I'm divorced, 1% owner on a ct llc, can I be forced to assign mine over

Asked by a user in 06810 - 3 months ago.

The facts you provide are very limited. Who would force you to sign it over and why? You mention divorce, maybe you and the other member of the LLC were married? If so, the ownership of the LLC interest should be part of the divorce decree. If not, not sure what the divorce has to do with it. You would need to have the operating agreement reviewed as mentioned in another answer. Hard to be more helpful without more facts.

I am a real estate investor that buys and sells homes. I do a lot of advertising for buyers so I got many buyers who qualify for

Asked by a user in New Haven, CT - 3 months ago.

I think the other answer is correct. There may also be CT law that would require that such fees only be paid to a licensed real estate agent. If you do enough of this business you might want to look into the costs and requirements for the licensing of real estate agents. Then you could possibly affiliate yourself with a real estate broker and receive commissions for such referrals. You could possibly also list your houses for sale as the listing agent. This becomes involved and there...

How can i get my money back

Asked by a user in Danbury, CT - 2 months ago.

Debt negotiators are supposed to be licensed in CT and not accept advance fees. I would contact the State Department of Banking or the Attorney General's office in Hartford. Best of luck.

Problem Between Commercial Co-Tenants

Asked by a user in North Haven, CT - 4 months ago.

This cannot really be answered without reviewing the lease and any other relevant correspondence. However, based on the general facts you present, it appears that the other professional is a tenant of the landlord, not of you. His legal arrangement appears to be with the landlord not with you, so it would appear to be the landlord who would have to seek to have the co-tenant leave. You should ask the landlord to do this; although I am not sure how having this person in the space negatively...

Do we need to place a lien to get our money back?

Asked by a user in Manchester, CT - 4 months ago.

I am a little confused by the question. It appears that someone had a court judgment against tou and you paid that judgment off. If that judgment was recorded in the real estate records against you (in other words a lien was placed) then that lien would need to be released. SInce you have a document called Release of Lien, it would appear that indeed a lien was placed and you should record that release to extinguish the lien. Hopefully that helps! Best of luck.

Do I need a lawyer to get access to the tape?

Asked by a user in Bridgeport, CT - 3 months ago.

file a police report definitely (you should have at the time) - the other driver left the scene of an accident which is generally a crime. You should also consider getting your own lawyer if the damages are significant and/or you do not have your own insurance.

If I maintain an abandoned property for over 6 months, do I have any rights to that property?

Asked by a user in Chaplin, CT - 3 months ago.

No this does not give you any rights in the property. It is nice of you as a neighbor, and probably a little self-interest too so as not to have an eyesore next door. Eventually the bank will own it and they probably will not be so happy to have you going on their property even if you are well intentioned.

Property Execution Order: What are my responsibilities as an "agent for service"

Asked by a user in Middletown, CT - 4 months ago.

Every entity has an Agent for Service of Process listed with the Secretary of State so that lawsuits and other legal papers can be officially served on the LLC. It appears that you are that agent for service (you can look up the LLC on the CT Secretary of State website to verify). It appears that this lawyer has a judgment against the LLC for unpaid legal fees. What you have received as agent for service appears to be an execution, meaning that the lawyer as a creditor is seeking to satisfy...

How can I get my 62 year old brother to move out of my home? He keeps saying he will move, but hasn't done so.

Asked by a user in Waterbury, CT - 4 months ago.

You have two good answers. It should go without saying that you need to consult a local landlord-tenant attorney. To add to the answers above, I would repeat that to force someone to vacate a premises you have to do an eviction, even if it is a family situation and there is no rent due. I would not propose having him pay you rent or use and occupancy because if he does then you may actually make the eviction harder. You do not need a rental agreement or an agreement to pay to allow you to...

Does an out-of-state debt collector company have to be licensed in CT to do business in CT?

Asked by a user in New Canaan, CT - 4 months ago.

Debt collectors do need to be licensed in Connecticut. It is possible if this is a federal student loan debt that some different rules may apply, but generally consumers are protected against harassing phone calls, calls at work, etc.. In Connecticut the State Department of Banking regulates debt collectors. Please see link below for some basic FAQ's about debt collectors and your rights in Connecticut. You might want to contact the DOB for more information. Best of luck!
