Property Dispute Legal Options

Summary

If you face eviction and property disputes in Louisiana, consider these steps: file a motion to modify protective orders for personal items, explore legal aid for inheritance claims, and verify eviction legality. Without a will, intestate laws may apply, requiring succession proceedings to establish ownership. If funds are limited, seek free or low-cost legal aid services. For withheld property, gather ownership documentation and consider filing a police report.

Hello Rodney! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
I have not been able to access any of my personal items from my home I lived with my mother. Also any of my business equipment because of my LLC being attached to the address. Camper which is in my name is also being withheld because of a protective order. Out of the blue I get an eviction notice from my mother then a few weeks later I'm being arrested on false allegations. This has not happened just once but two times in the last year. Charges were dropped first time and spent * weeks in parish jail. She also won't give me my dog. I have no resources I can't talk to her to get my stuff I can't have anybody else talk to her to get my stuff that I own outright and in my inheritance which I believe the house should be mine in a lot of other stuff cuz my dad didn't have a will. I live in Louisiana so could you give me some options on how to handle this legally.
It sounds like a complex situation, Rodney. Here are some steps you might consider:
- Protective Order: Request a court modification to retrieve personal items.
- Eviction and Property: Consult a lawyer for potential inheritance claims, especially if no will exists.
- False Allegations: Consider legal action for wrongful arrest if charges were dropped.
- Dog Custody: Seek mediation or legal advice for pet recovery.

Rodney, here are some options you can consider:
- Court Modification: File a motion in court to modify the protective order for retrieving your items. You can do this without a lawyer by visiting your local courthouse.

- Free Legal Assistance: Look for legal aid organizations in Louisiana that offer free or reduced-cost services to those who qualify financially.

Rodney, it sounds like you're in a tough spot. Generally, if someone is unlawfully withholding your property, you might be able to file a police report for theft. However, given the protective order and family dynamics, it may complicate the situation. You could also consider seeking a court order to retrieve your belongings. It might help to gather any documentation proving ownership of the items. If needed, I can help you find more resources or legal aid options in your area.
So how do I go about the house being mine and can she evict me wrongfully and then the business I mean how is she allowed to do this and then we have no options
Case Rating: *
Rodney, dealing with property and eviction issues can be challenging, especially with family involved. Here are some general considerations for your situation:
- Inheritance & Ownership: If your father left no will, intestate laws in Louisiana may apply. You might have a claim to the property. Consult a probate attorney if possible.
- Eviction: If you were living there without a formal lease, eviction rules may differ. Check if the eviction notice complies with local laws.
- Business Equipment: If the LLC is registered to that address, ensure your business records are in order, which might support your claims.
Consider reaching out to local legal aid for assistance on these issues.
Well I thought that's what you were for to give me some time at least fax on the wall but I haven't even got mad you just tell me to go find out the law
Case Rating: *
Rodney, I understand your frustration. Here are some steps you might consider:
- Inheritance & Ownership: If no will exists, intestate laws might apply. Consulting a probate attorney could clarify your claim.
- Eviction: Ensure the eviction was lawful. Without a formal lease, rules may vary.
- Business & Personal Property: Keep documentation proving ownership and consider filing a police report if property is unlawfully withheld.
If you need more specific guidance, I can help you find additional resources or legal aid options in your area.
So what does Ensure the eviction was lawful there was no formal lease and I don't know the rules on it we never signed nothing cuz it was my house it was supposed to be mine
Case Rating: *
In Alabama, if there's no formal lease, eviction still requires following legal procedures, such as:
- Providing a written notice to vacate.
- Allowing a reasonable time frame to leave.
- Filing an eviction lawsuit if you don't leave voluntarily.
You might want to check with a local lawyer to ensure compliance. Do you need help finding legal aid organizations nearby?
Yeah but I own the house what's the law on that if I own the house can she evict me
Case Rating: *
If you own the house, typically, you cannot be evicted from your own property. However, if your mother has legal grounds (e.g., a court order), it might complicate matters. Ownership documentation will be crucial here. Have you been able to confirm your ownership with property records?
It hasn't been changed yet because my father's death and I didn't know that I was supposed to or that they were such a thing as a succession and I don't have the money to get a succession to prove ownership that's what I can come up with so far is that correct
Case Rating: *
Rodney, it sounds like you're facing a challenging situation. Here's some general information that might help:
- Succession in Louisiana: If your father passed without a will, Louisiana's intestate laws apply. You may need to initiate a succession proceeding to establish ownership.
- Legal Aid: Since funds are tight, continue exploring free or low-cost legal aid services in Louisiana.
