Restraining him won't resolve the lien. Meet with an attorney to discuss the actual situation and allow the attorney to ask questions. Only in this way will you find a way through your problems.
"Heir" is deceased. Family decided widow is not a legal heir, so descended to children. Family insists property MUST be held jointly, giving control to one child, avoiding any input from other heir.

First of all, the exact language in the will controls. Usually, just one sentence from the will is not sufficient to interpret the will. That said, the spouse is an heir, and is the primary heir. Assuming multiple children exist as heirs, they all stand on equal footing and the property should be... View More

I cannot think of a reason why it would be illegal. You would not want to trespass of course.
I am asking this because other than an alley, I don't recall ever seeing it.

Obviously we cannot provide a reliable response here. In order to know enough to be sure, land deeds and surveys will need to be reviewed. Easement law also needs to be mentioned. I am unaware of a law that would prevent this under your given facts. You should meet with an attorney with... View More

Listen carefully. This is tricky stuff. Meet with and attorney who practices real property (real estate) law. Mention the term "partitioning." Please do not do this without legal counsel. Make an error here and it might not be fixable.
My property has become a flood plain due to "neighbors" above me paving parking lots and diverting and increasing the water flow onto my property causing damage to my property and causing it and other properties below mine to flood during heavy rains.

There is nothing illegal about the remaindermen being insured for property loss. But you will have to carefully find a willing insurance company that will inure a dwelling in which there is an occupany that is not the insured. When you get the policy, read it.
A landlord gave me written permission to leave my lease early. After I told her the date that I wanted to leave she said I would only have to pay rent if a new tenant did not move in. The landlord successfully found a new person to move in and they did so two days after I moved out. The landlord... View More

The answer should be contained in the language of the lease itself. Look to the lease. It will be interpreted literally.

Your second paragraph is answered "It depends." The devil is in the wording of the documents.
The first paragraph does not ask a question.
If your question is only one question involving both paragraphs, again the answer would be "It depends."
HOA documents are dated. The Developer turned this community over to the HOA in 2005. the documents say that a home must be completed in 12 months or less.

You should hustle now and sit down with an attorney who litigate real property (land) issues. You will not get a quick answer. First, the attorney is going to have to scour the county deed/land records before he/she will even know what is and isn't allowed. Don't wait. Run quickly to... View More

The land is called "real" property. Anything on it that is not attached or 'connected' to the real property is called 'personal' property. Because the sculpture was not 'connected' to the land it was personal property that the owner (sculptor) could remove.... View More
