BTW - this is in Canada
Would not even repsect only request of deceased sister for funeral arrangement to have 3 days in obit…had to fight to get her to pay for two days…now lies about getting headstone for sister…did not buy…got 100,000 for self too…not in will…but she is a sibling so law allows split with all sibling, but each got 100,000 and this person’s lawyer said she could keep $100,000 in estate as well ($400,000 in total - 3 siblings)…but for no purpose…only expense is executor’s lawyer…and later a property left in will as lifetime ownership to brother will be sold after death…but will states those expenses for real estate agent, etc, to be paid from profits of property so no need for money kept aside for that…
I did not like how many things were done incl her abusing POA and obtaining only near end of sister’s life,…deceased refused POA to her until the end, went against other family members wishes and even some nurses in last days for care to hasten death and now I have discovered this person tried to borrow money from both the deceases sister and living elderly brother…both refused … now finding out that this woman took sister to her bank to close out account meant for other people in will only year before her death…manipulated her out of leaving money to others. BOTH living siblings too sick to understand what she is up to…did not hire or meet with any lawyers at all…too old to even question about tombstone. Other relatives in will not given anything that will dictated…BUT IT WENT THROUGH PROBATE. I thought probate would look at it…but perhaps with no objection, it just let it pass.
What is the ramification…does someone have to get a lawyer to challenge her behaviour and even refusal to buy tombstone…I have no money for that…is there a place to report…other siblings are both very sick and elderly…cannot understand any of it at all…
4H - we do have some legal aid…but this would not be to ask for assistance for me…I wouldn’t go after what was meant for me or my kids in the will…I won’t act like her…I just don’t want her to deny the tombstone or for her to shelter money for herself for after her older siblings die…so I’m assuming that legal aid would only represent my interests…and the elderly siblings are just too old to do anything on their own behalf…one home bound and the other with dementia, etc., but I have not got any POA yet…so could not act on their behalf or I certainly would.
Is there that much real estate fraud there that they have to resort to something like this? Do you think this is an invasion of privacy?
"Fingerprinting is something we often associate with crime. So the fact that Cook County home sellers will soon have to provide a thumb print left some people shocked.
The new law, which is set to go into effect June 1, 2009, will force anyone selling property in Cook County to provide a thumbprint from their right hand.
Experts say one basic example of real estate fraud occurs when a seller misrepresents his or her identity, receives money and then flees."

I have a new neighbor that is buying property bond for deed come talk to me the other day. He said that the property line runs thru my garage anad shed i have on my property. We have owend the land for over 45 years the previous owner never said a word about the line being wrong. Does the new owner make us buy the land form him ?
We wait at a conference table, like some kind of executive board members, waiting for the smiling lawyers to arrive. Then sign a bunch, that we really do not understand, nor have the time and means to find out ( lacking law degrees) They take a huge portion from both seller and buyer, then the agents get theirs. The houses, in order to meet all kinds of standards put forth by the parasites in federal and state lobby, will have the dwelling treated for termites, whether it is threatened or not. Construction and repairs will be done to correct faults and rot that does not exist, and they will collect from both parties, when they can. A lot of dishonest dealing will occur, that you may never realize. It is a lot more untangled to get a divorce, especially if no property ownership is involved. Can buying and selling be made easy? and would more people own property?
IF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY IS IN THE NAME OF THE HUSBAND ONLY, SHALL WILLS AND TRANSFER BE VALID WITHOUT THE SIGNATURE OF THE WIFE? THERE WAS A PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION BY PRES. CLINTON THAT BOTH SPOUSES MUST SIGN THE PAPERS FOR SUCH TO BE VALID. WHAT HAPPEN WITH THAT LAW? WHERE MAY I FIND A COPY?
My husband and I have 5 sons total. One his, two mine and two ours. We have been estranged from his son, who is 17 now, for years. My sons are 20 and 18. Ours together are both 4. We have a will, have no real estate, but do have personal property and life insurance. The estranged son is not mentioned, at all, in our will. My mother in law thinks he should be acknowledged and specified as getting nothing, so he cannot contest if my husband or both of us died. If my husband died I would actually need the life insurance money to raise the two youngest, not fight that son in court til the money is gone. Do you think we should specify he gets 0?
