Thread Prompt:
Assume that you are Martin’s attorney, as well as his brother or sister in Christ. Looking at the situation from both a legal and a spiritual perspective, give Martin your best assessment of his legal rights in connection with the various property law issues that he has encountered, along with your best advice as to how he should handle the situations.
In connection with this assignment, you may want to research the following legal concepts and incorporate what you find in your Discussion Board Forum thread if you consider them relevant:
- Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship;
- Adverse Possession (sometimes called prescription);
- Eminent Domain;
- See, e.g., Kelo v. New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005).
- Bailments;
- Good Faith Purchasers for Value; or
- Any other legal concepts you believe may be relevant.
· Scriptural support (incorporated throughout)
- Page numbers must be included with all in-text citations.
Sources:
· At least three academic/scholarly sources, at least two of these must be primary or secondary legal sources
· I strongly encourage you to use KELO v. NEW London, 545 U.S. 469, a primary legal source, to answer Eminent Domain.
· It is a critical United States Supreme Court decision and I want to see you incorporate it this week
· Lexis-nexis is a great source for references
