Thank you Taxing Matters. Mrs. Neighbor does have an attorney, but he retired and she is searching for a new one. Just wanted to know what the ramifications were.

I will try to make this brief. I am trying to help an elderly neighbor who lives in Colorado. Mrs. Neighbor found out that two of her husband's adult children from a previous marriage had him sign forms that dissolved the joint tenancy on their home and changed ownership to a tenancy in common...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CO I live in a small community of a couple dozen homes and everyone knows everyone else's business. One of our elderly (over age 70) neighbors (I'll call him A) was recently charged with felony menacing. There are always two sides to the story...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado The question is whether the LL can withhold the security deposit for damages. Security deposit is only $600. LL is my friend and tends to be nonconfrontational, unlike me. 1) From about 2011 to mid 2014, LL allowed a couple and their...
