Q. Foreclosure started in 2018 and last payment was June 2017.Still haven’t been to court as of May 2022.What is time limit

May 16, 2022

A: Before Covid, a case the Court would have struck this old. You need to check with the Clerk of Court to see if the case is still active. If you bring it to the attention of the Clerk of Court, the case may get struck. If the case is struck, that does not mean that the issue is over. The lender will bring a new action to foreclose on the property if the case is struck.

Q. Do we have any rights as a renter for what we considered false advertisement?

April 19, 2022

A: The short answer is probably yes. If a property is held out to you as including a dock, you have the right to be compensated if the amenity was not available to use. Of course, you will have to prove the difference in the value of the property with the amenity and without the amenity. You should contact the landlord and let him or her know of your dissatisfaction. They should be willing to pay you for the value of the lost amenity. This would likely not be the entire value of the rent, but, some portion of the rent. Hopefully, you will be able to reach a resolution with the owner short of a lawsuit.

Q. Can a homeowner file Chapt 7 the day before his home is auctioned off at the courthouse?

April 6, 2022

A: You have an interest in the property that went into effect upon your mother's death. You need to contact a bankruptcy attorney who can advise you what would be the best way to proceed. The laws of each state vary regarding what you need to do so the attorney you speak with should be knowledgeable in both bankruptcy and real property law. Based upon the laws of the state the property is in, your rights may be terminated by an actual sale. You really need to speak with someone before the sale. If you wait until after the sale, you may lose substantial rights.
