Real Property

I have a land contract on a house that burned down. The vendee took the insurance company to court when they refused to pay. The court awarded a small sum to the vendee. Not enough to rebuild. Vendee now has a bill with his attorney who is sure to claim an attorney's lien on the proceeds. My question: which lien takes precedent on the proceeds, my vendor's lien or the attorney's lien?

are all residental listing contracts duel listings ie;listing office represents both seller and buyer

I purchased a foreclosure home and no one seems to want to answer what stays with home and forms needed for the person that lost the house to stay in it. They now are wanting to sell appliances and things sitting around the house like old windows unattached, unattached solar water tank, refrigerator, stove and washer and dryer. Since I bought it from the bank with no sales contract negotiated in advance like in real estate I have no guidelines to standards of practice on what stays or agreements if old owner before bank at courthouse sale. What stays and what agreement is needed if old owner becomes renter?

My family has owned property in Chaffee Co for over 30 years. Our property, as well as others, has been accessed by a dirt road/cultisac. Through numerouse inquiries and searches we are unable to find a recorded deed for the road. We know that no one has paid taxes on the 60ft wide road for years. Is it possible to obtain a deed for the portion of the road that ajoins our property without going through an attorney?

My husband and I are co-borrowers to a real estate property, which we purchased in the middle of March, 2010. My husband's mother is the borrower. The deed is Right to Survivorship. We moved out of the property on August 8, 2010. The mother moved out towards the end of September without notifying us and called the mortgage company and told them that she was surrendering the property to them, without our knowledge. Because she abandoned the property and is willing to let it go into foreclosure, resulting in affecting my husband's and my credit, can we sell the property without her consent? What is the proper legal channels, when we don't know where she has moved? We have asked her on multiple occasions to list the property for sale. She wanted to be the one to decide who to list the property with, which we agreed to. She tried to talk us into signing a Quit Claim Deed, and stated that she would put in writing that we were no longer responsible for the mortgage in order to have her other son and his wife move into the property. We spoke with the mortgage company and was told that it didn't matter if she put in writing that we were not responsible for the mortgage, due to the fact that we were on the loan, we would still be responsible. She said that she was going to live in the property with the other son and daughter-in-law. When we told her that we wouldn't sign the Quit Claim Deed, due to the fact that we would still be responsible for the mortgage, but the mortgage was Assumable and we were willing to allow the other son to assume the loan, she then told us that she was moving out of state (but did not tell us a time-line or notify us when she did even though we asked for her to do so)and that she would just let the home be foreclosed upon and our credit could be ruined, since we refused to do it the way she wanted us to.
