is it just the Restrictive Covenants that must recorded with the Clerk of Court?
Thank you very much,

You should contact a probate lawyer who practices in or near the city/county your father-in-law passed. Discuss in detail your situation and see what said lawyer advises. It is worth the cost of a consultation to get information. Good luck.

Yes, a naked owner can in general be homeless, however, what I would suggest is the naked owner seek a consult with a lawyer, discuss the current situation and see what, if anything, can be done to perhaps change the circumstances.
I got a ticket where police told me you did not stop when turning right, which I did but at the time did not want to argue with him. When I got the citation from him, I saw he mentioned ran a red light.

The home owners built their home with cash and the home has never had a mortgage. Therefore there has never been a deed recorded on the home. They wish to leave the home and adjacent buildings to a specific grandchild. How do they go about this?

As attorney Tournet mentioned, please reach out to a local succession/estate planning/will lawyer in your area-----this is doubly important... Read more »
