Seller signed Warranty Deed over to buyer so tax foreclosure stopped
Unique situation - need advice. Seller was facing imminent foreclosure due to unpaid property taxes. She signed a purchase contract for $75K with closing within 30 days. Title company started title search and while waiting for results (we knew there were multiple liens that would be paid from proceeds at closing), I paid off property taxes so foreclosure was stopped after seller signed the warranty deed over to me in front of a notary. Once title company had finalized title search, seller decided not to follow thru with the closing. Title company stated if she refuses to close, I can sue her under the contract for specific performance of the contract and or can just record the deed and take ownership of the property. I opted to record the deed. Not sure what I should do now to get her out of the property - this is in Florida.
