A property owner acquired a property by means of a deed that included a deed restriction against building any kind of unattached structures on the property. The owner now wants to build a small office in a separate structure. What can the owner do to overcome the restriction?

Answer:

The owner must obtain a quitclaim deed from the parties involved in the deed that prohibits building attachments to the house.

Step-by-step explanation:

The deed might have been imposed by a homeowner's association, or the local government, or even the previous owner. So the current owner must obtain a quitclaim deed (where they terminate any right or deed over the property) in order to be able to build the office.
