My daughter who is 20 left the house with a man who is 15 year her senior am I obligated to had over all her personal documents
Family
Medical Agreement
Virginia
She does have some medical issues that needs medical appointments one for her eyes and heart when she was born I had German measles and she needs constant care

If she's fully competent, then at 20 years old she is entitled to make her own decisions about who she has relationships with. If you have documents that she needs to engage competent medical care, then, yes; she should have those documents. In theory, if she needed them badly enough, she could sue you for possession of the documents (it's called a replevin lawsuit). Withholding documents about her medical care in order to force her to obey you regarding her relationship choices could cause you legal trouble down the road. Not to mention the cost it will have to your personal relationship with her. You're better off in the long run making sure she gets her needed medical care and being there to support her if and when her relationship sours. Trying to hold her documents over her is not a good idea, either from a legal standpoint or a human standpoint. Good luck and I wish you the best.
Lien on house
Real Estate
Lien
Virginia
Trying to sell home. My title company having issue settling the debt. Title company contact loan to payoff, but no record of my property was found. Only past owner current home is on the loan. Quit Deed was done 2012. In 2015 past owner loan was passed to a different company who record in Florida my parcel number. So basically I can't pay loan off because my home is not attached to her loan. I still can't clear title because lien was recorded 2015 in Fl court house, but The past owner was no longer on deed. Looking to hire a lawyer to clear title, so I can sell my home.

This sounds complicated enough that you need a lawyer to get involved. Do you have a title insurance "owner's policy"? If so, that might get you a free lawyer (I can't tell from the facts you presented whether that will work). Also, you've tagged this question as a Virginia question, but you mention the lien being recorded in Florida. You need an experienced lawyer in the jurisdiction in which the property is located. If the house is in Virginia, you need a Virginia lawyer; if in Florida, you need a Florida lawyer. If it's a lien on Virginia property from a Florida judgment, then you need a Virginia lawyer, because that's where the property is located.

i have frienen is on my deed so he wants quit from deed how much charge
Michael T.
Generally speaking, getting your friend "off the title" just needs a deed granting you his interest in the property. A real estate lawyer could prepare such a deed for only a few hundred dollars. But that does not include having a title examination done, and it doesn't include the recordation cost (the deed needs to be recorded in the local land records, and the cost varies).
What contracts do I need for my business?
Business Contracts
Service Provider Agreement
Virginia
Hello, My name is Brian Vargas and I’m the CEO & Founder of chorrz.com - an e-commerce platform website that will provide apartment cleaning services through leveraging partnerships with local cleaning providers. My company CHORRZ would operate as follows - I would be partnering with local cleaning providers - (i.e., Marie’s Cleaning Service) who already have their own insurance and this entity would be providing the clean upon being booked by the apartment resident through my platform, chorrz.com. These cleaning providers would effectively be independent contractors and not my employees as CHORRZ is only the platform for seeing local cleaners to book a clean from. My question relates to which type of contract or agreement is suitable for this style of business? A Service Partnership Agreement or maybe an Independent Contractor Agreement? I’ll be partnering with cleaning businesses run by 1 person (the owner) and cleaning companies with multiple cleaners employed. Kind regards, Brian
Jane C.
I suggest you have a consultation with an attorney. A service agreement or independent contractor contract may work depending on the circumstances. Best of luck with your new venture.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
