How do you find public tax records?
You can find them online, but what type of public records are you looking for?
Public records are commonly used to find information about people (as in a people search), learn more about someone's past (as in a background check), get specific data about a company or business professional, obtain various records (birth, death, marriage, divorce, etc.) and to see the value and related information for any piece of property.
Depending on the type of public records you want to find, you can try a Google search. Enter the search terms (for example, if you want to find a person you can enter "people search" or "people finders", if you want information about a piece of real estate you could enter "property records", etc.) and you should be able to find what you need.
How can a bar or restaurant be considered public property?
No. It is a business, thus, has an owner.
It really depends on what type of public place you mean. If you just mean "out in public," then yes, it is public and not a private residence. However, if you mean public as in government owned area that people can go to freely and which is patrolled by police, etc, then no. It is a private establishment and the owner gets to set the hours when it is open, etc.
To answer your question you would need to examine the layout for the particular road in question. There is no set width for roads and it is not unusual to find variable widths along the entire road layout. You could inquire at your local land records office to see where state road layouts are filed. Perhaps they could help you find the layout for the road in question. In Massachusetts they are filed by county. What you have asked would be a research project for a professional title examiner or a surveyor.

Who is responsiblefor the lien when a house gets sold the buyer or the seller?
The lien is on the house. That's one of the reasons it goes through escrow, to find out if there are any outstanding liens on it. If there are outstanding liens on the house that are discovered in escrow, the buyer can make the seller pay the liens or stop the sale of the house, but if they are not found, the lien still exists and the buyer has to pay them after the house is in their name. Escrow is a good thing although it is time consuming and costly.
How can you stop repossession?
Most automobile financing agreements allow a creditor to repossess your car any time you're in default. No notice is required. If your car is repossessed, you may have to pay the full balance due on the loan, as well as towing and storage costs, to get it back. If you can't do this, the creditor may sell the car.
If you see default approaching, you may be better off selling the car yourself and paying off the debt: You would avoid the added costs of repossession and a negative entry on your credit report.
3 ways to AVOID repossession
- 1. pay the notes
- 2. find someone else to pay the notes
- 3. slip the car aboard the space shuttle bound for MARS
As a repossession specalist, I can say that paying the bill is the best way to avoid repossession. If that is not possible, talk to the bank or lender. Believe it or not, they do not want your car, they want the money and will be more than willing to deal with you. They generally loose money on a repossession. 90% of the time that I receive a repossession request, the debtor is more than 65 days behind (average is 3 months)and is avoiding calls from the lender.
In regards to hiding the vehicle or other technique, if the agent is worth his or her salt this will only delay not prevent repossession and may end up costing the debtor more. Once a repo is made and the vehicle is auctioned, any remaining balance is charged to the debtor. This includes the cost of the repossession. The more it cost me to do the job, the more it costs the bank and that cost is passed on to the debtor.
There is usually no need to file a suit. You just notify your insurer of your loss. That's what you bought insurance for. If they determine the neighbor is liable for your damages, the insurer will subrogate from the neighbor.
If your insurer refuses to pay for your loss and you are convinced your neighbor is liable for the fire and resulting damages, then you might consider a suit.
Bear in mind that just because the fire started on your neighbors side, doesn't necessarily mean that they started the fire themselves or are financially liable for it.
I would also recommend to contact your insurance company ASAP.

Does the wife inherit all if the husband dies in Texas without a will?
If there is no will, the property will be distributed per the state's intestacy laws. In Texas, the property is given to the surviving spouse under the community property laws.

If a contract has been signed and a deposit paid can the buyer back out of the deal?
Certainly. The buyer can ask to be released from the sale by the seller and they can mutually agree to void the contract (sometimes with a token payment).
If not mutual, then the buyer's only chance to back out is if there are conditions of the contract that are not met before the closing.
For example, a contingency clause could be used to reserve the right of the buyer to back out if financing cannot be obtained, or if an inspection produces adverse results, or the seller does not meet some other specific condition.
Also, the buyer can refuse to accept a defective title, such as where it has been discovered that the land is encumbered with liens, lawsuits, hazardous waste assessments, squatters, forged or missing documents in the chain of title, or the like, which cannot (or will not) be removed prior to the closing.
Absent agreement or a legal excuse, a buyer who backs out could have to pay damages to the seller, as determined by a court.

What is the difference between sale agreement and agreement to sell?
A "sale" is (colloquially) a completed transaction where the only remaining duties of the buyer may be timely rejection after inspection, and the only remaining duty of seller is to honor any express or implied warranty. This assumes the full price was paid during the sale and the goods were delivered, otherwise, the sale is not technically complete.
An "agreement to sell" is a contract that envisions (or defines) a future sale, thus all conditions precedent and other terms (delivery, payment, etc), continue to be "executory", that is, are yet to be fully carried out. A breach of this contract could result in a court order of specific performance, or for damages caused by the loss of the opportunity to buy or sell.
- DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SALE AND AGREEMENT TO SELL
- Transfer of property (ownership): - In a 'sale' the property in goods passes to the buyer immediately at the time of making the contract In 'an agreement to sell' there is no transfer of property to the buyer at the time of the contract.
- Risk of loss. The general rule is that unless otherwise agreed, the risk of loss primarily passes with property (Sec. 26). Thus in case of sale, if the goods are destroyed the loss falls on the buyer even though the goods may never have come into his possession because the property in the goods has already passed to the buyer. On the other hand, in case of an agreement to sell where the ownership in the goods is yet to pass from the seller to the buyer, such loss has to be borne by the seller even though the goods are in the possession of the buyer.
