  • Contiguous Residential Land FAQ
    Contiguous Residential Land FAQ What is the difference between Vacant Land and contiguous Residential Land? Vacant Land is any parcel of land that does not have a building or residence built on it (unimproved) as of the Assessment Date- January, 1st each year. Vacant Land is Assessed at 29% of its Actual Value. Contiguous Residential Land is also unimproved but is contiguous to a residentially improved parcel. Residential Land is Assessed at the Residential rate of 7.15% of its Actual Value. How does land qualify as contiguous Residential Land? For Vacant Land to be classified as Residential Land, it needs to have a residential dwelling on it, or it must meet all three of the following criteria, as established by law; 1. The Vacant Land parcel must be contiguous with the Residentially improved parcel. 2. Both parcels must be under common ownership (identical). 3. Both parcels must be used as a unit. What does “contiguous” mean? For property classification and taxation purposes, “contiguous” means parcels of land that physically touch one another. This meaning was affirmed in Mooks v. Board of County Commissioners, 2020 CO 12, by the Colorado Supreme Court. What does “common ownership” mean? Simply put, “common ownership” means that both the residentially improved parcel and the contiguous vacant land parcel must have identical ownership, established by the County’s recorded documents. This meaning was affirmed in Lannie v. Board of County Commissioners, 2020 COA 77, by the Colorado Court of Appeals. What does “used as a unit” mean? In Hogan v. Board of County Commissioners, 2020 CO 12, the Colorado Supreme Court stated, “that a landowner must use multiple parcels of land together as a collective unit of residential property to satisfy the ‘used as a unit’ requirement.” Put another way, all contiguous properties must be used residentially and as though they are a greater, single parcel of land.

Protection for Owners under the Law on Adverse Possession: An Inconsistent Use Test or a Qualified etV o System? Abstract This article will assess the case for reforming the Irish law on adverse possession to confer additional protection on the owner. Assuming such reform is warranted, it is possible that an existing judicial solution, known as the rule in Leigh v Jack, has already been devised. Ontario’s experience with an equivalent rule, known as the inconsistent use test, is of interest in this context and certain academic literature is discussed which explains why the inconsistent use test was developed and argues in favour of its retention or resurrection. An alternative model of protection is then analyzed: the English Qualified Veto System of adverse possession introduced by the Land Registration Act 2002.

Unless that mind has a fundamental traming m Latin and Legal History-and few minds have such training- the use of such material tends to further mire the person in the depths of misunderstanding. Judicial decisions based on such reasoning are entirely worthless, as the propounders themselves fail to have a basic concept of the idea or thought that is being advanced.

Michaels Patent Transfer DRAFT – Dec. 2016 Patent Transfer And The Bundle of Sticks by Andrew C. Michaels* Abstract In the age of the patent troll, patents are often licensed and transferred. A transferred patent may have been subject to multiple complex license agreements. It cannot be that such a transfer wipes the patent clean of all outstanding license agreements; the licensee must keep the license. But at the same time, it cannot be that the patent transferee becomes a party to a complex and sweeping license agreement – the contract – merely by virtue of acquiring one patent. This article attempts to separate the in personam aspects of a license agreement from its effects on the underlying in rem patent rights, using Hohfeld’s framework of jural relations and the “bundle of sticks” conception of property.

RAPPEPORT* It is frequently assumed that with the enactment of the Married \Vomen's Property Acts, the equitable separate estate doctrine has become obsolete' and is at present of historical significance only. It is the object of this article to show that the sweeping generality of this statement is erroneous and to indicate the possibilities of using the separate estate device, together with the restraint on anticipation, as an alternative to spendthrift trusts. A spendthrift trust creates a right in property held by one person for the benefit of another and contains valid provisions against alicnation of the property right either by the voluntary acts of the beneficiary or by acts of his creditors.
