How can i get a letter of Satisfaction from a mortgage company that doesn't exist anymore : I'm trying to get a mortgage loan but the Title company stated that I have a lien on my property by First Franklin who went out of business which they never release and/or recorded.
Ian’s answer: If the mortgage has been paid off, but the lender has failed or refused to release the lien, you can sue to force the release. The operative statute also permits you to recover your attorney's fees and costs. I just finished a case like this in Baltimore City - the Court released $140,000 of liens and awarded my client $11,000 in attorney' fees an costs!
How can I get my bussiness back?: I signed a 1 year agreement for a partnership giving away 51% of my bussiness for an investment. Do i have to renew the agreement? How can i get rid of my partner? My partner doesn't do anything for the business other than run payroll. They are holding our money hostage. I no longer have access to our accounts.
Ian’s answer: You should bring the agreement you signed to an attorney. That written agreement will principally govern your rights, duties, and obligations.
Previous trustee of my trust will not move out of the house that is under the trust?: As the guarantor, I established a megatrust (protection trust) and appointed my girlfriend as the trustee during my absence. Upon my return after several years, I replaced her as trustee but discovered that she had depleted the trust's resources, got married, and is now refusing to vacate the house owned by the trust. Despite issuing an eviction notice, she remains in the property. I am in urgent need of a lawyer who can assist me in legally evicting her.
Ian’s answer: You must sue your (former?) girlfriend for hear breach of fiduciary duty. As trustee, he was obligated to safeguard, maintain, and preserve trust assets for the benefit of the trust and its beneficiaries.
