Property Dispute Resolution Guide

Summary

If you have a signed agreement for 50% equity in a property, New Hampshire law recognizes this as a valid contract. In case of a breach, you can pursue legal action to enforce the agreement or seek damages. Eviction requires legal proceedings, where you can present your case and documentation. Consider consulting a local attorney to address the eviction attempt and enforce your rights.

Hi Chad! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
So 5 years ago my father and I purchased a home together but my name wasn’t on the house. I built a house in the back and shared mortgage payments. Up until now I have no proof but recently my father was going to buy me out and signed an agreement that we have *% equity and paid me a down payment. He breeched contract and now he is trying to evict us
Hey Chad, that's quite a situation you're in. Since you have an agreement stating your *% equity in the property, you may have grounds to enforce this agreement legally. Here are a few points to consider:
- Rhode Island law recognizes written agreements, so the signed contract is crucial.
- If the contract is breached, you may pursue legal action for enforcement or damages.
- Eviction requires legal proceedings, where you can present your case.
