		<description><![CDATA["I have a contract to buy a piece of property. During the survey, it was determined that a portion of the driveway is on "the brothers" (referred to as 2B's from here on) land next door. And does the gas company have any rights to my land even though there is no pipe on it, a large (90' pines with other tall vegetation under them) vegetative buffer barring the use of it, and no recorded easement (there is one on the 2B's land and the previous owner was compensated for it; the 2B's purchased their land with the easement already there)?]]></description>

I was just wondering if there is anything that we can do to the sellers, the plumber said that this didn't happen over night it took years to happen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I have receipts for land that say "paid in full" can court order seller to turn over deeds to buyer? Originally my husband and I entered in to verbal agreement to purchase 10 lots from this individual, we have paid for 5 lots in full and paid last years taxes on all 10 lots have receipt stating so signed by the seller. There is no written contract stating a specific date by which all ten lots had to be paid for. Wouldn't these events look suspicious enough to any judge and the out come be in my favor if in fact I have to go through legal system to obtain deeds for property I have paid for &#038; be allowed to purchase the remaining lots?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The owners who lived here prior to us painted the fence and now the fence paint is chipping. Our HOA is now contacting us stating that the painting of the fence is a violation of the Declaration of Covenants and we are responsible for replacing the entire fence.  Why should we be responsible? Should the HOA have held the previous owners responsible when they breached the Declaration?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in a small (15 home) community outside Charlotte, NC.  The community developer controlled the HOA initially, though within the past couple years, several new homes have been built and sold, and the new homeowners were told via realtors and at closing that there was no HOA and no fees due. The rest of the community has been living under the CC&#038;R documents and paying lake access fees. Do we have an actionable HOA or not?  If not, what do we need to do?  Do the original CC&#038;Rs stand?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been speculating in land for a couple of years now and own Warranty Deeds to 4 lots of various acreages in both New Mexico and AZ, all from seemingly reputable Sellers. What I wanted to find out is how if possible, can I try and obtain title or insurance on these properties. It also seems there is much controversy about the real worth of these parcels especially now since we are all in a RE downturn market. ]]></description>
