Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana
Grandfather Clause
Need information regarding the grandfather clause. Friends of mine have been living in their home for 20 years and bought it from a man who also owned an apartment building next door. He also sold the apartments to someone else. 20 years later the new owners have just found out that they needed a new well put in and by doing this found out that the water to the home that my friends live in also is hooked to that well....they didn't know either. I told them that it sounds like maybe this would fall under the Grandfather Clause since its been 20 years. But I'd check since I'm not sure.....Thank - you ahead of time....

Re: Grandfather Clause
I think the more practical approach is for each party to have his own well. I doubt that there is any remedy that would require the apartment property to provide well water for the residence next door, regardless of the knowledge of the various buyers.
