Land Patent Instructions
If you post your LP sandwich on the public board in your local county court house, there will be a very good chance that IT WILL BE REMOVE.
Consider posting a "Notice of Land Patent" in the legals section of your local or county newspaper and run the notice for 4 weeks. After the notice has run for this consecutive time, get 3 certified copies of a Publisher's Affidavit that is notarized.
You MUST give all parties a minimum of 60 days to respond to your notice, i.e. as to whether they have a claim, lien or debt, or other equitable interest. If someone challenges the patent, make sure that they challenge it Quasi in Rem Jurisdiction.
We are finding that a lot of people miss this VERY IMPORTANT STEP in their process of obtaining the patent.
Another step to consider is: DO NOT RECORD THE LAND PATENT! Only record a "Notice of Land Patent" with all of the pertinent info.
