Zoning requirements vary depending on WHERE in the state you are. Your best bet is to contact a local lawyer to provide specific information for the city/township where you are interested in building.

You need a local real estate attorney to review all the facts and provide you advice. That is not something that can be provided in a forum like this.
Seriously — this is FAR more complicated than can be accommodated in a public forum. You need to hire an attorney!
I have a Petition and Order of Assignment but is there a document I can get that is more focused on just stating who the heir is? The small estate was settled 5 years ago and I am the only heir but I don't recall receiving any document besides the PAOA.
answered on Nov 7, 2023
The order part of that should state how the property was to be distributed. Whether or not you're an 'heir' doesn't really matter. Did the order provide you should receive the property? What more are you looking for?

This is a forum for general questions and answers not specific legal advice. If you believe you’re not getting appropriate representation from your attorney then you need to seek a second opinion and get local legal representation.
answered on Aug 15, 2023
You CAN.
You most likely should not, however.
But this is not an appropriate forum to get specific legal advice and you REALLY should hire a local licensed attorney to review all the facts and provide you advice!

Your question isn't clear. Is your uncle still alive? Was there probate when your father died? I assume the land is now partly (completely?) in the name of your Father's estate, and it needs to be distributed and re-titled through the probate process.

That depends on what your attorney put in the offer about failure to complete the sale.

I concur — deeds cover real estate only unless there are SPECIFIC written documents that say otherwise.
You need to have your own attorney contact your brother (and his attorney) right away before the property ‘disappears’.
My brother states he receives not only the physical home and land from my mother but all personal property inside the he as well. One clean swoop. Is this true? The personal items are worth as much as the physical property . Michigan. Warranty deed. Thank you

Mr Soble is right and a DEED has nothing to do with probate.
