Can you help me with property laws?

It certainly sounds like they are taking advantage of you and maybe others in the area. Find out if other property owners are disturbed by this situation. There is always strength in numbers.  \nMy question would be, do you have the full rights to your property? Or have you conceded some rights in the contract you signed to own the property. You must have somewhere in the local government the files on each property in your area. Find out where this office is located and visit them by phone or in person and find out what your title says about your rights.\nGood Luck!

this is a little bit vague, but I am guessing you mean real property, right? depending on the state you live in, real property ownership records are usually public, and if you go to the county property records someone can help you.  There may be a fee involved.

Land used for a certain amount of time to provide access to another's property becomes tantamount to their property.  It is known as adverse possession. Actually, in this case it would become public domain and thereafter you don't have the right to close it back off when you decide you want to do so.  (If they have frontage to a road elsewhere, they need to build their gate there.)\nBe prepared to lose a chunk of your land.  Or you could close it off and offer to sell that piece if they are interested.  If nothing else, a lease of that access and a waiver in case of accidents would protect you and your property rights.  These situations can get VERY sticky, so exercise your property rights or go get a lawyer.  In some states (such as Texas) it's illegal to sell land that does not have access.

I think you are talking about adverse possession.\n\nIf no one discovers this, the laws are different in different states. Some states say that since you did not know it wasn't your property, you can be sued for encroachment. Others say that you have successfully occupied the property long enough that it is now yours.

The legal term is adverse possession. Unless there is some agreement between you, other than rent, and the owner has not attempted untl now to remove you from the property,then it is possible that you now have right to the property. It would depend upon the particular laws and statute of Limitations ( could be as much as 20 years) in your state and municipality.

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...

You need to go to a Radio Shack and they will have a book of your Law Enforcment freq. of your area or the entire nation. When you get there just ask them about the book and they will know what you are talking about. They normally cost around $20.

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.

Read the covenants in your hoa documents, that should tell you if they have a right or not.  If it is too technical, consult a real estate attorny, do not rely on advice you get from Y!A.

ok, you need to get the records from the court houses from the counties that you are interested in buying from. the records you need are the delinquent taxes. you then pay the taxes and this is a lien on the property. you can name the interest on the money if they pay you back or you own the property.  you may want to also seek some legal advice on this matter before you get too involved so you are doing this right.\n\nthere is also a list of propetties in the newspapers around tax time.

Work with your attorney.  Yes you have to give it to them, but the law specifies how large it has to be usually 15 or 20 feet and where it is located.  Doesn't have to be where most convenient, just has to be one.  This is assuming the property owner has no other means no matter how difficult to reach his property except by crossing your land.
