BLA request by will
I have a sort of legal question that hopefully some of you could have some input on to help lead me in the right direction. I have a client with two properties, one being about 30 acres and a neighboring property being about 160 acres. He does not like the cost of the county BLA application. What he is proposing to do is to have me make a plat of a land transfer of about 16 acres from the 160 acre parcel to the 30 acre parcel. Not proceeding with the county process of having the BLA approved. (I should note that what he is proposing to do with the land does not violate any county zoning ordinances now or in the foreseeable future regarding the BLA.) Then keeping the plat and referencing it in his will as to what he wants done with the property. The new 36 acre tract going to an heir and the remainder going to a different heir.
My question is, at the time the will would be executed, would the BLA then need to take place by the county processes? Or, by having a plat or any sketch for that matter, be enough to have that granted? Would that be enough to get around a BLA application or is he just kicking the can down the road?
