How long can I stay in the house after the sale?
Ownership and possession of a property do not necessarily change at the same time. You could rent (or lease) the house from the new owners, if they choose not to occupy the house after they purchase it.
In many cases, however, it may be advisable to make "vacant of all tenants and their belongings" a condition of the purchase, if the new owner wants the prior owners (and their guests) to leave immediately.
There are situations in which it may also be acceptable to charge short-term "rent", say, $2,000 per week, for the first week and $10,000 for each week after that, or some other strong incentive for the previous owner to vacate as soon as possible.
One potential problem is that such "rent" may be taxable (e.g., in NH at 8%), and the buyer would have to file official papers as a tax-collecting landlord.
Can you charge interest on a mechanics lien?
Depends upon the wording of the law in your particular state but usually, no. The seized property itself is the collateral for the amount owed - and in most cases is (or should be) worth more than the amount of "mechanics" lien.

If the parent and step-parent owned the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then full title passed to the step-parent upon your parent's death. You have no rights in the property. You may have an interest if the property was owned as tenants in common. In that case your parent's half would pass as intestate property according to the laws in your state which you can check at the link below. You could view or obtain a copy of their deed at the land records office to confirm how the land was owned. If you think you may have an interest you should speak with an attorney and show her/him the deed.

What recourse do you have if your neighbor cuts down a healthy tree on your property?
You could attempt to sue in small claims court as recourse. However, if the limb was hanging over their property line in any way the neighbor is legally justified in cutting the limb back until it no longer crosses their property line. On the other hand if there was no notice/request provided by the neighbor, they trespassed onto your property or some issue with the tree is caused by the neighbors removal (i.e. the tree becomes diseased or dies from the limb removal) there could be some form of legal recourse. ==Clarification== A tree problem is best addressed in a friendly manner and by the cooperation of the parties involved. However, many neighbors who own large trees are uncooperative. If limbs from your tree are hanging over your neighbor's property and causing a problem those limbs can be cut back to the property line with or without notice to you or your permission. The work should be performed by a certified arborist. If the neighbors can agree on a professional trimming and the tree owner is willing to grant permission, a more aesthetic pruning can be done if the arborist is allowed to prune the offending branches back to their collar and try to maintain the symmetry of the tree. The results may be more pleasing than branches cut off at the property line. The right to trim branches hanging over your property from a neighbor's tree has evolved from old English common law.

Can a property owner remove a fence that a neighbor has encroached upon without permission?
If not prohibited or limited by zoning, covenants(rules and regulations, usually within a development), you can build a fence on your own property. If you mean to ask whether the fence can straddle the line if the neighbor does not agree, then the answer is "no". In most jurisdictions, after enough years have passed, fences will often "become" the property line and "trump" the survey or deed line. Therefore, its important that you are not giving away property by setting the fence too far in on your line.

How To Write A Proof Of Residence Letter?
Most police stations have pre-typed affidavits which you can fill in and just get stamped and signed by them. If you want to do it yourself though, it should look something like this:

In some cases, yes, you can, but it depends on whether the bank, county, state or whoever is selling it has other criteria on the purchase.

The owner will still have a fall back period in which they can come up with the money and pay it and it reverts back to them.

How long does a judgment against your property stay on the record?
10-20 years depending on state laws and the type of judgment that was awarded.
This varies from state to state, so check the laws of the state where the judgment was obtained. In NJ a judgment is valid as a judgment until it is paid or discharged through court process, like in bankruptcy. BUT: The judgment's effectiveness as a lien on the defendant's property is only for 20 years, but the judgment holder can extend it for another 20 years. The reason for the expiration is so that judgments that may have been paid but not discharged of record or just abandoned by the judgment holder do not clutter up the records.

There are two provisions in the US Constitution that do this. This first as to all acts by states is that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Any state action that contradicts either the Constitution or act of the United States is invalid. The second is that the Constitution forbids states from making treaties with foreign nations.