Just for clarity: I said mother in law, the estranged son’s own Grandmother. One of the many things this son has done, at 15 he accused his own neighbor of molesting him. That guy lost his house, job and life and a year and a half later was cleared after it was unfounded. The son has done similar things to numerous people. So, no lectures, we just don’t want two small boys, siblings or not, to be around him.
I have invested with a company in Utah that charged an origionation fee for me to purchase a property in a pre-construction joint venture agreement.
I front ten percent down for the investment, the money goes into escrow, the company who finds this investment charges a fee and then the project is never built. My escrow money can be refunded and they keep my origination fee for their efforts?!
Is this legal? I am not sure if there is a law that says it is illegal, but I would love to know the Utah statuate that says I can get my origination fee back.
I have worked with this company for a long time and still do their computer networking. I have access to all their files and can see even the most sensitive data at this company. I have done my homework. My question is one of legality. . .Not a scam. Please answer MY question here, not suggest that I ask a different one like did I get scammed.
I live in a 55+ community on Long Island, NY. The Board of Directors of my homeowners association is proposing to place restrictions on homeowners wishing to rent their units. Some of the restrictions make sense (e.x., tenant must meet the age requirement - totally understandable). However, many of the restrictions seem…just wrong. For example; a) the Board of Directors is reserving the right to evict a tenant without the owners permission, b) the Board of Directors is requiring that a rental application be submitted to THEM and they are reserving the right to reject any applicant they find objectional (regardless of wether or not the homeowner has approved the applicant) c) homeowners renting their properties can enter into leases only in 12 consecutive month increments d) for the privilege of allowing homeowners to lease out their properties the Board will charge a non-refundable fee of $500.00 annually.
In my opinion the most objectionable of these restrictions is the one allowing Board members the right to reject any applicant they find "objectionable". To me this is a very thinly disguised way of preventing non-whites from moving into the neighborhood. Also, I find it hard to believe that a homeowners association has the right to override my decisions with regard to MY property and tell me who I can rent to (and for how long), that they can evict a tenant renting my home without my permission, and that the have the right to charge me $500.00 a year (without explaining what services this charge covers - seeming because they have been gracious enough to allow me to lease the home I OWN). Any input from someone familiar with New York State real estate law would be most appreciated. Also, any information about what local government agency/office I could contact regarding my concerns would be very welcome. Thank you in advance to all who take the time to read and respond to my question.
I worked with a co. that closed its office. They had burned many bridges, ect, ect….and gave employees their offices to take home(computer, office supplies). And it is a real estate co. so it includes "sensitive paperwork" as they called it.
They told me, good luck if you can make something outta this. As far as we heard everything was getting repo’d or something. The boss even took me down to where he was "hiding" his stuff, from the irs and the labor board, to give me a desk and chair also. he said "good luck". "take care".
it didnt work out, working from home, i was threatened twice by customers becasue of the position he put me in, and he stole money from ups letter on my desk that was supposed to come to me, and he cashed it but told me that he doesnt know where it went! the customer has the proof that he cashed it under one of his alias business names. SO i told them so and now they want "thier" stuff back. The stuff that they GAVE to me. They have called and left me snotty messages. one came to my house whuile i was gone and left some note about how i havr to return it to them or they will file a police report, and report me to the appropriate federal branch or something, for holding sensitive material.
i know before they closed the office, some girl came around and had us ALL fill out new w2 stuff and she told me to date it dec 1 2006 even though this was towards the end of january. it had a new business name. i dated it current and she brought me a new one to fill out. these people use all types of business names. the notice brought by my house, unnoterized, unsigned has one name they used. and the new w2 stuff had a different name on it. i didnt sign w2 under this name they are using to request thier stuff. i mention this becasue thier was some clause about having to return all office stuff under the OTHER name.
my husband and my new boss say not to worry about it since this notice came unnoterized and unsigned. And that i should not talk to them or respond to their harrasment.
what am i looking at? Can i get in trouble? i dont have a problem returning sensitive material, ie, all the files i have. possesion is 9/10s of the law. and they freakin gave the other stuff to me! Indiangivers.
If a servicing company bought a foreclosure property and then sold it at an auction, would the title need to be cleared first, paying off both the first and second mortgage? If not, why not, if so, how can I be sure? I had a second mortgage on a property that sold without paying me off!
The second was a "free standing" loan, however it was considered a second mortgage and was listed on the county records as part of the original sale before going into foreclosure, does this mean that I could go after the original buyers of my home, because it was listed as free standing? Thanks!
