Can My Ex-Girlfriend Rent Her Half of the Property to a Stranger Without My Consent?
I and my ex-girlfriend own a residential property as tenants-in-common, in a 50/50 split. She has gotten a job in another state, and wishes to lease her half of the house to a renter. I don't want this to happen, as I do not want to live with a stranger I didn't buy the house with. Do I have any recourse to stop her from leasing her half of the house?
How Does a Spouse Give Up Rights to the Other Spouse's Property?
My father lives in Las Vegas, he is still married, bought a home almost 1 year ago, he and my mother have 4 children already adults. On the other hand my mother lives in Vegas in the same house my father own. Only one daughter is living with them. My mother has one property on her own. She purchased it in 2001. each of them signed a grand, bargain and sale deed by the time they purchased their properties saying they don't have any interest on their spouse property. Eventhough they live in the same property, they are separate for more than 10 years. They are old: my father is 77 years old and my mother is 74. They don't see the need to get the divorce or separation agreement. If my father wants me to be on the deed when he died, I just need to prepare the grand, bargain and sale deed and on the declaration of value place the exempt #10 that indicated upon his death it will be on my name, a married woman as her sole and separate property, and a because I am married, make my husband sign a grand, bargain, and sale deed that saying he doesn't have any interest on that property. That will be enough or they need to get the divorce? Thank you for your help I will appreciate so much that you will help me with this matter. Am I right?
How Do I Gain Adverse Possession of Abandoned Property in Georgia?
I have discovered a property that is overgrown and unused. The owner died a few years ago and the lawyers handling her will are unable to find the person who was left the property. I am considering 'adverse possession' of this property for a number of reasons. Could the lawyers, as executors of the will, stop this process? What is the worst case scenario if I decide to proceed?
How Can I Force a Joint Owner to Sell Me Their Share of the Property?
In Alabama my Mom in 2004 made a warranty deed with joint tenance with survivorship rights. It was her name and mine and 2 siblings. One sibling just died and she wants me to have their part making me own two thirds at her death and my sister to own one third. I am told I cannot do this that I have to share 50/50 with sis upon Moms death and that sis can still take me to court to do a forced sale (or I could her) BUT I have no home and mom wants me to live there and when sold split me 2/3 and sis 1/3. So the will of moms says i get the life estate but the atty says the will cannot speak for the deed, am I screwed or back in 2004 did that atty give mom the wrong deed? what can be done or undone by mom now to get me the house and not be forced out bi sis? Sis will not sign deed back over to mom!
