An estoppel is a preclusion, in law, which prevents a man from alleging or denying a fact, in consequence of his own previous act, allegation or denial of a contrary tenor.
That is, a person may not legally argue against his own words or acts.
It is a bar or impediment (obstruction) which precludes a person from asserting a fact or a right, or prevents one from denying a fact. Such a hindrance is due to a person's actions, conduct, statements, admissions, failure to act, or judgment against the person in an identical legal case. Estoppel includes being barred by false representation or concealment (equitable estoppel), failure to take legal action until the other party is prejudiced by the delay (estoppel by laches), and a court ruling against the party on the same matter in a different case (collateral estoppel).
Promissory estoppel arises when a person makes a promise not to insist on, or enforce, his legal rights against another (or his clear and unequivocal representation lead another to believe that those rights will not be insisted on) and, on the strength of that promise or representation the other party clearly, and reasonably, alters his legal position or takes a particular course of action based on the promise or representation. The first person may be "estopped" (prevented) from acting contrary to the initial promise or contract.
A rule of evidence which precludes a person from denying the truth of some statement made by him of the existence of facts whether existing or not which he has by words or conduct led another to believe in.If a person by representation induces another to change his position on the faith of it,he cannot afterwards deny the truth of his representation.
Collateral estoppel is the legal doctrine that holds that the finding of the facts litigated between the parties to a proceeding, are binding and conclusive on those parties in any future litigation they may engage in.
Here is a basic definition of "estoppel." Estoppel is a legal doctrine that prevents a person from adopting a position, action, or attitude, asserting a fact or a right, or prevents one from denying a fact inconsistent with an earlier position if it would result in an injury to someone else. There are three types of estoppel and the question is not really specific enough to render a more exact answer.
No. An HOA is required to provide an estoppel letter upon request. It can charge a fee.
It is always unenforceable; however, estoppel can be used as a "shield" to make it enforceable.

Also known as issue preclusion, collateral estoppel is a doctrine that prevents a person from re-litigating an issue once it has been ruled on. Collateral estoppel originated in civil law, but has been applied to federal criminal law.

Detrimental reliance (promissory estoppel), 181, 188 Cheeseman (2010) stated, "EQUITY: PROMISSORY ESTOPPEL The doctrine of promissory estoppel, or equitable estoppel, is another equitable exception to the strict application of the Statute of Frauds. The version of promissory estoppel in the Restatement (Second) of Contracts provides that if parties enter into an oral contract that should be in writing under the Statute of Frauds, the oral promise is enforceable against the promisor if three conditions are met: (1) The promise induces action or forbearance of action by another, (2) the reliance on the oral promise was foreseeable, and (3) injustice can be avoided only by enforcing the oral promise.Where this doctrine applies, the promisor is estopped ( prevented ) from raising the Statute of Frauds as a defense to the enforcement of the oral contract." (p.226)
I am pretty sure that is an assignment question, and you are very lazy. Go research it yourself.
Yeah it's estoppel, whether it be collateral estoppel or any other estoppel, it is estoppel, although estoppel and double jeopardy are synonymous. In civil matter, it's called "res judicata". That's civil double jeopardy. A case dismissed with prejudice or found that the defendant is liable will result in res judicata.
The estoppel certificate is typically signed by the party who is providing the certificate. For example, if a tenant is providing the estoppel certificate to a landlord, the tenant would sign the certificate.

Here is an excerpt from a previous Answers.com topic regarding estoppel. I take no credit for this definition, but believe it will accurately address your inquiry.A doctrine of law that stops one from later denying facts which that person once acknowledged were true and others accepted on Good Faith.Example: Abel signs a certificate acknowledging that he owes $10,000 on a Mortgage as of a certain date. Later he contends that he owed only $5,000. Abel is prevented from asserting this new contention under estoppel.
