A boundary dispute usually only arises where the adjoining owners CANNOT find the common boundaries that match their respective surveys. Otherwise, there is no material dispute. Furthermore, some jurisdictions have strict requirements for settlement of such a dispute, such as setting out the dispute, referencing the deeds and other sources of boundaries, and setting forth the agreed boundaries, with reference to a new certified survey, and recording a jointly signed document in the registry of deeds.

there are a couple ways you can approach this...firstly, speak with the title company that insured you as a purchaser and voice your concerns to the legal dept there (someone called a title officer or underwriter, or counsel)...they insured you as to your complete ownership of the land, and if the description of the land is not correct, they would be subject to a monetary claim from you, so they should seek to clear the issue. the other way to get some action might be to speak with the association of which they are probably a member. on the web, search for (whatever state you're in + surveyor + association). most states have a regulatory association to which surveyors belong- and you can file a grievance with them or ask them to intercede on your behalf to get the correction done. Do call the title company and present whatever evidence you may have. you will find the title company is generally more than willing to listen and help. I've been in the title business for more than 35 years, and most people i run into are willing to lend a hand and clear title problems

If you can prove that the surveyor made an error and will not fix the issue, and if your state does not have a statute of limitations on liability, you can file a complaint with the state board that oversees the licensee. However, if you are saying there is an error because the survey does not match record description, it is possible that the surveyor did nothing wrong.

In Colorado, the spouse who received the property through a quitclaim deed can generally sell the property without the other spouse's permission if they hold the title solely in their name. However, it's important to review the specific circumstances of the quitclaim deed and consult with a legal professional to fully understand the rights and obligations related to the property.

While I am not a Florida attorney, the general rule is that including property in a Revocable Living Trust does not change the ownership for purposes of a homestead exemption. Because such a trust is revocable at any time, it is still considered your property and therefore still qualifies for a homestead exemption.

If his name "is still on the deed" then he has an interest in the property. If he is the only person on the deed then he is the sole owner of the property. If there was a partnership and a tenancy in partnership was created between him and your husband on the deed then the former partner may own the property. You need to provide more details. If they owned as tenants in common then the former partner owns half and when you probate your husband's estate then his heirs at law will own half.

Title abstractors research historical documents to trace the ownership of a property back to its origin. They provide a summary of the property's legal history, including any liens, encumbrances, or restrictions that may affect its ownership. This information is crucial for real estate transactions to ensure a clear title transfer.

Generally, yes. There is usually a clause within the subdivision covenant that addresses that situation.

The cost of obtaining a lien depends largely on the type of propery, the type of debt, whether you obtained a security agreement and whether the law grants you any special status to file a lien without going to court like a mechanic's lien. If you are a secured lender, you already have a lien. If you have special status like a contractor, you may be able to record a lien for a small fee or assert a lien by keeping property already in your possession. If you are unsecured, you may need to file a lawsuit and get a judgment lien after you win the case. The actual cost could range from a few dollars to hundreds or thousands of dollars if you have to sue in court first.

There is no stigma for modular homes that I know of,but a lot of people are miss informed about modular construction. Most people are confusing mobile homes with modular homes and there is a stigma about mobile homes and mobile home parks. Another confusing part is the term that is used to describe mobile homes. The term "Manufactured Housing" has been adapted by the mobile home industry to alleviate the stigma of mobile homes. Of course uninformed people bundle modular homes in this mix since modular homes are constructed in a manufacturing facility and are transported, but that is where the similarity if any ends.

Yes, it is possible for a child to be named as the trustee of an irrevocable trust, although it may not be recommended in all situations.

Some beach property owners might oppose the building of jetties because they can alter natural coastal processes and disrupt the natural movement of sand along the beach. This can lead to accelerated erosion in some areas and increased deposition in others, potentially affecting the overall health and stability of the beach. Additionally, jetties can alter wave patterns and currents, which can impact the recreational value and aesthetic appeal of the beach.

Of course. The transfer of real property will add assets to his profile and may cause a change in his benefits. It also may eventually result in a medical assistance lien on the property to pay back benefits. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in special needs trusts before making this transfer.

The right of survivorship literally means that a will is not required. That is, between two people (A and B, for example) who are co-tenants with right of survivorship to a piece of property, the one of A and B who is alive after the other's death will own the property in full. So if A dies first, B will own the property outright, and if B dies first, A will own the property outright. So in any case, right of survivorship by its very existence means that a will is not required regarding that particular item of property only.

No, a married couple cannot quitclaim property to one another, as they both have an existing legal interest in the property as spouses. However, they can transfer their interest in the property to a third party through a quitclaim deed. Alternatively, they may consider other types of property transfers, such as a warranty deed or a marital property agreement. Consulting with a lawyer is advisable for guidance in specific cases.

A Certificate of Title can also refer to the document that evidences land ownership in a registered land system.
