Grandfathered In?

[Cheyenne101]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

I would like to aquire a piece of property through a short sale, 12 acres. There is an animal sanctuary on the property with 50 horses and other farm animals, i.e. pigs, sheep, goats. I was told in order to be grandfathered in, I would need to keep a family member of the current owner on title. Is there another way to be grandfathered in or is that the only way? Is there a way to protect myself if this is actually what I need to do?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Who told you how to do this? Someone at County Planning/Building ? You might search the Yellow Pages for R/E lawyers and find one or two who will give you 15 minutes free consultation and see what's what.

If necessary you can spend $250 or so for one hour of a lawyer's time to get the real skinny.

**A: that does not make any sense. What is the actual zoning code reference.
