If the conveyance to you and your brother is enforceable, then his reserving timber and mineral rights will also be enforceable. That could involve the entire surface of the 120 acres.

i am purchasing a house directly through the owner and I didn't get a loan we just agreed on the payments. he takes half of the payments and puts it towards the interest and I don't understand how or if if it is legal.

Hire a competent attorney to analyze your situation. Either buy it or leave. Do not just lease thinking you are, or will... Read more »

There really isn't enough information here to give you an opinion. You should take the deed and the survey to an experienced real estate attorney.
Current tax maps do not show our property correctly.
Your question is a bit unclear as to who has had the property fenced for 48 years, you or the opposing party.

Notice.After given the 30 day notice the corona virus shut everything down. The govenor suspended eviction notices. My question is did there 30 days start counting when the notice was given or will it start when the suspension is lifted?
The notice to leave the premises is not an eviction proceeding being prosecuted at Court. Once the Courts open up, file your eviction suit immediately.
Owner's Title Insurance Policy, a copy of which I paid for back in 2004, due to them not retaining documents from back in 2004. As I never received the Policy back in 2004, can not the attorney issue me a new one without me paying a second time?
Contact the title underwriter directly and ask them to provide you with a copy of it.
