Q: Payment agreement for community/lake maintenance 'allegedly' present on original deed ~1950s no longer present.
Limitations on deed agreements no present on current deed. No present HOA or similar contract. No inclusion of payment agreement on current issued deed.
A: Unless the obligation was deleted by a recorded instrument, the rights to collect belongs to the successors in title.
Peter J. Weinman agrees with this answer
A: Why "allegedly?" Are you the grantee on the "current" deed? As attorney Greb has pointed out, obligations/restrictions like this are said to "run with the land" and continue to burden successors in interest. The only way this could come as a surprise is if you were unrepresented by an attorney and you did not purchase title insurance.. or else you purchased title insurance but had no attorney interpreting the report.
