I am answering your third email question.* Your real estate record includes a reference to the Will Book 201 109; and a Deed book reference of 8307 p 1446, as those are instruments of record that this office references in our records. They pertain to documents conveying title. The other instruments are recorded in land records at the Circuit Court of Fairfax County and accessible there. Unfortunately the view of the record sent as 'this is not a tax bill' does not reference the deed. However the deed book and page do show on the assessment notice and on the first installment bill, located above the legal description. You can check this on your assessment notice and your 2002 bill. Our records indicate that you informed us of your address change via email on July 4. Unfortunately this was after the mailing of the first installment bills. Your address has been changed, so future correspondence will go to the Arizona address. I believe Ms. Cole is sending a duplicate bill and responding to your second question.

Dear Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Washington Post Writers Group, Governing Magazine, Maxwell School, Elizabeth J. Cole:
Would any of you be willing to try to find out:
1) Why I cannot obtain a 2003 real estate tax bill for parcel 0904-01-0017?
2) What the document trail has been starting with the bill control number that would be found on that bill? For reasons too complex to explain here, it is extremely important to find out who whom the real bill was sent and why.
3) Why the reference for parcel 0904-01-0017 on the printout I was sent (attachment "This is not a tax bill") is WB201 109, and not Book 8845 pages 1449-1462 [Correction; the "Deed in trust under land trust agreement" is recorded at Book 8307 pages 1446-1452] (Deed in trust under land trust agreement), or Book 8845 pages 1449-1462 (Land Trust Agreement), or Book 8845 pages 1444-1448 (Power of Attorney)?
If the above can not be found out, would you please tell me why?
Thank you.
Sincerely, Anthony M.
O'Connell
, Trustee for Parcel 09-4-01-0017 (B8307p1446, B8845p1449, B8845p1444)"

I have been requested due to the absence of Janet Coldsmith to respond to your inquiry concerning the deed book information displayed on the Real Estate records and subsequent tax bills for the property located on Map Reference 090-4-01-0017 described as ACCOTINK STATION. Our records contain the reference transferring ownership as WB201-109 as the recorded document with the Land Records of Fairfax County Circuit Court to be the Last Will and Testament of Harold A O'Connell and the transfer of his Fairfax County real estate holdings to his listed heirs. We also display on our record the deed book and page where the heirs of Harold A O'Connell in October of 1992 under a Land Trust agreement named you as the Trustee of this property. DB8845-1444 is the Power of Attorney appointment by the heirs for you to represent them on matters pertaining to this property, and DB8845-1449 further defines your duties and responsibilities as Trustee. It also lists the Percentage of Interest in the Trust. These two documents do not convey ownership and are not required to be a part of the Real Estate records. Since they are recorded with the Land Records of Fairfax County Circuit Court, they are able to be researched by anyone inquiring about the handling of the real estate formerly owned by Harold A. O'Connell.

We are in receipt of your email with respect to the owner and legal description listed on the property described as Accotink Station, 15 Acres. As a reference, I am including your questions from your most recent email in my response:
1. If it is not clear that I am Trustee for parcel 0904-01-0017 would you please tell me why?
According to our records, you are clearly the Trustee for the above referenced property based on the will transferring ownership in WB201-109 as the recorded document with the Land Records of Fairfax County Circuit Court to be the Last Will and Testament of Harold A O'Connell and the transfer of his Fairfax County real estate holdings to his listed heirs. We also display on our record the deed book and page where the heirs of Harold A O'Connell in October of 1992 under a Land Trust agreement named you as the Trustee of this property. The information that you have requested be added to our records would be researched for a title search and is maintained and available through the Land Records Division of the Circuit Court.
2. Does my having to ask nineteen (19) times for the 2003 tax bill for parcel 0904-01-0017 have anything to do with the incorrect legal description on the tax bill for parcel 0904-01- 0017?
When you notified our office in July of 2003 of your current mailing address in Arizona, a copy of the tax bill was sent to you via email and followed by a hard copy bill on Monday, July 28. The legal description is correct for this property as listed on our records.

I have been requested to respond to your inquiry concerning the deed book information displayed on the Real Estate records for the property located on Map Reference 090-4-01-0017 described as ACCOTINK STATION. Our records contain the reference transferring ownership as WB201-109 as the recorded document with the Land Records of Fairfax County Circuit Court to be the Last Will and Testament of Harold A O'Connell and the transfer of his Fairfax County real estate holdings to his listed heirs. We also display on our record the deed book and page, Book 8307 Page 1446, where the heirs of Harold A O'Connell in October of 1992 under a Land Trust agreement named you as the Trustee of this properly. The phrase you listed and the wording in this deed define your authority as trustee,
Editor’s note: A photocopy of the fourth paragraph of Bk8307 1446, Deed in Trust Under Land Trust Agreement, is inserted in this email. The text is as follows. The parts in [brackets] were cut off but put back by the editor.
"Full power and authority is hereby granted to [the Trustee] and their successors and assigns to protect and [conserve the] property; to sell, contract to sell and grant options [to purchase] the Property and any right, title or interest therein on [any terms;] to exchange the Property or any part thereof for any [other real or] personal property upon any term; to convey the Property [by deed or] other conveyance to any grantee, with or without [consideration; to] mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the Property [or any part] thereof; to lease, contract to lease, grant options to [lease and] renew, extend, amend and otherwise modify leases on the [Property or] any part thereof from time to time, for any period of [time, for and] rental and upon any other terms and conditions; and [to release] convey or assign any other right, title or interest [whatsoever in] the Property or any part thereof."

