Who owns the river running through private land?
Ownership of rivers is a broad legal topic. The different ways by which we speak of rivers can confuse the layperson. In many jurisdictions and in certain situations property owners on both sides of a river each own the fee to the center of the river. Center lines of rivers form the boundaries of cities and states in many areas. The center of the river describes the limits to the property lines. The language used does not mean the abutters "own" the river. They own the land underneath it and their ownership is subject to the rights of the public to the use of the waters of the river. Federal and state laws govern rivers with federal law being the higher authority. "The public does not have a general right to cross private land to get to and from rivers, but such a right exists at traditional access routes . . . (according to) the legal doctrines of custom and prescription." You can study the many legal aspects of river use and public ownership at The National Organization for Rivers website provided below.

Who owns property when there is dictatorship?
Anyone can own property; a dictatorship which is a subset of an Autocracy, does not define ownership as a part of its base principle. It simply establishes that there is one, unquestionable ruler, over the government.
Another PerspectiveThat depends on whether private ownership of land is permitted in the particular country. Land ownership in countries ruled by dictators is often clouded. Privately owned land is often expropriated by dictators. An example would be the Castro regime in Cuba where private lands were seized and formerly wealthy Cuban landowners fled to other countries. In China, the state took control of all the land during the Communist takeover in 1949. Communist Party officials have controlled land usage rights since then and private ownership is only now becoming possible with developers being the favored grantees.
Is it legal to form a tenancy by entirety to avoid a lien being placed on your property in Missouri?
This can be a complicated situation and a change in ownership of property or tenancy can be undone by a court if it was done to avoid a known creditor.
A Tenancy by the Entirety (TBE) is a form of property ownership in Missouri and some other states reserved for married couples. Property owned as tenants by the entirety belongs to the marriage, which means that both spouses own the property as one person, and thus, both of them own 100% interest in the property. A creditors lien against one of the spouses cannot force the sale of the real estate. However, a lien against both is effective and that creditor can force the sale to satisfy the lien.
If you do not hold your real estate as TBE and you have notice of a lien, then you convert the tenancy to a TBE, the lien will likely take priority. Real property owned by married couples should be held as TBE where that exemption is available in order to protect the property from creditors of one spouse.
That would mean a property owner who acquired their interest in the property by virtue of a deed.
Does a spouse have rights to property while in jail if her husband's name is on the deed?
It depends heavily on individual state laws. Typically what happens in the event of lengthy incarcerations is divorce. Because most correctional facilities will not writ out inmates for civil proceedings, these divorces are uncontested and default judgments are entered for the non-incarcerated spouse, thereby granting full property rights.
If you are both on the title as joint owners each owns an interest in the real estate and each has the full rights that property ownership bestows on any property owner in your state. If only the husband's name is on the deed and he is in jail, that factor in itself does not bestow any property rights on you. If only your husband's name is on the deed and you are in jail, title would depend on whether you live in a community property state and the property was a acquired during the marriage. Community property rights would not be affected by incarceration.

Does the right to survivorship Apply in the state of Mississippi?
Yes, all 50 states, in some form or another, have joint tenancy with right of survivorship in their property laws.
Most property can be owned by a joint tenancy in Mississippi. When one owner dies their interest disappears and the property immediately becomes the sole property of the surviving owner. The tenancy must be specifically created as joint tenants with the right of survivorship.
In Connecticut if the easement width is undefined is the width considered to be fifty feet?
No. That assumption cannot be made.
Ancient easements are often undefined as to width. Many were created simply by granting the right to use the "cart path", the "lane" or the "wood road" as it existed at that time of the original grant. A cart did not require a 50 foot wide road and dwellings were often placed quite close to the old dirt roads.
Generally, surveyors have no trouble defining the existence and proportions of that type of an easement by evidence on the ground and language in deed descriptions. Title research into deed descriptions is necessary to disclose the original language in the grant and any amendments made later. Modern developers sometimes seek to bump out the boundaries in order to provide access for the creation of building lots or for access by heavy equipment. They are not always successful.
Easements are an extremely complicated topic and require research by a professional. You should seek a consultation with an attorney who specializes in land law in your jurisdictions.
What deed is a voluntary deed?
Any deed executed by a legally competent owner by their own free will is a voluntary deed.
Mortgage loans are contractual obligations that cannot be terminated by agreement, divorce or any other means. Your only option for getting off the mortgage is for the remaining spouse to refinance in their name only. I've even had clients who had their names removed from the mortgage companies records, IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. That made it difficult to verify the mortgage. But, never at any time, was the borrower relieved of liability. The contract is never changed, or superceeded. If a mortgage loan has been granted to any two people; the lender has made a loan for a substantial amount of money that they want repaid. You can bet that they are not going to simply release a borrower from the liability because the two people go separate ways.
If you have a house before you were married in nys does it get split in a divorce?
