i am suing a seller who has committed fraud against me in a land contract. the case has been in the courts for almost 2 years now. his attorney has told me they want to settle out by conveying the property to me via a quit claim deed, but to the best of my knowledge that means all encumberances to the title become my problem.
prior to him regaining possession of the property by claiming it was only "rent," i placed a lien on the property, so it is encumbered by that and a successive lien i placed on the property. there does not appear to be any way he can claim slander of title because our agreement said i have these lien rights.
he has wanted to sell the property, but now, in the wake of my finding more evidence that leads to his accomplice in the fraud, he has suddenly opted to settle. my question is this: can he have actually sold the property to someone else then told them to "sit tight" till he gets me to sign off the liens, pay any other encumbrances, etc., then they end up getting the property through some precedence of title? the terms his attorney wants for the conveyance to me is that i drop my case, he drops his and i hold him totally harmless of any encumbrances. i wrote his attorney back that i would accept a quit claim only if the agreement states that should this guy be pulling a fast one i can reinstate my case against him. i haven't heard back from them for a few weeks now...

if i'm you, i accept only a warranty deed.
I agree. Thanks.
well, i guess it's pretty clear that i'm not you, then.
as to the "artificial island community" - which part is "artificial" referring to? is an artificial island or an artificial community? hopefully, it's the island because we have a sufficiency - nay, a surplus - of artificiality in this world already.

Hello Sir,
Regarding the property issue, is there such a thing as a limited warrantee deed? I'm about to email the dude's attorney and tell him no dice on the quit claim. I appreciate your opinion on that issue.
Thanx again.
Regarding the island community, although I learned of him after thinking about this concept on my own, a fellow named Richie Sowie has built his own artificial island out of recycled milk jugs, fishing nets and such complete with a soil layer he grows his food on. The fellow is completely self sustained and moves the island wherever he likes.
My concept is far more industrialized and would be a much larger scale, convoluted and enclosed to become a sea or lake based artificial island. I imagine it would take a good $80M to get the megalithic structure started and then it would be a matter of selling the real estate on the island. I envision the parcels as aproximately 10 acres each. Homes can be built and since the island would be enclosed, it would be "weather on demand" capable. This is an ecolitarean type community with a new twist. Just an idea, but it is not outside our present technical capabilities.

and, to be perfectly frank about it, i considered it all pure folly. then again, your name isn't fulton, is it? if so, i can understand why you'd want an alias.
and yes, there is such a thing as a limited warranty deed, which covers merely the time that the existing seller has owned the property. again, i'd beware.

Thank you for the input about the deed. Yes, I am being cautious. It looks as though this all can happen very soon. I truly am only concerned about the time the current seller has owned it. I've done a search earlier, that shows it clear otherwise.
Regarding the idea, it is pretty wild. My concept is based somewhat around a concept I proposed to NASA back in the late 80's for a different approach to the space station. Small. like Sowie's, has some definite problems, but very large and megalithic might show some promise. It would need to be a group effort by people who had a great deal of trust in one another and that is growing rare in America. The truth is, that lack of trust in fellow Americans is part of the inspiration to even conceive such a plan. Everyone is afraid of their neighbor and for good reason considering what just occurred at Ft. Hood. That, in my opinion is only a prelude and one of the worst fears is the electric grid. I'd feel much more at ease if we had every key power station encircled by national guard. Even though I'm working on urban grade wind power designs and our local light and power company is going to help me design a compatible interface to the grid, my home based system isn't going to power a country and the have-nots would certainly be knocking on my door.
I certainly hope there is no such catastrophy, but it all makes a person think about how prepared he is. I don't know about you, but I have more than just myself to think about.
Robert Fulton I'm not, although you'd find me just as inventive. Actually I give you no alias, but the forum gave me a girls face for an avatar when I'm a dude. Just so you know, it's Dr. R.D. Charbonneau, not David Charbonneau. My heritage is rooted in St. Louis area. Plastics technology is one of my key areas of expertise, during my years as an engineer. Now I am solving the problem of uniting Einstein's cosmological constant with the expansion coefficient of the universe without needing to make it a "cosmological variable." The current part of my work is involving an exhaustive expansion to the periodic table that includes entropy and enthalpy. Because my theorem involves a structured concept of time, this is needed to explain how thermodynamics is also a product of relativity. Most scientists address time as a single dimension, based upon Planck time, where I find, if we look at local space-time at that scale, the turbullent fluctuations must be addressed in nine (vector) dimensions. That's quite a bit different from the other Charbonneau, who, by the way, is an astronomer and is no relation.
Thanx again for your input. Curious, though: Why do you view such an artificial island as folly? I've barely given you any description of the concept at all, let alone illustrations. I would wonder, though, if there might be a more appropriate forum to talk about this type of idea. I'm willing to discuss it here, if for no other reason than to see how well the idea "floats."
