How do you find out the owners name of a bar in Chicago?

You could start at the city assessor's office. Look up the property by address and the owner's name should be listed.

What does heir mean?

An heir is the person entitled, by reason of relationship, to receive an intestate (without a Will) person's estate after their death.

It is also the term for a person who inherits under a Will (weather a relative or not).

You lived in a house but you were not married to the owner. You paid the mortgage and utilities. Do you have any rights in the property?

Helping to pay a mortgage does not give you any interest in the property. The court would likely view your payments as rent and your living expenses unless you handed over an extremely large part of the mortgage or had some agreement in writing.

How can you change your name on a Deed when there is another person is on the deed you just want your name change to another person?

The simplest thing to do is a quit claim deed. It will give the other person all the rights to the property that you had.

What is Right of egress?

The right of "ingress and egress" is the right to enter and leave. With land it would be an easement, or right of way, over some other property in order to access your own.

Can a lien be placed on property for non-payment of a judgment for 1250 dollars?

Yes, and many attorneys will do a property search before they even take a case (let alone win), so that liens can be prepared in advance of the judgment being entered and filed the same day. In fact, many jurisdictions offer the "lis pendens" lien when a case has just been started, and it can only be resolved by recording the settlement or other release.

Can you sell a co-owned property if the party living in the house has gone into residential care?

No. Only the owner of property can sell their own interest. If the co-owner is incapable of executing a deed then someone must petition to be appointed their legal guardian or conservator and then once appointed by the court they must petition the court for a license to sell the real estate. If that is the case you should contact an attorney who specializes in probate.

That is considered theft. It can result in both civil and criminal penalties.

What if a house is willed to 2 people and not included in the estate do both have the same rights?

In order for something to be willed to someone, it has to be in the estate.

Both individuals will have equal rights to the property as tenants in common.

Your wife and her father have a home with both their names on the deed. The mortgage loan is in his name alone. Can he refinance the home without her signature?

No.

If the loan is in the father's name only, he probably owned the property (hence the mortgage) prior to changing the deed to include your wife. Once he added your wife as co-owner of the property he lost his rights to individually make decisions concerning the property. He cannot refinance or in any other way reconvey the property or any interest in the property without the signature of your wife.

She will have to sign the mortgage since she is on the title. He can execute the note by himself, and be solely responsible for paying the loan, but the lender will need her written consent on the mortgage so that in the case of a default, the lender can take possession of the property via foreclosure.

An ex-partner moved out but refuses to sign the title over they have a child together can you change the locks?

No. You cannot bar the co-owner from the property. This is one of the difficulties that can arise from joint ownership of property. This matter will need to be resolved in court. You should seek the advice of an attorney who may be able to negotiate an agreement to buy your ex-partner's interest.

Where would you find the specifications for the building where you live?

You can check with your town's building department where a permit to build the structure was obtained.

If your parents home is deeded to all living siblings but you actually live in the home what are your rights after both parents die?

This is a difficult situation and the family will need to get together and make an agreement. If the property was inherited by several siblings each one has the right to the use and possession of the whole property. Now there will be expenses that must be paid such as upkeep, taxes, insurance, utility bills. You may have to offer to bear those expenses in exchange for being allowed to continue living there at no charge. Your siblings may offer to share those costs and have you pay some rent. It all depends on family dynamics and whether the other siblings can do without their share of the inheritance so the property can be maintained with you living in it. The others may want to sell. You will need to decide together.

What if a natural gas company built a road on your property prior to you buying the property can the land owner ask for a yearly fee for the use of the property?

You should contact the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property. There should be an instrument in the chain of title for the property that describes the rights that were granted to the gas company by a prior owner. When you purchased the property a title examination should have been performed and the attorney should be able to provide you with a copy of the instrument that created the easement.

The most likely explanation is that a prior owner granted easement rights to the gas company for a small fee. You have no power to change the provisions set forth in that easement agreement. When you purchased the property you purchased it subject to any outstanding liens and encumbrances. If the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property cannot or will not help then you can go to your local land records office and ask the staff to help you find the easement so you can review its terms.

Is a Deed of Assignment equivalent to a Deed of Apartment?

No. In fact, those terms can have different meanings in different jurisdictions.

In the UK, a deed of assignment is the instrument that details the transfer of real property from a debtor to the creditor.

In Nigeria a deed of assignment is the form of contract used to transfer title to property to a new owner.

A deed of apartment is not a commonly used term. One use was found in India where there exists a common form of ownership of units in a multiple unit facility where the unit owners do not have any interest in the underlying real estate. A deed of apartment would be the instrument used to transfer ownership of a dwelling unit in such a scheme to a new owner. That form of ownership would be in contrast to the condominium concept where the unit owners all own a common undivided interest in the land underlying the condominium project.

How do you find subsequent owners of a property in Chicago?

The easiest way is first go online to the Cook County assesors page, and type in the property address. This will give you the Pin num. of the property. Then go to city hall, and on the county side in the basement, are all the tract books that have the property owners since the land was aquired. Bring a pen and paper, they won't let you copy them. Some of the records have been transfered to microfiche, but its the same process.

Wifes name is not on deed and husband leaves all to his wife for her lifetime and then goes to his children can wife sell the property?

You may want to look at beneficial interests under an implied trust. If you can prove your contribution, equity will accept that a trust exists and a beneficial interest arises, which in turn brings about co-ownership: Section 53 LPA 1925 - Hope this helps you!!