I wish to apologize for the delayed response to your inquiry of June 4. Mr. Greenlief has requested that I reply to your inquiry The legal description of this vacant parcel of 15 acres is "Accotink Station." The Will Book reference is simply made as a convenience to help citizens (especially title examiners) determine the source of initial property transfer. We have added the deed book references per your earlier request to the existing references. So, the legal description displayed in our current records for parcel 0904 01 0017 reads as stated below
2008.02.23 7:48 am (Linda Mellott to Anthony O’Connell)
Per your request, I have copied Mr. Greenlief's previous response to your questions below:
"First, the legal description of this vacant parcel of 15 acres is "Accotink Station”. The Will Book reference is simply made as a convenience to help citizens (especially title examiners) determine the source of initial property transfer. Our listing does not affect your rights as trustee, nor does this impact the Land Records themselves. I do not understand your complaint that you "cannot properly perform your duties as Trustee until the confusions on the court records have been cleared away." There is no confusion in the court records. The chain of title as recorded in the Land Record Office speaks for itself and any title examiner or court would be able to follow the documents so recorded. The fact that we have listed the Will Book reference should have no impact on that whatsoever. Moreover, in our old computer system we had significant space constraints that limited the information we could list. Since the Will Book was the initial transfer (i.e.. the start of the chain), that is the reference we listed. As my staff has repeatedly said however, the Land Trust Agreement at DB 8307-1446 has also been listed on our records. It simply wasn't displayed in a box entitled "Legal Description."
In researching the available on-line Circuit Court documents, Anthony Miner O’Connell was qualified as co-trustee for the Estate of Harold Anthony O’Connell on June 20, 1986.
Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

In regard to the 2009 first installment taxes for this parcel, a payment was received on May 28, 2009 for the amount of $6,500.00. The check number was 115 drawn on an account with First & Citizen Bank.

(Kevin Greenlief nine times)
2004.08.10 7:10pm (Kevin Greenlief to Anthony O’Connell)
My staff has traded e-mails and correspondence with you on numerous occasions. We clearly seem to have some failure to communicate on this issue and for that I apologize. First let me explain our position on this, and then I'll explain what it is we are going to do to try to assist you to the extent possible.
First, the legal description of this vacant parcel of 15 acres is "Accotink Station." The Will Book reference is simply made as a convenience to help citizens (especially title examiners) determine the source of initial property transfer. Our listing does not affect your rights as trustee, nor does this impact the Land Records themselves. I do not understand your complaint that you "cannot properly perform your duties as Trustee until the confusions on the court records have been cleared away." There is no confusion in the court records. The chain of title as recorded in the Land Record Office speaks for itself and any title examiner or court would be able to follow the documents so recorded. The fact that we have listed the Will Book reference should have no impact on that whatsoever. Moreover, in our old computer system we had significant space constraints that limited the information we could list. Since the Will Book was the initial transfer (i.e., the start of the chain), that is the reference we listed. As my staff has repeatedly said however, the Land Trust Agreement at DB 8307-1446 has also been listed on our records. It simply wasn't displayed in a box entitled "Legal Description."
We have now implemented a new computer system that offers us some additional space flexibility. As a result, my staff has now added the deed book references you desire to the existing references. The reference included in our legal description area will read "Accotink Station; WB201-109; DB8307-1446; DB8845-1444; DB8845-1449."
Again, this is highly unusual and not at all necessary inasmuch as any title examiner, Attorney or court would be able to follow the clear chain of title as recorded in the Land Records. The listing of these deed book references on our assessment record has no bearing on your role as trustee nor does it impact the chain of title ownership. It simply lists deed book references within the chain.
That said, since we have the space and since this appears to be a significant issue for you and does not otherwise impact the validity of our records, we have made this accommodation at your request. You will receive a second installment tax bill in November. This bill should reflect these changes. If you would like to check this on-line before then, you should be able to see these changes within the next two weeks via the following Internet link http:/ /icare.fairfaxcountv.gov/ Main/Home.aspx
I appreciate that estate management can be a very complicated matter. I wish you much success as you deal with this issue. I trust this concludes the matter at hand.
2004.08.11 8:24am (Kevin Greenlief to Anthony O’Connell)
I responded to this request yesterday.
2004.08.12 9:24am (Kevin Greenlief to Anthony O’Connell)
As I told you yesterday, I responded to this request on Tuesday, August 10, 2004. Another copy is attached. You continue to send me the same e-mail and it appears to be some sort of system generated message since it is exactly the same and is non-responsive to my e-mail of August 10, 2004. In the event you are not reading my electronic response for some reason, I am also mailing you a hard copy response. There will be no further response from me to these type of messages.
2008.02.20 4:17pm (Kevin Greenlief to Anthony O’Connell)

