My late husband bought a house before we married and added my name to the deed afterwards, but his name is still on the loan. The bank has sent me a questionnaire asking for our marriage license. Am I in trouble, and what steps should I take to sell the house? I am in North Carolina, and my husband passed away in August. I was his caregiver for 5 years and paid the down payment on the house.

In a decision and order, the judge used a quote from an unsigned deposition to form a basis for why my case should remain defaulted. I argued that this deposition was improper as it was never provided to the deposed to verify. Opposing counsel argued that it lacks merit for appeal because it was not objected to at the inquest hearing. Is the decision still appealable?

We have had ongoing issues with our neighbor since 2011, including multiple trespassing incidents, threats, and a general sense of unsafety in our own home. The neighbor has been offered a plea deal involving only probation and mental evaluation. We are wondering if a civil lawsuit could help us achieve a sense of safety or if we are a lost cause.
