I faced malpractice by my disbarred attorney who missed the deadline for a summary judgment motion, resulting in a judgment lien. Despite paying off the lien, the lien holders refuse to release it unless I sign blanket waivers, which is illegal. They blackmail me for 'collection fees' every time I sell real estate, and the excess funds go into the court registry. The original judge ruled that they must release the liens, but the log notes and CD went missing, making it hard to prove the ruling. The new judge added a clause that if I appeal, they don't have to release the liens. After the order, the missing CD and log notes were found. I appealed but missed the deadline for filing a brief in chief due to not receiving court mail. I asked for an extension but was defaulted on. I plan to file my brief in chief and argue that the opposing counsel's refusal to release the liens to prevent me from hiring an attorney contributed to me missing the deadline. I want to argue latches and that they cannot benefit from their actions. What are your thoughts on this argument and how can I develop it?

I have a civil court case in South Carolina that has been ongoing for a year without a court date. I want to know if there is a statute of limitations, what a stay means, whether I would be notified if the plaintiff loses their attorney, and if the plaintiff moving out of state affects the case.

My 90-year-old mother recently passed away. She is due a tax refund, and her accountant suggests opening an estate account for the deposit. However, her credit union account is still active for paying her bills. Can we deposit the refund into her existing credit union account, or do we need to follow the accountant's advice? Additionally, her house has a reverse mortgage, and we are considering either selling it or letting the bank foreclose. If we sell, does it require probate? If we let the bank foreclose, are there any legal repercussions? Also, what responsibilities does the executor have, and what are the implications of the accruing interest on the mortgage?
