The deeded rights are a type or Right-of-Way.
The listed property owner is the owner. The deeded access is restrictive to only those parties. A deeded ROW cannot be removed by the lot owner.

They do not own the property, at least that's what I was told.
We don't have an official association name or that would be on it.
There has to be a name attached to every piece of property. I prefer their name rather than mine.

An attached name is the owner of record.

For deeds, the Grantor is the former owner, and the Grantee is the new owner.

The town (Moultonborough) will llist "owner information" on the "property card" of the tax/gis maps listed on the town website.

If you say so, then it must be.

That is what it means to be ''owner of record''.
Every now and then, the towns find lots that have no owner of record... so the town acquires it as abandoned property.

For an OHRV or Snowmobile trail, they must have owner of record permission... except on town/city rights-of-way... those just need BoS or Council approval.
