There are a total of 4 cabins around that the trees could have fallen on. About 125 trees have been removed. They would have fallen on someone's cabin or worse...on someone. It was extremely dangerous no doubt about it. I had no choice but to pay to have them removed.

I believe you are right in that it did not get handled properly. It took my lawyer 3 weeks to call me back so he may actually realize the mistake. I'm sure I will pay a lot of money to get it sorted out. In the meantime, more trees have died and I am dropping another $3000 next week to get them...

<quote>If you split it 1/3 to each child it could become a real mess to do. If you do the 1/3 split, your family would then own more than your cotenants family (2/3 for yours and 1/3 for hers). Is there a reason she should relinquish any of her interest just to slow the 1/3 split situstion? It...

Thank you justalayman for your detailed explanation. It is making more sense now but you are right, it is very confusing. It shows as tenants in common. I made an apt. with my lawyer and he is going to go over chain of title with me. I appreciate your help.

My mother and I built the cabin and then she died. The trees died the next year. The co-owner did not say anything about her intentions until 2 weeks ago. I am using the words "cleaned up" but what I actually mean is that I took my mother's name off the deed and my ex-husbands name off the...

I have the deed in a safe place but don't have access to it right now. I think it says my name and ETAL. Where would I find the information where it might say Rights of Survivorship? If it says Rights of Survivorship, and I have it in my Trust and I die, my kids go on the deed and they are...

What is the name of your state? California I will try to make this short... I own a piece of property with a co-owner. There were more of us but we are the last 2 living. We have always agreed to never sell and that our kids would inherit the property and all 3 would be equal owners. Just...
