As a former "big Bank" real estate and contracts attorney, I love to demystify complicated real estate and financial legal concepts and problems for people who are frustrated, "spinning their wheels" with incompetent or dismissive real estate or banking "professionals."
I hate when someone finds themselves at a legal disadvantage - they're "stuck" when they unknowingly relying on outdated or impractical information and forms off of the "internet." People often get in trouble when they base their legal decisions off of "outside chatter." They rely on the opinion of someone they hardly know, (or worse, friends or family members) who is NOT a licensed and experienced real estate or finance attorney, and frankly, has no "skin in the game."
For the above reasons, I actively write, publish and create books, articles, podcasts, slide presentations and newsletters -all designed to simplify complicated legal concepts related to real estate and finance.

- Q. My ex is on the deed, the mortgage is in my name alone and I bought the house prior to us being married.
- A: The divorce decree is a court order that is binding on both parties. However, the mortgage will need to be paid by someone if it has not matured by the time your last child turns 18. So if the provisions of the divorce decree fail to address this issue, or does not provide that your ex- spouse is required to pay at that time, then without any payment, the mortgage company will likely foreclose on the mortgage and your credit will be impaired as per your fact pattern, you are the named borrower on the mortgage.
- Q. At what point can I consider property abandoned?
- A: Generally speaking, a property can be considered abandoned when it is determined by a court officer or court that a tenant has abandoned the property. Alternatively, if the tenant provides you with keys to the property, that is considered delivery of their interest. Other than that, you need to proceed with caution as you do not want to lock someone out of the home believing that they 'abandoned' the property. You can subject yourself to a serious lawsuit for 'lock out' which can be VERY expensive. Contact a competent real estate attorney before you proceed further.
- Q. Legal claims for paying delinquent property taxes
- A: Any agreements concerning real estate must be in writing, according to the "Statute of Frauds." The idea is that certain types of contracts must be signed and in writing to be valid because verbal or oral agreements dealing with real estate can create confusion and therefore, verbal agreements concerning real estate generally are not valid. For your situation, you may not have a claim against the real estate, but you may have a legal action to recoup your advances for the property taxes paid as per your aunt's request under a contract theory called 'unjust enrichment."
