Hello, I'm wondering if you can help with a problem we're having. We sold our house last year, and now 11 months later, we've received a letter in the mail stating that we owe $25,000 because of a building code violation on the property. The letter was from a title insurance company... View More

The answer is "it depends." It depends on the terms of your contract. Also, some title insurers slip in a form for seller signature that reads "you are inducing us to sell a policy of title insurance to the buyers..."
We never let our clients sign this. It creates a duty... View More

Not without your permanent agreement. But he can try to terminate the easement or file a declaratory judgment action on it. Having an easement in your chain of title is worthless as it must be in the servient estate's title.

Initially, you and the other owners should sit down and organize your thoughts. I would think contacting the county (or other governing body) with your complaint would be next. Then you should be able to determine what remedies are available. I doubt any attorney is going to advise you to... View More

Hire an OK attorney to search the title and determine ownership. Without a deed a non heir does not take, and your oral gift violates the Statute of Frauds. So you might make a deal with his heirs. See if taxes are delinquent also, as a tax sale might be available.

There is likely no way to legally enforce a verbal promise to hand over real property in these circumstances. The decedent should have made a Will or recorded a Transfer on Death Deed. At this point, you will have to contact his heirs and ask them to deed the property to you, and they are under... View More

Your question is not clear as to what you are asking, so I am going to guess that you are asking if someone can devise (gift) real estate under a Will, when part of the real estate was subdivided with several parcels being conveyed out during the decedent' lifetime. The Will can effectively... View More

If the testator did not own the property deeded to you earlier, then it is not part of the testate estate and cannot be devised.

If Mom and Dad only have life estates, then none of their issue will get anything at their deaths. Hire a GA attorney to search that title and determine ownership. If you stated the facts correctly, then nobody wants to build on the tract. Who is the remainderman?
