Father passed a month after aunt did. So where does his portion go, his wife is still alive. And if it goes to 'him' does it go to my mother (his wife) or to my fathers estate?
If a Virginia resident dies intestate - without a will, his or her assets, including the present right to an inheritance, are part of his or her estate and would pass, if at all, according to the law of intestate succession, as administered by the personal representative of the estate - an...

This doesn't make much sense. They sold their home to their granddaughter and they are in it until the end of August but they don't have access to it. They are paying rent but there is no lease mentioned and they are living with you. I think you need a consultation to review the facts... Read more »
Our lease is up at the end of August. Over the past 3 months we have been paying the rent a little later in the month because I lost my job due to Covid and have not received my unemployment benefits. We are never more than a month behind in rent. We have 3 school aged children and the landlord... Read more »
In Virginia, there is currently no prohibition for a landlord offering a residential rental property to a different tenant at the end of the lease term. The current prohibition is for an eviction of the current tenant.
In Virginia, there is a prohibition for a landlord who is a party to a residential lease to take any self-help actions toward the tenant. A Judge may very well interpret the shutting off of the internet as self-help and impose a sanction on the landlord for such conduct.
My case currently is at uscis
It is possible to request to "expedite" your petitioner but there are limited basis to do so. See here: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-a-chapter-5
If you try to make the request, I would recommend hiring an attorney to help you give it the best try.
Best wishes!

I'm 18 years old and live in Virginia. I want to move in with my aunt but my Dad says I can't and that he can still control what I do and where I live, is this true? Can he really still control my life? Will I have to take him to court?
If you are 18, you can live wherever you want.
In Virginia, the law recognizes a tenant at sufferance or a holdover tenant.
After renting a condo for 5 years, the tenant is moving out. To avoid paying the last full month rent she sends termination notice and pays only prorated first five days of rent.
In Virginia, a tenant has no right to pay a pro-rated rent for part of the month, even the last month after givign a 30 day written notice to terminate the month-to-month lease.
The answers to the interrogatories asked, the documents subject to a document request, the admissions that the parties make in response to requests, the oral answers to depositions of parties and witnesses, and the documents and things that are sought to be examined. What those things are is... Read more »
some renovations, how much notice do we legally have to give to the tenant to vacate the property.
If you're in VA, it depends on when the lease ends. Moving into the property itself is not a basis to evict the tenant if there's a valid lease in place. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help if you decide to hire a lawyer. Good luck.
And the county is saying to get out can I be reimbursed for the expenses of my deposit and moving expenses if there’s no written lease but I have text messages saying I could move in?
In Virginia, if the County has condemned the premises, you must leave the premises. As for the reimbursement of the expenses, you will have to make a claim in the Court in the jurisdiction in which the premises is located and seek a judgment against the other party. You will have the burden of... Read more »

It very much matters where your father was domiciled when he passed. You should consult counsel licensed in that state.

If this property is in Virginia, the correct pleading is a Petition for Sale in Lieu of Partition, and, under Virginia law, the legal fees are paid off the top from the sale. As such, most attorneys will want some form of retainer to cover the initial fees, but those can be reimbursed at the end,... Read more »
