From are our previous post, we discussed how a badly done asset protection scheme potentially disinherited a man’s widow from $500,000 family home. So of course the saga continues with the Widow being given a 60 days notice to Vacate by the Lucky Windfall Beneficiary. So now what?

So, If you get a Notice from the Landlord: Things to Know

Before your landlord can start an eviction case (unlawful detainer), they must give you a written Notice that tells you why they want to end your lease or rental agreement and how much time you have to do what they ask or move out. A Notice is like a written warning that has a deadline.

If you don’t do what the Notice says by the deadline, your landlord can start an eviction case in court. Then, they can ask a judge to order you to move out and, possibly, pay the landlord money.

Key Take Away, find out why you have been give a Notice from the Landlord.

First Step: Figure out what the Notice says

There are different types of Notices with different deadlines

Some Notices give you a deadline to pay or fix a problem. If you don’t, you must move out by the deadline. These are called Notices to “pay or quit” or “perform covenants or quit.” The word “quit” means move out of the home.

Other Notices only give you a deadline to move out, like a 30-day Notice to Quit. 

In this Particular Case, Mrs. Widow got a “60 Day Notice to Terminate”.

What does that do? Well, it asks the Widow to quit and vacate the Premises. They basically wat her to get out, and they have issued one of the required notices you have to file to start an Eviction. (Unlawful Detainer.)

What if she doesn’t move out? Then the the Lucky Windfall Beneficiary has to file a formal lawsuit in the Courts known as an Unlawful Detainer. However, the Clock is now started.

So what her options, well she can move, out, or she can stay and fight the eviction. That is the Unlawful Detainer side of it. Beyond that, she attack the transfer from Mr. Decedent to Mrs. Windfall. Time will tell what she does.

What Legal Services Could I Provide?

At this point, I say the Widow should hire an Attorney. One service I sell is consultation and strategy planning. Another service I sell is contacting the other side and trying to negotiate a resolution. If that doesn’t work, another service I provide is Eviction Defense services. We can help people delay and sometimes prevent evictions. I provide Trial Attorney services within an Unlawful Detainer procedure. I represent people before the court.

And if it comes to it, maybe we can file a lawsuit of some sort to challenge the transfer. Quiet Title or Elder Fraud, or something else appropriate. So many options, al depending on the details of the transaction and circumstances.
