Re: Real Estate Question
The mortgage people won't have a clue, you need to talk to the title company who has the title insurance policy for the house. Here we call this situation a 'clouded title' and you cannot sell or transfer ownership of a property without 'clear title'. Usually the title insurance will pay the legal fees necessary to clear the title.
If you don't have a title insurance policy you will need to talk to a lawyer who specializes in property law.
IMHO- a piece of land with a clouded title is worthless and that includes the lot you own. It would be in everyones best interest to get it cleared up.
