In nh if i have a deed do i have to record it if there is no lein

Answered 12 years and 10 months ago by Lisa M. Hughes (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate
It depends on the jurisdiction in which the land is located.  Some jurisdictions transfer title based upon date of "delivery" of the deed to the new owner and some juridictions tranfer title based upon a "race to the court house" model (meaning whoever records first is the owner).  The safest bet is to record the deed....

How do I find out the mineral rights status of property?

Answered 13 years and a month ago by Mr. Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate
You need to have a title search done.  You may also want to have the title search specifically focus on the grant of mineral rights.  You may want to contact a local real estate attorney to determine what the laws in your state are with regards to the severing of mineral estates from the real property as each state has unique laws regarding real property. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.... Read More

We have been approved to give a deed in lieu of foreclosure. What should we look out for?

Answered 13 years and 6 months ago by James B. Spina (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate

Do i have the legal right to evict my moms boyfriend so that i can take possession of the house and land she left me in her will?

Answered 13 years and 10 months ago by Mr. Charles Eddie Isom (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate
The first thing you should do is retain a good probate lawyer.  I will assume from your message that your Mom has died and that the boyfriend did not have his name on the deed -- and that your Mom did not leave him in the will any right to retain possession.  I cannot imagine what rights the lawyer might be trying to protect --- except the possibility that he will argue that some kind of common law marriage was in place at your Mom's death.  Your lawyer can provide better guesswork as to how likely that might be, and can probably shed light on other possibilities.  I recommend that you NOT go to the yellow pages to find a lawyer unless that is the only means at your disposal.  Ask your friends, family, neighbors, pastor -- anyone you can think of -- for recommendations for selecting a good probate lawyer -- not just any lawyer.  Many lawyers do not have a probate practice and know little about it.   ...
