There are many good real estate lawyers in Texas.  What city are you in?  I would narrow down the selection process that way.  Also check with the licensing association in Austin.  They will also be able to tell you who is having "professional difficulty," something you would want to stay away from in an attorney.

WOW, that is a good question for a tax attorney in your area as laws differ from state to state.  Hard to say without knowing if your state is a common property or what state.  usually consultations with an attorney are free the first time.  Wouldn't hurt to give one a call.  :)

This is a practice known as "squatting." The laws vary from state to state and nation to nation. I've heard of a few places that allow you to acquire the title to the property after a predetermined amount of years but you need to check that out with your local laws.

I hate to be a devils advocate but if I were you I would take it to a Real Estate lawyer, and quick! Most of them will give you a free consultation and if they think you have a good case they will take it on for a piece of the winnings.  A lot of them won't charge you if you lose.

Can't find anything specific for Texas, however, check with building and transportation, zoning, and don't forget ADA. Parking lots must be handicapped assessable.

Many years ago I had to evict a tenant in Texas and at the time all I had to do was write a letter, have it notarized had have the county constable serve notice. Things may have changed since the 1980's so I would suggest you check with the local housing authority.

No.  You own the property, the benefits and the lost is yours.  If you found oil on your land, are you going to share it with the State of Texas?

There is most likely a "due on sale" clause in your financing paperwork somewhere. Legally you can sell the property, however if the bank finds out that you sold it they will require that you pay off the balance of your loan immediately. Depending on the wording of the contract, there may also be an early pay off penalty. Your best bet is to talk to a real estate lawyer. It is very hard to owner finance a property in Texas if you still owe money on it. Over the last few years, a lot of people have abused the system and it has forced the law makers to crack down on the owner financed contracts.

Try going to your local lawschool/lawlibrary.  They may have forms for pro se (do it yourself) patrons.  Sounds like a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship.\n\nOf course, if you want to be on the safe side - you should get an attorney to handle it.  The cost may outweigh the potential problems that can pop up if the deed is improperly executed.

Check with the Texas Bar Association.  They should have a toll free number listed.

when you get married, all things are considered shared by both people no matter who owned it origanally. You must file a prenuptualy agreement in order to keep anything that was yours before the marrige. Also I know that in TX at least this is a civil dispute and you must get a lawer if you would like to get it resolved

You need to refer to the property code provided by whichever state in which your property is in, with regard to landlord and tenant rights.  For example, if you were in Texas, you would easily find this information by doing a search for "Texas Property Code", where the state in which you own the property would replace Texas in my example.

Call the propertys County Appraisal Districts office. They can tell you what last years property tax was. You can go by that but depending on IN state property tax laws this amount can vary each year depending on a number of factors. I know in the state of TX it is the law that each property be valued at market value: what properties are selling for.
