You don't want to perform a certain 'collection activity' if it will violate the Bankruptcy statute.

I just learned in Texas the statute of limitations is 4 years on nonjudgment and 10 years on the judgment.

My recommendation is to read the landlord tenant guide booklet for the state statute regarding this and get into compliance.

If you file suit, look for a Statute or Procedural rule allowing for an expedited action; if you have suit filed against you, make the case complex for them and with potential negative consequences such as highly $$ counter-claims.In Texas, Rule 169 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure which provides for a trial within 9 months or sooner.

All of the answers will be located in the county rules and regulations and in the statutes for the District Of Columbia.

@Joe CoxI can't remember the specific source, but the following states have the most LL friendly statutes (in order of rank):1.

Also, if you dont have an detailed article of incorporation, the state law takes over so most you will be entitled to basic asset protection.For SMLLC, you really dont need an operating agreement that over-rights the state statutes, so as of right now you should be fine with just registering for LLC and filling out the online article of incorporation.  

Anything not specifically mentioned is usually analyzed by the IRS to see if current statutes/rules apply (step transactions, pledge rule, economic substance, etc.).

One thing you learn from reading/researching years and years of statutes and case law is that: "It Depends". 

If they don't take legal action to protect their interest, then after just 3 years (in Texas), section 16.024 of the Texas Statute of Adverse Possession grants you a defense to any future claims by the remaining siblings and the right to clear title in your name.
