Q. I own a home in Missouri. My mother gave me the money to purchase my home. Only my name is on the title.

February 22, 2024

A: The short answer is that your wife's signature will be necessary to sell the house. Depending on the circumstances, she may or may not be entitled to "block" you from selling the house, but her signature will be necessary because of your marital status.

Q. My Big Brother Todd Passed Away April 8,2023 My Other Brother and I Took Todd off of Life Support! WE All Thought I Was

June 7, 2023

A: I am very sorry for your loss. You really need to consult a probate attorney to get the big picture on Todd's estate, particularly since you are unable to locate a will. Generally speaking, the POD account transfers to you automatically. But that has nothing to do with any real estate he owned. To transfer real estate you will have to start a probate. A probate attorney in your area can help you through that process.

Q. Condo association fee question

June 5, 2023

A: Your requirements for paying special assessments such as this should be addressed in the Declarations for the Condo Association that you were given by the title company at the time you purchased the condo. That document will detail how special assessments are determined and each condo owner's payment requirements.
