No. When multiple owners of the same property cannot agree then the ones who wish to sell must bring a Petition to Partition to a court of equity. If successful the court will appoint a commissioner who will have the authority to sell the property and divide the net proceeds with the tenants in common after deducting the costs and fees of the legal proceeding.
Your governing documents could specify the interest rate.
Yes. However, you should discuss your plan with an attorney and note that by making a transfer of your interest you will extinguish the survivorship aspect of your ownership. If the other tenant dies their interest will pass to their heirs and not to you as the surviving joint tenant.
Depends on the type of interest and what the Trust documents say.
You cannot "revoke" a life estate. The only way to extinguish it is for the life estate holder to sign a release.
Public documents must be notarized because it is of public interest although it may not affect all individuals. The public must have a constructive notice of it.
You can. But, if you have any interest (e.g., financial) in the document, then you probably shouldn't, since it might later be contested.
On the mortgage documents is a list of the interest payments for each year. If they are by month, you add them up. You get the year's interest payments. When you fill out your income tax forms, you put mortgage interest in the proper blank. Then you follow directions. If you use a computer program, it is even easier.
You need to review your mortgage documents that you signed at your closing.
Yes, as long as the notary is not a part of what is being notarized. That is, they have no personal interest in the matter.
I don't know, but it is in the US documents easily available on the net... good luck.
Generally, only an owner can transfer their interest in property. You cannot transfer someone else's interest, or, something you don't own. On the other hand, if the co-owner has left and cannot be located or has never paid any of the mortgage then you could try to bring an action in court to extinguish their interest in the property. Only a court decree can transfer interest in property that cannot or will not be transferred by the owner.
In New York, a wife generally cannot notarize documents for her husband, as notaries public are prohibited from notarizing documents in which they have a personal interest. It is recommended to hire an impartial notary public to notarize important documents to ensure legal validity.
