I do not think the recipient of a ROW can demand anything but the right of the use as described in the deed/ROW.  

Lots of boomers & CALPERS recipients headed your way.

You have 3 seconds to convince the recipient to open the envelope. 

For extra formality, put it on a nice document with your letterhead.Re: Non-Binding Letter of Intent to Purchase Real Property Located at [Property Address]Dear [Recipient's Name]:This non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") is submitted by [Your Name] (the "Buyer") to [Recipient's Name] (the "Seller") with the intention of setting forth certain preliminary terms and conditions for the proposed acquisition of the real property located at [Property Address], inclusive of all improvements, appurtenances, and fixtures thereon (the "Property").Purchase PriceThe Buyer hereby proposes to purchase the Property for a total consideration of $[Amount] (the "Purchase Price"), which shall be subject to adjustment based on the results of the due diligence investigations and final negotiations.Earnest Money DepositContingent upon the execution of a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "PSA"), the Buyer shall deposit earnest money in the amount of $[Amount] (the "Earnest Money") into an escrow account designated by the mutual agreement of the parties.

My tenant lives in the unit above me and has been there since before I purchased the property (She is also a section 8 recipient).

Dear Christopher,I don't think you will have a problem...because your target population should be cash-pay clients, not Medicaid/Medicare recipients.

The icing on top of these joys - to the extent the property is depreciable in the hands of the recipient - it is an ORDINARY gain, and not a capital gain. 

Welfare recipients are a special class and have special privileges eg: income qualifications. 

I think it would be in the best interest of newbies to establish an account with BofA or other large institutions because they are so resilient and offer great products.On two occasions last year, I wanted to pool funds to one account in order to send just one wire transfer to avoid confusion to the recipient.

This often reduces the capital gains tax owed by the recipient.
