AL pvt Mortgagee is contesting quiet title action, options?

[Roger Gelpey]

We have cleared all the obstacles to our quiet title IRS, taxpayer, liens etc but private lender has filed pleadings. Can anyone please advise on my options to deal with this? A little backround: The property is vacant and was gutted by the taxpayer who had obtained a private mortgage and defaulted when I guess the project went sideways. We have obtained the tax deed and as stated cleared the IRS claim on the property against the taxpayer and all govt liens. The lender has apparently filed pleadings with the court regarding not being paid the balance of his mortgage. I have not spoken to our attorney as of yet and was hoping to get some insight prior to doing so as he has taken 2 years to get this far with the case (pandemic etc). Thank you in advance.
