Is a case on hold if your attorney withdraws as counsel and for how long is the matter stayed?

You need to look at the case to determine if case is on hold; only the court can put the case on hold. Your rights may be affected by the attorney withdrawal,, if a court hearing is upcoming. So time is of the essence.

If there are two personal representatives on a will, can one legally put the house on the market without the second person's signature?

The court appointed representative of the estate must execute the deed to sell the property. If real estate is part of the decedents estate then a probate should be opened and a representative appointed by the court. The court appointed representative of the estate has the authority to bind the estate.

If the homeowner is deceased without heirs how do one become legal owner of the house?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
No. Generally not. There IS a law known as "adverse possession," and if someone grabbed the house, lived there for 15 years and no one challenged ownership, there is a *chance* they could be considered the owner. The problem is, there is almost always an heir, and if there is not, then the State is an heir. So you run a lot of risks in doing this with no certainty that you will end up with anything for the investment.
