DICKINSON CUB SCOUT PACK 696 KICKS OFF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.


JOIN Cub Scout Pack 696 on Tuesday, 8/28/18 at 6:30 pm at the First United Methodist Church in Dickinson for their 2018-2019 Pack 696 Kickoff Pack Meeting!

Cub Scouts is for kids from kindergarten up to 5th grade.  And, this year, Cub Scouts is now open to both girls and boys.  Cub Scouts is a weekly program that helps Cubs grow in a variety of skills.  It also includes monthly outings, camping trips, hiking trips, pinewood derby, and more!

As the Cub Master for Cub Scout Pack 696, I'd like to say...

We are excited to have our Cubs come back this year as we hit our one year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey!  With Harvey in our past, we know this year will be filled with lots of exciting items, campouts, visits to Camp Karankawa, overnight stays on ships, and more!

Our committee has completed the 2018-2019 calendar planning, and we are finalizing the details, but you can view the calendar as we update it by visiting www.cubpack696calendar.com.

Look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

What does title insurance protect you from? A lot.

I received this email from Stewart Title regarding Title Insurance, so I wanted to share it here.

----------
There are few things in life more important than protecting your home. The following matters are examples of why you need a Stewart Title insurance policy. Remember that the best title examination or search cannot protect your equity and home from matters not appearing in the public records. However, a Stewart Title policy* can protect you from:

  • Documents executed under false, revoked or expired powers of attorney
  • False impersonation of the true land owner
  • Undisclosed heirs
  • Improperly recorded legal documents
  • Prescriptive rights in another not appearing of record and not disclosed by survey
  • Failure to include necessary parties to certain judicial proceedings
  • Defective acknowledgements due to improper or expired notarization
  • Corporate franchise taxes as liens on corporate real estate assets
  • Gaps in the chain of title
  • Mistakes and omissions resulting in improper abstracting
  • Forged deeds, mortgages, wills, releases of mortgages and other instruments
  • Deeds by minors
  • Deeds which appear absolute, but which are held to be equitable mortgages
  • Conveyances by an heir, devisee or survivor of a joint estate who attempts to attain title by ill-gotten means
  • Inadequate legal descriptions
  • Conveyances by undisclosed divorced spouses
  • Duress in execution of wills, deeds and instruments conveying or establishing title
  • Issues involving delivery of conveyancing instruments
  • Deeds and wills by persons lacking legal capacity
  • State inheritance and gift tax liens
  • Errors in tax records
  • Demolition and substandard building liens
  • Administration of estates and probate of wills of missing persons who are presumed deceased
  • Issues of rightful possession of the land
  • Issues concerning the rightful conveyances by corporate entities
  • Deeds and mortgages by foreigners who may lack legal capacity to hold title
  • Legal capacity of foreign personal representatives and trustees
  • Issues involving improper marital status
  • Improper modification of documents
  • Rights of divorced parties
  • Conveyances in violation of public policy
  • Misinterpretation of wills and ancillary instruments
  • Deeds by persons falsely representing their marital status
  • Claims by creditors of decedent against property improperly conveyed by heirs and devisees
  • Issues concerning unlawful takings by eminent domain or condemnation
  • Special tax assessments
  • Real estate homestead exceptions
  • Forfeitures of real property due to criminal acts
  • Issues concerning adoption of children
  • Conveyances and proceedings affecting rights of military personnel protected by the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act
  • Issues concerning interests noted in financial statements filed under Uniform Commercial Code
  • Interests arising by deeds of fictitious parties
  • Adverse possession
  • Lack of jurisdiction or competency of persons in judicial proceedings
  • Community property issues
  • Utility easements
  • False affidavits of death or heirship
  • Intestate estates
  • Probate matters
