Thank you for your responses and for confirming my suspicion.

That is also how I have understood it.
I was the sole owner of a property in Texas that I sold to an investor sometime last year. He also requested a QC from my wife.

In addition, I bought a piece of real estate in Colorado that had two deeds.
A QC from the wife and a GW from the owner (the husband).

No legal opinion, but wouldn't it kind of cover your "end" if you reported this to the police?

Assume that something goes wrong. Would you be responsible in some way?

The world is no longer fair these days.

I'm thinking about buying a lot that has the same issue as this. I want the lot; I just don't want to find out later that the encroachment is much more than the 2'+ around the shed.

I'm researching everything and have already posted here in the hopes that someone might share an idea.

Just a thought! How hard is it to move the shed and be done with the problem? Sometimes, being right is expensive.

I'm looking into buying a property, and while doing some title research, I noticed that the seller's "General Warranty Deed" says this:

Exceptions to Conveyance and Warranty:

Any and all liens, covenants, conditions, reservations or other matters affecting title to the real property. Easements or claims of easements which are not recorded in the public records of Dallas County [The property is not in Dallas County] or reservations of coal, lignite, Oil, gas and other minerals, together with all rights, privileges and immunities relating thereto, appearing in the Public Records. Any encroachments. encumbrances, violations. variations or adverse circumstances affecting the title. Any portion of the property herein described which falls within the boundaries of a road or roadway

Grantor, for the Consideration and subject to Exceptions to Conveyance and Warranty, grants, sells, and conveys to Grantee the Property, together with all and singular the rights and appurtenances thereto in any way belonging to have and to hold it to Grantee and Grantee's heirs, successors, and assigns forever.

Then, following the metes and bounds, it says this:

The company is prohibited from insuring the area or quantity of the land described herein Any statement in the above legal description of the area or quantity of land is not a representation that such area or quantity is correct, but is made only for informational and/or identification purposes and does not override item 2 of Schedule B hereof.

Am I right to be alarmed? Is his deed anything better than a quitclaim deed?
