- Q. Can a real estate seller trustee stop a sale after purchase & sale?
- A: This is not the type of straightforward question well suited to a question and answer online forum. It appears there are issues with the trust and the trustees' powers that are specific to this situation. In other words, there is no standard answer to your question. I strongly suggest you consult with your lawyer in depth in order to grapple with this matter.
- Q. What does "full possession of the premises" mean in an MA real estate contract?
- A: The phrase refers to the fact that you have a legal right to possession and the seller no longer has such a right. It does not address the practical issue of how physically you enter the property. Getting you the keys is something the real estate broker usually deals with.
- Q. Canceled license plates are being used by someone else in another state.
- A: Unfortunately I suggest you obtain the services of a New York attorney experienced in this type of law because you are going to have to convince a judge that you are not responsible for the tickets based on your circumstances described above. You can also keep attempting to dispute the tickets remotely as you have done, you have had success so far, maybe you will continue to have success.
