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.

Keywords: Indiana, debt adjustment agreement, creditor, repayment plan, manageable, outstanding debt. This agreement serves as a legally binding commitment between the debtor and the creditor(s), establishing the terms and conditions for repaying the debt. The purpose of this agreement is to provide a structured and affordable way for the debtor to repay their debts, avoiding bankruptcy and allowing the creditors to receive at least a portion of what they are owed. In Indiana, there are two types of Debt Adjustment Agreements with Creditors that debtors can pursue: voluntary agreements and court-ordered agreements. 1. Voluntary Debt Adjustment Agreement: This type of agreement is entered into voluntarily by the debtor and creditor(s) without involving the court system. The debtor usually seeks the help of a licensed debt management agency or credit counseling service to negotiate with their creditors on their behalf. This agreement typically involves consolidating all the debts into a single monthly payment, which is then distributed among the creditors as per the agreed-upon terms. The debtor adheres to the repayment plan, making timely payments to the debt management agency or credit counseling service, who then distribute the funds to the creditors. 2. Court-Ordered Debt Adjustment Agreement: In some cases, debtors may be unable to reach a voluntary agreement with their creditors, or they may be facing legal action due to their unpaid debts. In such situations, the debtor may file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which triggers a court-ordered Debt Adjustment Agreement. Under this agreement, the debtor's debts are restructured and consolidated into a manageable repayment plan, overseen and enforced by the court. The debtor makes regular payments to a court-appointed trustee, who then distributes the funds to the creditors based on priority and the terms established by the court. It is important for debtors to understand their rights and obligations when entering into an Indiana Debt Adjustment Agreement with Creditor. They should seek legal advice or consult with a reputable debt management agency or credit counseling service specializing in debt consolidation and repayment plans. By doing so, debtors can ensure that they are entering into an agreement that best suits their financial situation while addressing their outstanding debts responsibly.
