however, the legal description on the last 3 warranty deeds contains no mention of the easement. I would like for it to be included in the legal description when I purchase. May I insist it be included to the title agent?
Sure, you can insist. But in any event the easement is appurtenant to the property you are buying so You will own the easement.
A new library was built in a new location to replace the old one. Just curious to see what could happen to the old library since it has a reverter clause.
You ask if it would be void "based on this law", without saying which law you are referring to. Did you leave something out, or did you mean to ask if there is any law that would void it out? I suggest you re-phrase.
The will never went through probate and my grandmother has lived in the property openly and unchallenged by her two surviving siblings for over 10 years. She has paid the property taxes each year herself. Is the property legally hers? If so, how do we make it official and if not, what can we do to... Read more »
Your grandmother needs to hire a real estate/probate attorney to resolve this issue. It is not something that can be resolved with general advice on the internet and the attorney would have to review the last deed and the will.
There is no will, the deeds to the house/property has forged signatures but there are two "executors". I guess they were in charge dispersing the assets/money evenly between me and my siblings.
In Florida, what is called an executor elsewhere is called a "personal representative". If the PRs submitted a petition in court to "probate" your father's estate, you would file a motion in that court. You would need an attorney.
Probably not if the property is Homestead Property. A surviving spouse has rights to a Homestead Property unless a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is signed. As a general rule, a parent is able to leave their assets including a home to whomever they wish as long as there is no surviving spouse... Read more »

I purchased a condo in VA two years ago when I was single. Last year I got married. We are thinking about moving to FL. The plan is to sell my condo and buy a similar property in FL.

IMO, you should have learned better before this happened. So learn it now: Seeking attention in the manner you have recently done sets off many alarms in many places you have never heard of.

I have a 30 day notice and I have more than half the amount needed to settle but my complex will not agree to a payment plan.
It's not clear what you are asking about, but no: both parties have to agree to all the terms in any stipulation.
I no longer want to be legally responsible for mobile home park (HOA) fees and property taxes.
Thank you.
It would take a few years for the county to issue a tax deed certificate and auction the property off. The HOA is likely not going to go away so easy. Walking away from the property is not going to relieve you of liability and it just depends on how aggressive the HOA is in going after the debt.... Read more »

Two other owners and myself have sent several certified letters requesting financial records but they wont pick the letters up because they know what they are and don't want to give us the records.
You could report them to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) at myfloridalicense.com, but with the pandemic the response time might be slower than usual. The other option is to send them by courier or hire a process server. Typically, unless you have a discounted service... Read more »
There is no easement in place for it on my survey at all since it's brand-new, nor was there one for the previous owner of his home even if it wasn't new. According to our survey, it's 100% no doubt about it on our property. We have been nothing but nice and willing to work with him,... Read more »

The county can auction off the property for unpaid taxes in a tax deed sale. Your bigger concern is if there are any code enforcement violations which have generated fines. If Code Enforcement issues fines it can record liens which attach to any property you own. You also have liability if... Read more »

It looks like a mutual mistake. Yes, they are probably entitled to the refund.
Bought during marriage, registered in both names, both names as “buyers” on deed. Bought with funds one party had before marriage, but from joint checking account. House in Puerto Rico.
If the separate funds were deposited into a joint account, the funds have been commingled or mixed and became marital before the purchase even happened.
The courts normally do not look any further than title on real property. So if title is in both spouses' names, it will be... Read more »

Moved what is my legal right to remove the barn.
Barns are usually considered a part of the real property, and so you would not have the right to remove it. But perhaps you could recover the amount by which the barn improved the value of the real property.
