Legal Answers
6 Questions Answered
- Q. How is the power of attorney supposed to sign the document
- A: The following format is required by Wisconsin Statutes for Powers of Attorney created under Ch. 244.
.... (principal's name) by .... (your signature) as agent.
- Q. Differnce between joint tenants and joint tenants with rights of survivorship
- A: Generally, in Wisconsin, there is no material difference between joint tenants and joint tenants with rights of survivorship. There can be a material difference, depending on the wording, if the parties are husband and wife. Whenever property rights are involved, especially as between husband and wife, it is vital to have an attorney explain the ins and outs of the different classifications.
- Q. Does adverse possession apply to federal land
- A: Generally, one cannot acquire title to federal land by adverse possession as one would under 'normal' adverse possession law. However, there is, in my opinion, a little known law named the Color of Title Act, which establishes a procedure by which an individual may be able to obtain clear title of federal land he/she believes is his/hers. It is not exactly adverse possession, but many of the same requirements must be established, too.
If you want to gain clear title to the federal land, you will almost certainly benefit with the help of an attorney.
