Bankruptcy? Who to contact?
Hi all. My partner and I were driving for houses, and came across one that appeared empty. It had a "winterized" sign on the front door so we came home and researched it. The house is still in the ladies' name, with her buying the house in 2007.
I am new to this, and have a limited understanding of all this, but we searched the Register of Deeds for our county and found that she filed bankruptcy in 2015. Like I said before, the owner of the property is still this lady, NOT a bank.
Who do we call or write? She's still the owner, not the bank. (I'm not sure how bankruptcies work, so who else could own the property?) This is a nice house, just needs some sprucing up (we could see in the windows and the roof & a/c are good indicators usually, to the condition of a house).
Thanks for any direction you can give us!
M.
