Seller refuses to remit deposit

Buyer entered into a contract to purchase a home in July with a closing date on or before a specific date in Sept. Within the 1st 2 weeks of August, an inspection of the home was conducted and the issues the buyer wanted resolved were sent on to the seller. The seller agreed to correct the issues such as underground oil tank, asbestos in the crawl space, faulty electrical panel, etc. with certified contractors and certificates of proof. After numerous inquiries into the status of the completion of issues, the seller never provided any finite answers or proof of completion. In Oct., the seller was informed that due to the failure to provide any update on the issues, the closing date passing without any agreed upon extention, and buyer unable to qualify for a mortgage due to net worth reduction due to market conditions and no being able to qualify under current acceptable programs. The seller has refused to acknowledge the contract as null and void or canceled and will not remit the deposit stating the buyer is in breach of contract. Can someone please advise what course of action should be taken in a situation like this? How can the seller repeatidly refuse to remit the deposit? Thank you for your help!

Property Ownership

Hello, 2005 my husband and I went into business with our 3 friends. They provided the investment for 2 houses, and we did all the work. 2007 Summer, we all decided this was not working. My husband & I decided to buy them out by refinancing the loans in our name vs our friends names. Come to find out that when we tried to refinance, our name was not on the Title/Deed as we ALL thought it was. Once we told our friends this, they decided they didn't want us to buy them out anymore and haven't spoken to us since. I have a TON of paperwork such as a Business bank account, home insurance, LLC. etc...with all our names on it. Is there anything legally we can do about this? The only thing our name wasn't on was the Deed. As you can imagine this has ruined our 15 year family friendship. Any advice? We all live in California, but the 2 houses in question are in GA.

Mobile home Contract with girlfriend

This is the addition to the 1st question I asked . In 1998 the girlfriend and I took out a 15yr contract with a mortgage company. We paid the mortgage jointly until 2000 when she moved out . I have paid the Mortgage payments taxes and insurance ever since on my own. I cannot get her name off the loan and I can't refinace to pay it off because the mobile is on leased land. I owe about $12,000 and want to get her to pay her half. Can I do this? How do i go about it and do I need a lawyer?

House I rented caught fire from a faulty water heater. Everyone got out alive (barely). I had verbally told the management co. that there were problems with the heater.

Mortgage

My husband and I bought a house back in June 2007. Due to his bad credit the house is solely in my name and I have a quick claim on it. He's been making the payments on in since it was bought. I was wondering if there was a way to have the loan transfered or assumed by him. His credit is a little better and I would like to get the mortgage off my credit report. Is there a way to do this? Some sort of squater's law maybe?

Thank you in advance!!

Homeowner Association Fines

I live in a deed restricted community in which the developer controls the HOA. There are homeowners in my neighborhood who continually violate deed restrictions, thereby lowering others property values. The HOA attorney stated that they can only access a $1000 fine against a homeowner. Once that amount is levied, they can no longer fine the homeowner for that particular violation. What other recourse do we as homeowners who do follow the rules have? Our property values are being affected.

home left in will

i have lived in my parents home for 40 years while they were living and i still do. My mother and father have passed and left the house to my brother and i. I have been paying all the bills all the expenses, and have been paying on a home equity loan my father took out when he was living. now my brother wants me to buy his half out and i think it is wrong that i have to pay for the whole half when i have been living here with the understanding that someday it would be my house. i have taken care of both my parents here and i have lived here with my husband and children for over 40 years. i have taken care of the landscaping, the bills, the utilities are all in my name. can he do this to me? he has also offered just to put his and my name on the deed but with the understanding that i am still responsible for all expenses with the house.
