1-2 Property Rights and Estates  Real property vs. personal property  Estates –Based on Rights: Possession vs. Not in Possession –Based on Possession and Use: Freehold vs. Leasehold  Possessory estates –Freehold  Fee Simple Estates  Life Estates

1-3 Estates  Nonpossessory Estates: Future Estates –Reversion –Remainder  Leasehold Estates  Estate for Years  Estate from Year to Year

1-4 Additional Interests  An interest is a right or claim on real property, its revenues, or production. –A common example of an interest is when an owner of real estate pledges or encumbers his property as a condition for obtaining a mortgage. The lender is said to have a secured interest.  An easement is a nonpossessory interest in land. The right is for the use of the land for a special purpose. –Examples include rights of way for road access and utility lines.

1-5 Title Assurance  Title Assurance  The Meaning of Title –Abstract Term –Quantity of Rights Conveyed –Abstract of Title –Title Chain

1-6 Title Assurance  Deeds –Grantor & Grantee –General Warranty Deed  Covenant that the grantor has good title  Covenant that the grantor has the right to convey the property  Covenant to compensate the grantee for loss of property or eviction as a result of a superior claim  No encumbrances on title except those noted

1-7 Title Assurance  Deeds –Special Warranty Deed  Limits the covenants to the ownership duration of the current grantor.  No guarantees on the ownership of prior grantors. –Bargain and Sale Deed  Conveys property without seller warranties  Sometimes called an “as-is” deed

1-8 Title Assurance  Deeds –Sheriff’s Deed-Trustee Deed  Bargain and sale deed received by a buyer from a foreclosure or other forced sale by sheriff or trustee  No warranties are added –Quitclaim Deed  No Covenants  The least protection to the grantee  Grantor conveys whatever right “may exist”

1-9 Title Assurance  Abstract & Opinion –Title search –Study of relevant records –Lawyer’s opinion on title  Is it good and marketable?  Are there any clouds on title?  Is there a break in the chain of title?

1-10 Title Insurance Why Title Insurance and not Abstract and Opinion? 1.Definite contract liability to the premium payer 2.Reserves sufficient to meet insured losses 3.Supervision by an agency of the state 4.Protection to the policyholder against financial loss because of any kind of title defect, disclosed or hidden While an abstract and opinion method may still be used because of cost considerations, in general title insurance is used. As a general rule, lenders will require that a buyer use title insurance.

1-11 Title Assurance  Title Insurance –One time premium –Unseen Hazards in the Public Record  Risk is spread among many property owners –Owners’ Policy  Insures the interest of a new owner –Lender’s Policy  Insures the interest of the lender

1-12 Recording Acts  Recording protects the interest of the owner  Constructive Notice –A person is deemed to have whatever information is in the public record  Mechanics Liens –May be recorded “after the fact” –Seller’s affidavit –Lien waiver

1-13 Limitations on Property Rights  Government Restrictions –Police Power  Zoning, building codes, etc. –Eminent Domain  Eminent domain is relatively expansive; depending on the state, government has relatively broad powers on what property they may take possession of through eminent domain and for what purpose.

1-14 Limitations on Property Rights  Private Restrictions –Deed restrictions –Subdivision restrictions
