Your friend was wrong in sharing the contents of the will with you. You are being way too anal about the possible outcomes. I would decline the nomination of executor if I were you. If your friend's will follows the laws of their state then you do the best you can to comply with the terms of...

I have trouble understanding why you care about how the bank reports it's income and how you think that affects you in any way. If you receiving these $100 checks because you're in business you report the $100 as gross income and you take a $5 write off as a business expense (bank charge).

If you lived there then you are obligated to pay rent for the time you were there. With or without a formal lease.

The income from the properties may exceed the value of the trust assets over time. Go consult with a probate attorney and possible remove your sister as the trustee.

You got that correct. There is almost always an easement (measured from the centerline of the road) that is for public use. Part of that easement is on Mary's land and although she must maintain it (cutting the grass, and maintaining the ditch) she runs a foul if she did what she did without...

I disagree with you and with OP's attorney. Although I can't find a case that is on point, the fact is that OP is a joint tenant in the house and doesn't have to pay rent to live in a house he owns. As to the taxes and other bills that were paid by the mother, that was by agreement between OP...

Nowhere does it say his father died.

Best advise so far. There are also elder care advisors that know the law of the state, what you can keep and still qualify for Medicaid. My mother used an elder care advisor that reviewed all the assets and what she had to do to qualify for Medicaid for my father. She did what they told her...

You still haven't told us what code violation you are talking about. Why is that?

A permanent structure is required to take back a part of an easement that was granted. That is why. As I have said many times now, this is not an AP case. OP has no claim to the dominant estate easement. How about you do some research on the non-use of an easement and if that gives rise to a...

It's not just matters of opinion. It is also matters of fact. I have no problem with your opinions. I just don't know where they come from given that both of us lived through the 4 years of the Trump administration and my experience is so different than yours. What I know is from my own...

You really are not listening to what I post. Everything you quote is true if you are dealing with a case of AP. But you are not dealing with a case of AP in your situation. Adverse Possession in the simplest terms is the use of property by someone that does not own the property and does not...

There are basically two ways that easements are created. One is by grant usually within a deed for a specific purpose such as ingress/egress. The other is by prescription by use (requires a court to rule). What we have here is a granted easement for ingress/egress of a certain width. The...

In all the cases you cited there is not one that only deals with a fence line. There are no permanent structures erected by you on the easement. There is nothing being stored by you on the easement. Go and see the attorney and if he tells you that you have a case for AP ask a different...

You must live in a parallel universe.

More fake news from CNN and all you can do is spread the narrative.

OK, but the use of the easement was not hostile. It was used (or not used) by a grant to the dominant estate. The fact that the dominant estate didn't use the entire easement for 50 years does not give rise to the hostile use by the servient estate. A granted easement is not extinguished by...

Then you don't understand adverse possession. OP is dealing with a granted easement not the adverse use of his property. The dominant estate can use the easement any way they want as long as it doesn't impede the use of the property by the servient estate. The fence line did not impede the...

The OP is the servient estate.

Putting up a fence inside an easement boundary is not an adverse use that would lead to a successful claim of adverse possession. Cutting the lawn or growing trees on the possessed property would not lead to adverse possession. Putting up a barn or building on the easement may give rise to AP...
