Mountain Property Case
Mountain Property
Problem
In this case study Martin was faced with losing his land to Otis who claimed to have lived there for twenty years and to the lease company that had lend money to Andrew, one of his partners joint tenancy owner for the mountain property.
Legal advice Looking at Martin’s case legally, he was right to contact the attorney for the necessary legal actions. According to laws that states joint ownership of properties, a co-owner of a joint tenancy with rights of survivorship deed may sever the joint tenancy by filing a petition to partition. This was the same case that the son of Peter, Andrew did. They had a right to terminate the joint ownership with him because he was unable to clear a loan. When a joint co-owner deals in any way with a property inconsistent with a joint tenancy, that co-owner will be treated as having terminated the joint tenancy. (“The Benefits And Pitfalls Of Joint Tenancy,” n.d.) In my own opinion in that case of lenders trying to foreclose the property, they shouldn’t have done that to the whole property but rather with the interest or shares that were initially owned by the Peter and let the others co-owners to continue enjoying their properties.

But on the other hand he should have considered that he is being compensated so that he can acquire another piece of land. There were a lot of advantages that would have been brought by the Tar Heel Family Resort. Considering this and other advantages, still keeping in mind that he was being compensated as the city attorney assured he should have agreed to the deal and let the society benefit from the open business ideas that would have come along with the construction of the

    When asked “what can Moon, Inc do to get its money from Bob Zimmerman?” I would address it by saying if Zimmerman doesn’t pay off what he owes then according to the mortgage contract Zimmerman would foreclose his house and Moon, Inc. would have the right to bid first. My reasoning is that initially the mortgage was taken out for the house and Zimmerman paid back loans toward the bank. If Zimmerman doesn’t pay then the house is foreclosed and the bank gets the right to bid first on credit bid. Now the mortgage for the house belongs to Moon, Inc. and Zimmerman pays back loans to Moon, Inc. Since Zimmerman has stopped paying his mortgage that means that when the house gets foreclosed Moon, Inc. would have the right to bid first on credit bid.…

    Eminent Domain Case Study

    Eminent domain is the power of a state or a national government take private property for public use (Property). Before anything, the city offices should have notified Martin ahead of time that his beach house was in jeopardy of being taken away. This could have been accomplished, by the city making an offer of some sort to purchase Martin’s property before resorting to an eminent domain (Council). According to Cornell University Law School, Kelo v. New London (04-108) 545 U.S. 469 (2005), the city invoked a state statute that specifically authorizes the use of eminent domain to promote economic development (Hashmall). It was appropriate here, since the main purpose was to resolve the challenges of individual owners, not on a piecemeal basis, but rather in light of the entire plan, unquestionably serving a public purpose (Hashmall). However, this is not the case for Martin. The “Future home of the Tar Heel Family Resort” was being built with hopes of attracting new businesses and jobs, not necessarily being used for public or civic services as well as economic development. In other words, this new feature was more of a main attraction to help their business…

    This is the story that I have witnessed in my community. The dispute between the boundaries of houses led to the misunderstanding of each other. Since I do not own any rights to appear theirs real name in this paper, let’s assume they are James and Taylor. James and Taylor were longtime neighbors and best friends before the dispute happened. One day, Taylor had done some changes in her front gate, which included laying a concrete slab. This concrete slab intruded on James’ property line. Taylor and James had many strong emotions about what was the best way to resolve this property line dispute. For Taylor it was only a few cm. But for James it was a very important few cm. James, concerned about maintaining his current property rights, insisted that Taylor to remove the concrete. Taylor felt that in the spirit of being good neighbors the cm should be overlooked. On the top of the issue, there was a third party, “the property line agency” that was called by Taylor to mediate this issue. James felt betrayed that Taylor had called the property line agency on him a few months earlier. Taylor had called property line agency to get help with the property line issue. Shockingly, while investigating the property line, the agent noticed that James had constructed a concrete grave of his father 5cm in the backyard of Taylor’s property land. James was forced to move his father grave from Taylor’s land. James blamed Taylor. Taylor hadn’t meant for that to happen. Then she understood James’ anger towards her. In the end, James and Taylor made several apologies to one another and let go these past transgressions. Concrete slab of Taylor was still constructed and James’ father grave was also not removed. As a result of the mediation, James and Taylor were spared the expense of the property line agency and more importantly, returned to being good…

    The infamous abolitionist Frederick Douglass once said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” This statement is definitely true as people can’t bring about change easily or without opposition. This declaration is personified in Paul Farmer’s story as he tries to cure the world of tuberculosis. In Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder, we see all the challenges and opponents that Farmer faces in attempting to bring about good, but we also see the reward of fighting the long defeat and how these challenges are active in our own lives as we try to bring about change.…
