1. Legally, do I have to wait for buyout?
  
  if you’ve never co owned property with somebody that isn’t your best friend it’s hard to understand just what and how severe the problems can be. It can suck, especially if sister decides she doesn’t want to bother with refinancing the house after probate is closed. I didn’t see what state...

2. Estate has unpaid taxes and potential lawsuit.
  
  Exactly my point. When a person says they pay tax to the irs as a general statement when in general people in Guam don’t pay federal taxes to the irs, to me, it sounds like there may be a misunderstanding of who is involved. His other statements also seemed to bring in the irs when it could be...

3. I just finished building a house and now i'm being SUED by the back yard neighbor!
  
  I’m thinking the damage to the fence and the lawn were the bigger concerns

  While the contractor would generally be liable for his own actions, depending on all,the facts you could have liability as well. If you directed the contractor to take an action that led to the damage you could become liable, That means it isn’t as simple as telling the neighbor to contact your...

  I added to my last post. Of course if the customer paid the helper I agree. I didn’t see what was said was she paid the entire amount owed.

  Why do you see difficulty in proving he is owed money? I guess I’m missing something. Why wouldn’t the cancelled check support the ops claim of money owed? He did perform work She issued a check for the work She cancelled the check Oh, maybe I see it. I understood it that the customer...

9. are there criminal charges I can file regarding a stop check
  
  A bit of expansion of what I see The check, if it was the total of the labor, would support proof of the contract for that. If the woman paid he helper, thst would need to be deducted somewhere along the line. Probably by the court. If amount paid to helper was more than op intended, op can...

  Did you hire the builder to build your home or did you purchase home from the builder. It can be difficult to determine which applies in some cases. With he latter it doesn’t mean you wouldn’t have had input to the building of the home.

11. Legally, do I have to wait for buyout?
  
  Just a bit more. For a lot of reasons, in my opinion, if this can be settled with the property being only in the sisters name when probate closes, it would make things easier. Others can speak to possible tax issues that are different if you walk away from probate with cash or if you end...

  Her resistance to allowing him to remedy issues may benefit him. I think it would have to be determined if the damage was actually repairable as he was attempting. If the damage from the rain was not correctable, preventing him from attempting to finish out the work won’t make any difference...

  And actually that is allowed. The executor has the power to allow use of an estate asset. It’s once title has been reassigned that it would be problematic. Before the estate is settled the estate is the owner of the property.

  Is there some reason you pay to the IRS when the other Guam residents (barring some unusual situation) pay their taxes to the Guam government?

  It is and it isn’t. This is not unusual in any case. There isn’t really anything improper about the situation. What the op needs to be concerned with in the contract is making sure it clearly addresses buyers the seller brings to the table. In most contracts any sale results in the agent...

  You can make a report about the check but it is up to the prosecutor to determine if there were any laws broken and file charges if they deem that appropriate. I don’t know offhand if he can file a lien in your state but the conditions would normally allow for it in the states I’m do know...

  Hold on Why would the house be only in her name? Until you are compensated for your share, it is your house as well as hers. Once probate closes, if it is in only her name and if you haven’t been paid, it would take a lot of effort and some money to contest that condition, especially since...

  A qualified buyer is one who is ready willing and able to purchase the property. Those precise terms should be within the contract. The agent shouldn’t be penalized if the agent does their job and the seller backs out. That is why the contracts are written as they are. They inherently...

  Once probate is settled and the house is put into both of your names You can force the action but it wouldn’t necessarily be any faster . By chance is there enough other money or other assets in the estate to be able to offset your share of the house where you would receive those assets in...
