• Purchasing a bug out location might end to a “legal firing squad”
• You also will not be able to manage the property as well as a local
resident of the area.

3. Avoid Common Legal Nightmares on
Your Property

4. Here are a few legal items to avoid when
you purchase land.

▫ Fighting over property lines between neighbors.

5. • Multiple Property Sales
▫ People selling the same property multiple times.

6. • Illegal Residents
▫ Squatters or people staying on your property
without permission.

7. • Property Destruction or Theft
▫ Vandalism or people stealing your stuff on the
property.

8. • Livestock Disputes
▫ Fighting about who the livestock belongs to.

9. • Illegal Sales
▫ Many different ways that people can sale illegally,
such as some short sales.

10. • Land Use and Resource Rights
▫ Getting legal use of your property, access to your
property, and the resources on the property.

11. • Leasing of Land
▫ What rights you have, and actions you should
take when improving leased land.

12. • Home Owners Associations
▫ Government in its lowest form. Always opt-out.

13. Don’t Get Stuck in These Situations
• Avoid any of these items when purchasing a
property. The items I listed are actually the most
common cases brought to court, so obviously,
are a big issue.
• Just knowing that these problems exist and what
