The easement is not enforceable because it is not part of the public record.  The only way it would be enforceable is if C can prove that D had "actual knowledge" of the easement.

Go to the City or County Governement offices.  Usually the same as the Courts. Speak with the Clerk and ask to view the Property Tax recoreds for the property in question.  Who ever pays the taxes for that property will be recorded, and generally the owner pays the taxes.  Tax records are public information in the U.S..

Could be an honest error, but it could easily be a fraud.  You need to take copies of the two different maps to a lawyer specializing in real estate and ask questions.

you need to clarify your question.  You sold property... what exactly was the purpose of the property prior to sale?  Was there farming, rental or business use? Was it property belonging to an exempt organization that sold it to a for profit purpose?  Please clarify.

This individual might not know he is supposed get it recorded. She should never have accepted cash but instead a cashiers check but now that she did, her proofs of the sale are the following:\n\n1. He deposit record of the money being put into her bank.\n2. Rent or other proof of receipts showing she lives elsewhere.\n3. Send a certified letter to the house, require a signature. This will show who signed for it and give just a bit more proof he is there instead of her.\n5. Get a neighbor to sign an affidavit that she no longer lives there. An eye witness account.\n6. There is a thing called a deed in lieu. I have a copy if you need it. You send it to him and it requires he put the house in his name. I am not sure but you might be able to get a standard form for it online or at Staples.\n7. Most importantly, the utility bills would show proof of who is living there, at least who is paying.\n\nFirst step is to contact the new owner and tell them they have to put the deed in their name and they need to pay the past due bills. If they refuse, this could be your chance to have them charged with defrauding an elderly person! What they have done could be a crime where you live. So, your second step, if they don't comply, is to either retain a lawyer or go to the cops. \n\nWhat ever happens, your mother in law should be ok because even though there is no receipt, no court in this land would hold her liable.\n\nGood Luck and let me know by following the links to my 360 to send request for the deed in lieu.

you need to contact an attorney, and be sure to record anything

You need a lawyer if you want to make sure it's done right.  I mean, no offense, but it looks like you don't even know how to spell the word "legal".  Real property law is filled with hard and fast rules that must be adhered to, especially when it comes to recording the conveyance document.\n\nBut if you insist on doing it yourself, then look for legal forms for deeds, leases, easements or whatever you need.  You can try office supply stores, copy services or the internet.

If this is a tax foreclosure, by a city government, this would be legal. But when you're invoved in anything of this sort, check with a lawyer or a realtor to make sure all the paperwork is properly done. \nBe a little wary about any foreclosure, as people who are unable to pay taxes are often not able (or unwilling) to do maintenance and repairs, so get someone in to check the place before you purchase. If it is a foreclosure because the owner has died, or there is a dispute between the owners, you may get a really good deal. Sometimes a home that is up for defaulted tax sale is worth it if only for the price of the land. But in any case, get some expert advice from someone who knows the real estate in your area.

Let's take a step back here...\n\nI'm going to assume that you have met the following conditions:\n1. Counter-signed contract by both parties\n2. Cashed escrow check deposited by the seller (or escrow agent/title co, someone)\n3. As buyer, you did not default in any way by breaking any timelines, and are currently or were not in default under the contract terms and conditions, including current closing date.\n\nIf you have met these above conditions, the seller would be in default if they did not sell you the property.  In this case each state has specific remedies... along the lines of this:\n\n1. You'd set a closing date (probably set on the contract)...\n2. Seller does not close, therefore in default\n3. File a Lis Pendens (pending litigation)\n4. Begin a Specific Performance proceeding forcing the seller to close.\n5. If seller looses you are entitled court costs, and potentially damages (loss of locked interest rates) and the such.  The court will appoint a referee to handle the sale if the seller is still uncooperative.\n\nYou will want to hire a REAL ESTATE attorney.  Not attorney Bob down the street; make sure that they are real estate attorneys specifically.  There are many ins and outs.\n\nThe seller has probably had a change of heart because they have received another, higher offer while you were in contract.  In most cases they will back down if they know you are represented.\n\nGood luck...

Ask any realtor.  This information is readily available to them.  The title or deed for the house lists all of the previous owners, what improvements were made (such as when structures on the land were built), and dated records of how much it was sold for.  I believe there is a way to obtain this information from your county's courthouse as well.

no. they come off the value of your house when you go to sell it. meaning less profit for the you to show the irs.

