About this webinar
This case study traces a piece of property for two hundred years, from the Native Americans to the Dutch, to the English, and through fourteen members of the Hicks family over five generations. Transfer of title occurs through various instruments, including patents, unrecorded deeds, inheritance, escheatment, private laws, entails, deeds of lease and release, life estates, and coverture. Tracing the lineage of the property elucidates family relationships that were otherwise forgotten.

Good example of why you need a lawyer involved in land transactions! LOL!
Well done!! Destroyed records makes tracing land ownership so difficult. Glad you got lucky with those donated papers! Thank you for making this available to us!
