      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

      Mineral Rights WV

      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...

      Survey Stakes

      It is illegal in most states to remove survey corner points. It could also be illegal to remove wooden stakes placed by the surveyor, if the person that removes them is not the one that paid for them in the first place. The problem lies in proving it. Unless you have photos or video of the...

      "Less and Except" Clause on deed

      As a lawyer writing a description without the benefit of a survey or a description written by a surveyor for the transaction, I agree. It is always better for the consumer to have a survey in a real estate transaction, though, because only a survey would discover if there was a problem with...

      "Less and Except" Clause on deed

      The reason Less and Except is in the deed is because the original owners of the whole tract were too cheap to pay the surveyor to write two descriptions. The only parcel described was the 2 acres being conveyed out, then the original parcel is described as it was originally, save and except the...

      Property line vs boundry

      I agree that a boundary survey performed by a surveyor licensed in your parents state would be the first thing that needs to be done. Your parents neighbor can not automatically "take" the land without going to court and proving adverse possession to a judge. The time of possession varies...
