Real Estate Law 101: Property Inspection Fee - A charge imposed by a mortgage servicer for a cursory inspection (often just a drive-by) to determine the physical condition or occupancy status of mortgaged property. This fee is often unreasonably high and an unreasonable number of inspections are often made, especially if the home­owner has defaulted on mortgage payments. To get current on a mortgage or propose a Chapter 13 repayment plan, the homeowner must pay these fees as well as the missed payments.

Partition Focus Friday: What happens if one owner wants to keep the property? The best option would be a pre-suit mediation. A pre-suit mediation is a process for resolving the case through a buyout before the partition lawsuit is filed with the court. Once a partition lawsuit is filed, a buyout may be possible by post-suit mediation, judicial order, or by purchasing the property from the Special Magistrate. In a partition lawsuit involving heirs, the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act contains provisions on how one co-owner can legally buy out the other co-owners.
