To prove equitable interest, one must demonstrate that they have a beneficial interest in property, typically through evidence such as a written agreement, a trust declaration, or actions that imply ownership rights, like contributions to the property’s purchase or maintenance. Additionally, showing reliance on a promise or conduct of the legal owner that led to a detriment can strengthen the claim. Courts may also consider factors like the intentions of the parties involved and any relevant equitable doctrines, such as estoppel.

Equitable interest and legal interest?

Legal interest - n.(in land law) A right in or over land. It may comprise equitable ownership of the land (such as the interest of the tenant for life under a settlement), where the legal estate is owned by trustees; or the benefit of some other right over the land of another, such as an easement or rentcharge. Interests of the latter type can be legal or equitable, but under the Law of Property Act 1925 only interests owned on terms equivalent to a fee simple absolute in possession or a term of years absolute qualify as legal interests. A person interested in land is one who has rights in it. See also equitable interests.equitable interests - Interests in property originally recognized by the Court of Chancery, as distinct from legal interests recognized in the common-law courts. They arose in cases when it was against the principles of equity for a person to enforce a legal right. Originally equitable rights (e.g. a trust, or the equity of redemption under a mortgage) were enforceable against the person with a legal right over property in question. Later, however, those who were given the property by the holder of the legal interests took it subject to equitable interests; later still, anyone who bought property knowing of the equitable interests was bound by them. In the developed law, everyone took property subject to equitable interests except those who bought it and neither knew nor ought to have known of the equitable interests (the doctrine of notice). Since 1925, equitable interests may be protected by the doctrine of overreaching, under the system of land charges, or by notice.equitable interest An interest in, or ownership of, property that is recognized by equity but not by the common law. A beneficiary under a trust has an equitable interest. Any disposal of an equitable interest (e.g. a sale) must be in writing. Some equitable interests in land must be registered or they will be lost


How is a land held on trust for someone who has equitable interest?

When land is held on trust for someone with an equitable interest, the legal title of the property is held by the trustee, while the beneficiary possesses the equitable interest. This means that the trustee has the responsibility to manage the property according to the terms of the trust and for the benefit of the beneficiary. The beneficiary can enforce their rights regarding the property, including receiving profits generated from it or forcing a sale if necessary. This arrangement ensures that the beneficiary's interests are protected, even though they do not hold the legal title.


What does a affidavit of equitable interest entitle you to?

An affidavit of equitable interest is a legal document that asserts a person's claim to an interest in a property, despite not being the legal owner. It typically entitles the affiant to rights such as the ability to enforce contractual agreements related to the property, potentially receive profits or proceeds from its sale, and protect their interest in the event of disputes or foreclosure. This affidavit serves to notify third parties of the affiant's claim and can help safeguard their investment in the property.


Your son is going to take over paying your mortgage Can he deduct the interest on his taxes Does his name have to be on the loan the title both or neither?

Again - he can't just pay a mortgage on anyones house and claim the deduction...it has to be his residence. Then if he is paying it, on the title or not, there are court cases saying that basically he paid the interest to you and you paid the mortgage. But again...you better be able to prove it is his home.An interest deduction is generally not allowed if the taxpayer's liability is not primary and direct.. There is an exception to this general rule that allows a taxpayer to deduct interest he pays on a mortgage if he is the legal or equitable owner of the property, even though he is not directly or personally liable on the bond or note secured by the mortgage. The effect of this exception is to permit the deduction of interest in situations when the taxpayer-borrower is not personally liable on a mortgage of property that is used as security for a loan made to the taxpayer. The Tenth Circuit has stated that the concept of equitable title to realty for this purpose is generally limited to two situations: when legal title to property is held by a trustee, in which case equitable title is said to be in the beneficiary; and when real estate has been sold under a contract for deed with legal title retained by the seller until the purchase price is totally paid, in which case its purchaser is said to be the equitable owner during the payoff period.

If a Cosigner pays all of the the Home Equity Loan monthly payments does the Primary Signatory then get to claim the tax deduction on the interest paid or does the Cosignatory get such tax deduction?

You cannot claim a deduction for something you did not pay. If the primary signatory did not pay the interest, then this person does not get to deduct it. In order to claim a non-business/non-investment deduction for interest, the person claiming the deduction must (among other things) be the legal or equitable owner of the property. Usually, the cosignor is not the legal or equitable owner of the property, hence the cosignor cannot claim an interest deduction.

To deduct mortgage interest do you need to be on the loan or the title?

Certainly on the loan, for property you occupy. An interest deduction is generally not allowed if the taxpayer's liability is not primary and direct..

What the different between equitable fee simple and legal fee simple?

Fee simple usually means you have a deed reciting full ownership of the appurtenant rights in the property. Equitable title means you only have a contract right to sue for specific performance (in equity) to obtain the property deed. In other words, fee simple is the deed, and equitable title is the right to obtain the deed in court.Other Perspectives:If the town takes your property for failure to pay your property taxes you have an equitable interest until your rights of redemption have been barred by a court decree. If you pay your delinquent taxes before a decree is entered your fee ownership will be restored.Suppose your mother died owning a home and you are her only heir. She left the property to you by her will. Until her will is probated you only have an equitable interest in the property and not a fee simple interest. In order for you to acquire legal title, a fee simple, her estate must be probated.
