I have a full backpack that I need to mail. What is the best/cheapest way to do this? Do I need to put it in a box or can I mail it just as is? It is like an army backpack, like this...

Pic isn't loading for me. Is there a rigid frame? If so, can it be broken down?

USPS is the cheapest and best. Take it to the post office as is and they will give you your best options.

Well this is curious
-
Go to lowes/uhaul/HD and get small moving box for <$1, go to USPS, and follow MIR's instructions from there. Add tracking and insurance as necessary.

If it will fit in a large USPS flat rate box, I would go that route. You can grab a box for free at the post office to see if it will fit. If not, pitch it.

Going to residence or APO/FPO?

Going to residence or APO/FPO?
Yes, full of contents. It is going to a regular residential address. Also, I guess I should probably go through it to make sure I am not mailing anything illegal? Can lighter fluid be mailed legally?
-
Assuming that it's full of stuff you find valuable, I would UPS and insure appropriately. I've done that ahead of trips before, probably will again this summer/fall.

How to....execute a will?
Are you required by law to file the will in court within 6 months of the death? (Because that's what I read.)
Or should you wait until after 6 months and do a "Determination of Descent"? (Because that's what an attorney said to do.)
And if you file the will in court, does it have to go through probate? Is there an easier way to do this if...
1) There is a will designating only 2 heirs (and also designating the same as executors)
2) The 2 heirs are in agreement (except that one of them just wants to blindly trust the attorney and one of them wants to do more research)
3) The 2 heirs are not a spouse or minor children
4) No, it does not qualify for a small estate (<$40,000 or something like that)
-
My lawyer said that in ks all estates go through probate, but those with wills process quickly and per the wills direction. If that is correct, filing the will seems like the fastest way to settle the estate.

Thanks. Seems like it should be easy considering the circumstances but what the attorney said doesn't make sense to me.

eff that coffeyville atty guy. All that needs to be done is to have the will filed and it will clear probate in a matter of a couple of weeks. Then hire a title company to get the house re-titled.

well first off, don't hire the same smalltow shitbird who drafted the will to file it, because she will procrastinate and forget and then you'll spend a year and 15k getting it recognized. Or so my parents found out.
Anyhow, yes, file the will with the court, it will have to be probated (notices filed in the newspaper form debtors, etc.) then probate will close. Takes a little bit (couple of months).

How to... settle a property line dispute?
We are considering buying some ground from dad so I had it surveyed by the county. They went out and dug up the markers and found that the dividing line is fudged between the neighboring property onto our side about 30 feet the entire length. It adds up to about 5 acres of lost ground for us. What's the best course of action now? I talked to the farmer renting it to find out exactly who owns it and got the run around. I feel like this should be simple but I think it will end up a crap show. I know the old man who used to own it but he gave it to his 3 kids about 5 yrs ago and there has been a divorce. Any suggestos bros?

I'd probably think twice before mailing a flammable such as lighter fluid, but check with USPS. I believe they have some regulations concerning flashpoints of potential flammables.
What else is in the pack??

You can find the owner by going to the county and looking for deed information. Many counties have their cadastral GIS available online and you can look it up that way as well. At the very least you'll get the PIN number or Tax Identifier. From there, make sure you have documents absolutely proving the land is yours. If land has been sold a few times they may also have paperwork that states it is their land if a new survey wasn't done. New owners may not be happy if they paid for 55 acres of land and only got 50. Also, you never know what previous ancestors/owners did. The county should have records of all sales/splits/joins, etc.. after that, contact the owner as nicely as you can and let them know you had the land surveyed, show documents, etc.. they may be ok with it and you won't have to get lawyers involved. Otherwise you'll need to likely get lawyers involved. Or you can sell them the sliver as well.
-
If they surveyed from the legal description (legal description takes precedence over a drawn line) of the land based on the deed, that is a good start. Where the neighbor may have some rights to it is if they have been paying taxes on that land for a number of years. Say they own 100 acres but have been paying taxes on the 105 acres for 50 years, whereas you own 105 acres and have been paying taxes on 100 acres. They could claim they were the maintainers of the land and have been paying taxes on it for a long time. A lawyer that deals with land ownership will know more on this, but I would try to check what your father has been paying taxes on vs. what he owns. He may have been paying taxes on that land even though he didn't know it was his. he could have been paying taxes on "100" acres, even though he only had access to 95. In that case, you would have very solid ground to stand on.
One way to possibly work it out with them is to grant a temporary easement allowing them to continue to use the land for a specific time period(say, the farmer who rents the land has it for another 5 years before his contract is up). At that point when they go to renew a rental contract for farmuse, the easement will expire and then they will no longer have access to said land.
If you don't mind telling me the county it is in, I can point you towards their online parcel system if they have one.

I ended up just getting a box (that I had to pay for) from the post office and paying the cheapest shipping which was about $15. It was too big to use any of those 1 price boxes. And yes I went through and took out the lighter fluid.

My dad lost 5 acres on a new lot he bought with a very similar set up. Lost it because the neighbors sued and won due to him maintaining it for over 15 yrs while it was owned by the previous owner. Don't remember what that is called, but it's a squatters thing.

We'll need to sell our house before the mowing kid takes ownership from us.

I think you the owner has to know you are taking care of it, and does nothing about it. So, in my dad's example, the neighbor set his fence on what is now my dad's property when the old owner had it still. He then ran cattle on it for something like 20 yrs, all the while maintaining the ground and the fence. When dad when to reclaim it, the guy quickly won the Adverse Possession suit.

Sounds like we may be screwed. Could it make a difference that the neighbor passed his ground on to his kids recently (5ys ago)? There has never been a natural or man made divider between the 2 properties (i.e. tree row or fence) just 2 posts one at each end of the border between the 2 properties.

For the next 20 years just move the posts 1ft a year and you get back 20ft p easy really

yes, adverse possesion requires "actual, open and notorious occupancy". So simple occasional mowing or usage doesn't count.

Just put a fence at your real property line.

All the ground in question is tillable acreage. Hmm, I may pursue this thing.

Mrs gooch is right. Just put up a fence on your line. Don't ask for permission.

Have they been tilling this acreage for a considerable amount of time? Or is it untilled? If they've been tilling it for 15+ years, it will be more difficult.

Just start farming up to the line and put up "No Trespassing" signs. Remember if you put up a fence the right half is theirs.

Yes, they have been tilling it for 15+ yrs.
When dad bought the ground 40ish yrs ago he went out with a measuring wheel to mark off his ground. The neighboring property owner (lives within 1/2 mile) met him at the half mile line and pointed at the post in the field and said. "That's it, that's the property line." The guy was best friends with grandpa so dad took his word and left it alone. That's how we arrive at the present situation.

The old man probably believes that's how he made his fortune. If you told him that Tony and the boys are going to be by to relocate his fence, he probably would keep his mouth shut.

He already gave the property to his kids so in that case I'd be fighting a divorced couple, a married couple, and a dyke.
