Description

Boundary line disputes involving real estate are common. They generally arise as a result of some or all of the following four factors: (1) Formerly unsurveyed property owned by amicable neighbors passes into the hands of an outsider who orders a survey and discovers the boundary lines are in a different place than previously thought; (2) Formerly amicable neighbors who did not care about a 10- or 20- foot discrepancy in boundary lines suddenly care when oil or gas is discovered under the land, or the property becomes so valuable that it is being sold by the square foot rather than by the acre; (3) Advances in surveying technology would have placed a property corner in a different location than the original survey or placed it, and when this is discovered, the neighbors go to court; or (4) Someone mistakenly builds a house or other improvement with a portion located on the neighbor's land and the parties resort to the court system to resolve their differences. Consequently, there are very specific rules for resolving boundary line disputes: (1) Advances in technology make no difference because the property corners are where the original surveyor placed them according to his or her own state-of-the-art technology for the time, not the absolutely accurate location according to today's technology; (2) If there are mistakes in the description, courts follow a hierarchy of things to consider and things to ignore if there is a conflict among descriptions within a deed; and (3) If someone innocently builds an improvement that encroaches on another's land, most courts will figure out a way to either give the property to the encroacher or will order the person to sell a minimal amount of land to the encroacher.

Illinois Debt Adjustment Agreement with Creditor is a legally binding contract between a debtor and a creditor in the state of Illinois. This agreement is specifically designed to help individuals in financial distress to manage and repay their debts effectively. The purpose of an Illinois Debt Adjustment Agreement with Creditor is to establish a structured repayment plan that enables the debtor to satisfy their outstanding financial obligations while providing some relief from overwhelming debts. This agreement often involves the assistance of a licensed debt management agency or a credit counseling service. There are two main types of Illinois Debt Adjustment Agreements with Creditor: 1. Voluntary Debt Adjustment Agreement: In this type of agreement, the debtor voluntarily seeks assistance from a debt management agency or credit counseling service. They work together to negotiate a revised repayment plan with the creditor, ensuring affordable monthly payments according to the debtor's financial capabilities. This agreement helps the debtor avoid bankruptcy and prevents the creditor from pursuing aggressive debt collection actions. 2. Court-Ordered Debt Adjustment Agreement: In certain cases, when the debtor is unable to reach a voluntary agreement with their creditors, they may opt for a court-ordered debt adjustment agreement. This agreement is typically initiated through a petition for debt adjustment filed by the debtor. The court reviews the debtor's financial situation, takes into account their income and expenses, and then establishes a court-approved repayment plan. This plan is binding on both the debtor and the creditor, and it may involve a reduction in the total debt amount, reduced interest rates, or increased repayment period. In both types of Illinois Debt Adjustment Agreements with Creditors, it is crucial for debtors to understand their rights and obligations. They must adhere to the agreed-upon terms and make timely payments. Additionally, debtors are often required to attend financial counseling sessions to better manage their finances and avoid future debt crises. By entering into an Illinois Debt Adjustment Agreement with a Creditor, debtors can regain control over their finances, alleviate the stress of overwhelming debts, and work towards becoming debt-free in a responsible and organized manner.
