Property Rights Dispute Resolution

Summary

In Alabama, joint tenancy with rights of survivorship usually means the surviving tenant becomes the sole owner after the other tenants death. However, a 14-year-old court order and actions by an administrator may complicate this. Verify the court orders validity and whether the clerk had authority to act on your behalf. Consult a local attorney to explore challenging the administrators actions.

In Alabama if property vest to you after your ex spouse dies through joint tenancy with rights of survivorship can an administrator 3 years later and the clerk act in your behalf and take that property using a 14 year old court order that wasn't acted upon stating my name was to be roced from the property

- The statute of limitations on enforcing such orders should be reviewed.
Would you like to know more about challenging the administrator's actions?
The clerk acted in behalf of me as me signing my property rights over to the administrator acting in behalf of my ex spouse that is deceased but I didn't think my ex had any rights to the property after he died and it vested to me
