LOL! You crack me up, LogHouseNut!

It sounds fishy, Rod. After admittedly skimming much of the page, which is mostly focussed on proof of ownership, I saw this quote:

"With a land patent as the operating authority on the land, the Land cannot thereafter lawfully be taken for debt or taxes, except by the willing grant of the Landowner."

People lose land/homes in every county every year, and there are plenty of laws covering how it's done (and not done). So at what point does someone willingly enter into a contract to pay property taxes? I've bought a home before, and signed a mind-numbing mountain of paperwork at closing. Is it in there?

I suggest you take some more time to go over it. Better yet, start with the "Do you own land" link on the left first. Things will make much more sense.

thanks rod ill check it out!

[dazedandconfused]

Rod was checking it out from the website and of coarse I am confused, I seen it state this "Land cannot be taken for debt or taxes, but Real Estate can be." So my property with real estate would not be a good option here? If so is this what you are doing, do you know anyone who has been successful doing this?

[rreidnauer]

I haven't decided whether to proceed at attempting it. I imagine it may be very difficult to find the records trail all the way back to the original grant. Probably requires hiring some sort of property lawyer and some significant cash outlay. I don't know anyone who has attempted securing a land patent. Not even sure if there is a way to know who has through public records.

Interesting. I do have the records from back to 1940 for my property of the original "cut up.". I'll see if they call it a grant in the wording.
