    Making product with photo of Vintage Toy

    Maryland - I was thinking of making some products on Zazzle for sale, using a photo that I took of a 1973 toy. My gut is telling me no, that I would be infringing on someones rights to said toy. Any advice please? TIA

    What is the name of your state? West Virginia I have a friend that has received a request for permission to do a geological survey on their property to look for natural gas. The Geological Company has sent an agreement for them to sign. In the disclosure form they received at closing it says...

    What is the name of your state? Any state U.S.A. Quote:"Question to you jimmler; Are you familiar with the term "mortgage survey"? The mortgage companies usually required no more than this in my area for residential purposes. It was a not staked, (on paper only) diagram of the property with...

    Would you buy 10 acres if you could sell one of the parcels?

    You need to talk to a real estate appraiser to answer your investment question, and the surveyor that you talk to about the feasibility study can give you an estimate for subdivision costs. I can tell you that if you are going to subdivide, do it sooner rather than later, it gets more expensive...

    Would you buy 10 acres if you could sell one of the parcels?

    Is the 10 acre tract shown on a recorded subdivison plat, or was it done by deed conveyance? This could affect whether or not you could just sell off the front 7 acres. As to good investment or not, I think a real estate appraiser could give you an answer on that. Also, it is a good idea to...

    new mortgage company forcing FEMA re-evaluation

    My mortgage company did the same thing to me once, a few years back. I sent them a copy of the FEMA FIRM map with my property plotted on it, prepared by a surveyor. In my case, no part of the property was in a flood zone. The mortgage company dropped it after that. You may want to call a...

    reguarding surveyors

    The NY state association of surveyors only lists members of the association (membership is not mandatory). The state regulates and keeps records of licensed surveyors, here is a link. http://www.op.nysed.gov/opsearches.htm

    Legal Description Question on a Triangle

    WELL, Since nothing was ever mentioned in previous posts that this was in response to evidence submitted in court, lacking all relevant facts, your point is moot. I don't think Judge Judy cares either. Without review of an actual survey, or review of what the surveyor was contracted to do in...

    Legal Description Question on a Triangle

    Well, that's nice. I would hope that you would give the surveyor the time to respond to your request before stating they are "out screwing something else up". You may not be the only client they have, I know it is a hard concept to accept. :eek:

    When reading a survey...

    You need to call the surveyor listed on your Plan of Survey, tell them your intentions and ask them this question before you build anything. You could be looking at a site plan that was done before the building was built, an actual boundary survey or something else. If your tolerance is 1/2...

    Legal Description Question on a Triangle

    The formula would be the law of sines or law of cosines to solve the triangle (find all leg lengths and interior angles), then cut the triangle into two right angle triangles (solve for what you don't know) and run 1/2 base times height on both triangles and add them together to find the area...

    Husband wants to buy home with land for future subdivision? Good idea or not?

    I agree with Home Guru about checking with local planning and zoning departments (in Maryland it will be the County or City you are in). You could also hire a local surveyor to do a "Feasibility Study", they will plot the parcel or lot, research the zoning regulations and tell you what options...
