Alisha Melvin

I am Alisha Melvin, Esq., I have been a practicing attorney for more than 10 years, a licensed broker of real estate since 1998, and a minority woman-owned (MWBE) business owner of both law offices and real estate brokerages in four states. I am extremely proficient in real property, probate and estates law. In addition, I broker the sale and purchase of commercial and residential real estate. I have consistently been a multi-million dollar producer in real estate sales. I represent individuals, churches, schools, cities, counties and state entities.

Q. How long do you have to wait to file a Adverse Possession after a parent has passed and there was not a will.

June 13, 2024

A: Adverse possession has many requirements to fulfill in order to claim. Hostile is one of those elements which means against the right of the true owner and without permission. Based on your question it sounds like you may have an ownership interest. It I am reading this correctly that would mean you cannot file an adverse possession. You may want to speak with an attorney an lay out the facts so they can help you determine your best avenue.

Q. Can I be legally evicted out of my parents home by a company that’s trying to buy the property? My parents are deceased.

April 29, 2024

A: The temporary administrator can handle the eviction if the court granted that authority in their order. There are many other questions that remain to answer this properly. Do you have an ownership interest in the property? If you are an heir with an ownership interest the administrator may need your permission to sell. What state are you located? You have not provided enough information here to give a direct answer.

Q. I was evicted from property I was having probated now that I started the probate and got a case number can I go back it

April 15, 2024

A: You will need to file a partition suit and potentially force the sale of the property if you all cannot agree on who will occupy the property. If you all are current heirs who will inherit then no one heir can exclude the other heirs from the property.
