What is the name of your state? MN
About 4 years ago, my sister and her boyfriend entered into a contract for deed together. Well, you know what comes next, they split up. He left about 6 months ago and did return about a month later to pick up his personal belongings. Today, she came home and there are items missing... value over $10K. He left a note saying he took 'his things" was left inside the house. Also, in the mail, was a letter from his lawyer saying she had 2 weeks to pay him $20K or the property would be listed for sale.
During the time they were together they ran a home business. He handled the paperwork and she did the services. They shared one bank account with his name on it only. He was paid an amount of money to buy him out of the business 5 months ago. An amount that they both agreed would settle things.
What rights does he have here? The police were called and a report was filed. If a person abandoned the property and the deed do they really have rights to it? Both of their names are on the contract at this point.
Any advice?
