Deeds and Ownership

You get written permission from the adjourning property to install your fence and attached to theirs.

If you are making payments he can't take it. Otherwise, he just goes to court and gets a lawsuit against you for the money you owe. If you don't appear in court, he wins. He can then take your boat.

No you can not. The best you can do is take him off the deed by having him sign a quick claim deed. You will need to qualify for a refinance to get him off the loan.

A trust is established by a Declaration of Trust. The trustee is the person appointed to hold title to and manage the trust property. The declaration contains all the powers of the trustee and the provisions of the trust. You must review it to determine if and how the trustee can be terminated and a new trustee appointed.

If you are not on the deed then you don't own the property. If you don't own the property then you should not promise to pay the mortgage. A co-signer on a mortgage and promissory note is completely responsible for paying the mortgage. If the primary mortgagor (who in this case is the owner of the property) defaults on the mortgage the lender will go after the co-signer of the note for payment. A default will ruin your credit. If someone has asked you to sign their note and mortgage then you should require they execute a new deed with you as the co-owner of the property.

Yes. As long as the will was drafted properly according to state laws the court will approve it and the property will pass to the surviving spouse as long as there are no debts that must be paid by selling the real estate. The estate must be probated in order for title to pass to the surviving spouse legally. The property will be subject to any encumbrances that existed prior to your husband's death such as a mortgage.

If the deed is properly drafted- yes.

It is likely that you are liable for any damage if your neighbor has easement rights to maintain a water line. If they have easement rights it is likely they include the right to replace and repair the lines. You should check your deed first. Easement rights may be mentioned. If not, you should contact the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property and ask if the property is subject to any easement rights that are not mentioned in your deed.

Call a title company and find out. It is easy if the deed was in terms of "right of survivorship." Generally, you'll need the death certificate, proof of marriage, and a copy of the deed, which they may be able to provide. Probably the only reason you would need to fix the deed is when and if you sell and it can be sorted out then.

You have to apply to the DMV of your state for one. There is an application that has to be filled out.

Not without the lender's permission. Of course there's nothing to say you couldn't prepare and record a Quit Claim Deed, but if the lender found out about the transfer, he could call the entire loan due and payable in full. Not a good idea.

If by "retirement insurance" you mean a qualified retirement account covered by ERISA, then the retirement account had to provide that the surviving spouse is the beneficiary, unless the surviving spouse consented to a different designation (such as to the daughters). So the claim is not under community property law, but rather federal ERISA law. I'm not sure about California in particular, but in at least one community property state, you might have a claim for fraud against the community if your husband caused community assets to pass to someone other than you. It would be a difficult claim, though, because an exception to the fraud on the community claim is a "natural" disposition of the property. And it is natural for a father to leave assets to his children.

An addendum is a legal document that is attached to a pre-existing legal document. It adds other terms and provisions to the original agreement. An addendum can modify or amend the original agreement. Once signed by the parties it has the same legal effect. In a real estate transaction the original document would be the Purchase and Sale Agreement. An addendum to a P&S Agreement can address issues such as financing, the contingency listing of the buyer's property, payment terms if there is to be seller financing, agreement to maintain the grounds until buyer takes possession, agreement that the seller pay for the homeowner title policy, extension of closing date, homeowner's insurance, etc.

Have a surveyor do a stake survey to show the property lines. It will cost a few hundred dollars in the city, or up to a few thousand dollars for a rural property. The surveyor must usually find the deeds that reference and define your property and those of your neighbors and make a determination of where your property lines are. Depending upon how your property is defined, your lines may be very difficult to locate exactly, if not impossible (e.g., "from the large birch tree to the pile of stones", neither of which can be found 50 years later). When neither you nor your neighbors can find the lines, you can establish a "new" line by agreement and record that with the deeds for future reference.

When attempting to locate lines for a new fence, some jurisdictions require consultation with the official "fence viewer" who will help establish the line, if there is a dispute.

That may require a payment of taxes. The form of the life estate will also affect the tax situation.

There is always the possibility that a person injured in a car accident will go after the other driver's property if the other driver is found to be at fault and doesn't have enough coverage. As an owner of the car and insurance coverage, your property may be reachable.

If homestead protection is available to homeowners in your state you should record a Declaration of Homestead in the land records immediately. A homestead exemption can protect your property from seizure by creditors. You should consult with an attorney ASAP who can review the situation and advise if you are exposed to liability since the car is registered and insured in your name. She/he could also advise you if you have protection under your state's homestead laws.

After a life estate has been extinguished the fee owners, sometimes called remainders, have the right to the use and possession of the property.

You need to check the Homeowners' Association Rules and Regulations for any provision that would allow such an action. If that privilege was not reserved in the association documents, and the owner didn't grant that right in any other signed document then the answer would be NO.

Just above the line that should either say your name or the word "Grantor"

Removing his name from the title will not accomplish anything. You need to consult with an attorney who can review your situation and negotiate with the IRS for you. You cannot ignore the lien.

The grantor is the person who transfers their interest in the property by deed. The grantee is the person who receives that interest: the new owner.
