Real Estate

My fiancee' is working over in Iraq and he wants me to purchase a home for us in Washington. He has appointed me as his power of attorney. Can i purchase a home in his name, without him being present?

Can a Small Estate Affadavit be used when property is valued at $80,000.00? What would be used instead?

What lien forms do I fill out for this situation? My wife and I because of a sale of a piece of property being sold to a developer and the city taking its time to approve the sale, we had to find a new place to live. My mother-in-law co-signed for our new place. We had a agreement to pay her back when the home that was tied upin sale, sold. Since then my wife and I have separated and she says that the house will be hers, because in the state of Washington anything inherited goes to her. Her mother is 86. </br> I found this house at a very good price $100,000.00 for the property only and it had a very beat upmanufactured home on it. I moved in 3 months before my wife and mother-in-law and completely remodeled the place and it is now worth about $200,000.00, we spent about $20,000.00 of our money to help with private sub contractors. I have over a year of labor and organizing the work. What can I do for all I have invested in the property?

I am a 51 year old male who had a female partner living with me for the last six years. During that time my partner left me for another man (ex husband) for five months. She most recently deserted me due to infidelity and has been gone for the last six months. In 2001, I purchased a vacant lot and held a construction loan in my name alone. My brother sold me the lot at a reduced price of $20K as long as I agreed to pay him back if and when I sold the house. From my own savings I put a down payment of $25K for the construction loan. When construction was completed it was necessary that my partner and I sign for the mortgage in order to quality for the loan. From the date the loan was issued I have had direct deposit from my payroll to pay the mortgage each month. For the first three years I paid the taxes and insurance. The only monies that have been paid out my partner since we have moved into the house has been to pay for half of the utilities which amounts to $24K to date or $445 a month. In comparison I have paid out $105K to date or $1950 a month. The amount of money I have paid out does not include what I have covered while she has been gone. What are my options to dissolve this relationship? What amount of money would I have to pay to her to get her off of the mortgage? What are my legal options?

What is required of a durable power of attorney that involves real estate transactions in order to be complete? Does the power of attorney need to be registered with the county clerk's office?
