Legal Answers
- Q. Can we take legal action for unfinished house expansion paid in full in NY?
- A: You can sue, but at this point this guy is not doing the work. Therefore, you need to hire someone to finish it, and the suit is the money you had to pay extra to get it done. The first guy gets paid for what he did do, so you do not get back the whole 60K in any event.
- Q. Do I need to reply to a lawyers Subpoena at the lawyers office for me as a witness? Do I have to even show up?
- A: You cannot ignore it. However, whether you need to appear, or just send documents, will depend on what the subpoena says and what it is for.
- Q. Which takes precedence when proving real property ownership in NYS, the deed or RP-5217 and TP-584?
- A: This is a mess that must be corrected ASAP. An incorrect metes and bounds makes a property unmarketable. If Person A is alive then person B should immediately use the POA and do a correction deed. There is a literal form for it.
