[mystic one]

when you buy a "lot of land" your really just buying the land deed? since buying a lot, is not patent.

a plot of land.

from what has been said here and historically, one doesnt buy land, one buys the paper showing owner ship.

"real estate" is not land.

does that mean one is buying the right to own land?

consider: the right to own property is the right to use and abuse it absolutely to the detriment of all others as long as no one is harmed and no "foreign" property or right thereof is damaged.

If you can trace clear title without any breaks (tax deed sales - sheriffs' auction) back to the original land grant or patent then the original contract that transfered the land is still in effect. You would be one of the heirs or assigns mentioned. This would be true for any portion of the property originally transfered regardless of size. Bank foreclosures evidently do not break the chain of title.

Bring your abstract up to date. No need to re-write or re-record that patent to cover just your lot.

Legal affect would be the law that covers your property is the law that was in affect at the time of the original issue of grant or patent. If the EPA or City of Dingle Wash did not exist when the patent was issued they would be interfering with a contract if they tell you how you must use the land.

Palani,

Really? Post the legal authority supporting your position. If you buy a lot that is now in the center of LA that was originally deeded before LA existed, LA can certainly regulate what you do on that property - and does! It regulates whether you can have a house or commercial building and all kinds of other things.

The SC has even recently ruled (in an opinion that I completely disagree with) that if LA wants your property for economic development, they can take it from you and pay you for it.

So, post the legal authority backing up what you opine. And, don't post a web page. Post the case law (in full, not a sentence out of context), statutes, and legislative history as well asthe analysis that led you to this (erroneous) conclusion.

Just because you want things to be the way you espouse them does not mean that is really how they are.

In the spirit of peace and elimination of controversey, it is good advice that you offer in regard to posting the necessary citations to a claim or legal issue. It is also good advice that I offer in suggesting that you do the same in regard to your claim. After all - why is it necessary for one to post those citations when another makes a bold claim without offering that same degree of proof which he or she demands from the other? No-one is requirred to give any credibility to what you say is fact without your offer of proof. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

Did you know you have a doppleganger out there?

Idoknow

What part of the word 'contract' don't you understand?

I would suggest you do your own homework since any action you might be anticipating (that includes talking yourself into doing nothing) has elements of risk.

If it is a lot in LA we are talking about you might study up on mexican law. Gringo law might not be effective in a few years.

he's only a shadow and the shadow of a dog never bit anyone; ignore him

he's a terribly poor substitute for the Original

i wish i could remember the dialog from Star Trek's episode of _Spector of the Gun_

that was all about shadows!

It seems to me like conspiracy. In this forum somebody tries to tarnish your image, Idknow.

Without Prejudice
Clarification. There are various things to consider here despite all.

1. If "real estate" is/is not deemed to be in the City of Los Angeles will the City of Los Angeles be able to / not be able to take it for its own use?

2. If the "real estate" is deemed to be 'residental' what exactly does that mean and does it mean what you think it means?

3. If the title to land is somehow held in one's "true name" rather the State's legal name what would be the effects?

4. If you are a resident of the State of California or a resident of the City of Los Angeles or a United States citizen/person are there any adverse consequences in having the afforementioned status?

5. Does having real (royal) estate registered with the State of California or with the City of Los Angeles have any negative side effects? Any desireable ones?

Consider that all the things discussed in this thread so far, may depend on various factors. And I agree, the effect of old treaties might play quite a big role in the near future.

when you see a lot of land for sale. what is that called, is it just called a land deed? a land deed is considered real estate. when you see lots for sale..? your buying the statutory deed, layer? what is the correct term for it, since that lot you bought is obviously not the patent?
