100% wrong.

100% wrong.

A patent is an unconditional title to land.

A land patent is in effect a deed, from the government (who owned that land) to the person who is now the owner.

Quote:
A deed is the evidence of use not the underlying ownership.

Absolutely wrong ... yet again.

A person who has a possessory interest in land is a lessor or tenant. Just like the person who rents the apartment has the use of the property, but is not the owner.

The person with a valid deed is the owner.

A patent is a patent is a patent and is unconditional

Wrong. A land patent can have conditions attached to it ... just like any deed can ... just like any lease can.

You guys need to pick up a basic property law book and do some reading.
