we are three people on title to our home we are selling cause we are all going our seperate ways. the third signer really has no say cause he has never lived her or paid a dime towards this property, but now that we are selling and is aware of the proceeds he wants 30k or else he wont sign. so know  we might  get sued byt the buyers cant we cant sell the house anymore, being that we are not giving him one dime. How do we remove him if the other two parties agree?

As they say, Possession is nine tenths of the law, not majority rules. Basically they have told you to get out, but they have nothing to back that request up right? If they want you out so that they can sell the house and split the money that is fine, let them know that you will make sure that the house is presentable and available to show, and once the sale goes through you will move. Until that time let them know that you are not leaving.

You need to confirm the accuracy of the neighbor's story and validate they aren't just running off at the mouth.  Probe the neighbor to find out the name of the team that performed the restoration - if so, contact the team and confirm with them that they actually performed work in the house.  If possible request something in writing.  Don't tell them you believe you've been deceived - keep it generic such as you're trying to make a file of the history of the house repairs in case you need it in the future.  If you tell them you might sue the seller the restoration team might be leary of helping for fear of becoming locked into a legal battle.\n\nIn Texas the consumer is protected under The Deceptive Trade Practices Act - I'm sure there's one in your area as well.  If the seller intentionally withheld this information you can file suit deeming false, misleading or a deceptive sale and sue for damages.  When you sue you are entitled to amounts up to three times the damage.\n\nAdvise the realtor that represented you of your new information and have them contact the selling realtor to see if a suitable agreement can be reached.  If the seller refuses to budge,  express your desire to pursue legal action.  At this point if it comes to this you must place in writing a notice to the seller telling them your findings and that you believe they have deceived you under the Deceptive Trade Act.  Let the seller know in writing if they don't agree to your terms or make suitable amends you will sue and be entitled to damages of up to three times the amount.  Typically once you write a letter expressing your intent to sue, deceptive sellers will try to make amends.

Legally you are in the right. \n\nYou really have 3 alternatives:\n\n1. File an action in civil court, where you request the court to force the seller to perform per the terms of the contract (force her to sell you the house).  This will take a long time and since you probably can't buy another in the meantime; the wait could put a big damper on your life.\n\n2. Move on and find another house that fits your needs.  Once you purchase this home you can assess the damages and sue the first seller for your losses IE. similar house but had to pay more money, moving twice, etc... \n\n3. Get the seller to refund you any out pocket expenses IE. appraisal, inspections. etc. and chalk it up to learning experience.\n\nDon't forget lawyers fees aren't cheap; so unless your talking big bucks in losses your probably better off licking your wounds & moving on. \n\nGood Luck

You can ask a judge to have him buy you out.  If it is a land contract you will have to make sure the person you are buying the home from is in agreement with this because he can easily take back the property.  You can also ask a judge to have your ex sign a quick claim deed which will hand the property over to you and his name will be completely off the property in order for you to sell the property.  A judge may tell you that you have to give your ex half if you do sell the property depending on what your divorce decree says.

Questions to resolve...\n\nHow much is the house worth? - Get an appraisal\n\nIs the 1000/mo applied to interest only?  Does it cover the entire amount of interest?  Will the balance at the end of a year be lower, higher, or the same?\n\nIs there a clause that will allow you to get out of the whole deal completely if you change your mind, or find out that the property is bug infested, or has mold damage, or is falling down, etc.?\n\nAsk the seller for a current title search evidencing the property is free and clear of all liens etc, except for the seller's current mortgage.\n\nThis could be very complex depending on the terms of the land contract (lease purchase).  I would contact a real estate attorney to make certain you understand and agree with all conditions.

This is going to cause lots of problems for so many reasons.\n\nIf you listed your house on FSBO but have a realtor's sign in your front yard - how will you explain that to prospective buyers without coming across as shady?\n\nAnd if that buyer has an agent? That agent is required to work with your listing agent.\n\nShort answer: Pay the commission out of your proceeds which are split between listing and buying agent but make the listing agent earn every penny.\n- Make sure the buyer is qualified\n- Handle the inspection\n- Manage the negotiation\n- Manage the contract process\n- Make sure the closing goes smoothly\n\nGood luck - I think you're going to need it.

You're probably going to lose this one, though more facts about the nature of the contract are going to be necessary.\n\nIf the agent was in any way instrumental in getting the offer, including advertising, you are contractually obligated to pay him.  Depending on the way the contract is written, you're probably precluded from attempting to sell the property without your agent's help, so even if someone who had never seen your agent or anything done by your agent made you an offer out of the blue, you would need to refer that person to your agent.\n\nThe provision in your bi-laws basically means that if you sign a contract with a real-estate agent and the agent does *nothing* for 28-days, you're off the hook.  As it hasn't been 28 days yet, and I'd be surprised if the agent hasn't done *anything* yet, there isn't going to be any way you can avoid this.  \n\nYou may attempt to fire your agent, but you're going to need to closely consult the actual contract you've signed, preferably with the help of a licensed attorney.

