are the potential tax implications?

However, if you had a legal claim against the estate based on contributions... Read more »
