Experience and Knowledge

Post by Gromatici »

Wisdom is knowing something and then applying it in your life. You can become wise at compiling and analyzing deeds by experience if you have a solid foundation of knowledge in the common-law that deed interpretation is based upon.

If you lack that foundation, your interpretation might be too practical or littoral and not reflect the true intentions of the deed because you lack the background in English and American common law.

I would read Brown's books, Wattles, and any other work on deeds, and then read them again. First read them, and then study them. Take some classes or seminars, like Paul Cuomo or someone else with proven experience.