Both your agent and the other agent (seller's agent) can still sue for their commission.  They are the ones that put the parties in touch initially.  If you were in escrow, there is a huge paper trail proving that fact.  The seller is being selfish and it's going to bite her in the \na s s.  She might think she fired that agent, but buried deep in the contract is the fact that the agent is entitled to the commission if they were the ones who worked with a particular buyer.\n\nYou as the buyer have less to worry about because the seller will owe that commission.  But, with such a greed-bag as a seller, I think they will find a way to screw you in this deal, too.  Think about it--she hired her agent who fulfilled their duties as that agent, and greed-bag seller is trying to rip her off after she has done the work.  Such a person will have no qualms about ripping you off or stealing all the light fixtures and copper piping out of the house she just sold you.  Know what I mean?  Proceed with extreme caution.

Do you want to keep your home?  If not, sell the house.  The last thing a lender wants is to take someone's home.  They want to get paid.  Contact a Realtor (GET A SHARP ONE BECAUSE TIME IS YOUR ENEMY RIGHT NOW!) to list/market your home.  Once you go to court, the lender will have representation there.  You tell the judge that you are in the process of selling the home.  Take the listing agreement or hopefully you can have a signed "offer to purchase" that you can show the judge of your good faith.  I've dealt with cases like these alot.  I have actually left the closing and gone across the street to the courthouse on my seller's behalf to advise the judge that "we are closing as we speak".  The key is to go to court.....don't run from it.\n\nGood Luck!

you have to prove it was a fake signature and get the picture of the person that did sign for you at the closing- get all the parties involved. the title company the realtors,the co-owner.  Have fun proving you didn't sign the documents though.  you are right a lawyer needs to be notified but the cost to bring this to court and put the guys in jail is expensive too...enough that you may not want to persue it.  Try finding the person that signed chances are they've gotten out of town too.  On a good day you'll find every body and catch them before they leave town but they've got to think your not going to do anything.  hence, even if you do they might not care and it could be dangerous to boot.  I hope your guys are amateurs.  I don't have any direct info for you but I have a friend that went thru similar home fraud case and the FBI and state's atty. were interested in her case-maybe they can refer a good atty. Mortgage lending fraudulent transactions are federal offenses.  If you get 25 yrs for credit cards I hope it's more for lying on a loan document.

If they are paying the rent directly to the landlord, then the landlord was notified when they moved in.  In that case, a new lease SHOULD have been drawn up with all three of your names on it and all three signatures.  Otherwise, YOU are taking full responsibility for any and all damages to the house.  Not a good idea.\n\nBut since yours IS the only signature and you are taking full responsibility, you are within your rights to ask them to vacate the property.  They have no legal rights to be there if they don't have a lease.

You can't; you're stuck. Your signature on the lease is an agreement to pay the rent along with the other people who signed, regardless of what your agreement was with the other three. The best you could do is to sue them for the money that you have to pay. Even then, it's not likely that you'll get it all back; you will most likely only get them to pay 75% and you get stuck with 25%. Your agreement that you will not be financially responsible for the apartment is not likely to be upheld in court as this was an agreement to defraud your landlord and courts never uphold illegal or fraudulent contracts.\nChalk this up as an expensive lesson and be careful what you sign in the future.

First you have to put your home back on the market and sell it again to someone else.  If the house sells for a lower purchase price than the previous deal then you can demand that the difference be deducted from the deposit provided by the first buyers and any remaining balance be returned to them.  If the house sells for more than the previous deal then you have to instruct that the entire deposit be returned to the first buyers, since you had no damages.\n\nThe foregoing assumes that:  (1) your original contract with the first buyers did not address the issue of a default by the buyers; and (2) that you did not default under the original contract.  If the original contract addressed the possibility of a default by the buyers then the contract will be controlling.  If you defaulted (for example, refusal to make agreed-upon repairs) then this whole mess is going to court and anything can happen.

I think it may depend on what state you live in and if kids are in the picture.My ex just took a few things and she was gone,which was her choice.I had to refiance in my name only and she had to sign off.Sometimes whoever wants the house may have to buy the other halves part from them.I guess all in all.... depends on your states laws...

your property still has a lien on it\nI can't understand how anyone could've bought your house unless they paid cash and didn't have the services of a lawyer\nneverthe less these people can sue you for selling a house which they cannot get a clear title to

Your options are:\n\nYou buy your sisters half\nShe buys your half off you\nYou sell the house and split the proceeds 50/50.\n\nIf she refuses to do one of the options above then you have to get the lawyers involved as you will still be liable for the things in your name.\n\nIf she quits making payments then you as well as her will be liable for the debt and it will ruin both of your credit ratings.
