Property Law

If you hold personal property of someone else, without payment, it can be called a "bailment" in which you are the bailee and the property owner is a "bailee". You may also be a trustee of a constructive (implied) or actual trust in which you hold property that belongs to someone else. For example, if you find valuable property, you are a constructive trustee of the owner and have a legal obligation to return the property upon demand by the owner. Furthermore, you could hold someone's property "in escrow", pending completion of some event. There are other similar arrangements, depending upon the intent of the owner and the possessor.

you need to read the deed description carefully to determine where the property lines are. A building line is generally not a property line. As for the utility easement area, your property may run up to the easement line or the easement may be on your property. If you do not understand the description in your deed you should contact the attorney who represented you at the time of purchase and ask her to review the deed with you. There may be a survey of your property recorded in the land records. You could also take your deed with you to the town assessor's office where you may be able to obtain a copy of the assessor's map that shows the location and dimensions of your lot.

If the survey was recorded or filed in the land records you can order a copy. If not then you would need to contact the surveyor or the landowner who ordered the survey and ask about obtaining a copy.

If a neighbor wanted to install a fence the fence has to be on the neighbors property entirely. Not half the fence on your side and half on the neighbors side. There are also zoning regulations that deal with issues like this. Some counties will not allow a fence to be over five feet tall and they have to be constructed using only approved materials. I know that in my neighborhood metal fences are against code and they can only be constructed using fence block. If I were you I would call the city planning office and ask them, they will have a definitive answer. Who knows, maybe the fence was put up without the proper permits and your neighbor has to take the entire thing down.

Are you sure you don't mean ALTA survey?

An ALTA survey is simply a type of survey with certain requirements that may be above and beyond the state's minimum requirements.

A reduced level is the vertical distance between a survey point and the adopted level datum. There are two methods for calculating reduced levels, namely the "rise and fall" method and the "height of collimation" method. The latter reduces levels relative to the instrument height. As it has inferior built-in checks, it is unreliable.

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.

I'm not an expert, but my guess would be that if the city wants to put a sidewalk anywhere, you either have no rights or they will find a way to circumvent them. I'm sorry to say that, but it is most likely the truth.

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.

It is in regards to property that the trustee has decided has a minimal value or would be less than the cost of liquidation. Any scheduled property that the trustee does not administer is deemed abandoned when the bankruptcy is closed.

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.