"I received the email you forwarded from Mr. O'Connell, and have the following comments;
(1) No.
(2) Yes.
(3) The County simply uses an abbreviated notation of what the property is for their tax records. We would not consider their notation to be a complete legal description of the property. Quite frankly, as our title commitment states, we would expect the purchaser to obtain a survey of the property prior to closing, giving us a new, current legal description of the property, which is the description we would anticipate using in the deed to be recorded conveying the property.
I hope that helps answer your questions.”
2007.05.15 6:15am (Lisa Overton to Anthony O’Connell)
"Mr. O'Connell: They simply make a "note" of a partial description of the property on the tax records rather than list a complete description of the property. We would require a complete description of the property in the deed and would not consider the county's shortened "note" version to be a complete description. I hope that clarifies it for you."

"Bill forwarded your email to me from yesterday, which again asks about the County's notation of the legal description. I believe that we already answered your questions on the legal description, so I am re-sending to you my email of May 15th which addressed the County's legal description.

"Yes, that is me from 1988 -can't believe how old you are making me feel, and I can honestly tell you that I do not remember that specific 1988 case.
Having said that however, when I look at the documents you attach, you did in fact sign the deed as a Trustee, the qualification simply required that a
Co-trustee also sign since you were not a resident of Virginia. I do not recall which firm we were using in 1988 to prepare our deeds, we have used quite a few different firms in the past, but it looks as though in the derivation of title paragraph that you underline they simply tried to consolidate the statement of facts. Perhaps they should have been more clear and said that Mr. Higham was appointed WITH you as co-trustee and not in your place.
There is no requirement for a Trustee under a land trust to be a Virginia resident; therefore it is a non issue in this case.”

"I think that Bill is just trying to help, but I am happy to answer on behalf of Stewart Title. WB201 109 does indeed refer to Will Book 201, page 109 as Steve Blizzard indicated earlier. Accotink Station refers to the subdivision name and DB8307-1446 refers to documents recorded in Deed Book 8307 at Page 1446. DB8845-1444 refers to documents recorded in Deed Book 8845 at page 1444 and DB8845-1449 refers to documents recorded in Deed Book 8845 at page 1449. They are all simply references to documents recorded in the land records.
I hope that helps.”

"Anthony, I don't understand what you are asking. These individual documents are simply several documents found in the title search - each has no specific meaning by itself; we look at all the documents found in a title search to determine ownership, insurability, what easements or restrictions affect the property, etc..
Then all of that is translated into a title commitment, which you have a copy of. You also have a copy of every underlying document from the search.
If there is a specific question you have about one of the documents please let me know, but there is no “meaning” assigned to each particular document.”

"WB201 109 is the court qualification page for the executrix named under the will.

"We are obviously unable to satisfy your questions in this matter. I would suggest that you hire an attorney to represent you that can review and analyze the title search on your behalf and at your expense. We have concluded that the property is insurable and have issued our title commitment. We have provided every copy we can from the title search and forwarded it to you more than once. Should this case go forward we are happy to close the transaction for the purchaser and issue the title insurance policy or policies, but there is no additional information on the search that I can provide to you at this time.

"Because we have already answered it again and again and again and our answer never satisfies you. It is simply one of many documents forming the chain of title."

"I am happy to answer yet again, that WB 201 109 is simply one of many documents we review in the chain of title to the property to decide insurability. The purchaser is welcome to choose another title company for this purchase.

"We already answered these questions by prior email dated May 11th of 2007. Again:
We do not see a problem or conflict of any kind between WB201 Page 109 and the other documents in the chain of title at this time. In 1988 you did need a Co-Trustee appointed per Virginia requirements of an estate, and that was done. Property is now vested in the land trust. A trustee of a land trust does not need to be a Virginia resident as I have indicated on many emails, therefore there will be no problem for you to sign the deed and other documents as Trustee of the land trust that now owns the property. I do not know how I can make this any clearer.”

"You did not qualify individually, a co-trustee was appointed. So that's a no to you individually - Yes to you WITH A CO-TRUSTEE."*
*Reference: The 1988 deed at Book 7005 page 634 says: ".....whereas Anthony M. O'Connell, Trustee, could not qualify and Herbert A. Higham, Trustee, was appointed to act in his place and stead."
Reference: There are three Land Trust documents for Accotink recorded in the court records: (pdf)
- The "Deed in Trust under Land Trust Agreement" at Book 8307 pages 1446-1452.
- The "Power of Attorney" at Book 8845 pages 1444-1448.
- The "Land Trust Agreement" at Book 8845 pages 1449-1462.
