Job Hunting

I applied for another job a couple of days ago. I was so enthusiastic about it that I didn't even bother to include a cover letter. The folks got back to me, asked for a writing sample and I obliged. This is a short-term contract position and it kind of sounds like fun. If hired, they are looking for someone to write content for the national real estate exam preparation. 

Here's a sample of the scintillating prose I came up with. Don't laugh! I followed the guidelines they provided and they specifically said they didn't want entertaining or for me to--and I'm not making this up--"wax poetic."   

Ways to Transfer Title.

There are four ways to transfer title.

1.      Voluntary Alienation, which is through public and private sale. For example, Brown provides money to buy Smith’s land.

2.      Involuntary Alienation, which is done against the owner’s will and includes foreclosure, eminent domain and adverse possession.  Additionally, Escheat falls into this category as well. For Example: Spring Town needs a highway and buys Circle’s land through eminent domain.

3.      In Descent is where an individual dies with heirs but does not leave a will. The Probate Court will appoint a representative to handle the individual’s estate and distribute the deceased’s property. For Example: Purple dies but does not have a will. Purple’s estate goes through the probate court and the court appoints an administrator to distribute Purple’s property.

4.      When a Will is in place, property is transferred by the will of the descendant and through the term’s of the will. For Example: Blue writes a will naming Green an heir. Blue dies. Before Blue’s death, Blue named an executor whose responsibility it is to carry out the terms of the will and distributes the estate to Green.
