Not if you have a clause that states when I could sell the property.  If not, where is the property located

If you inherited it by will or because you were on the deed, you can. Otherwise, you can't. If you believe you are entitled to the land for some reason, you will have to bring a "quiet title" action in court.

When you purchase something at a "sheriffs sale" you buy, "as is".\n\nYou are also responsible for ALL the liens and loans on what ever you happen to buy.  Be it a parcel of land, a home or what ever.\n\nBack taxes are your responsibility also.  \n\nSo, its basically a "buyer beware" sort of deal.\n\nIf I were going to buy a parcel of land at a "sheriff's sale" I would go to the County Tax Asssesors, and see what the tax is for that parcel of land.\n\nThen, go to the City's Tax assesors, and see if there are any liens or loans out against the property.  Any overdue taxes.\n\nPlus I would also go to the Engineers office and see if there are any vairances on the property that may hinder you to buy..(such as a leeway for public utilities, or variance for some one to cross your property at will, as in a road or public right of way).\n\nWhen you go there, to the sale, inquire as to how they do it.  In my jurisdiction, the sherriff will offer the property up for sale once, at the 2/3 value, and if no one bids on it, then he will offer it up for what ever price some one is willing to pay for it, the second time.  (Thats when it usually goes for a lo less), so, ask before they start, and see what thier proceedures are...\n \nOh, you dont usually get to see inside the house that is for sale, so, its "as is" an can be completely wrecked, or be in good shape, it depends on how the previous occupants fared, like if they were being evicted, some people are not too kind to a property and will literally wreck the place... (Its a shame, but, it happens).  So, you take the chance....\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

Who are "you" in this question?  The original owner of the property?\n\nWhat happens is:  The sheriff seizes and sells the property of someone who owes money.  The money made from the sale goes to pay off the person who is owed money, and any left over goes to the person who owed the money and was the owner of the property that was taken and sold.

I never heard of that.  When you sell a property and the tenants have a lease, the lease is a legal contract and cannot be terminated until the ending date.  Unless the tenant has not followed all the rules of the lease, like not paying rent or destroying property then the contract is legally binding to anyone who buys that property.  I suggest you read your lease over again.

They should start looking before.\n\nThe seller can include in their P&S (Purchase & Sales Agreement) with the buyer, a contigency that states their contract is dependent upon their ability to find a new home. It usually includes some type of time limit 30-90days is common depending on the buyers ability to be flexible.\n\nIf you are performing a For Sale By Owner, you'll need to study up on this some more in general in regards to purchase and sales agreements, if you are working with a Realtor, they should be able to assist you with this easily.

The answer you are looking for most likely deals with adverse possession.  That is where after a period of time a piece of land can become yours.  I'm including an excerpt, but each state can vary a bit.\n\nTraditional common law provided a method for someone to obtain title to land through use. The common law rules for adverse possession have been codified under both federal and state statutes. A typical statute allows a person to get title to land from the actual owner simply by using the land, out in the open for all to see. For example, your neighbor built a fence on your land with the intention of taking the property, paid property taxes, and you knew about it but did nothing. If this continued for a period of time set by state law, your neighbor may be able to claim this property as his/her own. The theory is that, by not disputing your neighbor’s use of your property through a lawsuit, you, as the actual owner have abandoned your rights to the property. There are several elements needed for adverse possession to result in title: \n\nThe length of time required for adverse possession in title varies - it could be as short as a few years or could run for twenty years or more. Typically public entities must establish a longer period of possession than individuals. Some states have adopted a rule which requires the adverse possessor to pay taxes each year on the land. \n\nThe possession must be open for all to see. \n\nThe possession must be exclusive to him or her (e.g., the fence in the above example, a driveway, road, etc.) \n\nThe possession must be hostile to the actual owner of the land. \n\nTo gain title to land through adverse possession requires strict compliance with the law, but can have dramatic impact upon land ownership rights.\n\nAn encroachment could result in title to your property being transferred to an adverse possessor. Under these circumstances, you might have to bring a lawsuit for trespass in order to prevent your neighbor from getting title to your land through adverse possession. \n\nIf you own land, it is important that you do not "sleep on your rights" since you could lose ownership of the land.

When you have a buyer,if they are getting a loan ,their lending agent can take care of all the closing papers.\nYOU are required to pay for the new deed, NOT A TITLE OF OPINION< the buyer will want a title of opinion,at their expense >

Real estate taxes are reassessed when a transaction for consideratio occurs. In this case, is money changing hands? If no, then the transfer is "without consideration" and taxes remain the same.

it sounds like you should have had a lawyer during the real estate transaction.  I'd suggest hiring a real estate attorney to help clear up the matter.  for starters you could get info on the lein from the register of deeds office in your county.

As long as the contract is legal and binding (for example, the parties involved were of legal age to enter into a contract), then yes, the transaction is done and either party can be sued for non-performance or breach of contract if needed. \n\nThe above is of my opinion based on my experience and knowledge as a California real estate mortgage broker and investor. I suggest you seek legal advice from a lawyer who specializes in real estate law.\n\nRegards...

If your name is on the deed then you are an owner and you can simply put it up for sale. I would hope that the deed with your name on it (as a party of the second part) was recorded with the register of deeds in the county where the property is located.

You first create a trust, then use the trust to acquire the property or transfer the property to the trust.\n\nFor legal help, try: www.legalzoom.com\n\nHere is some information I dug up from the web that outlines what I was trying to say:\nhttp://tinyurl.com/f6ydr\n\nRegards...

No.  I know this is a hard idea to grasp, but once you buy property you have the right to use it, lease it, or sell it to anyone you want.  You do not have the right to buy the property unless you have a contract that states you do or a 'right of first refusal' contract that says you have the right to buy at a price equal to an offer in the future.

IN property law often times ACTUALLY Holding on to an object or occupying a some land is often decisive.\n\nFor example: if you are walking down a street and someone snatches your purse and is then caught, YOU do not have to prove that the purse is ACTUALLY yours, that you did not steal it yesterday etc etc, before the person is convicted as a thief. All you have to show to convict that person of theft is that you were just holding on to a purse before he snatched it. \n\nSimilarly if your purse is stolen and is not found within 5 years(statute of limitations) the thief basically now owns the purse, because there is no way you can prosecute him.\n\nThis doctrine also often applies to real property. If you actually LIVE on the land(but don't have a legal title, basically you are squatting) you can kick off a new trespasser without showing title. And if you live on the land long enough(usually 10 years) You will get a Title to it, and the person who had it before but did not use the land looses it(This is known as adverse possession).\n\nSo basically often(90% of time) the entitlement to property will be useless or irrelevant while ACTUAL POSSESSION will control.
