  • The Myth of Strict Foreclosure

    The Myth of Strict Foreclosure

    THE MYTH OF STRICT FORECLOSURE SHmLDON TEFF* YTHS in the field of mortgages are many and striking. One of the most striking is the assumption of American students that the English chancellor left the mortgagor virtually unprotected from his mortgagee. It is not diffitult to find the reasons for this assump- tion. In the colonial period of the country the Court of Chancery was in great disrepute., Time has removed much of the prejudice against doctrines of the chancellor, but in the field of mortgages the prejudice has continued. First, the English system of mortgages seems very primitive to American students. The struggle of junior mortgages to obtain the status of legal charges has confirmed the tradition that the English system of mortgages was very slow in developing, and the hocus-pocus of the long-term lease by which, under the 1925 legislation,2 the second mortgage emerged as a legal charge tended to confirm the prejudice. Surely under a system so primitive mortgagors could not have been adequately protected! The second reason for the prejudice is based upon the history of the American law of mortgages. For more than a century the trend of the American law has been toward greater protection for the debtor. Judges and legislators have joined in the effort to improve the position of the mortgagor and yet, as the d6bicle of the last decade shows, the present American system leaves the mortgagor without adequate protection. The position of mortgagors who did not have the benefit of the century's improvements must have been miserable indeed.

    Denver Bar Association Real Estate Section Luncheon November 6, 2014 Water Law in Real Estate Transactions by Paul Noto, Esq. [email protected] Prior Appropriation Doctrine • Prior Appropriation Doctrine – First in Time, First in Right • Water allocated exclusively based on priority dates • Earliest priorities divert all they need (subject to terms in decree) • Shortages of water are not shared • “Pure” prior appropriation in CO A historical sketch of Colorado water law • Early rejection of the Riparian Doctrine, which holds that landowners adjacent to a stream can make a reasonable use of the water flowing through your land. – This policy was ill-suited to Colorado and would have hindered growth, given that climate and geography necessitate transporting water far from a stream to make land productive. • In 1861 the Territorial Legislature provided that water could be taken from the streams to lands not adjacent to streams. • In 1872, the Colorado Territorial Supreme Court recognized rights of way (easements), citing custom and necessity, through the lands of others for ditches carrying irrigation water to its place of use. Yunker v. Nichols, 1 Colo. 551, 570 (1872) A historical sketch of Colorado water law • In 1876 the Colorado Constitution declared: – “The water of every natural stream, not heretofore appropriated, within the state of Colorado, is hereby declared to be the property of the public, and the same is dedicated to the use of the people of the state, subject to appropriation as hereinafter provided.” Const. of Colo., Art. XVI, Sec. 5. – “The right to divert the unappropriated waters of any natural stream to beneficial uses shall never be denied.

    1 Preventing Homelessness

    PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS STATEMENT OF BEST PRACTICE IN JOINT WORKING BETWEEN RENFREWSHIRE COUNCIL AND HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS (RSLs), PRIVATE LANDLORDS AND CREDITORS IN THE RENFREWSHIRE AREA. EVICTION PROTOCOL 1. INTRODUCTION This Statement of Best Practice aims to ensure that prevention of homelessness and dealing with evictions takes place in a non-discriminatory way and that appropriate support is available to all tenants/legal occupiers on an individual basis. The agreement relies on effective partnership working, built upon honesty, integrity, confidentiality and a willingness by all parties to prevent eviction and resultant homelessness. 2. BACKGROUND The prevention of homelessness, whatever the cause, is a key strategic aim of Renfrewshire Council. Section 11 of the Homelessness etc. (Scotland) Act 2003 places a duty on all Registered Social Landlords/private sector landlords* and creditors to notify the local authority of any repossession proceedings. The duty under Section 11 becomes a statutory requirement on 1st April 2009 (* Since April 2006 all private landlords letting property in Scotland have also had a duty to register with the Council.) This Statement of Best Practice sets out arrangements for the implementation of Section 11 to ensure that all tenants and legal occupants of dwellings in Renfrewshire have access to services which can provide advice and assistance in preventing homelessness occurring as a result of eviction or repossession due to rent or mortgage arrears, or other management grounds. As part of an ongoing restructure of homelessness services in Renfrewshire, a Prevention Team has been established. Within this team there are Homeless Prevention Officers who have a dedicated role to assist households threatened with homelessness.

    VIOLATIONS OF ZONING ORDINANCES, THE COVENANT AGAINST ENCUMBRANCES, AND MARKETABILITY OF TITLE: HOW PURCHASERS CAN BE BETTER PROTECTED Jessica P. Wilde∗ I. INTRODUCTION Zoning ordinances function as an exercise of the government’s general police power, sustaining the enjoyment, health, and safety of the public. They are important in order to maintain property values and protect a neighborhood’s quality and environment.1 Zoning ordinances prevent people from using their property in a way that would make a neighborhood less enjoyable.2 State statutes often provide civil and criminal penalties for failing to comply with zoning ordinances.3 Noncompliance with existing ordinances may be of concern to a buyer who buys a parcel of land ∗ J.D. candidate, Touro Law Center, May 2007; B.S., Brigham Young University, May 2004. 1 See ROBERT H. NELSON, ZONING AND PROPERTY RIGHTS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF LAND USE REGULATION 11-12 (1977). 2 Id. They are often enacted for safety purposes; for example, a zoning ordinance prevents commercial use in a residential neighborhood or may require a permit or certificate of occupancy before a building is occupied. In addition, a zoning ordinance may be in the form of a building code, requiring that the building maintain certain requirements for fire code purposes. Ordinances serve an array of important functions in order to maintain the value and enjoyment of a neighborhood, as well as facilitate the safety and health of the public. 3 Adam Forman, Comment, What You Can’t See Can Hurt You: Do Latent Violations of a Restrictive Land Use Ordinance, Existing Upon Conveyance, Constitute a Breach of the Covenant Against Encumbrances? 64 ALB.

Schwartz: Chapter 1: Property and Conveyancing CHAPTER 1 Property and Conveyancing WILLIAM SCHWARTZ• §1.1. Abolition of the doctrine of worthier title. Sections 33A and 83B of chapter 184 have been added to the General Laws.1 These statutes abolish the doctrine of worthier title. In order to comprehend the impact of these statutes it is necessary to understand both of the common law branches of this rule-testamentary worthier title and inter vivos worthier title. Since these statutes may not affect prior conveyances or devises, such an understanding of the common law branches remains essential. At common law, if land was devised, and a devisee was given an estate of the same quantity and quality as he would have taken if the devise had been stricken out of the will, he was deemed to take the inter­ est by descent and not by devise.2 This is known as the Doctrine of Testamentary Worthier Title. A variety of reasons have been suggested for the rule, including the desire on the part of medieval lords to preserve the valuable incidents of tenure.8 For example: 0 owns Blackacre in fee simple absolute. 0 devises it to A. At O's death, A is O's heir.
