I Live on My Mom’s Property, She Died Do I Have Squatters Rights?
Video Summary
I live on my mom’s property and she died. Do I have squatter’s rights? The answer is no. You do not have any squatter’s rights. As far as living on her property, her estate would need to be probated, in order to determine who she left the property to, and whoever is the owner. And hopefully if you are an owner, you do have the beneficiary so that you would wind up being the owner of her property. As an owner, you have a right to maintain possession of the property, as non exclusive. So, if however, you are not a beneficiary and it passes to someone other than yourself or to other parties, other than yourself, they would have a right to have you removed. That’s called an unlawful detainer action, which is a, basically an eviction of someone who is not a tenant. And so you do not have any squats rights, not that squatters have any rights, to stay on the property. If you’re not, the owner of the property, or have rented the property. If you have any questions, give me a call. Its 727) 847-2288.

Should Bank Accounts of the Deceased Person Be Closed Immediately Upon Death?
Video Summary
Should a bank account of the deceased person be closed immediately upon death? First off is we would need to determine whether or not as a joint account, if it’s a joint account, particularly between husband and wife, I do not suggest that it be closed immediately. The reason for that is if a check comes in payable to the decedent, you need to have some place to deposit it so that you wouldn’t have to go through a probate proceeding in order to cash the check. If however, the account is just in the decedent’s name, I suggest that you may want to deliver a death certificate to the bank and ask them to freeze the account. You would then need to go through a probate proceeding in order to close the account and collect the proceeds. So if you have any questions about how to collect the money from a decedents bank account, give me a call at 727) 847-2288.
What Can I Do If My Neighbor Is Harassing Me
Video Summary
What can I do if my neighbor is harassing me? Well, 1st off, we need to determine what you mean by the neighbor harassing you. Many times I get calls from folks with a neighbor is continuing to call code enforcement or call the county to come out and check on about any potential code violations or anything else. And they’re using the government to harass you. As far as that’s concerned, under those circumstances, you have no recourse against your neighbor. The only time that you would be able to do anything about your neighbor, harassing you is in the event that they would break the law. Such as you know, them calling you or whatever. And then you need to report that to the Sheriff’s office, or the police to file a complaint and have them investigated and charge them with a crime. But unless they are committing a crime, I’m not aware of anything that you can do as far as harassment. There, I did see recent case where the neighbor was shining their spotlights into the neighbor’s windows or patio next door. And there was an action as far as that’s concerned, but usually with harassment, unless they’re breaking the law, there isn’t much. My phone number’s (727) 847-2288.

Can I Legally Access A Deceased Person Email Account
Video Summary
Can I legally access a deceased person’s email account? The answer is no, you cannot. There is specific language that needs to go in into a will, which provides the personal representative when appointed by the court to have these powers, to be able to access electronic accounts. And that legislation was passed and they negotiated with Google and some of the other major companies in order to have the language, which would be recognized and authorize the personal representative to access these accounts. I won’t go into the practical aspects of that, but that’s the answer is without being appointed the personal representative with those powers, well, you are not, legally supposed to access the electronic accounts of the decedent. You can call me, although I don’t have any expertise and I’ve never had to have a personal representative have to use those powers. My phone number (727) 847-2288.

Who Gets a Deceased Persons Vehicle When It Has a Loan
Video Summary
Who gets a deceased person’s automobile when it has a loan against it. The same persons that would receive the automobile, if there wasn’t a loan on it, and whoever is the beneficiary, whether that be the children, the spouse, or someone that they left to under the will. They would be entitled to the title, to the automobile, and it would be subject to the loan. So, what my experience has been whenever someone wants to keep the automobile, we, advise them the best thing to do is to go ahead and pay the lean off so that we can obtain the title and have the title removed, and then they can be placed into their names. So that is the practical approach on what to do about, automobiles with leans against them. Whenever you have automobiles under leases, it’s even a larger problem. If you have any questions, give me a call. It’s (727) 847-2288.
