Land Patent Facts
The truth in owning private land
I have listened to a podcast where the focus was on changing political status and allodial title through the land patent. I don’t know about the status change but I do know about land patents.
First of all, the federal land patent is a contract from the federal government. The terms of the land contract are written on the land patent. “TO HEIRS AND ASSIGNS FOREVER”. This land patent is to be given to heirs or buyers of the land in perpetuity. The land patent also says “TO HAVE AND TO HOLD”. This means it cannot be encumbered or taken by a third party for any reason. This contract is signed by the President of the United States.
Contract law states a contract stands and cannot be destroyed or mutilated. So if there is a secret lien
on all property in the U.S. and that’s what your property taxes pay for, the federal land patent contract is superior to the deed contract. Maybe that’s why it was hidden?
It was stated in this podcast that around 1933 the patents were hidden. When you do your title search after obtaining your land patent you will find these patents were not transferred to the owners after the original patent holder sold the property. This is why you see in the title search so many folks lost their land in the 1930’s. The history is in the deeds.
Also, when one applied for the original federal land patent one had to provide evidence of U.S. Citizenship.
Look into the Homestead Act or the Enabling Act for your state. That’s where Congress made the laws for obtaining a federal land patent.
Those of you in the Eastern States except the 13 colonies, may have federal land patents. I have found two from Minnesota.
Those of you in the original 13 Colonies may have a State land patent from the soldiers who were given land in lieu of payment for fighting the war. I have seen one from Tennessee. Read the patent, that is where the terms of the contract are written.
Therefore, you can have allodial title. The federal land patent was supposed to be given to land owners when they took possession of the land….in perpetuity.

You’re on the scent — patents are the root title, the real “to heirs and assigns forever.” They prove land was meant to be owned, not collateralized. But let’s not pretend paper alone stops parasites. We may be bulletproof in contract, yet the Fed’s got plenty of bullets — and jails.
The win isn’t waving a parchment at a sheriff — it’s cataloging the patent, teaching the history, and making seizures politically costly. Use the old promise as leverage, but build silver, soil, and community too. That’s how wolves hold ground against the machine.