You need a good attorney, it sounds like you have a doozy of a lawsuit.  Plus, the realtor's license can be pulled.\n\nWhen an individual sells a house, they must list all known defects.  If the seller knows the house has problems and they do not tell the buyer about the problems, then they can be sued.

First of all name the Realtor, the realty company, and the owners in the suit.  Let the judge decide who is liable and who isn't.  Talk to the home buyers AFTER THE SALE GOES THROUGH and hope they say that the picture is why they looked at the house.\n\nYou should seek damages for the going rate of commercial use of private pictures.  Then you should seek punitive damages.  Ask for the Realtors full commission on the house, and also an arbitrary sum like 5 Million for the company not ensuring their employee was not breaking the law (to teach them a lesson).\n\nThen you can let them plea bargain you down to the commission plus 500,000.\n\nMake sure you can prove that the sale went through because of your pictures.  That way you can say, "If it wasn't for me, the house would not have sold."

How did you manage to "forget" that you had a HELOC?\n\nIn your Affidavit of Title, you would have had to swear that there were no other outstanding mortgages or liens, etc that were not being paid off with the sale.  You had a duty to inform them of any known items that did not show up in the title search.  \n\nOccasionally documents are filed in the wrong county, etc so they don't show up on the search.  That in no way absolves you from the responsibility of paying.\n\nPay off that HELOC right now and close the account, and make sure the discharge is filed.  It is your only hope of not getting sued for fraud.

I am not sure exactly what's going on here...what i THINK you mean, and what i'll base my answer on is that you paid the seller for a piece of property in 2004 and have been paying taxes on it since then, but you never recieved a bill of sale (receipt) from the seller, and you never recorded the deed.  now someone else is trying to buy the same land from the seller.  you're wondering what to do to stop the sale and assert your rights to the property.\n\nsomeone told you to file a civil suit.  a civil suit, ONLY as it pertains to you, is a lawsuit filed in a court, where a private party has a complaint against another private party, and is asking a judge (and jury depending on your jurisdiction/state) to rule in their favor.  initiating a lawsuit in civil court against somoene is commonly known as "suing."\n\nfirst off, you need to get a lawyer in your state.  some may either take the case pro bono (for free), or on a contingency fee basis (you'll only have to pay them if you win).\n\npreliminarily, what you can expect your lawyer to advise you to do is the following:\n\nfirst, you want to get a preliminary injunction stopping the seller from selling your land.  you'd do this (well, your attorney would) by filing a case in civil court, and telling the court via motion, the well pleaded/clear facts of the case, asserting that you'd be irreprably harmed if the court didn't rule in your favor, and that you have a good chance of success once the case goes to trial.  the judge will probably grant your motion.  \n\nTHEN, you'd file a lis pendens against the property (a lis pendens is filed in the county where the property is), and notifies the public that there is litigation pending against the property.  this puts the public on notice that there's a dispute over the land.\n\nTHEN, at this point, you'd probably already have initiated the pre-trial phase of discovery.  your lawyer will handle this as well.  here, you'll be collecting all of the documents and interviews in support of your case (and against it).  \n\nEVENTUALLY the case would go to trial, either before a jury or a judge.  here, your lawyer will argue for a permanent injunction barring the seller from doing anything to your property, and she'll also possibly argue for damages (money) from the seller for fraudulently selling the property to you and then trying to sell it again. odds are you'll win.  the fact that you've been paying taxes on the property is powerful evidence that you have title to it.  and even though you didn't record the deed, and the seller didn't prepare a bill of sale, he'd probably still be barred from asserting any right to it, just based on the evidence that you've been paying taxes.  if you've made any improvements to the property, that's more evidence in your favor.\n\nin short, you should get a lawyer in your state.  you don't want to wade through the courts on your own.

I think what you are describing is not a "real estate tax" lien (i.e. property tax lien), but rather a state or federal income tax lien.  These liens would attach to any property in your father's name at the time of recording, so if he had already deeded it to you, and the deed was recorded prior to the tax lien, it should not be attached to A.  \n\nRealtors are generally pretty stupid.  Ask the realtor to order a preliminary title report from a title company and it will show whether or not the lien is attached to A.  If you need a Realtor who's head is not up his bum, please let me know.
