Q. Pennsylvania. Is this the wording of an easement?

27 September 2021

A: No, it is not an easement. The original parcel contained some land which was conveyed to John Smith. The deed that you are asking about conveyed everything else except for the part conveyed to John Smith. Rather than have the land re-surveyed and new legal descriptions prepared, the grantor apparently used the original legal description for the whole tract and, by reference, carved out the part that had already gone to John Smith.

Q. I rent and the tenants above me have been smoking indoors. The smoke odor is coming in to my apartment through the vents

15 July 2021

A: Your best bet is probably to move at the end of your lease. If your lease goes for an extended period, see if the landlord will allow you to leave early without a penalty.

Q. My husband recently passed away, we have a will and a trust of which I am beneficary but I never put my name on deed.

9 July 2021

A: You need to contact a lawyer to help you. In short, the Will needs to be probated and an estate opened. You, as Executrix, would then execute a deed, unless the property is already in the Trust. As indicated, you need to meet with a lawyer to review everything.
