Allodial titles are a concept that refers to land ownership that is independent of any superior landlord. In the United States, it is technically not possible to have an allodial title, as the government will always have the ability to take the land from you using eminent domain – thereby making them the superior landlord. Some states have allodial titles in their constitution, but the government is still the overarching landlord if push comes to shove. In general, the highest land ownership title you can have is called a fee simple. It means you own the land and everything permanently attached to it outright and unconditionally. Additionally, you have the exclusive right to use, possess, and enjoy the property, as long as you comply with local zoning laws and regulations. In order to obtain this, you’ll need to go through the appropriate purchasing and legal process, which a real estate attorney and a real estate agent can both assist with.
