Getting Title Insurance on land purchased at tax deed auction
Last Sept. I bought a residential parcel at a tax deed auction in upstate NY near Albany. I hold full legal title, and wanted to sell quickly. I had an enthusiastic buyer all set, but it feel through because her lawyer's title co. said they wouldn't insure anything bought at auction until 2 years had elapsed. Any suggestions on how to find a title co. that will ensure the property so I can sell it without waiting until late next year?

Bryan A. , my tax lien purchases that resulted in a tax deed have all been kept as rentals so we have not felt the need to do a quiet title action yet. I do have a local South Carolina real estate attorney who has experience doing them.
