#2392 If te government decides to transfer the title of property to a private party this is carried out by means of an instrument commonly known as a quitclaim deed. Is this true or false ? Take your time. The solution is posted below the wildlife photo. A. False When a private party receives title to property from the government the govermnment will issue a patent to that party. Generally speaking, a patent is an instrument which is used to convey a parcel of government land to a private party. Just like granting an inventor the sole rights to an invention, the government is granting an individual the sole rights to a piece of land formerly owned by the government. 10/13/2013

#2391 When real estate is transferred from one party to another the process is commonly referred to as the avulsion of quitclaim. Is this statement true or false ? Please take your time. The solution is posted below the wildlife photograph. A. False When real estate is transferred from one party to the next we commonly refer to this prcocess as alienation. Avulsion is the proccess of a body of water stripping away land and isn't connected to the process of quitclaim. A quitclaim is a deed that will convey any interest that a grantor has in a property, at the time of the transfer of the deed, without any warranties. I suppose, for the sake of a laugh, an avulsion of quitclaim might represent the gradual tearing away of the quitclaim from the grantee by a divorce lawyer :-) 10/13/2013

    Everyone's asking: "What will the government shutdown do to our nation's homeowners, and what damage has it already done ?" Will everything continue to run smoothly ? Not really ! Perhaps to a degree for Fannie and Freddie purchasers since the GSE's (government-sponsored enterprises) are owned by shareholders and privately run. Homeowners are jittery, though. There's a lot of uncertainty and fear. Interest rates are rising, too. Rapidly.   Now some bad news. HUD (the US Department of Housing and Urban Development) runs the FHA (Federal Housing Administration). Almost all of the HUD employess were laid off. 90% of them. What does this mean. Well, it's not good. HUD applications can't be processed quickly. Some won't even be reviewed until the shutdown ends. And then, it'll take much ... 10/10/2013
