Ky law - oral contract and forced sale of land
Sister wanted to buy farm. She had no money so I bought it and she said she would pay me for it later. Instead of paying me one brown penny or setting up some kind of payments, she buys new double wide mobile home and puts on it. Builds garage and back porch. She owns a double wide home and lot in adjoining county that is paid for but never brought her home that was paid for and would not sell it because she couldn't get $100,000.00 for it and lot. (I seriously do not think it is worth that much). Then she wants to buy only the level land the home is setting on. I refused to sell that because the rest of the farm is hillside. I think my $45,000.00 investment in the farm would be destroyed if it was divided. The only entrance to the hillside would be to go through her yard!
She gets mad and moves back to her other residence that is paid for. She sues me. She wants me to buy the mobile home and improvements for $97,000.00 because she says it would destroy the home to move it. I offered her $25,000.00 for the improvements but she said no. Now listen to the judges' decision: He has ordered the sale of the mobile and 2 acres of my land surrounding it! My lawyer told him I don't want to sell my land and the judge said " He can buy it back." My lawyer says "Why should he buy it back, he already owns it! Help!! Losing my land and my mind!! |

And what is your question?
You let her put the double-wide on your property (which appears to be your main mistake) and now it cannot be moved without destroying it. So the judge has ordered a partition of your land in order to reimburse her for her investment. Did you sue whoever installed the double-wide for doing so without your permission, and also for installing it so that it could not be moved? Does your lawyer believe there are grounds for appeal? |

So it is a bad ruling, and you appeal. A mobile home should have title, not deed, and should not be connected to property on deed.
So you put it up for sale, but don't let it sale unless you get your full asking price, She will either have to make payments on the home, while it is up for sale, or the mobile home company will repo it. If they repo it, and take it out of her name, then it should void the courts ruling, since she no longer owns the home Is she gong to make payments on that double wide, while it may be take years to ever sell if it does sell. |
