No deed...how to get title?
I'm working on a deal where the owners cannot find a deed, which includes their (subpar) lawyer. The property has been owned by the sellers parents and grandparents over the years, getting transferred to the heirs as the various family members passed away over time. No one can find deeds of all these transfers, and the sellers are scheduled to lose the property to tax sale this summer. How can we secure clean title to this house in that time?
