Hello, my name is David. I am a licensed attorney in Michigan. Was the loan discharged or was the house foreclosed on? They should have sent a letter. However I think I can help find the right group in the bank and get a letter explaining what happened. You may also want to look at your credit they may have the phone number and information there so you can reach out to Morgan Stanley. This is something I can help you with that would take a couple of hours, but I can't be certain until I look into it a little bit more & gather more information from you. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your question. Attorney Dave.

If I am separating with someone I co-own a house with, not married, are there any repercussions to me moving out of the house before we have a signed agreement?

I bought a house with my boyfriend, we are now breaking up. We built the house and moved in in October 2022. It's too soon to sell and make money off of it. I am willing to move out, but I want the cash that I initially put into the house during settlement. We are attempting to come up with an agreement, which I would like an attorney to review before I sign.

Whether there are any repercussions depends upon the circumstances surrounding your purchase. For example, whether or not a mortgage exists can affect the situation. If you are on the mortgage, it would not matter what agreement you sign with your boyfriend, you are still on the hook for the mortgage unless you can negotiate with the lender to remove yourself from the mortgage. It may require your boyfriend to refinance. You are certainly making the right move by having an attorney review any agreement between you and your boyfriend. You just need to consider the third-party lender and how that may also affect you.

Mortgage Agreement (OLD)

Asked on Jan 12, 2025

Can a lender require me to pay off my existing mortgage in full before refinancing?

I am currently considering refinancing my mortgage to take advantage of lower interest rates. However, I recently received a letter from my potential lender stating that I must pay off my existing mortgage in full before they will approve the refinance. This requirement caught me off guard as I was under the impression that refinancing involves transferring the balance from my current mortgage to the new loan. I am wondering if this is a common practice among lenders and if it is legal for them to demand full repayment of my existing mortgage before refinancing.

Typically, you pay off your existing mortgage at the closing for the refinanced mortgage. At closing, some of the funds from the new loan are used to pay off your old loan. This ensures that the existing mortgage is fully settled and the latest mortgage takes it's place.

How can wife get power attorney from sibling for mother?

Generally, if a person is competent, he or she can revoke a power of attorney at any time and execute a new one in favor of someone else. Every individual/business that is aware of the previous power of attorney will need to be notified that it has been revoked and given the updated power of attorney. However, if a person has any conditions that may be impairing mental functions, it may be necessary to petition the court for guardianship/conservatorship. Both of these scenarios can get complicated incredibly fast, and you should consult with a lawyer in either situation.

Is it wise to start a single-member LLC to invest in Cryptocurrency and the Pot Stock market

I have/had an LLC that is a marketing company for D2D sales. Obviously, since COVID we are all out of business. I have been investing in crypto since 2016. I lost almost all of my money in the "ONECOIN" cryptocurrency SCAM. Now I am well educated in the market and believe I will make millions in the Crypto and Metaverse market. I am interested in the tax benefits and protection of the money in my family accounts from retirement and IRAs.

Hello, I'm a Michigan licensed attorney. I also research and invest in Bitcoin another cryptocurrency. It looks like your question has a couple of facets to it. One being protecting your personal finances from cryptocurrency losses, but also including them in a future investment tool such as an IRA. There are different tax consequences depending on how you you move forward and what structure you choose. I can help you with this. Depending on how you choose to move forward emails from you an accountant / tax attorney.

Hello, I am a Michigan licensed attorney. The business formation structure you choose will impact your taxes and also protect you from liability depending on the structure. A limited liability company can be set up in multiple ways from a sole proprietor to a multi-member company. And it can be taxed in one of three ways as a pass-through tax, as an S corp, and as a regular Corporation. This all depends on how you choose to set it up. Please let me know if you would like assistance in setting up your LLC that is a service I can help with. There are State filing documents, setting up a tax ID number with the IRS, then setting up an operating agreements. Those are some of the basics. I can walk you through those or I can do the work for you to set up the agreements and file the paperwork. Please let me know if you're interested in utilizing my legal services. Thank you for the opportunity answer your question. Attorney Dave.
